Below is a rough draft for an up to date stickie for new users. The current stickie is awesome but much of the data in it is no longer relevant. I've pared it down drastically but... perhaps too much. Please take a look and let me know what needs to be added to make it more relevant for us now.
Thanks.

If you decide to add/remove/modify folding slots on your machine take note of the number of GPUs you set up and the number of CPU cores that you have to service those GPUs. If you have a quad core CPU and 1 GPU, one core of your CPU will be needed to feed your GPU. If you have 2 GPUs, then 2 CPU cores will be needed, the same with 3 GPUs and so on. If you let the F@H client configure this automatically, there is no need to worry. If you don't reserve a CPU core per GPU, your points per day will suffer and you'll work many times harder to get lower points.
Key:
EOC = ExtremeOverclocking.com
FAH or F@H = Folding at Home
ppd = points per day
ppw = points per week
Stanford = Stanford University
T32 = Team 32
Vijay Pande (Sometimes Pande, Pande Group, VJ or Vijay.) = Refers to the person who founded and currently runs the FAH project or the lab in which they work.
wtf = way to fold (Why? What else did you think it was?)
WU = Work Unit

How to add your stats to your signature: (Stolen directly from Jmtyra.)
F@H Stats In Your Signature
You can display your F@H stats in your signature using the following syntax:
[FSTATS]<EOC user number>[/FSTATS]
Here is an example signature with the EOC user number shown:
[FSTATS]525307[/FSTATS]
This will display your F@H stats, like this:
To obtain your EOC user number, go to to http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/
Use the name search on the left-side of the page; type in your name, choose 'User', and click on 'Search'.
Note: Verify the spelling of your user name if no results are found.
You will be presented with one or more matches. If you have been on other teams, these will also be listed here.
Click on your user name that is located next to the www.overclockers.com team in the results.
You will then be presented with a page showing your F@H stats. The URL will look something like:
http://folding.extremeoverclocking.c...hp?s=&u=525307
The numbers located at the end of the URL is your EOC user number. In this case, it's 525307.
This is the number you'll use between the tags in your signature.
Note: The limit of 12 lines in your signature still applies. The F@H stats in your signature counts as 5 lines. Ergo, you can only add 7 additional lines in total.
Note: See this thread for more information pertaining to signature rules, limits, content and such.

I need to add some images for the adding stats to your sig but my work machine won't let me do it.
Thanks.
