Sorry. I would have done at the time you see but a lack of email address for the relevant don prevented me doing so.

I assume by that you mean me. It's in my signature and in my trust. Always has been. Always will be. It's a nice easy one to remember too.

Was another Don.

I wasn't sure if he meant Rotty to do the poll, or me because I'm the Don in residence around here (when the French aren't invading.

)

That is, of course, unless you are trying to get banned for a week or two. :rolleyes:

Hehe.

I'd support a one-off thread in GH.

Hey guys

Back from two days of no crunching and for pretty much nothing

Max stable [so far] OC I have got is 2365MHz. Which is pants considering I was already on 2300MHz when I started!

When the RAM is set really low I can get 2640MHz - but not sure I could live with that knowing my RAM was at something silly like 150MHz. Looks like a weak IMC at the moment.

Have posted in O&C so gonna see if I have missed anything. If not then I am really dissapointed in my 4400+

Ah, you're right having caught up with the thread (stupid me for diving in head first - which I don't usually do

). He did mean Don Rotty. Incidentally, his email address is public, but maybe not so obvious where to find it.

Anyway, I'm OK with having a GH thread (thought it was going to be GD again - diving in). I'm just very careful about letting too many get out of here because there would be a backlash.

Right now Yonah's probably best for PPD but its expensive..

Clock for clock, yes, possibly. I've got a 1.66GHz T2300 in the current folding competition. It's holding it's own, but not the outright fastest speed demon (that's held by a dual CPU beast (which obviously doesn't figure in this calculation), followed by an X2 I believe).

FSB\shared cache holding it back?

I posted a separate thread the other day asking why we can't make our own polls and it was locked by rotty. I did post this because i was thinking about the idea of doing a folding poll.
I wanted to question rotty because i take having one of my threads locked very seriously and i feel it was rather heavy handed, however he doesn't have an email address and appears to be uncontactable.

This left me feeling a bit raw which caused me to bring it up in passing in here.

I might also add that i think the locking of this thread was heavy handed and unnecessary, same goes for this one. I don't believe its against the rules to suggest forum improvements so these threads ought to be left open for discussion. Perhaps this could be brought up in the dons room?

Anyway, at the very least as he's now a don Rotty needs an email address.

Indy500 · 25 Jun 2006 at 00:03

Its in his trust (bit obscure, but it is there).

As for forum suggestions, best to email Dons or the address in the FAQ.

Yeah, Dons don't like you spreading good ideas about all willy-nilly

Joking of course

It's standard procedure. We don't discuss moderating decisions on the forums (and as such I should remove your posts, but I won't), and we lock threads asking why this or that feature isn't available because once the question is answered, there really isn't a lot more to say besides random spam/IBTL/whatever posts. In otherwords, there's no vendetta or conspiracy to 'get' you.

Anyway, I would appreciate it if we could please get this thread back on topic. Since these threads stay around a while, I will be performing housekeeping on it at some point, for the reasons stated above.

Team Linux has been stomped and no one told me :eek:

Apologies. Perhaps you could ask rotty to put his email in his sig or something so i can contact him next time rather than posting in here.

Is it ok to post the next folding gd thread, the folding poll today?
Or is it too soon after the last gd thread.
Should i wait a few days or do it next week?

We have indeed regained our 48th place and our production is looking good too. Be aware that the active users has been artificially inflated a bit by the folding competition, however i think its still rising.

Post it in GH.

Its the folding poll. Not really suitable for gh.
I can do a gh thread along the lines of my sig and leave the poll for another time if you like, but i'll have to go and write it. The poll is just about ready.

The gh thread is going to require some thought to prevent it being spam.

Posting 2 F@H threads within a week of each other in GD is more likely to viewed as spam...

Ok. I'll leave the poll for a week or two then and see about writing a gh thread.

A.N.Other · 25 Jun 2006 at 14:02

That sounds like a better idea to me. The problem with the other GD thread is that it keeps on getting resurrected. If you want to find it and close it, that would be useful, as you can't do another before the other one has been properly forgotten.

I think we'll give it until next week, that thread hasn't been on the front page for a while so i think its just about finished.

I'm thinking the best way to do a gh thread might be to do a race exactly like Berserkers Cruncher Slug out.
