UK BOINC Team Forum

Team Cafe: News, Announcements, Progress, and any Forum stuff
A section to chat about whatever takes your fancy about the team in general. For queries about the UBT Forum, please post a message here. Likewise, any suggestions for making the forum better...

Team: Welcome new members
An area for greetings to (or from) NEW members of the Team and/or the Forum. Say "HELLO" here - no one will bite !!

Team: Challenges
This section is where you can post topics related to Challenges from other websites, such as Formula-BOINC, SETI-Germany and BOINCstats, as well as project challenges such as from WCG, PrimeGrid et al.

As a Team, we really want to engage as many team members with these challenges, as this gives us a great way of attracting more members to our Team...plus we get to show our strengths as a Team by (hopefully) doing well in each one.

PS: I have moved lots of topics into this section where they are relevant...as you can see, we've always been happy to take part in Challenges...and long may that continue
