I’m not complaining but…

It seems to me that with the transitioner backlog now down to 0 hours that the in progress and waiting for validation numbers should be dropping. They are not, in fact those numbers are still rising. Without more information from the developers on what is happening at the Berkeley end a diagnosis is difficult. Are all our client computers simply overwhelming the old Berkeley servers with completed work units? Maybe! If this is so is there another solution other than Berkeley shutting down every Wednesday for 3 hours to do a database backup?

Why are so many of our brothers and sisters having to resort to proxy’s to contact the Berkeley servers when they were not having problems before? Since there has been no info from Berkeley on this Tigher could you post on whether you and your helpers were able to figure anything out on this and your conclusions? I am very interested in this problem. Thanks!

Why did the cheerleaders get their pom-pom’s burned? They didn’t do anything except try to keep some positive attitudes going. What’s wrong with that? A person with a positive attitude will go much farther in life than one with a negative attitude. By the way I still have my pom-pom’s. I do understand that some members see the need to point out the problems to the developers. If you feel that need please do so but I’ll bet the developers are aware of most of the problems long before we are!

Bottom line is that I see a great need for one of the developers to post some information officially, on this site concerning problems and what is being planned to address those problems. And I mean posting at least 2 or 3 times per week. Not once every 6 to 8 weeks or longer as has been the custom with little to no real information. My feeling right now is that Berkeley, Boinc/Seti are operating like a person stumbling around in the dark with nowhere to go, no direction and no plan. Matt and JM7 are here almost every night posting and answering questions. They are very informative and greatly appreciated by us on the forums but I am sure they are here on their own time and not being compensated. An official source is needed with timely information on the problems being experienced in the system and the solutions.

And another thing…the plan to entice the crunchers at Classic to make the move here, now, is not going well. The suggestion is being taken as insulting at the Classic site as well it should be. If Berkeley is indeed waiting for the 2 billion mark for advertising and marketing purposes, maybe we should be going back to Classic and make that goal happen sooner. After all, we benefit from Classic’s demise, not the other way around. Something to think about!

Like I said, I’m not complaining but….thanks everyone for listening!

I observed that also, and agree there might be a problem.

My (conspiracy)theory is that some isp's are blocking them(Berkeley servers)to regain some bandwidth.

I still have mine!!

Maybe we should all go on strike?

My sentiments exactly, and I'm still doing Classic along with Boinc.
