My wish list is short. I just wish for my old account to receive my credits and delete the new account I was pushed into creating. My account is or if it is working? Anytime I try to check on my credits that I have been downloading or uploading for the last 6 or 7 years. I go to my account Nurses & Friends that I have been since I entered Seti many, Many years ago. Can't someone there just transfer my new account to my old one and delete the new account and be done with it? I mean it isn't that hard to do is it? For me to lose 6 to 7 years of credits and have to start all over again I have lost the interest in all of it. I mean my account it sitting there. I have begged and pleaded with some one that monitors the message boards and all I get is Blah, blah, blah. Just transfer it over. I go and try to read where someone posted I want my old account back and I have seen several people just plain pissed. You sure pissed a lot of people off. All the posts were deleted. I supply the account number; it was there the whole time. You said you couldn’t find it but I did everything before during and after. Then it pops up finally. So my wish list is a simple one like I said. Transfer my credits to my original account and delete the newer account. I have to say if it isn't done in the next two weeks. I am stopping all my computer time and quitting and say good luck and good-bye. Too bad you lost a lot of people. I understand some cases you just cannot do things but in my situation the account is there. Just transfer all my newer credits and turn off that account and the old account is already up and running just transfer it all and credits and let it run. It sure would be nice. That is my wish list! Like I said if you cannot do that within two weeks I will say good bye and pull the plug and use that space and computer time for something else. Cause I lost the drive and interest if I have lost my old account that I see up and running and nothing will be done simple as it is.

I don't understand the problem. I see your contribution from the past 6 or 7 years right there in your account:

SETI@home classic workunits 1,397
SETI@home classic CPU time 26,274 hours


I admit, your entire paragraph wasn't well parsed so I skimmed parts, but all I saw was a bunch of repetitive pleading, but I don't understand what you want. What original account?

Once BOINC started, everyone had to create a new account with their stats carried over from the old SETI@Home. Once you carried over your stats, they are put into your account as a seperate field, to be permanently displayed. It's the same way in mine - click on my name and you can see my SETI@Home contribution.

You don't even have any computers attached to the new SETI@Home. Did you sign up for a new BOINC account but forget to download BOINC and attach to the SETI@Home project? Are you still running SETI@Home Classic? I've reviewed all your past comments on the boards and I'm still confused as to what you are asking. Please clarify.

If your crunching with a different account, there is no way to transfer the numbers or merge two accounts. The devs don't have the time to waste transferring data around as there are only a handful of them and 100 thousands accounts. Your treats of leaving are meaningless and will not produce any result. You either accept that fact or leave.
If you did not properly activate this account before starting and are crunching with a different Boinc account that was your error so it is up to you to decide how to proceed.
