S[email protected] is just "over" until the new upgrade. Why bother.

Well, I joined more than 3 years ago, and I do not consider it over.
I believe some brute processing of the DB is going to catch cheaters and remove useless data which could obscurs the science.

Furthermore, I will consider joining any other DC projects only if I can trust that the collective work of so many is not trashed by the act of so few.

I just noticed my rank jumped about 60 places over night. They dumped some heavy hitters it seems...

Maybe that's why I moved up so quickly. Last time I checked I was around 825 and when I'm looking now it's 787.

That's sooo sad!!!! I can't believe that there are people out there who whould do something ike this!!! I personally feel that is was/is someone who had a major account who was deleted. I just don't understand some people???
