We need new Folders. Ideas?

Fred_G · 09-May-08, 11:05 PM

If you look at the stats page, we are falling behind. I am fixing to step things up a notch or 2 in the next month. Any ideas on getting more folks folding? We are really looking bad.

I tried talking with some of the guys I work with. They are feeling the pinch with the economy and are doing everything they can to save cash. They didn't really want to hear about running their computers 24/7. It's unfortunately a hard sell to people who are not active computer users. They only want to see the down side of it costing them money to participate by increasing their electric bill.

I had even considered taking it to my companies IT department. They are super strict though and I have a feeling I wouldn't get past the front door to the IT offices with a folding plan.

I understand the average person is not going to bust out and build a farm. And companies are wanting to cut costs. But, there are a lot of people on the forums here that don't fold. If you only have your computer on for 8 hours a day, you could fold the WUs with no deadlines.

Stats page shows that we only have 69 active folders. I am just looking for ideas on how to get more people to crank out 100 or 200 PPD.
