It's not that I can do any harm to these dump files from DB, so I don't understand the forbidden message in a project which is known to endorse open sources.

I could (and still can) access the stats files in BOINC Beta.

Is it true what Sasha Pfalz writes on his homepage on June 24th - http://www.saschapfalz.de/frameset.php?LANG=en - that boinc.dk is SAH2's more or less official stats page?

I certainly hope not. I like very much Sascha's online statistics, and I think there should be a free choice.

Whats to say we don't have a free choice, if you don't like boink.dk Stats Page then use Sascha's Page....

My point being exactly that as the stats are concealed and unadmissible and created in such huge size neither Sascha nor I for that matter are able to make our own stats.

I sure hope so. I don't think it's in the spirit of SAH2 to hide stats files for us ordinary users, even though I have been beta testing since November, 2003 and made some rather good statistics based on the files in BOINC Beta.

Admit it: users need to be encouraged by good, simple, and understandable stats. :-)

For instance: I don't know who got the very bad idea to sort members in team pages according to the date they signed op for SETI Classic. It's so #4%&@ hard for a founder to find the new members.

The members in "my" team are really complaning about that.
