PCMech.com Folding@Home Team Forum!

To David Risley:

I have started a PCMech.com Folding@Home team and as of now, we have 13 active Members. We would like you to create a Folding@Home Message Board for us to use. Once we have a board of our own, we hope many more PCMech users will join us in helping to cure diseases and save lives.

Thank you,
David14259

I am with David, this would be an excellent addition to the site. With 13 members using Folding@Home and more to come, it makes a lot of sense to have a place to discuss it.

I'm in, and a message board would do nicely.

while i'm not sure a folding@home forum is necessary, some sort of pcmech team associated stuff would be good. things like folding@home, as well as other research and/or development could be discussed there.

We had a Distributed Computing forum before, and it was deader than dead. It's now archived.
