Be prepared to pass on the (in)famous G4TechTV team!!
I just wanted to celebrate the fact that 6 days from now according to EOC predictions), we'll pass the (in)famous G4TechTV! (just kidding, I don't have any reason to hate those guys, except that they are in another team :o)
For the newcomers that don't know the story, let's say that when we began the firefox team, it grown quite fast, and our rank increased incredibly fast. I don't know for the other members, but I was quite proud of that, and believed that this way of helping medical research while promoting free software and better browsing experience was very cool.
Suddenly, as we felt quite invicible, this new team G4TechTV, came from nowhere in the game and beat us without any problem, which was very annoying, not to say humiliating...
But at least, the G4TechTV team began to slightly decline, while we were slowly but continuously growing, and it will soon be the day of our victory again them!! Hooray!
By the way, welcome to all the team newcomers. There are a few new pals each day, and that's very nice. I hope some of them will lurk on this spreadthefox site and make it a cosy place. Praseodymium did a very good job shaping this community site, and it's now our turn to make it live.
I wish I could stay at the top....
Well, it was nice well it lasted. I will keep on folding, but have lost more than half of my computer time. We have started a new policy at school where we shut down ALL computers every day, so I will not be folding near as much as just a few days ago. I am e-mailing some collegiate computer science labs to get them interested, and hopefully fold for our team, but who knows? Oh well, the real goal is that this project keeps growing.
Against Acceptable Use Policy omfg!
OMFG DUDE!
Better hope your ip isn't a dorm computer :o That is so against the Acceptable Use Policy of the campus (any and all i've ever heard of). You could get in serious shit, esp. if its a highschool (as there will be no profs to tell principle its harmless). If you're a college student you should know better, if you're in junior high, send me your resume as I'm impressed :-)
You need permission to run FAH on any computer in which you a) don't have permission to install it as a service and/or b) do not physically own.

Did I mention my mother admin
Did I mention my mother administrates the computer labs?
Ironic...
That's funny, cause I just read in a Blake interview (Blake Ross, www.blakeross.com one of the guys behind FF) that G4Tech TV used to be one of the strongest SpreadFirefox referral:

Thanks. I'm a real noob in html and web technos.
We passed them!
I have been doing WU's for several days. I find it fitting that on the day I complete my first one, we beat G4TechTV!!! I have over 20 computers now doing WU's, including three very fast Dells, so I hope to contribute!!! To add some useful info for everyone, the next 37 teams in a row have lower production rates than we do, so we have some smooth sailing into the top 80.

Funny comic
Indeed!
Now that we passed them, the first sheet of the eoc stats is just next hand!
But the few teams that are threating us are still growing quite fast...
Anyway, congatulations for everyone!
Nice, but...
Finally G4TechTV is being beaten... BUT new worries are coming from behind. We should take care of the Overclock.net and Team Lithuania teams. They're predicted to be moreless 6 months away from us, but they seem to be growing!
I'm happy, too, for research... but... we shall prevail!
..::XF::..
OK, but...
But we're also still growing. The installer is still work-in-progress but when it's finished we'll be able to get more folders quicker and easier (step one download the installer, step two run it).
Story first broke...
