Message 564498 - Posted: 10 May 2007, 12:14:40 UTC - in response to Message 564379.  

Every time I click on Apr. 9, 2002 (or almost any date for that matter), I get a blank page. Am I missing something?

All the tables after a certain date, February 2002 or thereabouts IIRC (found by trial-&-error), are empty.


I guess that would explain it. LOL

Sorry folks, I forgot to mention that but it was posted to help those of you who where unsure of your start/joining date.
I am certain that it has served it's purpose well in that respect.

Strange! They could always go look at their accounts. You could even do that under Seti Classic.

Well it has been a long time. I join this club June 9. Looked at the old stats. Average cpu time per work unit was 20+ hours. Today it's about 30 mins. 6,500 people joined that day. I wonder how many were members of the Planetary Society. That is how I learned about the project, in the Planetary Society news letter. Not sure what I was running back then, probably a Cyrix 6x86. I still have that computer. Covered it with plaster then chiseled away to make it look like it was carved out of stone. Then painted it with faux stone paint. Makes a great end table.

Most of my time the project has run on just one computer. But about 2 years ago I added 2 P4 that ran only Seti under Linux. Now, I am running 11 computers. Three Macs. (My wife is a mac person.) The rest are PC’s. Six of the PC’s do nothing but crunch. I am now #3 in the class of June 9 and have a little ways to go to be #1. In the class of June 9 of course. I don’t think I will overtake Nez. Still I am #55 overall, so that’s not too bad. Happy Seti birthday to all.

How to spot a 3rd April 1999 FAKE:

Look at their profile and look out for 2 lines.

SETI@home classic workunits
SETI@home classic CPU time

A fake won't have these 2 lines.

A REAL 3rd April 1999 user will have XXX number of WUs & some CPU time.

Another 8 years club member (in a few weeks), from France.
I remember when I installed Seti@home classic on my school computers, I was so happy when we received our first PII-400 !!

I've got a couple of weeks until 8 years here - I've not been active continously, but it's still a good milestone :)

Evolved from a Pentium 233mmx with 128mb ram to the two boxes I have currently :)

Today is my 8th anniversary! Congrats to all the other May 15th 1999 crunchers, I think it's one of the most popular sign up dates. I remember hearing about SETI on a Discovery Channel broadcast and couldn't wait to start looking for ET myself.

Congratulations to our team member Karsten Vinding. He has continuously run SETI since May 18, 1999 – except during SETI and his own hardware/electricity outages, of course.


Kind regards
Kirsten

Started crunching 2 Jun 1999 with Classic, a couple years without internet connection for my beloved PII-233 that was updated to an PIII-800 and summer 2006 brought more power as Athlon64-3500...
When I have the money, I will invest to an quad-core Opteron or two...time will tell...
I am honored to soon-to-be a part of the 8 years club : )

Just joined the 8 year club. 1999-05-17 May, 17, 1999.

There are 3031 crunchers that just had a birthday -

http://www.boincstats.com/stats/user_stats.php?pr=sah&date=926899200&st=0#2

Not sure if this is the largest joining date, but I am sure it is up there in the top for crunchers that joined on this date - 8 years ago.

Crunch ON!

I'm pretty sure I'm coming up on the 8 year mark, and before Seti, I was crunching for distributed.net, and Prime95. I think I started dnet around rc5-56.

Edit: Just saw my 14-May-99 date. yep, 8 years :D
