TPU's Winter's End WCG Challenge (2/26 thru 3/6/2015)- join us to crunch/fold/win stuff

XZero450 · Mar 8, 2015

I'm around, just more of a lurker. Work and school are consuming any and all time.

Once I get through my finals I will have an i5 and another i7 crunching.

Added you to the list- Thanks!

@theonedub - [Ion] has been inactive on the forum for the duration of the challenge. Active on the Forum is one of the elligibility requirements for a prize...

I believe you are ok. Those that ate good on all aspects weren't on the list. Just those that there was some issue with eligibility made the list.

UPDATE- prize drawing info

I'm going to have to postpone the drawing until tomorrow night Team.... going through the list of names has proven to be a bit of a challenge all by itself

In the meantime, please have a look at the list below of those Team members that have qualified on points but there is an issue with TPU member name, activity on forum, or location:

If you know these folks please contact them to post or contact me- Thanks!

Also, we have included the following members of the folding Team in the drawing(s):
@Ahhzz
@theoneandonlymrk
@Steevo
@LaytonJnr

They did not crunch but did fold for the duration of the challenge, which makes them elligible

Just want to make sure all elligible members are included- Thanks in advance for your patience!

Mighty nice of you!!! Appreciate it

madness777 · Mar 8, 2015

I am using the forum quite frequently for looking up opinions on hardware and planing on continuing with my crunching. But i am not seeing me posting much in future.
Therefore iam totally ok with not having qualified.
