I'm not sure quite what you mean, but if you're regretting that you contributed a lot of points to RDF that seemed to 'vanish', keep in mind that you can still have your legacy credits as well as your membership restored in RDF as soon as David, the project managers, and I can share enough information (archived team ID#s, etc.) to do so. You may have to manually rejoin SETI and/or Einstein, but there's a possibility you'll be automatically reinstated. Please don't regret your contribs - even if the credits had not been restored, the science was not lost and that's BOINC's real raison d'etre--the stats compilations are only a numerical representation (conceived by BOINC's David, with whom I'm working) of the aforementioned contributions that were designed to introduce a little friendly competition and further incentive to 'crunch' more WUs.
I'd really like to reconstitute the RDF team, and have been working to do so since around Tuesday/Wednesday; getting the attention of some of those people is hard, but our collective 15,000,000 (and other millions) of credits spoke loudly enough to get them to implement action to reverse the vandalism. Often, they let credits slip by the wayside, but this was a large/special/pertinent enough case that they wish to make an example of it to discourage further sabotage and endangerment of scientific objectives. Please be assured that your contribs were not in vain and not something regrettable - in fact, congratulations and thank you for what you've accomplished.
Warm regards,
StandardbredHorse

I don't doubt that my log in was used, which would be the only way for that to happen. So yeah it will look like I did something. However I think my actions in other areas will show that is not something I would ever do. But that is not evidence. I don't even know what the log in is anymore. Are you the one that posted this on Sam Harris?
Yeah I am willing to help just don't know what help I can be since I have had nothing to do with BOINC and RDF in over a year. I will PM you with my phone number and we can talk more. Also if there is someone you can forward my info to I would be more then happy to talk to them.
I sent you a PM with my phone number.
Now this makes me wonder about the teams I set up for the reason project! I don't want to be the founder! The Staff also would have the log in....and in hind sight that might not be a good idea. But again I just wanted to start BOINC for the reason project I am not going to be active.
Let me know what's going on man!

As a status update for those who have been patiently waiting: David from BOINC and SETI has got this on his to-do list, but requested some more info from me and also asked that I contact OBC and see if it could be changed another way before he got deep into altering the stats databases. The last week or so, I've been really sick as well as dealing with some personal issues (newly-diagnosed cancer in the family, car troubles, will spare you all the details). It's being dealt with, but now that I'm kind of back, I will check in and see what's happening and when we might expect our teams to be restored. Probably David and the SETI/Einstein/LHC project managers are waiting on me, since they wanted to hear back whether I could work it out with Observed by Clouds because David will be fixing most of it, but the project admins will also have to do some work, so I'm sure they won't do anything until hearing back.

No problem here man! Let me know what you guys need and I will do it.
