Jeffreyw5000 was a guy who I tried to borg, but he started folding for himself, oh well, at least he is for team 32

TollhouseFrank · Jun 13, 2005

its the slow seaon. come back fall and winter, we'll start recruiting heavy again.

Also, a few new users have joined under some of hte subteams, especially F(OC)LD.. ( think we had 2 new users recently add a CPU to our Subteam).

8 > 0

Im right with you though.

If we had 10% of the forum community folding we could kill [H] and OCAU.

Seven · Jun 13, 2005

Yeah, while 8 is better than nothing, something has to be done about recruitment.

Maybe an unbiased contest would work well (I remember David came up with a formula that worked both ways) to drum up recruitment...hmmm...

tack it on to every exchange on the forums, that they hafta come over here 'n take a look, I havn't had a single one say that he (or she) had been over here already

davekusa · Jun 13, 2005

The contest is a good idea. Maybe we will get better traction with a contest in fall.
10,000 point minimum entrance fee. Anyone should be able to crank out 10000 points in 3 months. Ok maybe 7500. If you get 50 people to joint at 7500x50=375000 points.
The [H]ord looks like they had a couple hundred join for their contest. Thats major PWNAGE.

How is the new contest biased?

jonspd · Jun 14, 2005

Well looking @ active user's [H] has almost twice what we have @ EOCF stat's page plus the Au and hard people are almost getting twice the PPD we are so yea I think we need to do something or else where never going to catch them. Nik cant do it by himself

stratcatprowlin · Jun 14, 2005

Yeah we're gonna need to get more members if we're gonna overtake anyone.
Plain and simple.There's only so many computers that our current members can borg or buy.
We need reinforcements but they're not gonna come outta nowhere.Honestly I think about it alot and I just can't come up with an answer.

TollhouseFrank · Jun 14, 2005

Right now, we have to huddle and survive this summer storm. Come mid fall when temps are conducive to OC's and lots of kids find the Forums again, that's when our big recruiting drives should start.

dwschoon · Jun 14, 2005

I just started folding for team 32. I dont have the most powerful comps, but im up to 1028 pts. Is there anything special that i need to join? I just searched for my username on the folding site and it wasnt used, so i started folding under it. i never actually joined anything.

here are my stats, but it doesnt list a joined date

HELLO!!!

Welcome to the Forum AND the FOLD!!!

could you tell us why/what started you FOLDing?
and how we could have gotten you to start sooner

as you can see, we are in need of new blood...oops...new members and any input (as a NEW FOLDer) could/would help us.

thanks

edit: i think we need our web sight to get hits!! then we can use it to get sponsors...something like: free ad on our sight for a month for every $50 item (that we use as contest give-away stuff) just off the top of my head... i know Plycon is a web store that has stuff WE (as OCers) use/buy and ive never seen an add around here for them...xoxide...there are TONS of places...HERE is a page that lists almost all the places i use

I think the adopt a rig needs to be pushed harder that is an excellent way to get people folding. just like 'need a PC to do school work on? If you leave it on 24/7 folding you can get one for free [over here]" Since thats basically how it is I just feel we need to get the word out on it more. Heck if there is someone that lives near me I could proly put a rig together for very little cost if not free as long as FAH is on it (for team 32, doesn't have to be under my name but would be nice

)

Ive often noticed that when it comes to 'donations' people are more willing to gives parts than cash, since everyone has a spare part lying around ya know?

btw, dell currently has a deal for a dimension 2400 Celly 2.4 for 200bucks limit of 5. Come swith XP home, 80gig HDD, no monitor and 256MB ram

Thats really cool. Ive only checked my stats before on the actual folding site. So i guess that means i dont have to register anywhere else. As far as where i heard about folding, I have been an avid overclocker for years, and i stumbled upon the forum about 2 months ago when i was researching some comp parts. I read about folding a couple of weeks ago and thought it was really cool, so I started doing it. I want to setup a farm because i have enough parts to make 3 or 4 older rigs(400-1000mhz), so im going to try to get them up and running soon. I only worry about network access. I am folding only at work right now(for which i have gotten permission) and i dont have internet at home. My boss thinks the folding is really cool, but wont do it because he uses a laptop and the vice president of the firm killed 3 laptop hard drives running seti.

I saw a similar deal on cheap.typead.com where you can get 2 dells for $400.

ya, same deal its from slickdeals. the 2 for 400 is because if you order two or more you qaulify for free shipping so its a flat 200 each for 2 or more.
