For those of you who haven't noticed our overall team production is way down. This is due to a number of factors, but it does not change what that amounts to.

In a little under a week we went from a rapidly producing team with a positive trend to one that seems to be consistently losing production. If you take a look at the past few weeks graph our production on our best day nearly outstripped our production last Saturday on a scale of 3 to 1. If you look at the outliers I have marked out the stark contrast between our past and present production becomes plainly obvious. That tells me too things: one we can obviously do better, and two our production probably depends too heavily on a few key members.
This isn't a major problem and it isn't even urgent, yet, but if you follow the trend line that would place our production at zero in under two months. It also marks the fall of our team behind KonsoliFIN and PS Forum EU, which we were able to best for quite a while and with a commanding majority. Although our team has not yet reached negative numbers of team overtake it very well could.
Just something to keep in mind. I know things happen that we can't control, often in bursts, but I hope we can buck this trend in the next few weeks. Also keep in mind that consistent lower folding is generally better then small bursts of high production. It is easier on your machine and generally better for the team. Also keep in mind how hot your computer is running. Some laptops may benefit form a notebook cooler or some thermal paste. The same goes for your gaming rig or any other desktop computer.
