U. S. Air Force

Checkout the NEW #1 and #2 on their team. :|

Thanks for the update, hmm.

A new, fresh email has just been sent to Dr. Anderson. ;)

Hijacked accounts? What the fudge is going on? Sorry guys but I'm not working my office job anymore. I'm actually working now! :p ;)

I never imagined B&T would just up and leave anyway. Had to be a reasonable explanation and now we have it. Hope it gets tracked down soon. Just sucks that the crew at SETI@Home has to spend their time fixing crap like this instead of working on the project.

Cheaters and hijackers still suck! :| :thumbsdown: :disgust:

Looks like the accounts moved again. They were there a while ago, followed by a bunch of red arrows below them.

They can run ... but they can't hide. ;)

It would be great if it is something the Seti Admins have already done ... but I have my doubts. We'll see.

What you "would have" seen was:

1. John Kerry NEW 213,716 WUs (this account belonged to "divi2323")
2. Greeneville NEW 200,922 WUs (this account belonged to "BnT - TeAm AnandTech")

Thanks Smoke,

This is ridicules, What motivates these creeps to steal workunits...Fame? Fortune?
We are talking about work units for @#$$@#@$@# sake.

I hope seti makes an example out of them.

Yeah, and no conjugal visits!

lol:)

Though I think it would be unfair to punish the team for hijackers joining them as they may not of even been aware of it

I'd guess the only reason these guys fvck with SETI is because it's popular & they can. Kinda like virus writers attacking with MS.
