Just make up different milestones, for instance the stats web page break them into 1000s, 10,000s, and 100,000s. Something else to consider is that to make it to the top 100 you only need some 270,000 points.
Mate I used to fold with just my iBook and it did a 200 point wu every 3 days. Now I have one main machine pumping out 2.6k a day
yeah that's very annoying. hopefully they'll update the client soon

yeah everyone has to start somewhere
hey a PS3 gets over 1,000 PPD
Just took #5 spot on the team! Yeah!
Long road ahead from now on, unless a new Mac Pro 12 cores is in my future
congrats!
hey you'll get there! and you never know, that 12-core mac pro might come as early as next week!

yup ive been watching my page stat thingo. interesting to see. i seem to be doing about 343 per day at the momeny. i decided to turn my hackintosh off - it was making too much noise and draining too much power.
2,600 a day eh? what is the specs of that machine? thats pretty darn amazing! my imac sucks with its CPU. need a big GPU based machine. when im rich ill bring in a cluster and beat you all
i was in position #2 for SETI at one stage, had a few machines going and a good amount of work coming in - gave up on that tho lol.
PS3 gets +1000 PPD? wow i didnt know that. ill add it
Its a laptop with a gt220 or 230 and a i7 720qm. I have also learnt that smp clients are capable of bonus points so I am hoping to add another 2-3k from that a day

really!!! oh wow!!!! gah its almost tempting to fire up win7 to get the 4850 GPU going!!!
8 million on 9 MAY, now 9 million on 26 MAY. that's about 17 days! not bad considering all the issues i've had. this still should be my best month ever if i post 2 bigadv units before the end of the month
if its even worth saying, i managed to get into the top 200 today. Only running a GTX 260. I've ran my iMac through its paces enough to say its safe to fold for a few days at a time.
thanks! hey you'll get there! just takes time
my fingers are crossed that you don't mess anything up
haha thanks! mine too! i've still got a few days, so hopefully it'll happen
congrats! hey a GTX 260 isn't bad. i think i have 5 of them. they are great cards for folding. keep it up
Since I'm kind of getting higher up in score... how exactly do i setup a passkey so others can't hack/use my name?
Howdy and sorry we didn't get back to you sooner but if you go here there is a link and info about the passkey, enjoy!
I have permanently retired 5 machines, 4 are dual core athlons and one is a 4 core athlon. it was no longer a good idea to keep them running as my power bill is quite high, and they were not contributing enough points to matter anyway. I am up around 800k points a week now with 6 gpu's and 4 machines running a3 and bigadv units. The other machines were contributing almost nothing to that total.
Thanx!
I finally got one of the Mac Pros straightened out..... & it's running full bore now
I was hoping to keep twoodcc at bay a bit longer, but I see that he's already screamed by
im really confused. i have been on 3,351 points for at least 2 months now i dont know where my points are going!!!!! i am doing a3 folding.
anybody have any ideas? :\

A bit on the late side but: thanks! I don't check here very often but I'm getting bored waiting for my iPhone post-iOS4 restore to be completed
I had a bit of a pause in the spring since my MP mysteriously shut down and refused to restart. I guess it was a power spike or something, since by the time I had vacumed the inside clean from dust it was all good again. Still, I started slowly by resuming with normal use and kicking F@H on only later.
And occasionally I've needed the power for some actual work too
I noticed a switch from a2 to a3 lately, but otherwise I've been just running with same settings and same versions. I'm guessing that's cool?
Congrats to twoodcc for 10 million points
Amazing contribution.
thanks! sorry i haven't been on here much, things are getting kinda crazy over here. i'm moving this weekend, so i'll start shutting down my machines either tonight or tomorrow.
so my output will be down for awhile

Have your settings mysteriously changed (team and username)? maybe your points are going to anonymous? that is the only thing I can think of. it should be in the list right after you started it also list the core it is using. Hope this helps.

I just saw that my MP is running a3 now which is cool it means I can restart folding after a power outage and it will start back where it left off! it is a few minutes slower with the a3's by about 10 minutes per frame
oh well.
lol. do you see what i did?
