There's an obvious link to foldingforum.org on the homepage and the link is also on pretty much every FAQ, and numerous times on the installation and configuration FAQs.

Also, they don't necessarily have to make an account to get help here, and in that case we would see no indication at all. They can do a forum search, or use Google. This site has been up long enough to cover nearly every F@h error at least a dozen times over. :)

F@h is now the top computing platform on the planet and nothing unites people like a dedicated fight against a common enemy. This virus affects all of us. Lets end it together.

I hardly see it any different than stopping FAH on your own computers because it's no longer the best PPD/W machine based on BETA WUs.
And that is why you find out what the problem might be, which clearly you do not have any Idea of what the problem is either calling a donor a troll just because you did not like what they posted is not going to increase donor participation nor is it acceptable. You are posting on ways to increase donor participation yet you are running donors off with rude behavior. Something is clearly wrong with this picture stand back and take a look at it. :wink:

You mean ignore the video file called "foldflash2.exe" you recently uploaded to a newly created Mediafire account? That's actually sound advice. I completely agree that most people would find something like http://icrontic.com/files/team93/videos/foldflash2.swf much more appealing.

PS: please don't ignore the video, it's really good. Ignore mmonnin instead.
