I run off and do some BOINC projects for six months or so, and come back to see this!

Just 4 actives? Where art thou, Moe? Bogseat? Raven? Azrael? Qaz? Even the active ones seem to be dead and just not technically inactive (though that stats site I havent got used to, but just happened to come across it).

It's not for everyone, I know, especially some people with air cooling don't like hearing their fan blow category 5 winds and heat up their rooms all day.

I'm a little surprised Ashur, or anyone else, hadn't already overtaken me!

I've got probably 12-24hrs worth of WU's from my other projects, then I'll drop in place a pair of F@H console clients again.

Anyone going to give me challenge for the top spot? I won't have the production I used to, but it'll be good for a single system 24-7.

Edit: Sorry guys, my quick glance totally missed the official (and now goliath sized) 'Official' thread. It looks like you guys have been having some technical problems, and at least two of you are bleeding bad WU's (Raven and TBChris). I'll try to catch up in the official thread after dinner.

Greetings and Welcome back Ringold! Wow Good to have a high numbers man back.

Yes catch us on the main thread for F@H..

The god of F@H has returned!!! All hail Ringold

I'm not folding coz my computer is DEAD at the moment - it hasn't got anything on its brand-new harddrive - not even an operating system, so it is completely useless. I'm waiting for PC World to send me a Windows XP installation disk - which incidentally *should* have arrived on Wednesday!

I'm on my old computer at the moment - it's an AMD K-6 2 450Mhz leviathian of computing with only 160Mb RAM, so I just can't risk running folding@home on it because it is barely running as it is!

I have otherwise folded right the way through your absence though, Ringold - but how could you honestly expect me to overtake you?! You're STILL 40000 points ahead of me! 8O

Anyways, I have managed to get some folding done in my absence - I borged some computers in work.

The tech guys found folding@home on the computers and removed it, but not before it managed to do 6 units, so its still something.

lol do they have any idea it was you MOE? We wouldn't want you to lose your job for the greater good of science

JOB?! It's an unpaid placement with my local Council so they can't fire me as such...

And like I said in the other thread, I denied all knowledge. The things I do for the greater good of science...

Matress_Of_Evil a possable Saint? 8O

Is it okay if I do not "touch tht one? lol

lol worried you might pick up the bug Winter?

Shhhh You'll ruin my whole cover ! LOL

Actually I thought Ashur would dethrown me. At the time I switched I think it was him that was climbing like a rocket in our team rankings and had no idea who he was. If I'd stayed away another one to two months, Ashur might just have done it, too! In fact.. I wont discount him even now, I have no idea what sort of computers he could start to fold against me. Feel free, Ashur, if you read this, to try to take my crown. Competition is fun

If not for the 56,320 point differential, I'd say TheWhiteRaven would be a contender for #1 since he'll be getting a point bonus for running the GPU client.. but next month I'll be building a new computer and after some deliberation I think it'll run F@H after all. It'll more than double my output.

I'm averaging 500-800ppd depending on the WU's I get at the moment.

Hopefully with my production coming back it'll inspire some of the old inactive people back to life.

Well when I started I had my guns fixed on matress.. lol now I'm stalled out working 20,000 WU's... lol

i stopped folding months ago when it started messing with my video card.

though I can say I was there when it all began....

Don't know why that'd be. Could always try the text based client or are you still having gfx problems?
