Mass Asslamination starting to have desired effect...

[DanC]

We had one of our best showings in a long time yesterday for active members!
What Dennil and crew are doing is EXACTLY what I've been talking about.

Could we have some WOOOO Mooos for that effort?

Other ideas that come to mind:
ICQ
ChatRooms that have hardware geeks
Statisticians discussion groups? - I bet they'd love the STATS!

 

[TwoFace]

WHOOOOOOOOMOOOOOOOOOO


(like that one Dan? )

GO dennil and Adul GO!

With love and respect your fellow TA member

[Edit]forgot about Adul SORRY Adul![/Edit]

 

[mechBgon]

WooooooMooooo!! Why do visions of runaway nuclear processes suddenly come to mind?! : D

 

[DanC]

... cause that's exactly what we're after!!! :Q

 

[RaySun2Be]

WooooOOOOooooOOOOooooMooooOOOOooooOOOOoooo!
{picture an old geezer holding his cane like a big stirring stick and doing the "Stir the Pot Dance" )

How's that?

Keep up the great job, I'm in awe! :Q

Oh, BTW, I assimilated a friend, (non-technical) on Sunday, after getting his P133 up and running. I've also put in to volunteer to help with software/hardware support at our church, and he's the misuc director and will put in a good word for me. (I've fixed stuff for him no one else could figure out ) So there may be some potential there.

Nothing on par with Adul and Dennilfloss, but every bit helps, no?

 

[optoman]

The drive to the top is becoming more exciting because of you guys.

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



How's that?

Congrats guys.

 

[JHutch]

The number of participants would be much greater (probably by over 100 or so) if the mini-teams didn't exist (I'm NOT saying I want that to happen, just stating it).

 

[DanC]

I beg to differ...
Without the "mini-teams" - it would be just business as usual... We've gained almost 100 participants since the mini-team outbreak.

Shoot... 75 of those are from Dennilfloss alone.
The numbers are a little skewed of course because many are within one e-mail account. Bottom line is that many are not - and that's what's showing in the daily participant figures.

mini-teams or not - TA is beginning to show signs of life - and that's a good thing.

BK- Based on what information? I find the comment intiguing but without any facts or reasoning to go with it, it is difficult to support.

Osmo.

[Edit]
DanC- If "back to life" is the direct result of Dennilfloss spamming forum members, It's hard to agree that things are better here. While I already am fully aware that you choose to measure success by crackrate alone, that is not the case for all of TA.

[Edit2]
BK- If RC's interpretation is correct, than it is really easy to support!

[RC]

If BK simply means the number of participants based on unique email accounts then that would certainly be true.

 

[dennilfloss]

Strictly speaking, I object to my effort being labeled spamming because the message is not sent en masse. That essential characteristic is one that my action does not share with spamming. I send my message one at a time and try to check for lack of evidence that this person is already doing distributed computing. I adapt the message I composed to each request and read it it all each and every time. I personally follow through with all replies and help people getting started, generally step-by-step, answering their questions to the best of my knowledge or pointing them to resources that might help. Throughout all this process, I am never pushy, always polite and positive, no matter what the response. I thing that the vast majority of positive responses I've gotten so far indicates that most of the people I approached did not feel 'spammed'. A first-time invitation is generally unrequested (unless one does insider trading ).

However, if being called a spammer by a few individuals is the price that I must pay to help Team Anandtech, then I will bear with it gladly. The good of Team Anandtech and the good of Anandtech as a whole are all that matters.

Cheers to all

Denis

NONONONONONO! You guys have me all wrong! I'm refering to the number of different email addresses being submitted

Of COURSE we're up a massive number of members! I think dennilfloss alone has increased our userbase by what, 30? 40? More? Oh, 75 Just read the rest of your statement

I was NOT implying ANYTHING else!

That'll teach me to post on no sleep I hate being unclear about what I mean.

 

[dennilfloss]

I too hate being nuclear about what I mean.

Geez... I can't believe you'd say something stupid like that.

[dennilfloss]

In my case it's not a Mass Asslamination, it's an Incremental Asslamination. I laminate one at a time.

 

[Assimilator1]

Well congrats TA RC5 ,its nice to see some good news from your end

And to the killjoys of this thread

 

[Adul]

[MWalkden]
