1) Message boards : Cafe SETI : Predictor is banning members today. (Message 535697) Posted 23 Mar 2007 by DoctorNow Post: Yes it is the project director who is doing it. I was going to crunch more there as I have not for a while but not any longer. Sorry Ray, have to correct that a bit. It's not the project director, it's the project administrator. ;-)

2) Questions and Answers : Wish list : Suggestions for making BOINC better (Message 89782) Posted 23 Mar 2005 by DoctorNow Post: Hello! I've just discovered that SETI@Home Classic will be closed in the next few days/weeks? This is horrible! I like the classic version much more than the boinc version, because: 1. The statistics of each user are much more detailed, as in the boinc stats there is not even a total amount of WU's, only the credits (I didn't have a clue how much I really crunched at this time for BOINC). 2. In the classic versions there are milestones to reach and to every milestone I received a pretty certificate. I've crunched 2000 WUs and I wanted to get the 2500-milestone, but at this time it seems, that I can never get it when classic is closed. 3. The add-on SETI-Monitor has a cache function and allows to regulate how many WUs I can store to my HD, so that I don't need to connect every 4 hours or so to get new WUs. This isn't implemented in BOINC and yet there is no equivalent add-on to do this. This would be a perfect function in BOINC in addition to all other BOINC-projects. 4. In addition to the stats, I wonder what signals I discovered. There are about 100 WUs out of my 2000, which SETI-Monitor has declared interesting, but in the stats there is nothing about it, though the official SETI-explanation of the stats declares, that they would be announced, if significant signals were discovered. This must be an improvement for both projects. I hope, this points will help the developers to create a better BOINC-version ans -stats. Otherwise it is not acceptable for me to stop the classic project. Thx DoctorNow
