Macaholic said:Congrats garynator! Good question THF? You saw that Adak is running with that faux simian troup as well, didn't you?! He's flinging poo I say! Flinging poo!
Adak said:No poo here. Just posting some congrats, well earned.
I fold for MaxPC, but you know how it is when you change team - you need every point you can fold, to climb back up the ranks again.
I'm surprised at how well the monkey's for both teams have stepped up for the Great Chimp Challenge. Sure exceeded my expectations!

(at least you're foldin' )
Adak said:Actually, I've been folding for a while. I stopped folding in 2002, due to computer problems. (I wasn't on a team and had a different handle.)
In those days, you got about 1-3 points, yes a BIG TWO points on average, for a WU!!
Why'd I leave T32? Rather odd sequence of unfortunate events, I guess. I didn't fully understand what happened at the time, because the board here supports "silent" editing.
Basically, soundfx4 (aka Twit), posted I should "shut the F*CK up", which I didn't reply to, thinking the mods or teammates would sort it out right.
That didn't happen. Twit had edited the post before most/anybody else saw it, but I didn't know that he had edited it. I just knew nothing was done to correct it in the follow-ups.
After a few days, no support from anyone, I figured it was time to mosey on. I still didn't know he had edited his post down to something more decent.
Not coincidentally, everything about the t32 began to bug me: the emphasis on every other DC project*, the way noobs are pretty much ignored and disappear like ghosts by the score. I even found the black background of the forum, bleak.
Finally went back and re-read Twit's post and saw the editing - but I was already folding for 11108 by then.

* What the SETI folks didn't think of: The first spacecraft from another world arrives, and we're still looking for a cure for cancer, etc., from these advanced beings.
Unfortunately, the bacteria / virus they brought with them destroy all human life, because we had no resistance to their microbes.
Message to the Resistance - D-Day is imminent:
