Hi Jet, UD is using many computers worldwide to find a cure for cancer. (and perhaps other diseases in the future.) It uses the extra resources that a users computer has available to compute results for research. UBBDev has a team of people that are helping, Team UBBDev. Users that join the UD UBBDev team receive an "UD avatar" under their username for points achieved. Jon has a gold UD avatar which means his points combined with his sub-team points totals over 50,000. One result gives members a blue avatar, bronze is for 10,000 pts, silver for 25,000, etc.
A sub-team are members from, for example, your forum. You would be the captain, have them sign up with Team UBBDev at the UD site but they need not be a member here. The Captain reports totals and members in this forum so we can update the subteam pages and keep track of totals. Hope this helps and feel free to ask any other questions you may have.
Donate to UBBDev today to help aid in Operational, Server and Script Maintenance, and Development costs.
Please also see our parent organization VNC Web Services if you're in the need of a new UBB.threads Install or Upgrade, Site/Server Migrations, or Security and Coding Services.
