I'm dishartened, disillusioned and confused ...
![]() F@H has ripped the heart out of 'crunching' for me and a few of my friends ... and I cannot continue to support it ... this decision was not taken lightly on my behalf and I would therefore like to relinquish my Captaincy of "The PC Review Crew" team. Anybody wishing to take up this post is more than welcome to PM me ... I will hand over the details for the team's site at F@H. I'm going to have a look at World Community Grid which is a "non-profit" funded by IBM ... they do cater for human diseases such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, SARS, and malaria. So I'll still be using my PC for the same cause. If anybody wishes to join me on this NEW venture, then I will gladly set-up a New Team ... with Ian's permission I would also like to use the PCReview name in the team. Sincere apologies to one and all ![]() mucks

To be honest, I'll crunch for whoever makes the biggest difference. If WCG is better, I'll switch to them as its no hassle. Is this IBM project quite similar, and does it have ranking etc...?
Of course you can use PCReview in the team name Mucks ![]()

I think it would be better if we let Mucks go and have a look first before we all jump ship again - otherwise if its no good either, we will all have to keep jumping from one to another...

Nothing we can really do about Find-a-Drug, as it is closing, it was good fun too ... if it starts back up, I'll be first one in the queue. I'm not twisting anybodies arm here to "swap" to a new place ... F@H has a track record that seems to work, I "personally" just ain't happy with them. ![]() No reason we can't have both ... and I would not hesitate in giving Adywebb the keys for F@H. Heck, if you guys want me to, I can still plug up all the stats anyway ... no problem. ![]()

Sorry Mucks,
Guess I have missed out on something here - what's happened? As regards moving, I'm happy to go with the flow. We seem to have a reasonable amount of crunching power between us, as I feel it would be nice for us all to stick together. Its good to be able to have a bit of happy competition between ourselves Cheers

I have never encountered such a smug, pompous, snobbish, miserable bunch of sourpusses as I have at the F@H Forum.
I usually manage to get on with most peeps at most forums but I actually managed to get myself banned from that place. Which I'm almost kinda proud of ![]() As some of you know, for the last four years I've been crunching with my team mates on my other forum and several of us came in for some pettiness from the F@H mods. Friends of ours, PCQ & A, good spirited rivals, have also come in for some flak and I believe they're jumping ship as well. Needless to say, all team members at my other place, BBT, have now quit F@H. F@H's attitude has cost them some considerable firepower, the fools. So, just to set the record straight, before you all stumble across the BBT recruitment thread at F@H ![]()

It does seem like F@H has wound a good few ex-FAD teams up - they don't seem to be doing themselves any favours!

Thank you Floppy ...
Most of you know, or should know, I to am a member of BBT & PCQ&A and have been for some considerable years ... and their contributions to "crunching" is not in question. Hey, I ain't no angle, you all know me and I can be as blunt and dry with the best, but the 'Mods' at F@H have an attitude to a "community" that I have never come across before on a forum, I have seen it from members, but not from Mods. I know when to appolgise. Nope, I ain't happy and nor too are a lot of people, so the only way I know how to voice an expression to them is to move my PC to another cause. I have done just that. You are all free to make of this as you will ... again I say, I am not trying to sway you one way or another ... the choice is yours. mucks ![]()

I dont like the attitude of them over there one little bit.
I expressed my opinion of them before and to me this is 'the beginning of the end' of F@H for me.folding-community.org/ - Not really an accurate description is it...... ![]() Bruce Bruce, that blokes funny!! I enjoyed reading his comments especially when involved with Macaholic! ![]() I've looked into the other projects and tbh none of them seem anywhere near as good as FaD, but again is not gonna be around for much longer. F@H has killed my enthusiasm for anything DC related i'm afraid, I may not be in the new team to be honest. But dont count me out, may well have a change of heart later on down the line. Let me know how the new project shapes up and i might reconsider. ![]() |
