I'm curious, why did you change the dates?
 
#4 ·
Yeah, though, don't bother me. Just need to get this FFW rocking.

I know sure well there more folders than this.
 
#5 ·
There's yet to be an agreed date.

February however feels right and gives time to actually drum up interest. The lack of posts on this is disappointing however, seems no one is actually interested.
 
#6 ·
Might want to check with @axipher since he may have already programmed the stats site to run FFW instead of the foldathon this month.
 
#7 ·
I've also shot axipher a PM last night asking if he's still willing to do a team captain and thread change (since Intel currently doesn't have a valid captain or thread). I haven't gotten a response yet though.

Okay everyone, I need to know which teams will be competing this year. That means I need to know who will be a Captain for any team that is going to compete and they will need an updated team thread, feel free to use last years threads as a template, or send me a PM if you want me to copy last years thread to a new one for this year.

Whatever teams have Captains by this Sunday January 10th as 12 PM EST will be considered active for the FFW and the rest will get turned off.

As far as I know, the February 1st - 8th in the thread title is the updated period for the FFW.

As I said in a PM to axipher, I'll create a thread for Intel.

I'm just leaving this here so you all know.

I don't know, I haven't been following this thread or the poll thread. I just see what's in the title which was put there at some point by someone.

Axipher, I'm not trying to rush you, but can you give me an idea of when you can copy the old thread? I'm assuming you had some kind of reason why you haven't done it so far (at least that I know of), but it would be useful for me to know when to look again.

I'm going to go offline for the night soon, so if I'm offline before you can respond then I'll see it in the morning.

Why fold for a bunch of losers if you can fold for Intel?

Everybody knows Intel is the best.
