Due to the Hardware Canucks Chimp Challenge, I will not be folding for a few weeks here at Legit Reviews. Gotta represent the Canadians!
In order to make up for it, once the Chimp Challenge ends, I will have all my machines dedicated to folding at Legit Reviews for probably 2 to 3 weeks.

The prizes don't look as good as the ones on Legit Reviews. Folding is good, no matter where you do it.

Looks decent. I won't change my username just for a contest though ;)
have fun - looks like the contest should only be at most 20 days once they start since they are already doing close to 900K per day!

Thanks guys.
Yea they're folding now so they can get the bonus and everything setup so once the Chimp Challenge starts, we can go at full throttle.

geokilla, I remember you from my days at Hardware Cannucks.

Really? I don't remember you till I found you over there via the member search function. Why'd you leave the community?hertz9753 wrote:geokilla, I remember you from my days at Hardware Cannucks.

I hope they aren't promoting going around and getting people from other teams to join... That just doesn't sit well in my books... Guess the next folding war I do I'll go to their website forums, and ask their members to join our team.
Re: Will Not Fold On May 5th For A Couple Weeks
I'm only asking Legit Reviews members here to see if anyone's interested in helping out. The rules don't say that you can't ask people around, and I asked the people there before I asked here. Plus some people over at NCIX are helping us out as well, though they might be doing it just for the contest that's being heldApoptosis wrote:I hope they aren't promoting going around and getting people from other teams to join...

Besides, how else do you think EVGA got their 20 million points in I believe 4 days. People ask friends, etc for folding help. Similar to asking the forum here to help.

Re: Will Not Fold On May 5th For A Couple Weeks
People are free to do what they like with their PCs. Why do you feel threatened by the possibility that some people might want to fold for another cause for a short time? If you wanted to post at Hardware Canucks asking members to fold for your team during a folding competition, I doubt the mods there would prevent you from doing so, though perhaps not many people would be willing to join. In any case, this has nothing to do with harming the Legit Reviews F@H team in any way. After all, the true purpose of folding is for medical research, not for points or rivalry between teams. This is just a friendly competition, and if anyone would be willing to help out the Hardware Canucks team for a little while, they would appreciate that very much. They aren't trying to poach members from your team; they're just asking for a bit of help.Apoptosis wrote:I hope they aren't promoting going around and getting people from other teams to join...

Re: Will Not Fold On May 5th For A Couple Weeks
So I've spent the past 5 years trying to get more team members for LR and you are telling me that it's okay to come to another site and ask to borrow members? It's just not right in my books and I've asked Mike the owner of HC to check into this.

His (Michael Hoenig) response:
The Folding Team captains as well as myself have stated numerous times that if a particular forum already has a folding team that the member expressly ask an Admin or Moderator on the site in question before posting anything. We have mentioned this many times in this thread:

Honestly, I apologize if you thought we were actively trying to recruit members through what seem to be underhanded tactics
