    We need to do more recruiting. This forum has a lot of members of whom the majority are not contributing to this team. Most of our members are running powerful PC's and we need to tap into that market in an effective way.

    Any Ideas.

    I think most people here know of folding@home. I believe it's better to have loyal people who come because they wish than recruite people who only fold for a few days.

    But if we aren't known enough yet, we'll have to make some good signatures ^^
    We could go all hippy over them with flowers, birds and a message of peace. Or make a collage of people who died of cancer and in text "Why do you hate us?". Both ways will work.

    Stijndp has it correct, the majority of points for our team have been garnered by the loyal folders

    Now I do realise your in England but Xs operates with USA law and like the US Military you can be "called up" and not left with a retirement option.
    Now levity aside, John, your one of the people on this forum that I admire and respect. Xs would be a lesser place without you and the Folding at home team would definately miss you.
    If life is busy then don't feel a need to login daily, once a week is fine but stay on my friend.
