Congratulations to 2 year club members.

That's what drove me away. Especially carl.h and Moderator9. I see they are still at it and there is no reason to come back.

David, the new moderators can see your one deleted post.

You posted that you had a message that was...

deleted not for offensive language as was stated but for objecting to carl.h and his high handed manner. I am not surprised, scientists make their living begging rich people for money.

It's over 200 days ago, so you probably don't recall, so let me recap for you.
The deleted post began with name calling, first of a class of contributors, and then of a specific person, and ended with "grow up" and have a nice day.

I wanted to be clear to you, and to anyone else reading this, that this is exactly the type of post that will be deleted by moderators. And it has nothing to do with opinions expressed in the post. It has entirely to do with the portion I sited above. If posts were deleted due to the opinion expressed, then your post after that about overmoderation would have been deleted as well. In fact, I might have deleted that one as well if it were me, because you continued with the name calling. It's as simple as that.

This over moderation, inappropriate moving of threads, bad threadment of users by the mods and other users, heavy arogancy against other boinc projects from a lot of users and mods, and zensoring of postings with constructive criticsm has forced me to stop crunching rosetta and ralph.
Sometimes I check the messageboards, but if there would not be a significant change, I seen no more reason to crunch these projects.

I'd like to add to what Ethan says.

Debate is an important part of politics, and debate within the cafe in general should be allowed. We have already had one overtly political thread, and there is nothing (in my view) to stop someone starting a 'Republicans vs Democrats' thread, or 'Labour vs Tories' or whatever and providing both sides can debate their differences in a civilised way that is fine.

Those who do not want to read that debate will simply avoid clicking on that thread - no problem.

However, a team recruiting thread - one that is dedicated to a particular team - is not the place to do this. A team recruiting thread should, in my opinion, be left to be a place where people of that persuasion can build on their unity - whether it be a political stance, a sense of humour, a language, a nationality, or whatever that binds them together.

Friendly teasing, maybe - but it has to be obvious it's intended in a good natured way. Natural opponents maybe will want to tease when they overtake each other in the stats - fine.

Serious disagreement however should be referred to a separate thread.

In this case, I would have been happier if the reply had been posted elsewhere, and at most a brief post in this thread saying "not everyone sees it that way - for the alternative view see link". That would have shown respect for the team's space while equally showing that there is room for difference on the story told.

It is about showing respect while simultaneously highlighting a difference of opinion.

Join us at: Democratic Party Team

Thank you Moderator8. I agree that this is neither the time, nor the place for debate about politics. So let me do as you suggest and offer some links that will offer different viewpoints (many which blog):

I hope no one was offended, if so let us start a debate in another room, not here. However, if you have questions to ask (rather than points to make) please by all means ask them, however I would prefer they concern the team, not politics issues.

I don't leave mine in memory and I run Rosetta just fine.

If just fine means it completes SOME work units OK, I guess you're right.

Your Athlon X2 (host id 765) has nearly as many WUs with client errors as it has successes - I wonder how many of those are due to you not leaving them in memory.

Please don't use a team thread to attack the basis of that team's existence.

Ok. The Honeymoon is over. When is the problem that forces users to leave the applicaion in memory going to be fixed? It was brought to the forground over 4 months ago.

I apologise profusely that my dislike of this board and it`s layout has so obviously offended you and that you feel threatened that I`ve setup a seperate board. Sorry.


The door is alway`s open and no offence is intended....

I just spent the last six hours trying to install Windows XP on my fairly new AMD Athlon 64 3200+. I am now right back where I started, Windows 2000 SP1. XP won't install, XP x64 won't install, Slackware won't install, Win2000 SP2,3,4 won't install. I had a lot of trouble getting XP x64 on my Athlon 64x2 3800+ a couple of months ago. I am fed up with AMD, I wish I had Intel inside.

Sounds you have a hardware problem. Most likely your ram

I can't conceive of a hardware problem that would allow Windows 2000 SP1 to work but not anything else. Just for drill I ran Memtest-86 v3.2 for 2.5 hours, 4 complete passes, with no errors. I just upgraded the BIOS and will retry SP4. If that works I may retry XP.

Wish me luck,
