Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
The polls are open!
Thanks to the very generous donations to the F@H server fund in Gordon Smitheman's memory, Dr. Pande is purchasing 2 servers for the project.
As mentioned before, they will be dedicated to issuing and receiving work units for folders everywhere.

DONATION STATUS UPDATE
Maximum PC's Donor Advisory Board member posted this in our forum late this afternoon:
We don't know how much was MaxPC's donations and how much was from other teams, nor does it matter. It was all from one big folding team.
AWESOME! From the bottom of our...
A final word, so please pardon my interruption (TL/DR version at the bottom of the post):
We at MaximumPC are still mourning the losses of our teammate, Gordon Smitheman, and his wife, Rose.
For those who did not know him, Gordon spent countless hours drumming up enthusiasm about folding...
The first link didn't work for me, but the second one is classic Gordon. Glad you shared this. His contribution to generating interest in folding was far greater than what he could have done just folding himself. Many a folder have said he was the reason they kept folding after they received...
From the notice in the Maximum PC forum:
Gordon was known to many in the folding community, so I wanted to pass this along. I, for one, am deeply saddened.
Original thread at MaxPC
I know some of the folders here have pointed clients to help with the foldathon for Rose. She should hit 10 million in about a day. Your help has been greatly appreciated as we show support to one of the most ardent supporters in folding in the most fitting way we know.
Whether you folded...
Those who have been around folding for a while are probably familiar with one of my teammates at MaximumPC, Gordon Smitheman (folding as gsmitheman). Gordon has been our Motivator in Chief for years, doing many things to draw and keep interest in our forum and folding in general, and he has...
Well, it seems the consensus is that there will not be a team from [H] again this year. I wasn't around to experience the drama of a couple of years ago. I respect the decisions of those who went through it.
Our hopes with a new point system was to level the playing field. Using an average...
The organizing is taking place now.
By tradition, the Chimp Challenge starts May 5th at 12PM PDT.
Captains are deciding now on a plan to have every team fold for one full week. A 3 or 4 month average of the team's PPD would be taken. From the starting gun, the teams would be...
Hi everyone,
I understand it has been a couple of years since the [H]orde participated in the Chimp Challenge, but we are organizing for another race this year and wanted to extend an invitation.
Some of you joined us over at MaximumPC for last year's race and we greatly appreciated the...
I'll try to put in a good word for you! ;)
Thanks to everyone for the congrats. One of our folders, Fergity, noticed the Folding@Home project has passed the 100 billion mark.

Great work by so many people, yet so much more to do...
Just wanted to say thanks to some of the folders here who have contributed to Team 11108 in the past, especially the last Chimp Challenge. MaxPC will hit the 3 billion mark with the 9pm update! We're proud to be one of only 3 teams with that distinction.
Now, onward to 4 billion, for the...
True, I've reset my team number on my clients, but I am happy to have helped.
As I looked through the names of your new folders over the past couple of weeks, I only recognized 5 or 6 from MaxPC, unless we had more that folded under a different name (perhaps to remain anonymous?). So, this...
Thanks for the welcome, everyone. Checking in from MaxPC (11108). I started folding there in April using only a dual-core laptop. lassiterb dropped an invite over there about the time I added an i7 950 and GTX460. No more than finished my first bigadv, then I turned all of my folding to [H]...
