Well, I've waited a long time to add my thoughts and comments to the issues that have finally become somewhat public. As Kaitlin said I'm also very disappointed in this team.
There are two major camps inside this team who want control of the team and its directions. I belive that in general both camps do want the Team to be successful. I think everyone knows by now that there is TC's camp and SpeeDj's camp. Both camps have a large following of members including heavy hitters and long term members. Both sides have made plans and performed actions in secret. For me the real issue is which side started making actual Team changes without consulting the team membership? TC's side did. Regardless of good intentions the proper thing to have done would have been to bring your concerns out in the open and ask for team input or voting on the issues at hand. NOT starting making changes based on your wishes alone!
I joined this team due to the time Kris took to email with me after I had a major run-in with Daniel. If Daniel had not left I would not have joined the team. It bothers me greatly to hear Kris say that this team is only affiliated with Overclockers.com because we want to be and if we want to change that is all up to us. That is true of the individuals who comprise the team but not of the Team itself. The www.overclockers.com SETI Team is a direct part of the overclockers.com web site and forums. Anyone who does not wish to be affiliated with that can, at any time, leave to join another team or start their own team. You can't just hijack this team and take it away!
I joined the www.overclockers.com SETI Team. If this is no longer that team then I am no longer a member of it. I will continue as best I can to participate for overclockers.com SETI Team but will no longer participate in this NEW team. There are several major issue that need addressing and I will watch to see how they are handled.
1. The name change must be addressed ASAP!
2. The leadership. TC had no right to "demote" J as a co-captain on the team web page and install himself and Basher in his place.
3. Team affiliation with overclockers.com. The original team will always be...is this a new team or the original team?
I will watch and see.
