Leaving UBT for WCG

[chriscambridge]

Seeing as there is practically no support for WCG in UBT I have decided to now join another team for this project.

At this time I have no plans to move to another team for the other projects.

Hi Chris

Thanks for the heads up.

It is a shame that WCG hasn't got more UBT members enthused about their project...it's certainly more worthwhile than some other projects, that's for sure...

regards
Tim

Thanks Tim,

To be honest the reason I have been able to spend sooo much money on new hardware is because a relative of mine died of Cancer and left me some money, and hence it is important that I (now) crunch projects that help towards curing these fatal illnesses such as World Community Grid.

I have processed nearly 32 years runtime for UBT on WCG (in just over 2 years), so I think I have done my bit for the team on this project.. (forgetting the extra that I also did on my other account for UBT/WCG).

If UBT were to become the #1 UK team for WCG in the future then I would of course come back, but for now I just want to help get the UK as high as possible within BOINC rankings on this project.

I have always done WCG tasks regardless of any team positions & points (until very recently - but that's only because the PC has turned up its toes and I can't run BOINC - or anything else for that matter - at the moment ) For me it has never been about rivalry, just trying to help...

I don't think there are many people who crunch for BOINC who are not trying to help.

Competition is a human trait and especially such when you reward people with credits, and then display these within a list, as well as have people in teams.
