Well it’s a little weird for me, but SW, as in the clan, is back again and being ran by ex-vice president Nitro-Excell and is being played in Kali. Please welcome Scarab traffic as our forums will be a temporary “staging area” for the people that SW-Nitro-Excell and SW-Mase are rallying. It’s also a bit weird as I’ve said “there will be no more new SWs” in AW. So if you always wanted a legit SW tag in your name, now might be the time.
UPDATE: Also as a part of the Scarab revival, the players are trying to get SeeMePlayMe gaming network to add Scarab to their game network since, according to some, Kali sucks. Email them and request support for Scarab. If your interested in downloading Scarab, ask Nitro on ICQ or check the forums. ICQ – 21098484

657th place to be exact. May not sound like a big deal but its taken us a few months now to get that far (we started in 3000+ or something lol), and there are tens of thousands of Folders. We won’t be going much farther though without some more members though >_<. So, here's a little list of "why not fold?".
1. Runs in the background and takes up less than 2 MB of RAM at any time.
2. Will only do it’s work when the CPU has spare mhz, such as when your computer is idle.
3. Only needs about 200-300kb of bandwidth total per project (which takes my 1.5 ghz machine 17 hours to do).
4. Download it, install it and forget it =)
5. Last, it’s a charitable act. In a nutshell, the program simulates a protein “folding”, which is does before it carries out it’s purpose in the body. However folding is so complicated that each project only simulates a few nanoseconds of the fold process. So the more computers simulating, the quicker the lab can understand why proteins misfold which causes a hand full of fatal diseases.
Once again, our team number is 11039
