Today (15 Aug) I am celebrating 8 years of Folding at Home with the EVGA Team
 
Now I fully recognize that many of our members have been folding for much longer & have also given Great support to any member who asks! (like me, when I was new to this folding stuff)
 
After all, if it was not for all those Helpful EVGA members; I'd have never gotten this far, this fast. 
 
I've averaged 10+ Billion points per year ..... after my slow start, thanks to improved WU design & massive hardware improvements over the years
 

Thank you to all the friendly members of the EVGA Forum -- you All ROCK

 
"Shark bait out" (see the link below to understand this handle)

 
 ----> where my folding story started - getting some great Help to increase my Folding production:

               Folding advice new to Folding Day1 PPD 275K, Day2@1.07M Day3@1.5 estimate - EVGA Forums

 
Spoiler

Time to change my name from minnow to Shark Bait
I've passed 3.5 Million and 82 WU

    That is some accomplishment. The 8 years is awesome but the rest of it makes you stand out. All the advice you've handed out, the moderating and interesting posts and tenacity that you unleashed on FaH is top notch. Thanks for all of it.

    I second what yodap said.
    Managing hardware every day for all these years to keep folding or other DC projects running, it makes me feel better to know there are still some people around crazier than I am about it.

    Congrats on the 8 years, however its not the length of time that is most impressive.  You've multiplied any knowledge and help you have received in this community many times over - we're lucky to have you here!
