Who was here the last time someone visited these boards with a friendly challenge? I'm sure ETHunter remembers! 
That was indeed a great time for us here at Team DSLR. Thinking back on it, I honestly think that OcUK did indeed make a mistake by awakening the sleeping dog. Well, the mistake was for them, not for the SETI project. It sure did light a fire under us. Unfortunately for many teams since then, that fire still burns brightly today. Shall we set our sights on burning yet another tushie?
What a TEAM!!!

kudos:2 | JP pretty much summed it up. Some of the members of the OcUK team suddenly appeared in our forum and announced that they would soon "Stomp" us. Stomp is a term they use in a very friendly manner over on their own forum. The "threat" of being stomped did not sit very well here and not long afterward it was decided that the two teams would race to see who could add 100,000 WUs to the totals that each team had the day the stomp warning was given.
We sounded the alarm and when we did, many members of the Folding Forum joined forces with us. Needless to say, our production skyrocketed and we left OcUK in the dust. On the positive side however, we made some great friendships during the challenge that have grown since then. For those that were not here, there is still a link at the top of our forum to their board. Take a pop over and say hello. Their bark is much worse than their bite and in truth, they are a bunch of real great guys and girls, just like us.
What a TEAM!!!

Out the 10Base-T, through the router, down the T1, over the leased line, off the bridge, past the firewall...nothing but Net.

| I too have paid their forums a visit. Seems like a friendly bunch...I am personally chomping at the bit for a good friendly challenge. Apple, Canada, and Slashdot were too easy!
And take a look at this thread: »forums.anandtech.com/messageview···d=544262 It's fun to see the other team's perspective as we moved into view.
