Lost TA members

That's strange. I saw the thread about having to rejoin and I did it then. The page said I was still a member of TA. Now I went back and re-joined again and it said previous team-none, now TA. It said TA in both places a few days ago.... Anyway, if I haven't contibuted to TA since Oct 31, then I guess you will get around 20k blocks from my modest herd (celeron 366@550, duron 700@950, 486-100, and occasionally a P2 233-cracks constantly, dumps occasionally). 🙂 Thanks for thatlist of members not contributing Dale.

from Kilowatt:
<< Hmmmm....Now seems like a good time to contact the "bottom 400" you guys were talking about before.
Seeing how Dnet's tally server's had problems, why is it OK to contact just the ones that might have been dropped by Dnet? >>
Has DNET given permission to contact these participants via email regarding this situation
(Especially with email addresses taken from their stats pages)?
Taken from Decibel's plan:
<< :: 10-Nov-2000 08:20 (Friday) ::
Part of the fixing I did on stats was to change the statsrun so that it
used a different table for determining what team each participant is on.
Unfortunately, there are some discrepancies between the table that's in
use now, and the table that was being used. Please check to make sure that
your work is being submitted to your team. If it's not, simply re-join
your team. Sorry for the confusion. >>
Pehaps it isn't OK to contact anyone!:|

Ok folks. I appreciate that letter from Ken_g6 about my status.
I want to get started again, but I have a dilemna. I have an Abit BE6-2 and a celeron 566@850 running Win2K Pro. As of a little while ago I was running Win98SE. I was using Hardware Doctor from the Abit CD to monitor my temperature and fan settings. It does not want to run on Win2K and I do not want to run mmy processor at 100% constant if I cannot monitor my cpu and fans...
I have already tried downloading the latest one from the Abit FTP site. I have heard aout Motherboard Monitor, but on softseek it says "Requirements: Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000, and LM78, LM79, WinBond W83781D or LM75 chip set.", and I am not sure what hardware monitoring the Abit has on it...
I'll try downloading Montherboard Monitor tonight when I get home. If anyone has any suggestions, please send them my way. Thanks.

Just wait a bit more.
Next week I'm planning on making a message in which the launch of both the TA-website and the TA-newsletter is announced. Mentioning the loss of members due to a DNet error is also planned.
IMO, we have something important to tell them, not just: 'Hi, we've missed you for so long! Please drop by sometime! Oh, and btw you should rejoin since DNet made a mistake!'.
Also, I have the software for it, only need a list of the 'bottom 400' TA-ers.
DALE? 😛 Maybe you can help? You seem to be a script wizard!!! 😀

DanC-
hmmm, the previous post was 30 minutes before mine, dead? I think not!
In your eyes, the situation may appear to be different, but you failed to answer my simple question. Did DNET give permission to email team members to remedy this situation? I read Decibel's plan and didn't see any. As far as injecting negativity, from your point-of-view it may appear to be. My point-of-view sees you at it agian, same shxt, different day!:|
...to quote you,
BITE ME!

osmo, no one emailed me, I was PM'd and I apreciate it.
It's pretty pathetic when team members can't communicate with the rest of the team to inform them that they may have been accidently dropped from the team without someone yelling spam.:frown: If I were dropped from TA I'd sure want to know about it.
My only question is, are the DPC emailing their members to tell them that they may have been dropped? If so shame on them.😉 What's good for one team is good for another.

I didn't say that the team couldn't "communicate with the rest of the team". I also didn't say that all email was unacceptable either.
If the DPC are emailing their members, it is because they have been much more organized than we are. If they are using email addresses from DNET, then yes shame on them.
Be sure to jump off the bridge when the DPC do it, we wouldn't want to think or act for ourselves!😛

Hey guys.....I really don't see why e-mail in this case would be a problem. This is just to inform of a serious D.net situation that could result in blocks not being counted for some time if at all. Not everyone that cracks for TeAm Anandtech visits the forums...some may be away.....or other reasons. If these threads are gone by the time they get here, then they may never notice.
I'm not sure I see this one as SPAM as there is an error to correct!
Great day all!

There is a very simple solution to this, since they do not need to rejoin the team TODAY or even this week, (every block will be counted for TA when they rejoin), ask decibal, nugget, moose, whoever to see if you can email them. If they say no, then kindly ask why the fsck they can't check the logs and manually rejoin them from their dbase because it was their own damn fault. Then maybe after that was said, they might be more willing to let the email get sent.

You're confusing two situations.
One is where a member is no longer contributing blocks, and people have talked about e-mailing them to try to convince them to re-join the RC5 effort. That I would consider spam because the person had to have taken an active part in removing the client or joining another team. In that case they chose not to contribute.
The situation we have before us is one where due to a foul-up by D.net, members were dropped from the team they chose to join. Letting them know this has happened is definitely not spam. They, through no action of their own, have had their status changed and may not know it. These members are still actively contributing blocks, and likely unbeknownst to them their blocks no longer count towards TA. They would most likely be grateful for being told their blocks were being sent into the void.

I am certainly not confused.
Notice at the begining of this thread, I did not post. The issue was gray enough that I wasn't going to get involved. But since this time, we now have people lumping in both sets of TA participants taking advantage of this situation. Also, this doesn't mean that permission should not be received to proceed even if the intent is to inform. DNET has the ability to notify all users of this situation via email if they believe it is warranted. They did post the problem in Decibel's plan. The situation may be different but the rules have not changed.
Possessed Freak has the right idea, lets find out if DNET would agree to it? If not, they have some explaining to do.

Osmo I intend to. I've already got my swim trunks on waiting for the DPC to jump.😛
If you think doing things the way the DPC do is foolish then you are sadly mistaken. I've always believed that to become the best you have to examine how the best operate and learn what their secrets to success are. Without a doubt the DPC are the best RC5 team out there right now and we need to find out how they're doing things and learn from them so we can surpass them.
If they're getting the email addresses from DNET they need to either get in trouble for it or we all should be able to do it. If they gathered the addresses from other means then this is a good example of why we needed to do the same.🙂
