OCN's first monthly 48-hour Fold-A-Thon - Overclock.net

*Valicious* · 05-19-09

Next Foldathon is June 23rd-25th (Tues-Thurs). New Foldathon page incoming....

Why
Since many of us can't afford the electricity bills that come with folding 24/7, this is a designated time when everyone can fold and make their contributions felt in a big way.

When
Starting May 26th (Tuesday) at 12pm CST and continuing until May 28th (Thursday) at 12pm CST.
(That's 1pm EST, 11am MST, 10am PST, 6pm GMT

)
*NEW* Countdown Timer

Prizes *NEW*
Winners will be drawn at random from all those who post in the sigh up thread here. Even if you complete just one work unit, you'll still be entered to win. Each item on the list represents one drawing for one winner.

Here's the way it works. I'm going to use the random integer generator (www.random.org) to pick a number between 1 and 152 (the number signed up on the sign up thread). The winner for a given prize is that number on the list.

*prize list*
$60 via paypal
$40 via paypal
$25 via paypal
an annual overclocked account
an annual overclocked account
an annual overclocked account
Two Panaflo fans ~88cfm

*NEW* Mystery prize- I'll just say, it has a window

If we reach 7 million over the course of the entire 48 hours, I'll add a PNY 8800GT as a prize too. I'll even toss in a dummy plug too.

admin has generously donated $125 and three annual overclocked accounts to be split up as prizes. (which have been included above) You rock admin!

AAANNNND.....in light of the obstacles we've all been encountering leading up to and during this month's Foldathon, I'm lowering the amount we must reach for the 8800GT giveaway to 7 million

Fold on mah brothas and sistas!

The only reason it wasn't kept up was it was supposed to be taken care of my mods.

That is why i never hosted one again. As i have mentioned a bunch of times.

I hope you didn't take my comment as a shot at you, that was not my intention. You did an outstanding job with the first one. I just meant that I am glad that it is actually in the works now, irregardless of who is organizing it.

Fold on!
