Recently, I saw a post about Seti@Home, and I remember there being a WCG Crunching thread not too long back. I got to thinking that they really don't have a good home, and are buried in places like the Software and NVidia subforums (IIRC). I thought it might be an idea to perhaps change the Folding Sub-forum to 'Distributed Computing' or something of the like. This would help the WCG team (I believe has 5 people) and anyone else looking to do stuff like Rosetta or Seti, as they would have a more obvious place to look for it.

I think there is ample space in the Folding Sub-forum as it is, and I don't have an issue against it. Anyone elses thoughts or comments?

any team that achieves something worthy, like top 100 for folding will get its own forum

Fair enough, I was just thinking its a little tough to gain a user base if their threads were in obscurity. No biggie really, it just seemed odd some of the places the threads were getting started.
