I remember long time ago a person who was so sad because he felt ignored on his teamboard, he felt that nobody noticed him. I had a longer email conversation with him about this. Now this person from India, who were quite active on this board and who joined your team, haven't you any ideas of why he suddenly stopped posting? He's apparently not posting on your teamboard, since you don't know him? Haven't you made him feel welcome and as a part of the family over there?

If I remember right, this person never posted on the TFFE team board. Actually there is only a small percentage of our active team members that have posted on that board. There is a welcome thread for all new team members at TFFE and all new members are welcomed. Who was the sad individual that felt ignored? I'll check the board threads.

You don't have to, ask cRunchy, he knows.

How come only a small percentage of your active team members post on your teamboard?

I'm not asking cRunchy, I'm asking you. You brought it up. You can PM me if you wish. But now that I think on it I believe you are referring to Monday, correct? I think the falling out on that issue happened here on the Seti boards but I could be mistaken. I'll PM Monday and he can tell me if he wishes to. It is always better to get info straight from the source, because it has a way of getting twisted and warped out of context secondhand.

What percentage of Synergy members post to the Synergy team boards? I believe the small percentage that posts at TFFE correlates to the small percentage of total BOINC participants that post on boards (team or project).

You are family according to cRunchy, you don't welcome people to the family?

I answered this in my previous post.

Ville nyde indfald Engelsk , nemlig den sprog i den SETI forum , er den kulturel følge i den Indre. Anden sprogene kunne opstille i deres moder tunge , men svarer af den overvægt vil stå lavt nemlig de hjælp Engelsk!

Are you really? I'm reluctant to believe that you was not aware, being seemingly tight with Monday to be exchanging emails. Are you really shocked or playing the at home Seti board game? If you repeat the same thing over and over again, perhaps you will believe it yourself.

It was brought up in this thread, where cRunchy has been the most loud about this, that the admins and moderators of this project should be active in attracting posters from non-English speaking countries to come and post on these boards. India was brought up as an example, by cRunchy (why I don't know, as most of them speak English pretty well there, hence their past as a member of the Commonwealth and being under the British Crown), so I ask about that Indian guy who was very active posting on the board and then suddenly disappeared. Again, cRunchy refers to his/your team as family, so I wonder why you haven't greeted your new family member from India and made him stay as an active poster.

Concerning greeting team members, I've answered this before. Refer to my post previous to the previous one. We don't make anyone stay (or even force them to post). Does your team require all members to post to the Synergy boards? Does no one ever leave Synergy for whatever reason? Will this and previous questions I've asked be answered?

Again, cRunchy's big concern is to keep people posting here because these boards provides, or it should provide according to him, a nice emotional welcoming atmosphere. He calls the admins and the moderators sterile and is terrified by the thought that this project is about to crunch numbers for a scientific project about finding radio signals from space which might indicate some intelligent lifeforms out there, and he empathize with the aliens, in case they come here, if they see how un-emotional this board is, because we don't, again according to him, actively invite people from all parts of the world to come and post here in their own native languages. I just make the analogy to your team here because of cRunchy's concern for all the people out there in the whole big world, and because he refers to his team as his family and he wants this forum to provide the same feeling of emotional familiarity here. Then I ask, how come you don't have all your members to participate on your teamboard as that big family, cRunchy thinks this board should be?

It is the participants choice ultimately. I was only questioning and answering specific portions of your "analogy". And your choice thereof and motivations.

Just because someone is a minority, doesn't mean they should be catered to. If they don't want to be a minority, they need to do something about it. It's their choice to invite their friends or find a place that they feel comfortable. There's been no hostility here toward different cultures that I've seen (nor women despite claims to the contrary), so there's no reason to go out of our way to specifically target them and say "hey! Come post here! We love ya!" If they want to post, then they will. If they don't feel comfortable, then we cannot and should not have to hold their hands until they do.

LOL.

You need to learn about a little something called Institutionalized Sexism.

Once you have read that I will point out the places where the seti forums reinforce institutionalized sexism.

Sorry I didn't understand this. I only understand German, English and Boloney though I know several other laguages ;)

He abruptly stopped posting out of no reason,and does not crunch for this project.
The man must have got bored.

Oh poo Fuzzy. I never said my team was a family that Fuzzy could attack. I said my team was "my family"...

Please stop using me as a battering ram for your own politics.

For me my team is my family. That does not mean others will feel the same thing. Other members of TFFE treat the group in their own way.

Do you dislike my affiliations?

Please do not hammer other people because of anything I said.

It seems we (cRunchy and Fuzzy) are in some kind of battle.

I don't want to fight anymore.

The meaning of Orgil's thread is more important to me..



Regards.

I find it weird that he is less concerned about the people who already have been here and are in his team than he is for the anonymous masses out there.
