Couldn't agree with you more FoBot. Even though this is a competative "sport" for all of us, it is supposed to be fun. As a webmaster and site owner, I am not just concerned about the Team, but about the entire site. If you start telling members what they can, and can't run/do, those members are going to leave. Period. Like Free-DC, members at 3dhq.net can run what projects they like. We currently only have forums for the Distributed Folding, but that is because it is the first project taken up as a "team" project. Lots of our members crunch other projects for other teams as well!
So, cheers to Free-DC for your efforts as a team, and for the good nature of your members and staff.
