Hey guys, newbie here. Glad to have found a new home.

Did ~22+ years of CPU time then

I Guess it's not too big of a deal. I think i'm over it.

Not wasted BeGodlike

It's great here.
The people have been wonderful.
You'll enjoy it and you'll see lots of your old friends.

We now know what the first story was, but the newsletter circulation's likely a lot smaller than it would have been.

Didn't intend to be at odds with the purpose of your thread. I think it was a very good idea to give people a place to feel comfortable during the transition and to feel some camaraderie afterwards. After all, a whole bunchin' lot of folks devoted a lot to the Grorg.

I did create a thread, now buried on page 10^120th power for the purpose of sharing info about what happened and venting all the pent up feelings that I KNOW are still out there - see History of the Grorg - what happened?. It just didn't seem appropriate to put my comment there when I was responding to a post here. Had I gone on a ranting, frothing diatribe I would have put my comments there and just posted a link to/from this thread.

I understand the desire to put what happened at Grorg behind us. If you think that everything went as well as could be expected and don't harbor any negative feelings about it - that's wonderful. But for those of us that don't have such a forgiving nature and take a more negative view of the attitudes and motivations of UD, the healthiest thing to do is get those feelings out and share them with others who understand.

If you're angry about something - anything - the worst thing you can do is try to suppress it. And if you're not angry, then the rest of us won't mind if you ignore us.

Personally, I will do my best to put any negative comments in my Grorg thread. But for short responses that aren't more than simply a bit backhanded, I don't think putting them here should be at all disruptive or intrusive.

My transition from grid.org to WCG, while very frustrating at first, has allowed me to feel part of a community instead of just crunching on my own. The boinc agent has also allowed me to bring two linux boxes into the fold, including a fairly new machine which significantly increases my previous grid.org contribution. I also added a machine this weekend which I am an admin on, but had not previously used when it is idle (about 16 hours a day), largely due to a comparison cargod01 made between P4 and Xeon processors. I expect this one dual Xeon 3.2ghz machine might make a "slight" change to my prior averages.
While there is frustration at the thought that the last 6+ months at grid.org may have been just spinning wheels, this thought makes me that much more committed to adding crunchers to the WCG fold and making a difference here.
