Oops, nevermind that last message.  Looks like they finally fixed it.  Again, you
can use your own email address when you configure your client.  For people just
starting out, remember that it'll take a day or two for you to show up on the
statistics.  Once you're on there, search for your email address on
http://stats.distributed.net/projects.php?project_id=8. Once you're on your personal
stats page, you'll see a link on the bottom of the page that will allow you to
request a password.

Once you have your username and password, go here:
http://stats.distributed.net/team/tmsummary.php?project_id=8&team=4420

On the bottom of the page there is a link that says "I want to join this team!"

Have fun
