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?
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)
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
RW Nice to see you.
(For those that don't know, IIRC RW used to be the king of resurrecting old hardware. I'm sure he had a few K6-2s folding for Yatta back in the day)
*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
Cheers People,
