Then everyone abandoned the teams with the lowest TC and transferred to the new team. #24 out of nowhere. ID: 43577 · Rating: 0 · rate: /

It's still manipulating the system to produce artificial results. More a bit unsportsmanlike I would say..... Don't drink water, that's the stuff that rusts pipes ID: 43621 · Rating: 0 · rate: /

As something very unusual to happen in BOINC I am interested to see how you do and wish you the very best. ID: 43624 · Rating: 0 · rate: /

Whilst we may have our own personal opinions about this, let's make sure that this doesn't turn into a Team Poland bashing thread.

Whilst we may have our own personal opinions about this, let's make sure that this doesn't turn into a Team Poland bashing thread. This tidbit was pointed out to me earlier by someone who doesn't really post here, and though I find it a bit awkward, I guess whatever floats the boat works OK for me.... But I agree with Chris that this should go by the wayside since no rules have been broken. Life is too short anyway. ID: 43912 · Rating: 0 · rate: /
