Thanx DCF for {Team_XPS} Anniversary gift !!!
Team_XPS came to life one year ago.
We started a thread called Folding@Home : Team XPS here:
Thanx to ChrisM and LionelM and others on DCF, our thread was stickied to promote Team_XPS for Humanity's sake. Folding@Home is a wonderful project that aims to help Scinece find cures to diseases like Alzheimer's, Lou Gehrig's and HUntington's.
The project itself started in 2000 and has grown to well over a million participants making up over 130,000 teams around the globe in over 100 countries.
Team_XPS became one year old this month, and our thread will become one year old in two days.
We would have loved to have kept our thread still stickied here. But for some unknown and unannounced reason, today our thread is not a sticky anymore.
* We, the members of Team_XPS hereby request that our old thread be re-stickied on this board.
> Any input from DCF Mods and Team_XPS members are all welcome in this thread.
Peace

What sort of message is Dell sending out here?
The people that fold do so from a great sense of community, and the willingness to want to help others.
A stickie costs Dell nothing.
Please put it back.

Me too! Had that thread not been there, I doubt I would have ever found out about Folding@Home. It's a great project and worthy of promoting. Please resticky!

Let's assume that the thread became unglued simply as a matter of oversight or some sort of automatic software function.
I doubt someone made an affirmative decision that Dell doesn't care about Stanford's project so the thread should be unstickied.

Glad to hear that we will have you as a new addition because of this.
Let us know at the Official thread on DCF or at RSF if we can help.
Also, this will be a good time to glance over our how-tos.
Peace
