Never the less my offer stands. Guess we will see if Admins are willing to set bail and release him.

I'll match it !!

Everywhere has rules, and usually enforcement. (and yes this post too could be off topic, in violation and rightfully subject to deletion).

They apply to all of us, and from what I have seen the moderators attempt to be fair with them. When the banishments get lifted and behaviours have not changed, they occur again, with potential to be long/harder/permanent.

The beginner of this thread appears to be in yet another 14 day banishment. I do sincerely hope they realize during this that rules apply to everyone.

I will be dropping my check in 1 week. That is all I can do at this point in time, and honestly is about 4X what I should be comfortable with. Simply making hardware donations is restrictive in what it can be used for. Adding additional
demands/conditions/etc beyond that leans towards manipulation. So please..
be kind.

Donations, whether cash or hardware, become property of the University of California. The University administration must be responsive to state regulators, those regulators responsive to elected representatives, and elected representatives who wish to be reelected must be responsive to voters.

With that chain of people, any of who might be able to shut down S@H and/or BOINC if they got annoyed enough, it is no puzzle to me why there are relatively restrictive rules for forums running on UCB hardware and within a building which is part of UCB.

For much of the web, simply avoiding doing things which could cause legal difficulties is sufficient decorum. That can't be so here.

By rights this discussion should be moved to Politics, where you can talk more freely about the subject.
He was a good boy and a bad boy in the same day, but the rules on the left apply to all of us, Mods included.

Geek and Terror, you can still help Mark's mission and dedicate the funds towards RAM, as I understand it from Pappa's post will be needed. I am pretty sure, since he so won't be released from his vacation, he would like you to do that. Yes he can still read the forums, just can't post.

I hope I have answered a couple more questions. Any further discussion on this subject and you will have to look for it in the Politics Forum.

Now where we?

Couple more bills paid down and I will add to the pot in October after I go back to work.

More than a few for me, Thanks.

I think "Mark" would be a good name for the new Server.

I think "Mark" would be a good name for the new Server.

I think that Mark, would probably go with something like, Oscar or Squirrel or something along those lines.

Squirrel Cage is My improved suggestion. ;)

Hi Iona!

I would suggest calling the new box "Kitty"...

Mark is a splendid idea really.

Noone has done this for what i can remember in S@H history and to be honest i think it wouldn't be more than fair that the fundraisers name should be taken to name it.
But if he manages to do more fundraisers we have to adopt another naming strategy :) ... MarkI , MarkII, Sattler? :P
Time flies by and the absence of him on these forums are making it's mark.
Hope he'll be allowed to be back soon.
Misses the fun and sometimes his frustrated posts on this forums and wishes the best.

Regards Vyper

Dare I ask the obvious: why should there be talk of a person, who has contributed such a brilliant idea, having been "banned"?

Unfortunately from time to time he has adopted quite a free speech on this forums which violates the behaviour and language of this forums.

He has more or less getting banned after the seti servers has had a major breakdown or extended outages so we crunchers cannot get work to do.

I understand his frustration because I as he is a devoted seti cruncher and want our systems to be occupied 24/7 but that hasn't been the case nor promised from s@h admins and when it gets too much his temper gets overloaded and are flooding the forums with expressions of his anger :)

Well.. The latest three days outages has taken it's toll on many devoted ones here but the latest two weeks has been a no issue for me.

Servers are delivering much work so we don't get dry during the three days outage nowadays.
Hope that more people than i can enjoy filled wu caches during the outage.

Kind regards Vyper

@Mark - Thanks for the Flame Resistant kitty suits. At least they will be

Lol, you did Janice, there were enough independent witnesses, plus a pic or two.
Also thank you for the additional $100 toward some RAM.

Thank you so much to Steve and Thomas for the additional funds. So far you all have contributed $1,100 towards the needed RAM and of course the $7,000 towards the new server.

Look for more specifics once Pappa get's the info. Plus I secured a promise to get some pics in here, once the order arrives.

You guys and gurl are fantastic.

Well Uli the Ram money I picked back up post Raccoon attack (inside joke) but Hopefully I can provide some assistance soon. I did leave a small amount for a non-controlled purpose with someone that might be able to accomplish that purpose.. But it was not an additional seti donation. Just got the 1K to SETI.

So if the 1K arrived safely and it was not a drunken hallucenation.. it is all good.
