Switching teams saves you money?Damn just been having a look at our production. Only 66 members actively folding?
Honestly, I've been thinking about switching to EVGA. Yes its selfish but damn, $120 bucks a year just for folding?
Switching teams saves you money?
Evga gives you "EVGA Bucks" to use on their site to buy hardware.
Basically you have to earn 250,000 points a month. 250,000 points rewards you with 5 EVGA bucks. If you earn 500,000 points you get an additional 5 evga bucks, for a total of 10. 12 months in the year is 120 EVGA bucks. 1 EVGA buck is equal to 1 dollar in the EVGA online store.

So let me get this straight. You don't fold for over 2 years - personal choice and that's fine. You decide that you'd like to get back into folding again and start it up - excellent.
For 3 days you contribute to your old Team Rage3D and then post a statement about there only being 66 folders producing for the team. You then leave and move to team "me too".
The entire point of the Folding@Home project is the science. We are offering our spare (and sometimes purchased and dedicated) hardware to help process the scientific work being done by the Pande Group. This will hopefully end up helping us all.
So, you just answered you're own question about what has probably happened to the team over the years. If you are folding so you can get paid then you are doing it for the wrong reason.
Well, I started up folding yesterday, so far I am on place 271 in the rage3d list, and climbing.

Honestly, I don't care why people Fold. I'm just glad when they do.As Bleeder mentioned, folding should be about the science.
