    Well, he is me. After a long time of not being around, I have finally returned, with a brand new name and stuff. How's it going?

    Anyway. You guys may not see me as often as you did when I was here last year. I'll post a lot when I am here, but, due to it being baseball season (and me being one of the strongest hitters on the team), I'm gonna need to dedicate myself to baseball over forums. But, judging by the new look of the site, I'd say you'd see me a lot.

    Btw, I caught something in your copyright at the bottom. It says MM-MMV. It's 2004, not 2005, so it should be MM-MMIV. Just thought I'd let you know ;).

    I suppose it depends on your timezone, hehehe, welcome back.

    Join the folding team and leave your computer on while your playing baseball.

    It's a distributed computer program via Stanford that helps understand how proteins fold - or how they get their shape. Proteins function by their shape, if the shape is not correct then there is a problem. Currently they are working on several different diseases like altzheimers, hunting's disease, etc. The program runs in the background, using only unused CPU cycles, so the effect is minimal, except with the most intense games.

    Welcome back to the site! Glad you popped back over to say hello and participate now and then when you can.. We are always happen to see returning members..

    Would you like me to merge your two accounts, so you can retain all your post counts and such? I hate leaving duplicates when I can avoid it... It is a quick process, so let me know.

    Actually, I was codePhoenix on WiredGamers, and Xilicon here before... so if you wanted to merge all three of my accounts and keep it as OutlawShadow, that would be pretty cool. Thanks ;)
