Folding@home: September Update

Our faithful Greg has written the Folding@home updates since July last year. But now it’s time to fold over a new page as I take over the duties as TSA’s official Folding@home co-ordinator. So from now on I’ll be bringing you the monthly updates as well as some other folding related stuff, such as meet the folder, as well as a competition here and there.

We’ve sorted out an email address so you can contact us on folding related matters. Simply send your email to folding[at]thesixthaxis.com and we’ll do our best to get a reply to you as fast as possible.

Team Info

We’ve still not reached the magical 1,000,000 points per month, but we’re not giving, up, as the now official Folding@home co-ordinator, it’s my job to get more folders on board to help reach milestones like this, so watch this space as I’ll be announcing incentives to get us all folding along for this great cause.

Although we are still slowly moving up the ranks, with the departure of one of our highest folders, Silverx75, we’ve slowed down our pace, but all is not lost as we still have a good selection of folders to make sure we’re not going backwards. However, we could do with more recruits to help us crunch our way higher, and past the likes of Eurogamer and the other sites mentioned below.

If you would like to help us with a small form of world domination head over to the Folding forum thread and follow the simple steps to join the team. If you do however have trouble with setting up, don’t hesitate to get in touch via the same email as above, folding[at]thesixthaxis.com.

Team Radar

Unfortunately we haven’t passed any of the teams we were hoping to, but by next month we should have moved into the top 700 teams and overtaken SCEE’s team, they must be too busy prepping for the Move launch.

New Members

We’ve had nine new faces join the team, most of which are also new faces to the site too, so welcome along and happy folding. If you would like to be part of this list in the future, all you need to do is join the team and complete a single work unit, it’s quite simple really.

Last Month’s Top Folders

It’s good to see that even new folders can get into the top 25 with only a month or less to hand, and we have a third of our new members in the top 25 so congratulations to you if you’re one of the 25, but don’t worry if you’re not, you’ll have your chance to shine in the future.

So lets see how the team and its top members have been doing with the aid of the usual graphs.

Thanks this month goes to Greg for writing all the previous updates. So thank you, from me and the rest of our folders.
