BOINC Stats
Recently, I've been meandering through http://www.boincstats.com/. They have stats on all the BOINC projects, and even have combined stats for BOINC. I'm not trying to detract from Bok's already amazing stats, but these guys may be on to something...
Check it out when you have a minute.

I am wondering were my points went before Labor Day weekend I was in 12th place with 2,7xx points now all a sudden I only have 2,100 and got kicked back to 18th Place.
Not sure how I could lose points??
Any thoughts??

I presume you are talking about the DCR stats??
The points everyone has on there are affected by everyone else due to the nature of the algorithm.. in your case you get a lot of points from your BOINC scores. But Helix_von_Smelix jumped in with a lot of boinc scores too, the effect was to reduce your showing...
For example, let's say there are two people in a project who are in the DCR..
User A has 2000 points
User B has 6000 points
In the DCR, user A will get (score / total score for users in DCR in project) * number of users * 100
i.e. (2000 / 8000) * 2 * 100 = 50 points
user B would get
(6000 / 8000) * 2 * 100 = 150 points
now user C comes in with 24000 points
A now gets
(2000 / 32000) * 3 * 100 = 18.75 (losing 31.25 points)
B now gets
(6000 / 32000) * 3 * 100 = 56.25 (losing 93.75 points)
So you can see that the effect is greater on user B who had more points previously...
Hope that helps
Bok
