In doing a bit of research as to why we keep "losing" work units on the Halo SETI team, I ran across this pair of tidbits from the SETI@home Technical News Reports:
June 16, 1999
Due to popular demand, we reset the group credits (CPU time, #results) to the sum of the credits of all people belonging to the group.
June 15, 1999
Accounting for groups has not been working correctly. Credit was being added when people originally joined, but not for their work thereafter. This is now fixed, but we can't restore the missing credits.
This might suggest what's happening to us here. Sounds like another reset is in order... maybe Mad Max (the group founder) should send a note to the SETI folks?
Just a thought...
