What Folding@Home team do you play for?

by Ed Stasick { Mar 26th 2007 at 11:45PM }

Folding@Home fever is officially sweeping the nation (if not the world)! Now, we would like to think that everybody out there is playing on team Fanboy, but we know that there are other, more respectable groups too.

With that in mind, PS3 Fanboy would like to see this post become the uber catalog of up-scale Folding@Home teams. Use the comments below to post your favorite team (and any pitch you want to make about why folks should join you).

We'll kick things off by listing out a few of the teams that we think are "kinda fun:"

Of course, in the end, it doesn't really matter what team you're on... all that matters is that you're on a team. When it comes to finding a cure for cancer, everyone is on the winning team.

mccomber @ Mar 27th 2007 12:26AM

Cranking out work units in the name of PS3 Fanboy of course, the most rockingest folding team this side of Japan.

Rob White @ Mar 27th 2007 12:52AM

Join team #54633, this is a team dedicated to finding a cure for anyone who has, survived, or unfortunately loss due to one of these terrible diseases. Join team #54633.

Beefy @ Mar 27th 2007 3:25AM

I fold for my own team - Beefysworld.com (#33272). We're probably the smallest userbase that's made it into the top 100 teams...

"Of course, in the end, it doesn't really matter what team you're on..."

...unless you're on team 360. ;)

I'm obviously folding on PS3 Fanboy's rockin' team.

Dustin @ Mar 27th 2007 2:46AM

I'm on my own team: The Curing Playstations! 54737. 15+ and growing! Would love for more people to join!

ill trooper @ Mar 27th 2007 3:10AM

My friend and I cranked out 7 work units over the weekend. I'd have to look up the team number.

Maybe you (PS3 Fanboy) should remind us to do that every Sunday.

"Sunday is PS3 Folding Day."

Engadget's of course.

@11: It's no one, but everybody who is using PS3 as their name (which is 34 people).

Brook @ Mar 27th 2007 10:02AM

team engadget...my PS3 has been on for about 2 or 3 days probably

Kiteless @ Mar 27th 2007 10:56AM

Engadget #97 on the stats board ATM. Ran my PS3 over the weekends "Fold a thon".

KillarClown @ Mar 27th 2007 11:02AM

It could matter what team you're on in an effort to create a little friendly competition between blogs or friends.. keep insterest up.. also, unless i missed it.. there should be a banner "PS3Fanboy FAH team #!" somewhere near the fanboy main banner... that would be convenient me thinks.. I will fold for PS3 Fanboy

bootsielon @ Mar 27th 2007 11:38AM

Xbox 360 fanboys want this. They could probably help, what with a weaker processor and all... Unfortunately, their Xbox wouldn't last. It'd end up fried in microsoft repair center with the ring of death.

ACSeraph @ Mar 27th 2007 1:01PM

Team Penny Arcade, because "The Tube is Civilization!"

NATO_Duke @ Mar 27th 2007 1:07PM

Wow, look at that - some flame comments on the 360 under this subject. Shameless.

Anyway, I fold under one of the Sony GAP teams.

I really am shocked by how some people act like if you dont fold on their team then diseases won't be cured. They don't seem to get that the team element means nothing to the project itself. Sony's forums have had some nasty fighting between teams. I even saw one team threaten to sue someone over their banner.

Earl @ Mar 27th 2007 2:23PM

keep up all the good work team ps3fanboy

Brad Hodson @ Mar 27th 2007 1:52PM

Anthony @ Mar 27th 2007 4:29PM

agustin @ Mar 27th 2007 8:06PM

Jion team SKUNKWORKS no.55515 we are slowly but surley moving our way to the top

nobody528 @ Mar 27th 2007 9:58PM

w00t! I'm loving all the competition for curing diseases on this type of media (I never thought I'd see the day). I've always left my systems running (risky, I know, but I'm a tad impatient), and now I have an actual reason to do so. Folding@Home is one of the best use of an update patch yet. Keep the updates coming Sony!

BTW, PhRoZeN = #20 and rising on PS3 Fanboy's team! :D
