Weird, Stange, WTF!! - SETI Related

[JWMiddleton]

Due to qt0cali's post about Cool birthday gift...I looked at my Registration Class. At one time a guy ZOOMED past me doing 700+ WU a day. I emailed him and he said he was the Admin at a college and they recently got a bunch of AMD based boxes and he was allowed to run SETI over the summer. That was over a year ago. Well, his production slowed down when school started and I finally passed him to regain the top spot. He was sitting around the 100k mark. Well, just now I looked and he is GONE!! How do you fall off the class listing?? Was he caught for cheating? He as not a young kid, or at least the pic in his profile indicate someone 50+ and married. I know you don't know the answer, but I was wondering if anyone else had seen this?

The class-pages shows only active users.

Hmmmmm.......well poop! Thanks for bringing that to my attention! 'doh

Any idea what they classify as inactive?

You're active if returned anything the last 4 weeks...

I don't really trust what I see on the class pages.

My class is May 16th, 1999. Look at the last few entries. Good ol' Pippo Pezotto registered over five years ago and returned his second unit on 9/27/2004???? Jim has return four units in five years, the last one on 10/10/04????

I don't think that's that odd. Seti has averaged something like a million new users per year and I'll bet the first year was higher. That means you're averaging almost 3,000 new users per day. Some of them are bound to have odd patterns.
