I'm sure you can find some other hobby/project that will give you just as worthless a validation

With new WU assignments I have gone from over 3000 WU credits a month to less than 2500 & falling.
As a result I'm about to pull the plug on my efforts for SETI. I guess I'll leave it to the megawu folks to do the work.

If credits is all that important to you then I wish farewell and good luck in your future endeavors. I'm sure you can find some other hobby/project that will give you just as worthless a validation. You could have just left without saying a word.

For the majority of Seti denizens credits may be fun, but are very much secondary to the goals of the project.

Did they have A major meltdown in servers?

Several issues have compounded the problem, but primarily it seems the major issue is the high traffic generated by clients requesting work more often due to shorter work sent out. Also, some new AP work was created after having a period of no AP, which are a bit larger than the normal workunits, and there's a lot of fast/hungry crunchers that are asking for that work as well.

To add to that, it seems that every time the requests die down, the staff have their weekly server outage to perform their routine tasks, which means holding off the masses until they are back up. Then everyone comes rushing back in for more work and the cycle starts all over again.

the sah_assimilators are running, Workunits waiting for assimilation 2,331,964 at time of post... see it the queue decreases...
