Don't hope anything, nothing will change on Predictor board.
Censorship has been working again 2 days ago (user account deleted, credits deleted, team deleted, posts deleted).
A big shame...

All 13 WUs failed for the same reason.

This is one project crossed off my to do list. I agree its their property (the server) and they can do much what they please. I also think teams should blacklist this project. My team leader is on a holiday at the moment or i would have messaged him already (its not something a temp leader should decide) about B@A taking a stand. Its sad really i created an account and then our AA6 got a very early start so it went on the back burner. Oh well Predictor doesn't get a share of my 6 cores means Docking gets a larger share once AA6 is over so its not all bad news is it.

Actually it's voluntary to crunch a project, because it's the donation; those who want to do it should do it. Since each member of a team had the right to crunch projects, I'd let it be.

Still, let's think this again; what do we participate any project for? There can be many answers as well as the number of the participants, but the one of the most clear and general is to help the science, from computing to public education (like the newsletters written by guys at UTEP), be progressed. Is the event at P@H much more serious than the point?
And I don't think it's good idea to blame them on this board for what they've done. We, especially I, can educate ourselves thanks to the happening, though :)

Even on Seti@home in the (old) flame wars, nobody was banned until 2038 !
Sure, they do what they want in "their" forums and this is not the first time that has happened.
But if participants can learn, project administrator needs too.
People are not dogs or zombies.

Managed to get the windows running time down from 8 to 4.5 hours (3.5 on the same linux box). Not bad :-) We're getting there...

Thanks!
Andre

That credit system sounds good to me too, but as Yoda said it only works in line with optimisations for windows. Good luck with that!

I like the idea of the extra credit too :)

Indeed not bad ;)
How did you do ?
