Folding Forum

Seriously, the mere fact that any Bigadv Folders (including those that have stopped Folding) are even still talking to PG is kind of odd at this 47 page point. There is nothing new and I'm sure that you already know that the donors can't be the originators of any news. I still check-in to see if pos...

I find this whole "it was always an experiment" line of defense disturbing every time someone floats it. It is also often parroted by people that have zero "skin in the game". It is a very weak way to hide behind a statement while ignoring the fact that important details/informat...

Hafta say that I was hoping for a different outcome for Bigadv than to see the project end in just over a year. I'd hoped that we could have some good working dialogue with PG and work-through the challenges that were shared in this thread. If we wore Dr. Pande down or otherwise brought them to a po...

What I seem to think is that PG already knows more than you seem to give them credit. Then how about allowing PG to speak for themselves? We've all heard from you many times and pretty well know your position on these issues. Now people want to hear direct from PG. Unless I've missed something, it ...

Just an observation and a thought I'd like to share with Dr. Pande. If we really do want to "take the broader look at things", people are not really trying to "cherry-pick" data about a decline in FAH participation. If you broaden out, what is really happening is that they don't ...

I'm out as well, all Servers are totally dedicated to World Community Grid. It is not a short term move while waiting for PG to speak or a strike. As a donor/enthusiast, the things raised in this book of issues (and all the times past) are not trivial, and they do affect donor satisfaction supportin...

Well said Troy. I hope that the leadership of PG can take what you have said to find some new and positive ways to move forward. I'm no mathematician, but you words and examples rang-true for me (having Folded Bigadv and SMP for several years). I think information like yours and your objectivity can...

I'm actually right there with ya mdk and have had your same perspective for years. I had just a glimpse of hope (from the way Dr. Pande engaged us the other day) that maybe, just maybe, they were "opening the kimono" and would let us have some dialogue. I was hoping that just maybe, they w...

well, good point, but no response since your post on the 20th indicates that PG is not interested in a direct dialog(prompt anyway). Just an observation, not speaking for PG. :lol: Your response is what I'm talking about. Just because we have not heard back from Dr. Pande or anyone else at PG since...

They prefer to remain focused on their own work, which they have plenty of. That's why they will be hiring someone to handle donor communications/affairs, for them. They will enter the conversation when things have calmed down, and they know what they want to say to the obvious questions they will ...

We can talk all day and forever about what "we think" should happen. But, until there is solid dialog with PG about the actual Bigadv changes, we're basically arguing point/counterpoint amongst ourselves. That may be therapeutic in a way, but it would be much more useful to actually have ...

I've come to the conclusion that Folding and Computer Enthusiasts are a just a bad marriage. The Computer Enthusiasts (most Folders who are invested and care about this topic) have expectations that PG simply do not seem to understand. To tell these Enthusiasts that "you must be aware of the ri...

Now that we are actually hearing from people at PG (Vijay and others), I feel that I can offer my thoughts in an environment where it may be heard. Dr. Pande, I very much appreciated that you stepped-in and are speaking to us about this subject. I feel that many Folders (that are willing to invest i...

Since October 2012 my 4p Machine is running now. It is only running for F@H and was untouched for weeks. I really don´t know what I should check in my local network settings, or how turn off my Firewall. I´m a Linux-Dau. The problems came with the first 8103. I didn't know what OS you were running ...
