Sorry I've been out of it guys. Like I mentioned to F$ in a PM, R.L. has been handing me my you know what lately.

I'm just going to be blunt. This team is frickin' huge. It's not as big as LAF or S.G., but it's still big. Lots of room for folks to chase whatever their goal in distributed computing happens to be.

That said and understood, I do not believe this is a group for the "personal" MM type chasing. Does that make sense? No hard feeling to anyone intended. Being #1 overall and being #1 in every project are somewhat mutually exclusive at the moment, until certain projects get their head out of the sand and grant more (or less!) credit. Slicker and Crunch3r explained the crappy code most programs are running, so I understand it's NEVER going to be apples to apples. But, it could be a heck of a lot closer than it is now.

When "Joe Blow" newcommer to BOINC looks at a stats page such as Free-DC or BOINC Stats or insert-stat-page-here- and goes hmmmm...what team should I join? Is He/she looking at overall points? Highest RAC? MMs? Etc, etc. We need to find out what they are attracted to, and TARGET THAT. Because we need to grow this team.

Perhaps I was too vague at the beginning. I feel this group is the "BOOST SETI.USA" group. It won't be for everyone. You've got to be willing to back off on a personal project to crunch for a team goal in this group. It's all about helping the team achieve a goal in a specific project, or lift us in the overall stats.
It's for people like me, who will crunch the highest paying project(s) to lift our RAC until what time someone contacts me and says "We're about to lose our #1 in ABC" at which time I will switch over and crunch that until we've either won it back or lost it to the point we give that one up for good.

For strategy like this, I would prefer that we had a TEAM ONLY forum, because it's going to get down to ....do we give this up for that... or, etc. We don't want / need other teams to know that data on us!

Am I stepping on anyone's toes yet?
