*** T32 Lost & Found ***

[harlam357]

T32 Lost & Found

- An effort to find some of our lost brethren and boost team spirit.

- I have PM'd everyone on the list I've compiled below and hope they post here and let us know how they're doing, folding, or just to come chat.

- The list is absolutely random as I just scanned old threads for names of people I haven't seen in a while.

Disclaimer: I did not check folding output, OCF activity, or anything else. This list is of people I cannot personally recall seeing. So there is a high probability that it is flawed and I apologize if your name is here even if you've been active.

[Midnight Dream]

I'm still here folding away, just been quiet in the folding forums.

[harlam357]

Good to know Midnight! :) I think I may have clicked to your profile and saw you were still being active on OCF. However, that didn't stop me from putting you on the list. :D

Sit down... have a cup of :beer:, I mean- coffee. How are those Georgia wildfires gettin' ya'll in Tifton? It's been bad here off and on... I'm just 100+ miles west of you guys. :)

[SuperDave1685]

I'm here :D I've been having computer problems lately... You can check out my threads in the Windows forum and in the wanted section.. s soon as I figure it out, I'll be back!

[harlam357]

Good to see ya Dave! :thup: Get that rig goin' and bring it back to teh FOLD! :D

Otherwise, how's the Marine scene, life, baby, etc?

[dmatko]

Still folding on my end....errr computer end that is. maybe get 2 rigs up and running again by end of this year sometime after finish home remodel.

[harlam357]

Nice to see ya d- I mean- IffyGo! :D Boom! :)

Sounds like someone's playing Bob Vila.... please share some pics if you can. :thup:

[Lancelot]

Last year I got tired of my power-hungry bigtower dual Irwindale Xeon system on water and decided to go solely DTR, since I was always using my laptop anyways! But I'm still here folding with the laptop in my sig, often leaving it on overnight just for Team32 lol! I occasionally post in other sections of ocforums.com

[Soichiro]

I'm still here and folding, I just haven't been checking the Folding section of the forums lately. I haven't been checking my Folding stats either... But it turns out I got 300k sometime a couple of weeks ago. :D

[harlam357]

Good to know you're still with us Lancelot! :) And thanks for running that lappy. It's guys like you who just dedicate just a rig or two that really make the difference. :thup:

@Soichiro, excellent milestone! :beer: x 300k for you my friend. :clap:

[Leviathan41]

I'm still around the forums from time to time (I bought a cool Pirate Folding shirt :D).

I'm still folding as well :thup: I'm working toward the 1 million point mark and will hopefully be there before long. I recently upgraded to a C2D E6600 so when I start folding on it, it should really help my production!

I'm leaving tomorrow to go on vacation for a week, but when I get back, I will try to hang out here more. Thanks for the message harlam, I think this is a good idea. :)


BTW, if anybody needs any Folding Propaganda, just yell! lol :D

Thanks Leviathan! :attn: We'll be in touch. ;) And Enjoy Your Vacation! :thup:

[Sorin]

Still here and folding. I check the forums everyday, I just don't talk much.

[WarriorII]

I know ghettocomp works nights, I'll give him a call & find out what's up.

I was half expecting a call to help him set up some server racks
for his ghetto-closet. :)

[drshivas]

I'm here. For the record, I fold as cshive5, and am ranked #42. I used to fold w/o a team since mid 2001 before joining T32 in mid 2003. I chose to keep my original FAH user name, but now it looks like I shoulda just switched! I had only 18K points from before joining T32. :-/

I'm a slow and steady folder, in it for the long haul. Fold on!

[ssjwizard]

hey thanks for the pm. ive ben bussy last few months thats why ive not ben around to much. moved in feb and again last month. anyways hope everyone still doin good hope to be around more sometime soon.

[ihrsetrdr]

Great work Harlam! :thup: :beer:

Track 'em down! :D

Seriously, great job reaching out to the membership.

[damarble]

You've found me! Still folding steady with the main rig, although I had to take down the server today because I'm moving and will need to cut back on electricity use :( Going to hit 200k this month though which I'm pretty proud of. :)

So I'm still around and drop by randomly to read a few threads but mostly I've been trying to be out and about enjoying 21. :beer:

[harlam357]

@Sorin- good to see you! :) Thanks for stopping in. I did promise free :beer: so I guess I need to stand by my word.

@WII- find the ghetto man! :attn: He at least needs to stop in and say Hi! :D

@drshivas- I thought that was you when I was browsing the stats, seemed to lend itself to your user id. Oh well, just had to bring ya out of hiding anyway. :D

@ssjwizard- nice seeing you ssj! :beer: <- here's one for you... and :beer: <- one for me. Ahhh, nice to see the team hanging out. :D

@damarble- :beer: x 200k... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/harlam357/smileys/beer4.gif

[moz_21]

Hey, I'm still around and still folding! I've been less active on the forums mainly because of work. 6-7 days a week doesn't leave much time for anything so I've chosen to get out of the house and try to have some kind of a social life. I definitely have some computer maintenance to catch up on but I haven't done it yet. I'm also trying to get stuff together so I can move out of my parents house among other things. I'll post some more later, I'm gonna do something tonight lol.

[LandShark]

great to see you guys still kicking and folding!! :beer:

just remember at least stop by the forum every now and then and drop us a note!! ;)

[allen1090]

Im also still around, but 99.99% of the time I just read through the forums. Folding is still doing good, although my ps3 points are down due to Monster Hunter (ps2 game).

[z0n3]

I just got out of school last Saturday. All of my rigs should be up again as soon as I finish unpacking and do some basic maintenance.

[William Hung]

Sweetness, new numbers from veteran folks! Good to have everyone back!

[AlabamaCajun]

Good one H :clap:

[harlam357]

@moz_21- Good to hear from you! :beer: <- I suspect those might have a bit to do with your disappearance. :D Thanks for posting mate! I miss having all yous guys around.

@allen1090- Just remember... that game won't kill cancer... it'll probably give it to you! :D j/k. Please stop in more often and let us know how you're doing. :thup: We need activity from everyone!

@z0n3- I knew you would show up! :) And your plan sounds excellent!!! Get those babies Foldin'... wish I had the summer off. :D

[satandole666]

Ahh wow...I hadn't completely forgot about T32 just have been really busy lately. That and I switched to linux (32 bit instead of 64, whoops). I just sold my main C2D rig so I'll have to get my laptop up and running.

My borgs are still going strong though!

[dicecca112]

I'm here, still folding just not for Team 32 anymore, haven't for more than year.

[godofgorks]

Hello. Although totally random that this thread was started yesterday and I'm responding today I haven't been on the forum for at least two or three weeks. I hardly visit the forums anymore since I'm working 50+ hours a week, commuting to school full time, and also wrenching for several race teams. I had to quit folding a few months ago when the weather started to turn warm as my laptop was just getting too hot for my comfort. I currently do not have any other computers together for folding, although I have enough pieces for three (two mobile bartons and my classic duron), I just haven't found the time to get them put together. I did get my F@H T32 pirate shirt not too long ago and wear it often. :)

[NedClocker]

I'm a slow and steady folder, in it for the long haul. Fold on!
I should be as slow and steady as you are! :D:D:D Fold on! (Slow and steady wins the race, right???:D)

[NedClocker]

I'm here, still folding just not for Team 32 anymore, haven't for more than year.
Wish you were still folding w/ T32, but, glad you're still folding.

[danvvc]

aawwww shugs..
nice to see threads like this. makes it feel like a little community.
Im still folding away, although at one point i was chasing big numbers (i was on the topten list for t32), i'd just as rather have a little stack of stable work horses. (although 5x C2d will be added shortly, folding 24x5 :) )

i still try and read the forums looking to help some1, but as it increasingly moves towards linux and PS3 it moves out of my knowledge base..

**hugs the folding community back**


-danvvc

[SuperDave1685]

lol danv... If you don't mind me asking dicecca112, why'd you leave T32?

to harlam- Its alright... jsut re-enlisted, so looks like I'll be heading out to the west coast this time around :D

[dwschoon]

Hi, I'm here. I'm working 2 jobs and planning a wedding, so I don't have much extra time anymore. Things should hopefully calm down after the wedding in September. I'm still folding SMP on my 805 and AAR1 is still up and running. I'm not gone forever, I promise. BTW, I still wear my original pirate shirt. Its still holding up ok despite the many washings it has been through.

[JackNSally]

Yeah, where is Ghettocomp? And everyone else? Come back to the fold!!!!!

[dicecca112]

lol danv... If you don't mind me asking dicecca112, why'd you leave T32?

to harlam- Its alright... jsut re-enlisted, so looks like I'll be heading out to the west coast this time around :D

Well I found myself not being as involved as I was prior here. Also I realized that there was no way I would ever climb the ranks here. I was more involved on another site with a smaller team, and I enjoy helping them accend. We hope to be on the first page by the end of the year. The team here is large, and you guys lossing my little PPD would do little to nothing. I way more involved at the other site, so I fold for them.

[harlam357]

Thanks for sharing dicecca! :thup: I didn't think your departure was due to ill feelings towards the Team or OCF. We are just a happy bunch here. :)

...and that makes perfect sense to Fold with whom you're more involved. Thanks for stopping in and giving us the heads up. Right gentlemanly of you. :beer:

Have fun with those guys @ Legit Reviews (http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=38296)... and just know that you'll always have a home here with T32. :thup:

[Joeteck]

I'm still folding....

Currently @ 101,562 (http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=189765).. WOW, I broke 100K!!!! Whoa!

[harlam357]

Thanks to danvvc (Optimus Prime), dwschoon, & Joeteck for stopping in. :beer:

Congrats are in order for dwschoon! :clap:

...and also for Joeteck. 100k x :beer: == :attn:

*hugs* Optimus Prime b/c there's a little Autobot in all of us. :D /waits for the movie. :drool:

[DorianBrytestar]

Awwww ye noticed :sn:


I had a few of my folding boxes get snagged for actual work use (drat!) so my numbers have taken a huge hit.

I still come here and read just about every day, but a lot of my spare time has been taken up by beta testing games.



:huggles:

[NedClocker]

"For everyone's sanity, please only make one change at a time!"

Oh, come now, Dorian. It's more fun if I change a few things! j/k!

One of my favorite lines is, "It's just a small, minor change." It's like famous last words.

[harlam357]

Awwww ye noticed :sn:

Thanks for stopping in Dorian... here's your free :beer: I promised. That was a bit shady of me wasn't it... promising free :beer: and all. :rolleyes: :D

What sorts of games are you beta testing there... or is it a secret? :eek:

[GigaHertzAddict]

Hi guys.. I still folding.. I remember 2 years ago I was in 10,000th place, now I'm 875th place..overall.. not bad eh?

[SuperDave1685]

Just as a side note, I'm still folding on an old PIII 1Ghz and my work P4 2.26Ghz machines :D... Slow but steady wins the race, right?

[orionlion82]

some of these people been lost are pretty new.

oh, yeah, and build, borg and recruit...

re-recruiting isnt such a bad idea either....

[MVC]

Hi everyone. I'm still around, but I don't really have the time right now to get involved in long discussions so I generally confine myself to reading rather than posting.

I've still got 5 rigs folding and should hit page 1 sometime this summer.

[harlam357]

@Giga/MVC- good to know you're both still with us! :beer: Please stop in and let us know how you're doing when time permits. :thup:

As well... thanks to both of you for your contributions to the Team. We wouldn't be the same without your support! :)

[inkfx]

I'm back from a little break. :) E6400 is back up and folding. Now if I could get this BIOS flashed on my P4P800E-Deluxe so I can clock up this 3.0E. I tried to do a boot CD but when I was getting ready to flash it told me the .rom was broken. :head bang

[harlam357]

Hecks yeah!!! :attn: You got that e6400 on SMP? Awe man... you gots to have some SMP. :D

Great to see you ink... and I really like the avatars the Benching Team has been sporting. I've always thought about doing something similar over here. Although my photochop skills are sorely lacking. :)

[DorianBrytestar]

Thanks for stopping in Dorian... here's your free :beer: I promised. That was a bit shady of me wasn't it... promising free :beer: and all. :rolleyes: :D

Currently they are a secret, but I'll let ye know as soon as I can!

[pscout]

Its very nice to hear from everyone.

Keep up the good fold to all :)

:beer: :beer:

[AmbientFiction]

You found me harlam I'm still folding just no time to post my computer business is taking most of my time.

[inkfx]

Great to see you ink... and I really like the avatars the Benching Team has been sporting. I've always thought about doing something similar over here. Although my photochop skills are sorely lacking. :)
Oh yeah of course the E6400 is under SMP. Wouldn't dream of going back to that regular client. :)

thanks. Thideras really did a fine job on these.

[harlam357]

@Dorian- you must share... I like secrets! :D I promise not to tell anyone. :rolleyes:

@Ambient- good to see you! ...and sounds like things are on the up and up with your business. :beer:

@inkfx- I agree... very nice job. I bet we could find someone here with some skills to do something similar. May have to take a poll and see if everyone is into it.

[leelegend]

i hope we find everyone.......

.......and then loose harlam :):):)

[Sleepy_Steve]

Hey guys. I'm still arround here folding, although my capacity is reduced... because the presscott just heats things up so much when its folding.

I'm almost near 100k, but still have not gotten back into SMP. Summer classes have me bussy, but I'm still folding for T32! :beer:

[harlam357]

Good to see you Steve! :thup: If you need help getting that E6600 on some SMP just shout... I'm sure we can get you going in no time.

Apparently I must be the one who's sleepy... otherwise I would have responded sooner. :D

[Sleepy_Steve]

Oh its more me being lazy, having already set up a batch file... one double click opens clients on both cores...

And SMP, (i think) requires a legal copy of windows... and I'm really hesitant to actually install my ONLY legal copy of windows... Yeah, I know... silly phobia for a person who has done dozens of manual windows installations, and hundreds of automated ghosting re-imaging 'installs'. But thats that, I am afraid of using a copy of windows I have already paid for.

Even if I can run it without supporting software directly from MS, there is still the matter of me taking like 30 minutes to figure out what I need to do, click yes/agree a bunch and get it working smoothly.


*Disclaimer* -- I did not 'steal' windows. I got nailed for not keeping track of which volume key went with which volume disk, as in the old days of XP it didn't matter. Then the validation thing came out, and things went to poo from there.

[ihrsetrdr]

...and SMP, (i think) requires a legal copy of windows...



SMP works great in Linux; you can get a legal copy of Linux FREE! Try it, you'll love it! :D

[leelegend]

order a student or OEM version....nice and cheap
linux....yuk :)

lee

[harlam357]

linux....yuk :)

funny you should say that lee... considering your beloved OSX is built on top of BSD. :D

[ihrsetrdr]

funny you should say that lee... considering your beloved OSX is built on top of BSD. :D

lol! ;)

The BSD's simply rock; wish there was an SMP client for FreeBSD6.2(AMD64).

[Sleepy_Steve]

LOL guys... I own a legal copy of XP Pro... but I'm just too lazy to get what i have on there now re-installed and validated.

I have linux SMP ready to go in a spare partition on the E6600, but I need windows for most of my day to day activities... And I killed grub and cant run SMP over night any more.

[TollhouseFrank]

stopping by real fast just to help in this... if i'm not mistaken, isn't mjw21a living somewhere in the middleeast? If my memory serves me right, that may be why ya haven't seen him in a while... things out there are kinda hot-n-spicy.

[sno.lcn]

dz_jad still lost? I'll send him a message on facebook and see what's up :)

[dz_jad]

Hallo!
I guess I am lost! Just got sno's PM :D
As soon as I got up to school up here, things got busy, and I didnt have the hours I used to, when I lurked around the boards nearly 7 hours a day :D
I still fold, somewhat. I got one Uni-proc runnin', and my GPU gets a wee bit warm without the AC here :(.
Anywho, thanks for caring! Maybe I'll lurk around some day, again.

[mkorpal]

Hi guys. thanks for the invite. This is the first time I have logged in since the winter. Life got a little crazy, and I got a little lazy. I'll try to get some folding done soon, but I went from being a full time student to being a full time worker in a day, so I don't have a ton of time. But I will try to find some time to get some. Any new folding thing happen since December? Have they got a windows SMP client yet. It would be nice not to deal with Linux right now. Well, anyway, thanks for remembering I exist.

[harlam357]

Opps... looks like I've been neglecting my thread. :D

@dz- good to see you... please stop in when you have a chance. And thanks for keeping up the Fold for Team 32. :thup:

@mkorpal- as well... excellent to see you. Yes, WinSMP is in the beta effect and is decently stable. Most rigs don't have an issue with it... and it doesn't require a 64-bit version either as does the Linux client. :)

[||Console||]

Yea the Win Smp Client rocks I just wish I had mroe DC rigs .

[harlam357]

bump... :)

[Adak]

@dz_jad, you gotta keep in touch and tell us what work you're doing, now. No fair leaving us in suspense with a teaser line.

@mkorpal, please let us know what's going on with you. Folding or not, we want to hear what's doing with you.

"And ve have vays of making you talk!" :D :D :clap:

Be well, and do drop us a line when you can.

[deadlysyn]

It's good to see this thread back near the top again. Hopefully this will help some of the lost people get back in the game. It would be good to atleast hear from some of the lost.

[Adak]

I haven't seen Midnight Dream on the forum lately, and his folding has just stopped recently.

Anybody know if Midnight is just off on vacation?

[NedClocker]

Doing my best.

[harlam357]

Nice to see you lenny... although you weren't on the original list I'll add you to the Found Club! :beer:

...and I think it's time for another round of PM to some absent Folders. Time to go thread searching. :)

[iceage]

I'm not sure if I'm lost or found, but I'm around. Folding SMP under cgcihil for T32. :soda:

[harlam357]

You weren't on the list iceage and I apologize for not catching your absence... but it's good to see that you're here and still Folding.

Stop in more often... I was thinking earlier today about where I saw the tag "I Fold therefore I am". You just answered my question. :beer:

[DorianBrytestar]

Lost my c2d at work so my production will drop by about half for a bit for awhile. :(

Good news is that I got a raise and moved from a contractor spot to a full time regular employeee of a major Company so I should be able to pick up some folding machines for home soon. (In addition to my e6600)

[Adak]

Congratulations on the new position, DB!!

Sounds like better pay AND better job security. :soda: or :beer:

[KaHNZa]

I'm back folding again for Team32! Haven't folded in over 2 years. :eek:

Only folding on the rig in my sig. I need to start saving my pennies for a new cpu. Wanna get something dual core. But I'm poor so I dunno when that will happen.

I need to get myself reacquainted with these forums. Its been a long time. ;)

[DorianBrytestar]

Congratulations on the new position, DB!!

Sounds like better pay AND better job security. :soda: or :beer:

Oh it's many many :beer:

MUCH MUCH MUCH better =)

I got super lucky to be in the right place at the right time with the right experience etc etc.

[harlam357]

Great to see you Dorian & KaHNZa! :beer:

Glad to know you're still with us! Keep up the Fold! :)

[dkim086]

Been out for a while. Not on the list but I don't mind. Had an old Athlon XP and P3 1Ghz laptop folding full time but electricity bill had crippled me. But I'm back with a new dual core laptop folding whenever I do homework or at school. So I'm back.

btw does anyone know if folding on linux is faster? Reason for asking is that I'm dual booting with Ubuntu and was wondering if folding would be faster on linux.

:welcome: back to the party :)

With lots of 2653's around atm they fold faster on linux than windows ... 20-30% when i last did a comparison.

So linux should produce more on average atm.

btw does anyone know if folding on linux is faster? Reason for asking is that I'm dual booting with Ubuntu and was wondering if folding would be faster on linux.

Excellent!!! :attn:

I imagine since you're not running your laptop 24x7 that you're also not running SMP at this time, due to deadline constraints... so if you are indeed running a standard uni-proc client then you won't see any appreciable difference in production on Windows vs. Linux.

Great to have you back dkim!!! :beer:

[DorianBrytestar]

Congratulations on the new position, DB!!

Sounds like better pay AND better job security. :soda: or :beer:

Heh, btw, just went out and checked out our data center where our 700 or so servers are housed.

:drool::drool::drool::drool::drool:

The place is insane!!!!!

Google has about one third of the place :)

[Adak]

That is quite an impressive facility.

I want one!! :clap: :clap:

[shellshock]

holy thread bump batman. Yes, I'm no longer lost, and yes, I'm still folding. haha

[harlam357]

Great to hear it shellshock!!! :beer: Better late to the party than never. Here's another brew 4 u! :beer:

I may have to find some time to review some old threads and update the list, PM some lost souls, and see if we can bring some renewed life into this thread... and our forum. :beer:

...sorry, I'm on a :beer: kick tonight. :D

[hitbyaprkedcar7]

im here guys, i still have something out there folding for t32. i think, lol.

im parting out the rig in my sig, so the only machine i have now is my macbook pro. maybe ill fold on my macbook.

viva la t32 :)

[Adak]

I noticed our power-folder with extreme wanderlust - yes Zim (zim01), has stopped folding for his last team (MySaroise - which is now devoid of any active folders).

Anybody have any idea's on Zim's whereabouts, currently?

[harlam357]

hitby!!! I knew you'd come around eventually. :D Again, better late than never. :beer:

Please, T32 would love to have your MacBook on the roster. :) Don't be a stranger, ya hear?

[hitbyaprkedcar7]

yup, its crunching away :)

[Oric]

Hi ya H!

Yes I am still around and folding.

So have a :santa:Merry one by drinking a few :beer:

[harlam357]

The Big O!

What's the word on ya man!?

I see ya up there Foldin' On... but better watch your rear view. ;)

Good to see ya bro! :beer:

[harlam357]

Bump TTT she goes... with the talk about bringing back old members I thought this thread to be relevant.

[deadlysyn]

I think this thread is quite relevant, as well as the threads in the AMD CPU's and Intel CPU's, so I dug them up last night, and gave them a good old nudge. Maybe something will happen with those being a bit closer to the top.

[harlam357]

New List

If anyone would like to add someone to this list please PM me. :)

[shadin]

Haha, hey guys. Thanks for the PM, harlam. :)

I just built the new rig in my sig, so about to start folding again. I was actually going to post tonight about any tips for the Windows SMP client.

[harlam357]

Hey shadin! No problem... glad to see you're still with us. :)

Just be aware that the WinSMP client requires a network connection... anytime it is interrupted Folding still instantly stop. The client won't visibly stop, but no further progress will be made.

I think this is more a problem with the external / third-party modules (mpiexec, smpd) Stanford uses to mange the multiple core processes.

[shadin]

Good to know. I also noticed that it doesn't seem to save any progress, so it's an all-or-nothing thing? That might hurt since this is a gaming rig, sometimes a reboot just has to happen.

[harlam357]

Yes... the WinSMP client will save progress at the set checkpoint time and on each completed frame. Just be sure to shutdown the client properly (Ctrl-C) before doing that reboot and you'll be fine. :)

Also be aware that the deadlines are very short for SMP WUs, typically 3-4 days. I don't know much about that series, or any series really, of Intel but I imagine if Folding mostly 24x7 you should be able to complete a SMP WU in at least a day- but again, I'm just guessing.

[shadin]

Ah, okay, sweet. The one WU I did this week to test it (I know, one in a week, shameful) finished in just over 24 hours so shouldn't be a problem.

[Evil_inc]

Still here, still overclocking, still folding. just been alittle busy :D

[ihrsetrdr]

:beer::beer::beer: for Harlam for helping members return to the fold!


:soda:

[harlam357]

Still here, still overclocking, still folding. just been alittle busy :D

Word dude... I think we all know how that is. Good to know you're still with us! :beer:

Also, thanks to ih for the kind words! :soda:

[blueswitch]

I'm still around, still folding when I can, just going through a move so my tower hasn't been hooked up, but as soon as I finish moving I should have it up and folding again.

[harlam357]

Nice to see you blueswitch! Glad you're still with us! :)

Are you sure you haven't been Folding b/c of all that WoW your playing? :D ...at least that's what I think that avatar is. :)

[jstutman]

I didnt die (not really)

A few months ago I settled in to a new place with roomates. I lost all my spare rooms and computers to space. The one rig I have running (vista ultimate) just one day decided to stop running. I am trying my best to get out of this situation and I promise one day I will be back to folding like normal

[harlam357]

Good to hear jstut! :beer: That you're not dead :p and that you're still Folding with us! :D

We need you going 198mph again as soon as you can. :)

[{PMS}fishy]

I'm not lost. My confusers fold w/ default settings. Its too much work to do well. The project isn't the same, and motivation for it isn't there either.

[tenchi86]

Hey, thanks for the PM. I am not lost, just honestly felt like the project was no longer something I am greatly interested in.(Not to mention I lost all my rigs due to various issues except an old PIII) It's a sad thing I know, though to make up for it I have been donating cash to many medical research programs.

[NedClocker]

I'm not lost. My confusers fold w/ default settings. Its too much work to do well. The project isn't the same, and motivation for it isn't there either.

:confused: What happened? Why the loss of motivation?

[NedClocker]

I am not lost, just honestly felt like the project was no longer something I am greatly interested in.

What is going on? Why do people lose interest? And even if you do lose interest, you can still just let it run and forget it.

[deadlysyn]

:confused: What happened? Why the loss of motivation?

Good question. How could someone lose motivation being as close to passing the Aussie's as we have been. If anything, that alone has done nothing but increase my motivation. I guess everyone has a reason for the way they feel though.:shrug:

[Miralcos]

I'm still around. Flip through the forums here and there. Haven't stopped folding. Got me a new motorbike back in the summer and I've spent most of my time riding.

[{PMS}fishy]

:confused: What happened? Why the loss of motivation?

1. The people.
2. The direction the project headed.

Its just not the same that it use to be.

[Adak]

PMSfishy, you go through the pain of an upgrade to an E6450 C2D, or better, and start folding with the new smp client, and I geeeaarrraannttee, you'll feel better about FAH. It just puts a smile on your face to see it work,

I certainly don't understand all the ins and outs of our FAH projects, but we must be doing something right - since FAH started, there have been at least a few other FAH-like projects that have started up.

[deadlysyn]

1. The people.
2. The direction the project headed.

Its just not the same that it use to be.

1. Are you kidding? The people here are great. I have been on the folding team for almost 3 years, and not once has one of my questions gone unanswered. We are almost like a brotherhood here. We do everything we possibly can to help eachother out.

2. I understand that there have been a few of us here that have felt the same way. From what it sounds like to me, a lot of the people have been really aggravated the way the points system has been going. If you take the members that have been folding for this team since day one, starting out at only 1 point per WU, from what I understand it was, and then a points adjustment, and having to borg 10 rigs just to maintain 1000 PPD. Then the SMP client comes out, and now a single computer can put out up to 5 times as much as 10 did just a couple years ago. I can see how this could be frustrating. It is not that one client is more important than the other, but technology is headed in a new direction, and the science needed to follow, to possibly get faster and better results.

It may not be the same as it used to be, but would you be willing to give us another shot?

[WarriorII]

He's saying we're no fun. :p


We still luv you fishy !

I understand, it's a new generation in here, totally different that it use to be.

[harlam357]

I'm still around. Flip through the forums here and there. Haven't stopped folding. Got me a new motorbike back in the summer and I've spent most of my time riding.

Great to hear Miralcos!!! Funny, a guy from Hog country riding a Hog. :D

Stop by and check in with us when you have time... we're always happy to see our fellow teammates out-n-about. :)


1. The people.
2. The direction the project headed.

Its just not the same that it use to be.

Yes, I'm sure the landscape has changed... I guess we're not as fun as we used to be. :D That's ok... things change with time, it's inevitable that some will lose interest. We hate it, but it's something we must deal with.

In regards to the direction of the project... I cite deadly's explaination of the points changes that have happened. I know we lost some really dedicated Folders to other projects because they felt like their efforts were being diminished by the advent of the SMP client. I'd like to point out that without their efforts early on we wouldn't be where we are today. No work is insignificant... and we wouldn't have our current structure and clients without those people. Again, the landscape has changed and will change again. It's our duty as a team to continue to adapt and Fold onward and upward!

It's not ALL about the points anyway... Here's to you Team 32! :beer:

[Douken]

well helo there, yeah, hadn't been active in a while. News are I finally change from the old celeron system I had to the thing on my sig, right now Im in OH in my aunt's place, never been to the states before and sure is cold up here. I hope to get a job fast so I can save some money and pump up my rig so I can fold faster lol :D

Greetings to all, how were those holidays? :D

[veryhumid]

Hey guys! I'm thrilled that someone took the time to find me. I'm also very embarrassed. Basically I'm in the last term of my college career and I have no time for gaming and computer shenanigans. It's very sad, I know, but it was important to me that I eliminate this distraction. So I parted out my (very nice) rig. Basically, I shoved that money in the bank to make some interest while I don't have time for gaming. Later this term, maybe March, maybe May, I plan on building a new computer. Quad core for sure... folding for sure.

All I can say is I'll be back soon, and I think about OCF and folding every day! Sorry for the long note.

<3 TEAM 32 <3

[tenchi86]

Really not sure why I lost motivation to be honest. Some faces have changed, but honestly cannot say they are any worse then the people before, just a slight different overall mood then before. It was a bit of a disappointment the Folding Mentor program never really took off, but as I was not the leader of the program I really did not feel right trying to make a new site ect. without the consent of the original founder. That combined with the fact that all my local borging hopes really never went through(Was supposed to have a borg starting this year with a about 120 P4 computers but sadly the network they were on was vandalized to a point where basically a complete lockdown of all the computers was put into effect.) and the fact I only have access to a very slow folder just really made the process turn a bit grey to me. Anyway I still check this forum from time to time, even though I don't post much, so I am sure I will eventually be back and hopefully much stronger then before. Until then though cheers too those who have continued to keep motivated and I really do wish you all the best of luck.

[WYTOUT]

Morning all, haven't hit the boards in a while but I'm still here folding away for T32 at a mediocre 2000-2500 ppd. With nearly 600K clocked I'm finally starting to see that first 1 mil marker off in the distance :D... now... ahem... about that free :beer: harlam promised would be here....

fold on!

[harlam357]

Excellent to see you WYTOUT!!! :beer: Grats on the 600k. :)

Here's a six'er on me... :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

[Como]

Might as well keep me filed under lost. Been a busy few years, I've logged in here twice in the last 4 months, both times looking for a good deal on some ddr (seems i keep selling mine off to clients)

I still have a few rigs floating around, though.
http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=117427

If the electricity deal in maine goes through electricity prices will drop, and I'll be able to throw together a few of the new servers i've been planning. Sadly I'm averaging like 50ppd, my fleet of rigs has sputtered and faded, i've got more processing power in my car than my home these days. Mobile life :(

[ghettocomp]

I'm not lost, just re-configuring it all for the next run. seems I need to catch up with all the millionaires. :D

[harlam357]

I need to say hi to veryhumid & Douken. No post here should go without reply... good to see you guys and glad to know you're still with us. :beer:

Nice to see you as well Como... and a few good borgs are better than no borgs at all. Every point, every WU, and every member counts.

Tha Ghetto!.... Tha Ghetto!.... I'm waiting to see that can of ghetto whoop arse to start flying up the ranks. :)

[RoadWarrior]

Hi guys,


Checking in to let you know I'm still alive. Never got set up and going again since I moved, been too busy batting away bits of falling sky with a tennis raquet ever since. Dead cars, long term sick relatives, raising their kids, fixing problems with the house ... my one machine I've got set-up is glitchy and neglected enough I can't really fold on it, haven't had time to sort just this one out. Hopefully getting some time over the next couple of months to get my old rigs set up and workshop sorted out. When everything is humming along and deglitched, I'll borg 'em again. Likely to be MIA a lot for most of this year still though.

Road Warrior

[harlam357]

Nice to see you RoadWarrior... I must confess that I was quite teh n00b around here back in your hay-day. It's great that we've got the old guard still around, even if in short order... this is a great Team, no, the Best Team to Fold for. We have a great spirit here and that's what makes Team 32 the best, regardless of whether we're on top of the stats list- although that would be nice too. :D

Hope RL gives you a break soon... come back when you can. :thup:

[flixotide]

*cough cough wheeeeeze cough* man, dusty rigs all over.

No, haven't been folding for a while, but that certainly doesn't mean I'm entirely lost.

Well... maybe I am, sorta. But I'm still waiting for the right opportunity to raise a new wave of CPU's... having had too many singel rigs here and there, was taking up too much time, and since my current position doesn't leverage my former CTO status, I'm yet to see any serious borging :D

Cheers People,

[Joco]

Eeh, Hi everyone!
I accidentaly saw that I was on this list adn yes, I am folding, but no, unfortunately not for team 32 anymore.
My homeforum decided to start a team and I felt that I should fold for my own team. Maybe when I in the future get more rigs I might start folding for you again, caus i do not doubt that I will get more rigs in not so many years, computers is my main hobby...:D

[harlam357]

Thanks for stopping in Joco! :)

Glad to know you're still out there and Folding... even if it's not for us! The cause is greater than any Team.

What is your home forum and Team?

Please don't be a stanger... we don't discriminate. You're always welcome here on OCF and Team 32. :)

I don't think he means the people and project are bad, just that they are different. When I started folding there were various different names that I haven't seen around for ages who were leading and/or part of the team (eg Ploaf, Roadwarrior, flitoxide, arkaine etc)

I think I may have posted in a way that made it sound differently than I had hoped it to. I do understand that he meant the people and the project are different. Nothing seems to stay exactly the same as time goes on. It just seems to be something inevitable.

The older names that I have heard much about, like Fishy, Wedo (may still be folding or just unchanged client.cfg files from the one click), flix, RW and many of the other leaders from the past really helped build this team. Too see the amount of points and WU's these people had put out without SMP, GPU and PS3 clients is really amazing and shows dedication that I wish we all had.

[mjw21a]

Hey guys, havent been folding for a while as most corp environments I work in wont allow it anymore. Beyond that I've grown rather power conscious in the last few years. Since I've just recently acquired a new Radeon 4850 I may put it to work for a while to test how it goes.

Great you found Silver, I can remember once upon a time we were neck and neck for months then he upgraded and pulled ahead....

Just checked my stats and I'm absolutely amazed. It would appear that I've still got some systems somewhere out there folding. Its amazing that they're still running after all this time.

Cheers.

Does GPU folding really perform that much better than folding on CPU alone?

Yep, you can get nearly 5K PPD from an 8800 GT 256M card. With some of the newest cards you can get 8K PPD.

Wicked, will do so sometime. Just have to try get my cards temps down. It always seems to be sitting at 82 degrees C...... A little worries about having it folding at those temps, if only I could find a dual slot cooler! :bang head

[David]

Unstuck for now, trying to reduce clutter.

[Vipersfate]

Found. Lost all computers in a flood. Moved out, owe someone some cash, but I'm around here somewhere. I may begin folding again once winter hits, lower bills for me that time of year.

[drshivas]

Bump!

The team needs all the help we can get!

[moz_21]

Just a little update. I'm currently unemployed so I'm not able to fold but on a couple of machines. I've killed off the client on my machines at home but I have a couple going at my parents. If I find that my power bill doesn't drop a bit, I may start it up again anyhow. Otherwise I'll be on hiatus for a few months.

Edit: It seems to have saved me $20 total... I'm not sure it's totally worth it.

[Cjwinnit]

Hi there.

Computer's in bits an awaiting parts to get it going again, but may get back into folding once this is all sorted. It's a 3.6 Ghz single core though so i have no idea what it can do...

[orionlion82]

not dead, not folding and very busy

[Adak]

Our "fighting" moderator - yep, WarriorII, is back, and has asked me to post this up.

I suppose we'll have to behave ourselves, now! No?

Would you believe we'll behave ourselves Monday through Friday, then?

Would you believe we'll behave ourselves between Monday at 0500 hours through 0501 hours, because we're still sleeping?

:D :D :D

Welcome back, Warrior! :beer: :beer: :beer:

[harlam357]

This is something I need to get back on... oh where to find the time? ;)

I second that... :welcome: back WII :attn:

[deadlysyn]

I have noticed that Shiggity has been MIA lately. Both in the Folding Forum and on EOC. I think getting this going again would be a good thing. Maybe we can get some of the old team back together.

[harlam357]

Yeah, it's been on my long term to do list for a while now... I've just got too many other things going on that I've considered asking someone else to take it over. I have a slew of old PMs from the previous rounds I've done on this... I looked at them the other day and most of those names on those PMs would qualify for a "Lost & Found" PM again.

Anyone interested in taking this over? I'll send you the list of names I've PM'd in the past. Otherwise, the big thing here is the time it takes to identify old "lost" members and then put together the PMs to those folks... in the past I've browsed EOC stats... looking for inactive names I recognized... or looked through my thread history for names I recognized. Again it can be time consuming... and I just haven't "manufactured" the time to do anything with this.

I've been found! 3850 and a E3110 folding away :clap:
