I believe it was the success of the program ATITools and other software made by the founder of the forum that pushed the number, and now seems to be pushing the envelope.


I was the number one producer as well as the the number one spot. I hit a bit over 900K and had some issues with how the forum was being run, and moderated. So I gave them a choice, change or I will leave.


I am now here. This forum seems to be changing, for the better or worse, I do not know. But it seems to be falling away from what it started as, and away from what it's goals were.

OSNN.


They had mods that thought they were gods. A few of us opened threads and had a bit of fun, and they were closed, when a mod opened a drunken posting thread, it was kept open.



I gave them a choice, reopen our thread, and let us have our fun, or I would leave.


I am here. They have asked me to come back, and unfortunately, my memory is long.


I believe that one of my other homes lost it members as the other mods there (I was one too) thought it was their god given right to close any thread they didn't liek, not understanding it was the fire and fuel of the forum. It died. I co-admin a few other sites, and we have had small success due to the lack of disk space, and want on others parts.

this forum is slowly sliding downhill, but that is expected as more and more users join, and those who are highly knowledgable grow tried of repeditive answers when the exact same thread has been started 4 times before.


back on topic, i wish i could get my school network folding under my name...400 or so p4 2ghz and 16 quad xeon servers...

Excellent. Can you update the stats on the first page? I don't have permission on this forum and it would be nice to see our progress on the first page of the thread again.

Do I need to free up a certain port on my router? I can't see info on that in the FAQ on the Stanford F@H site

I would download the newest version, I think the X1650 supports GUI, I use the 5.91 beta, you just run the program dont need to install it, I dont think your router will be stopping it as mine doesnt give me any grief!

There ya go, stats on the first page have been updated.

Has anyone got onto the lambda 5way melt protein yet? It seems to heat the cpu up a lot more than the old supervillin one.

Err, I'm not sure why yr mentioning my gfx card as I was using the 5.03 GUI version which works the cpu!
I've tried freeing up port 8080 in router and also editing values in the cfg file (asknet=yes/ no, active=yes/ no) but I still get no work as I can't connect to the server

Any other ideas besides kicking my router up and down the street?

Wait until the server you are assigned to gets more work. It happens occasionally that the servers run out of WU's for a day or so. Only be worried if you cannot SEND a WU.
