Folding@Home Weekly Team News - 15th June 2006

He's founded and heads another team, but his contribution here is enough to make up for that i think ;)

I'll change the font then. I used it because i think it looks nice and friendly but we can't have people getting sore eyes over it.

I'm just folding for the team I founded just about a year ago. We stomped OcUK about four months ago and are currently in 33rd place. :p

Why don't we merge both the teams :D
It will stop the OCUK performance problem and your team will gain some extra points to :cool:

We may even get some new forum members :)
 
Can't really merge teams. Wouldn't work anyway.

We have plenty of our own members and i'm confident that this team will stomp hack a day in the future ;)

I've nuked the comic sans and i think it looks absolutely terrible. :eek:

By merging i mean getting there members to sign up to team 10 :D
 
You need not use the default font if you don't want to. How about Segoe, the new system font for Windows Vista which replaces Arial?

EDIT: It looks like the forum doesn't support that one.

I dunno. I like the default fonts.

They would say 'no, you sign up to ours' and that would be the end of that ;)

Its easier to get people in the gd to join up i think.

I put it back to comic sans. It just doesn't look right in anything else. Its supposed to look friendly and easy to read but if you think its a problem i can put it back to the default. I find it looks more managable in comic sans but in the default it looks like an overwhelming large block of text.

Thats a point. never thought of doing a gh one.

The next one will be the poll with the folding myths, and i think that one would be more suited to the gd. I or someone else can devise one for the gh if you like...

Absolutely.
It was suggested that the poll should be posted immediately, and i said no because people will get sick of hearing about it. I intend to leave a good gap between each one and they won't happen at regular intervals, but only when they are needed.

Edit: avatar change. ;)

I think the wait between each pimp thread is a good idea :)
They lose impact if they come up to often.
Think this one was a good sucess quite a few new members compared to normal.

Might also be interesting/worth bringing up folding in #overclockers-uk.
Could ask if people reckon they've got a good PC and dare people that don't fold to have drag races to see if they can out-process some of us :D

edit: oh and we need more ppl in #Team-OcUK :p
 
Damn an FX-60!?

Looks like number one slot is not gonna happen for me in the single crunchers league :(

Reckon anyone would have an FX-60 going in the give away sticky :D
