No longer crunching SETI

Please remove me from the lonely racers in SETI. I will no longer crunch it. And haven't for three days now. The reason is kind of personal, just wanted to Let It Be Known, as it were. But I have devoted the Van Daminator crack rack exclusively to ECC2 crunching, as hopefully some may notice 😕

I'm also still crunching several other projects, but not SETI.

I LOVE that project but trust me----there is a very good reason for me to not crunch it any longer. Don't ask. Well, you CAN ask, but beware the answere lol 😀😉

Thanks for crunching while you did. Glad to hear you are staying with the TeAm 🙂
 
It doesn't matter what your reasons are, as long as you are comfortable with them in your own mind. I am glad to hear that you're staying with the TeAm, though. May I wish you good luck in whatever projects you participate. 🙂
 
Thanks 🙂 I'll hold the reasons to myself but know that I will remain in quite a few TA DC teams other than SETI 🙂 'nuff said.

I noticed that too....I can't believe TA is still behind a certain really small team!! (you and Crazee know who I'm talking about)

I'm out to personally do all I can to make sure TA rises above subpar competition!

MereMortal, hope you are proud of me 😀😉

I have everything on DPAD right now, I think I will add ECC2 to the machines as well and see how they play together...
 
All help is appreciated, but consider TA's ECC2 endevour to be "powered by Phoenix" right now..... I'm on a mission. 😀😎

Sorry to loose you from SETI 🙁 ,but glad your still in TA🙂

Btw I will bite too ,but if you answer ,I'd like it via PM ,why did you quit SETI?.Just curious 🙂
 
If you do not want to voice your opinion in public, that is cool. But I would still like to know. So you can shoot me a pm also. Take care.
 
Okay okay, I'll give a brief summary without going in-depth 🙂

On my old team, some of us formed a mini-team in order to get within about 10K WUs of the team's top cruncher. It was meant in good spirit. He took it badly. Bad things happened. Keep in mind that I was asked to join this new mini-team. When I saw bad things starting to happen, I asked very nicely (to the SETI Powers-That-Be) to kindly restore my WUs. The mini-team owner, and the founder of my old team, also kindly asked of this. No matter. "What's done is done." That is how I lost about 10.5K WUs. Despite the requests from all parties directly involved, the Powers-That-Be at SETI refused to consider the entire set of circumstances, and even more than that, very strongly insuated at some cheating being involved, which I assure you, was not!

And that is why I no longer crunch SETI.

But I'm having much fun farming out to other DC projects 🙂

ouch, did you try to have any of the old fogies here help out with the seti admin guys?
Some of the people here ... ehem... (Dave, Greg),... might have been able to help you out there.

No, this is the first time I'm even letting any of this be known here. It is strictly an issue in the team I was in before. I purposefully did not try to seek out anyone who might have pull with SETI folks, because that's outside the issue. I'm just a regular guy, who tried to do a Good Thing, which blew up in my face. If they don't want to address it, and even go so far as to insuate that some level of cheating was going on, then that's enough for me. Finished with SETI. And all of this is on so many levels.

But no way would I try to ask somebody who might be "in" with the SETI folks. That circumvents how they they treat people, and that is the whole point of my withdrawing from SETI crunching.

"But no way would I try to ask somebody who might be "in" with the SETI folks. That circumvents how they they treat people, and that is the whole point of my withdrawing from SETI crunching."

The only "in" folks are the one's inside the 4 walls of SSL. I only really have conversed with Director Anderson because well we all know what happened with me. I would say Greg is the Ol fogie (Senior Team Ambassador) with the SSL staff. At least give us a chance to see if order can be restored to your shattered effort. Very sorry to see that happened. Please try to see if from their perspective though as the cheating seemed to have been much more rampant than thought and they had to exhaust a lot of unneccessary man hours because of it.
