Top 1,000 - Way to go DU f@h Team

[Mabus]

Since ny-liberal suggested forming a DU Folding Team on December 22, 2005 we've had over 150 people join the DU Team with their 223 computers and today, Team DU just made it it into the top 1,000. Actually we jumped from 1,001 to 996! A full five spots!

:woohoo: :applause: :applause: :woohoo:

Way to go DU!

or

go to http://folding.stanford.edu and join Team # 48157, Democratic Underground's own Folding@Home Team!


Here are the current stats:

Date of last work unit 2006-01-31 11:23:16

Realistically, the only way to catch and then overtake the freeper team is for more DU'ers to sign up. Please sign up if you can. If you're already signed up, get a friend or two to join us.

1. We've jumped 10 spots since around 10 AM

Not bad at all.

5. When I first looked today we were 1,003

after running some errands we had made it to 1,001. I hit refresh and *poof* we were 996! Pretty cool huh?

BTW, for our first month as a top 2,000 team we have accumulated 145,391 points (per http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=48157) while the freepers only managed 12,451 points in their first month and 154,578 in their second month (see http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=36120).

We're climbing fast but the only way we will catch and overtake the freeper team is to get as many DU'ers as possible on board.

11. that's one reason I went over to

the lounge. I figured we could reach some who avoid the GD

Don't forget to check on that thread from time to time.

4. Woo Hoo DU Folders!!

I can't fold at the office so I do it at home.

[Mabus]

8. This is the only folding I gladly do

at home and the office - which is easy for me since I work at home.

Keep on folding! :patriot:
