Countdown to start

  1. The Lanyards
  2. Team BOINC

I think BBQ is going to sit out this FFW.

But I did that last year and @lanofsong has probably sent out a couple hundred PM's for BBQ by now.

And of course the Lanyards will fail for sure because they gave away the Magical Lanyard in the last FFW.

I'd say we could give it a try regardless. A lot of people jumped teams during the last FFW.

I'll get the new Intel thread up as soon as I can, which should be tomorrow.

I also tried recruiting some of our fellow folders over at TPU for Team BBQ - but to no avail

Check out #5 and #11. I think it helps if you are high on the TPU list.

The AMD Green Dragons again this year? I folded with them back in 2011 and 2012. A couple of us using multiple i7 2600k's ran out of bigadv Wu's and had to settle for smp in 2011.

I'm trying to create a new thread for Intel, but I can't seem to figure out how to get the rich editor. How should I copy the first post to a new thread?

Thanks for the help. The Intel thread is up, sending PM now.

We don't even have teams confirmed... Let me go disable the teams right now so people can't sign-up.

I added a note in the Intel thread so people will not try to sign up yet.

I'd hold off for the time being. More teams are bound to surface within the next couple weeks

I have decided to not do any recruiting for the FFW until @DarthBaggins sets up the team page for Second Hands Hounds 2017 thread and people are allowed to join. It is still 3 over three months away from the start date.

I hope that team SHH will be good when the time comes.

Any particular reason it's being pushed two months later than it used to be?

Because we already had a FFW in February of this year. The FFW used to be in November and was later switched to December. It was supposed to be held in December 2015 but the person in charge of getting it done didn't get it done and instead made a thread with a poll about when it should be held.

BTW I voted for December.

Just because something was late once doesn't mean you have to push the timetable back even further..... ....But that's just my opinion. ^_^
 
This is an older thread, you may not receive a response, and could be reviving an old thread. Please consider creating a new thread.
