Welcome to our modest though robust team of folders! You are all more than welcome to join us or ask specific questions about how to go about folding but please start a new thread to post your questions, this way nothing of importance will be lost and everyone here will help you out.
If you just want to chat folding then the Folding@Home Home thread will be great!

Folding @ Home
Participation in Folding@home is the responsibility of the individual user. While Pronet may provide information on how to participate, we cannot be held liable for any damages which you may incur. We encourage you to only use your own personal computer or computers that you own or have control over. Being a part of a Folding Team can be a fun and worthwhile activity, but you do so at your own risk.
What does Folding@Home do? Folding@Home is a distributed computing project which studies protein folding, misfolding, aggregation, and related diseases. We use novel computational methods and large scale distributed computing, to simulate timescales thousands to millions of times longer than previously achieved. This has allowed us to simulate folding for the first time, and to now direct our approach to examine folding related disease.
What are proteins and why do they "fold"? Proteins are biology's workhorses -- its "nanomachines." Before proteins can carry out their biochemical function, they remarkably assemble themselves, or "fold." The process of protein folding, while critical and fundamental to virtually all of biology, remains a mystery. Moreover, perhaps not surprisingly, when proteins do not fold correctly (i.e. "misfold"), there can be serious effects, including many well known diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, Huntington's, and Parkinson's disease.

A rubber band pistol was confiscated from algebra class because it was a weapon of math disruption.

yes it's 13790

thanks for letting me know

I just talked a guy at the folding forum, and you can change teams.
Im moving my 6 or so PC over here now.
