The [H]orde are about to attack the fortress... and pinch the Duck!

It looks like we have just under 7 days left at the top. The marauding [H]orde have gathered many a soldier ready to storm our fortress on New Years eve and take the Duck from our keeping. We have responded the best we can with the available resources that we have. With the New Year brings newly invigorated warriors back to the Fold, they will lead our charge to the top once more and bring the Duck back home where it belongs. We have held the top spot for all but 21 days during 2005 which is a mighty effort from everyone that has contributed to the team and the cause. I would like to thank every one of you, your efforts are greatly appreciated and its a pleasure to be associated with some of the most generous and giving people that I have every known. Now its time to go and ....

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

[H]ardOCP take top spot: bye bye ducky it's time to go...

Congratulations to the [H]ardOCP team on regaining the top spot once again, it's been an awesome run to get there over the past few weeks. They have wiped off our lead of 2.84 million points in 29 days, ending our reign at the top which lasted for 231 days. I'm sure they will give us something to chase over the next month or two. A big well done to all our members new and old that have worked flat out to help hold the charging [H]orde at bay as long as possible. We will gather our forces once more in the new year and make a bid to regain the Relic Trophy. It will be a mighty battle and whoever wins will hold sway for the majority of 2006.

Congratulations to the [H]ardOCP team the holders of the Relic Trophy for being the top Folding@Home team in the world.
