I feel a bit confused (it's early in the morning here). I see a near 800 million and not "nearly 800 billion", but perchance I am not sufficiently awake.

I can't type apparently

Still damn fine :toast:

Chicken Patty · Mar 4, 2013

Indeed!

[Ion] · Mar 5, 2013

And we've soared through the eight hundred million mark :toast:

And more natural beauty--Chelyabinsk, Russia:

Chicken Patty · Mar 5, 2013

Thanks both of you! :toast:

I think they make sheer numbers more exciting--so I throw them in

Probably not, but we'll get damn close, and I'm still really excited. TPU FTW! :toast:

[Ion] · Mar 6, 2013

Great work once again :toast:

Lachenspitze, Austrian Alps:

Norton · Mar 6, 2013

Great job Team! :toast:

The 2nd and 3rd spots look like a bit of a battle between Team Anandtech and Ukraine

Chicken Patty · Mar 6, 2013

that should be a good fight

[Ion] · Mar 7, 2013

Two days left and we have it in the bag :toast:

Ice Caves, Kamchatka, Russia:

Chicken Patty · Mar 7, 2013

Looks like TeAm AnandTech has pretty much secured 2nd place.

[Ion] · Mar 7, 2013

Indeed, but we did have a good battle there between them and Ukraine :toast:

I do always like some friendly competition

[Ion] · Mar 8, 2013

One day left and we've done over 900m! :toast:

A goldendoodle puppy to brighten your evening

HammerON · Mar 8, 2013

Great job team :toast:

Chicken Patty · Mar 8, 2013

We totally kicked ass! :rockout:

Bow · Mar 8, 2013

Let's go again..lol

NHKS · Mar 9, 2013

so close to a billion (could have done it if we had 3 more days)!

nevertheless, it takes nothing away from the fact that all of you guys did a great job! a fantastic achievement for the team, no doubt!

[Ion] · Mar 9, 2013

What is this--we've won? :eek:

Great work everyone--I'm very impressed!

Peter1986C · Mar 9, 2013

Are the other teams that much smaller? Or did AnandTech do little GPU work (must be folks in the green camp, mostly)? I expected Anand to be closer to us because they allegedly are being a big tech site too.

As a hardware enthusiast site, we have a bunch of members with high-end GPUs. I'm not really sure why Anandtech didn't do better--I'd expect them to be in a similar boat. Maybe it's that they also focus on other DC projects? Since we just do FAH and WCG (mostly)

Peter1986C · Mar 9, 2013

Yeah, probably that is it.

Chicken Patty · Mar 11, 2013

Great job everyone, stellar performance! :rockout:
