  • Why Alpha Centauri has left the team....

    Hi guys,

    Most of you have noticed Alpha Centauri's withdraw from the Matroxusers Seti Group. Now it's time to tell you why.

    There were several reasons that brought Alpha Centauri to leave the team in a democratic act (both members agreed).

    1.) We didn't cut it anymore. There was a time when Alpha Centauri was a strong team, hovering at 25-35 WU's a day. Then many members left the subteam and we pretty much sucked. But after a considerably amount of time, tweaking and Hardwareupgrading we finally were back to 20-25 WU's a day. The sad is that this wasn't enough to keep ahead of some "persuers" .
    It's always the same. First you gain a rang, then someone comes out of the dark and you drop to your old rang. Mark F. does a good job, so does Charles. They would have taken Alpha Centauri's rang and we would have droped back to Place 8! For me that wasn't that i was hoping for , the other team member also thinks so.

    2.) In my new team, Planet3DNow!, are all the people that have left the Alpha Centauri SubTeam + some other friends. It feels better to crunch together in one group. Matroxusers was no option for them because some of them don't own such cards anymore (me to, changed my G400 16 MB to a Geforce2 MX 32 MB[sometimes 2x faster than my G400, mostly in OGL])

    3.) This also is the 3rd reason. I'm not a Matroxuser anymore, but have a 3DNow! CPU...

    I hope you understand and accept the teams decision.

    Of course there are some things I'll really miss.
    1.) seti.matroxusers.com. This advanced site kept the team here for more than a month.

    2.) You guys

    But, keep in mind that this 5500 WU's don't hurt you much. in about 3-4 days you'll have crunched this amount of WU's.

    So basicly you gave up! Way to go eh!
    Just a quick Q. Are you going to stop posting in the forum as well just becouse you don't have a matrox card installed in your computer?

      Bah! I haven't had a matrox card in my machine for a good while now, but I still crunch here. Hmm, good point, do people want me to leave? If so I'll just amble off to my company's team...
      I realise things are a bit different as I'm
      • Not a team, just one person.
      • One of the "persuers", with my 100+WU/day output.

      Even so you'll forgive me for thinking your reasons are a tad weak, still your choice, take care m8.

          95% of my units come from machines with matrox cards from g200 up to g400max.

          I must say that when I get round to upgrading my home pc, it won't be with a 400 as the card just doesn't cut it for home/office use at the moment. Having seen the gforce cards in action i'll prob get one of those.

          I'll keep crunching for the team, until seti stops, I don't have a computer or some one pays me to transfer to another team.

          Erm.. a seti transfer market, that gets me wondering....

            So, the reasons to change the team may be crappy, but they are the teams decision. Of course also my decision.

            And, if it's "allowed" i'll continue to post here.

              Good luck Mega. Maybe you'll reconsider? Don't be a stranger though. btw-I just bought a new vid card yesterday. Doesn't mean I'll be leaving the forums though.

              Ant, lol! That's the best thing I've heard on the forums in a long time

                    Mega,

                    If you'll be happier in another team, good for you. But I think your reasons are particularly... well, hrm... peculiar.

                    1) I'm being passed left and right. From 1 to 4 lately, still going down, and no hope for recovery any time soon. So what? Even though the (friendly) internal competition is fun, this thing is not about "winning". I sincerely hope you don't have that "if someone is better than me, I'll just leave" attitude IRL.

                    2) & 3) Who cares that you or your friends don't use any Matrox cards? We don't. Like Steve said (in the e-mail you probably *just* didn't get anymore ): "You don't NEED a matrox graphics card to participate, just have to (in some way, no matter how small!) support our cause!" So Butcher, don't be mistaken: you're welcome, and very much so. Owning, using, or ever having seen a Matrox card is a non-topic for seti@murc. Feeling part of the team is.

                    Anyway, it's your decision and I'll have to respect it. Even if your reasons are crappy.

                    Have fun,
                    Martin

                      I have been as high as 4th and dropped as low as about 15th. I had pulled back up as high as 6th before charles passed me. I will drop to at best 9th (allag and butcher's work)shortly. I'm still here.

                      Yes we have to accept your desision, but don't have to agree with your resons.

                      I'd hate to see what would happen to the forumes if everyone HAD to be useing MATROX cards, still. Just think we would have to choose between belonging to the forums or playing current games, glad I can do both, by useing an other brand in my game machine.
