That is not a true statement.
You can transfer Bits to anyone, anytime, for any reason here.
All we did, which was agreed to by the advisory team, as I recall, was to replace Bits with the "Thank You" system, for individual posts.

OK, let's define "folding", per the web site:
So, people run some distributed computing software at home and they will run this software (fold) for some amount of Bits. Then, the person doing the folding gets credit with the folding project team.
How does the person donating the Bits to the folder get any credit with the folding team? How does the site get credit for participation?

Maybe you mean that we create a forum folding team?

To keep this idea going, I created a folding team for the forums:

Folding@home is a distributed computing project -- people from throughout the world download and run software to band together to make one of the largest supercomputers in the world. Every computer takes the project closer to our goals. Folding@home uses novel computational methods coupled to distributed computing, to simulate problems millions of times more challenging than previously achieved.

To create a new team fill in the fields below. Do not use spaces in names (underscores are ok); if a space is there, it will be automatically converted to an underscore. If the name does not duplicate a team name already present, we will associate a number with your team name and tell you the number.
Anybody who wants to contribute their work units toward your team should enter that number in their client configuration. We ask for a name and password in case you ever wish to alter the name at some point in the future.
