    SETI Classic stats look finalized

    If you've done SETI@Home classic at some point, you might be interested in checking your stats there again. According to the the technical news column:

    "In other fun news: We finally got around to adjusting Classic credit for users that showed obvious signs of cheating. In Classic, it was very easy to cheat the system to get credit without doing any actual work. We ended up partially or entirely removing credit for about 900 of the top 10000 users (all of which had about 20000 or more credits). Below that there wasn't enough data to show obvious signs of rampant cheating (not to mention enough time and disk space to run the checks on the remaining several million users). These adjusted credits should be sync'ed up with the BOINC databases soon if not already. Case closed."

    After removing cheaters I moved from 800 something to 600 something. And it was nice to see that many of the folks who were blowing by me aren't on the list anymore.

    Also, the class pages (where they group everybody by the day they joined) are not filtered for inactive accounts anymore (but cheaters are deleted or have a 0).

    Have a look!

    Linkages:

    top 1000 users:

    http://setiathome2.ssl.berkeley.edu/stats/users.html

    I'm 629!

    Your individual stats: remember the email address you used when you signed up

    http://setiathome2.ssl.berkeley.edu/individual.html

    or find yourself on the list of the Free-DC team:

    http://setiathome2.ssl.berkeley.edu/...am_130566.html

    or our team rank (114):

    http://setiathome2.ssl.berkeley.edu/...am_type_0.html

    The quickest way is to use the link to the team and find yourself in it.

    Bittersweet it is to bid farewell to this project and move on to another. It was fun, and I hope other projects will be as fun.

    Hmmm.
    I did it almost from day 1, after seeing an article on it in PCW UK and it`s what got me DC`ing and spending far too much on pc computers instead of C64/BBC etc gaming rigs as I normally got too much of computers at work (think DEC and later Vax and not so high speed data comms) and was still into amateur radio (and tv), another expensive hobby.
    Nice to see I`m still in the stats (from `98) though not with this nick and that the project I ended on (Ars-Anthill, pile of donated and my own bare boards and bits) is still up in the top end (5000+).
    Can`t say I miss it after all the cheating towards the end but it did bring a lot of people into both computing and DC.
    Now I hope I`m doing something a little more useful while keeping the house warm.
    Like an ol` 8086, slow but serviceable.
