Been on there for a few months in the past, and this is by far the least user-friendly forum I've ever visited.

One of the forum moderators is a bully, and no one else stands up for the rights of the members to protect them against this bad individual.
Sometimes there are trolls, they are there on any forum. But it's worse when the moderator himself is a troll, or really doesn't know how to deal with people, and has been given the task of dealing with people.
I fear a lot of people give up just because of this moderator, which happens to have created several moderator accounts under his name.

I've tried contacting the administrator of that forum, after receiving many negative posts by this moderator, fearing he would ban me, without me actually breaking the rules.
In fact, I follow standard forum policies; there is nowhere were it states people can not participate in the forums.
But he did.
I got so sick and tired, but tried again; in hopes things would dissipate. 
But it appears he really prefers to bully participants, or have his click of 10 active users on the forum.
Sometimes I think this is the reason this forum is so empty, and has so few participants.
 
You can be banned for suggesting hardware, participating in conversations, asking questions, essentially just for anything without really doing anything wrong.
One way they want people to participate in the forum; they state this in one of their sections;
But another they ban you if you do (even if you've been respectful, helpful, and just excited to learn and give feedback), even if your post count is less than 2 posts a day, 10 posts a week...
 
Anyone else has had bad experiences on the forum?
 
I'm sometimes beginning to wonder if Vijay is participating in the forum there, or if he's the one doing most of the moderation there...
 
I'm thinking of moving my servers to another project that uses GPUs.
Open to suggestions!

Cool GTX
I've heard they are basically Our way or the highway
 
I've just not been that impressed when Visiting - so, I've never joined

Very Helpful, Hardworking, Selfless - members in that section also

Yes, the mood on the EVGA forums is night and day difference from there!
I'd have to look at what 'crunching@evga' does.
I have GPUs; and I liked being a part of something greater, for the benefit of mankind.
Boinc seems to only use CPU, and very little GPUs; so they're not really beneficial in my case.
Most servers I have, have very low powered CPUs, just for feeding GPUs, nothing more.

Also, I've learned unless asked, you're not to post your rig info. 
The moderator can see this as boasting, and will send you a warning.

I was on the beta team years ago and felt the same way you did. I haven’t even looked at the forums for years now.

Its been so long can not remember why I no longer go there. Not sure if I was banned when they did away with Big Adv .Think I was real active over there around that time and it was not for the good .Its not a nice place even though there are a few over there that are nice . Never seen a nice Mod though!!!

I am kind of hoping the new guy who replaced Pande as head of Folding will clean the place up.  Bruce can get on your nerves at times.

Only time I posted over there was to report a WU server not redirecting port 80 to 8080, was basically ignored and AFAIK that server never got fixed. Quality.

Yeah, Bruce aka toTOW, and who knows what other names he's adopted, is an asshat!
I think I'll do as others say, stay away from the forum. Don't need them anyway. But keep folding for the ones we love and the ones we lost.
And who knows.. for our future selves perhaps...
Never know, in this society diseases is human's greatest enemy...
I do stand behind the idea of Vijay Pande,
Just hope he's not the asshat of the forum.. could do great damage to his company.

Vijay Pande is no longer involved.  He has moved it to Greg, https://source.wustl.edu/2019/02/computational-biology-project-aims-to-better-understand-protein-folding/

It's funny, I popped in to read the posts I normally don't get to see when I am on my phone and noticed these two posts.
 
Also, BCav, the article you shared is "broken" for some reason..Nothing shows up except for what I am about to mention.. so, would the article Scott shared be considered "Old News" or "Original News" since the folding at home article actually credits the original article from Washington University in St. Louis just above where the article is supposed to be. I am mostly surprised that Scott was the first person to share the article on the forums nearly 2 months after the article was posted, unless I just can't find where it was shared on the forums.

This one https://foldingathome.org/news/
 or this one https://foldingathome.org/2019/03/04/in-depth-article-with-greg-bowman/
Both are working for ATM.
I correct the Old New and changed it to Original News from https://foldingathome.org
It was old news for me, I apologies to all.
