After i get another card(i hit 1 million in about a month or so) im folding for CF since you can only get stuff once you hit 1M points hehe. Actually i was folding for CF for quite awhile until evga started giving out evga bucks, plus all those nice giveaways. Plus the whole point of folding is benefiting the greater good.

Lol, do you want me to "Pledge allegiance to the ComputerForum.com and for all that it stands for"?
(Well, i guess i would if i ever become a mod, but other than that...hehe) Plus i know a couple of the staff over at EVGA and waste alot of time in the chat over there hehe.(In a few days evga is gonna be hitting 7th, and then about 3 days after that gonna hit 6th)

You missed the point, it's not about teams, any contribution is good, folding for your own gain is a little twisted, you do know what folding is trying to achieve, yes?Lol, do you want me to "Pledge allegiance to the ComputerForum.com and for all that it stands for"?

Yup, it's very frustrating.
Not completely. I've very quietly done 62,000+ points in the last month. I just let the compy run while I'm at work and when I come home: a couple thousand more points, did my duty for mankind, and my room is nice and toasty.
I wonder if folding saves me money. If I didn't fold I would need a space heater....

Your not getting what im saying here, ive been folding long before there was benefit for it(was folding for my own team for years) to me. Reason i started folding for evga is that you get a little bit of reward for doing some good. And yes i do know what it is trying to achieve, trying to understand what happens with proteins misfold, ive been folding ever since my dad got thyroid cancer 4 years ago(which thankfully was caught early and hadnt metastasized).

Ah...bomberboysk...you might come back to the team. About time, we need you. Our team average is slipping. I think people are loosing interest if you look at the stats.
I think we should organize some kind of Fold-a-Thon with maybe a few small prizes. Maybe I'll talk to Buzz about it and get something going.

I dropped down to only my server folding, but if we had a fold a thon, for a month long, and then prizes (like, custom user title hint hint) went out to the most WU, I would turn on 10 more machines!
Not to make me sound like a greedy or anything, but electricity is expensive!
First person to 2,000,000 PPD gets a date with Archangel!
I win.
That's a good idea. I've always wanted to have some type of F@H related competition. Jet organized something similar a couple years ago.

I think I might research a few ideas. I have a few things I will give away as prizes. I have a nice MERC stealth keyboard I will donate.
I would not want to have the highest points win...that would not be fair for people who don't have the hardware others do.
I think as long as you participate...you will be put in for the give away prizes.
The only issue is...you live in Cali mep
I only live a few hours south I can leave after work and still pick her up just in time for dinner. I'll let you know all about it.

Thats very true. So long as you fold, 100(something small everyone can accomplish) points in a month, you get entered in the drawing...eh eh?

We did good last month. It would be nice if we could get around 1,000,000 a month for the team.
I don't like the direction of that graph. I'm going to see about getting my girlfriends computer folding. 6000+ and a 9600GT would be a nice folding machine.
