Hi everyone - Congratulations to bbrantley who on 15MAR05 achieved the land mark contribution of more than 1 year of run time (1:002:20:13:45) since joining team USMC on 31DEC04. If I have done the ciphering correctly, he did it in 74 days.

bbrantley joined the WCG on 17NOV04 and actually became a yearling before 15MAR05 since by then he had contributed 1:228:13:56:35 total run time with a rank of 135.

Hi gzappia/Gio Z -

First of all I want to thank you for your continued contribution to the World Community Grid, choosing to join team USMC and your active participation in various WCG forum threads.
All of your efforts are important and appreciated.

....How many servers does BBrantley use? !!!!

As for our USMC team mate bbrantley his total WCG statistics page shows that he has 9 Device Installations, but as I mentioned in a previous post that may not be the actual number of computers he has the protein folding agent running on.

Maybe you can catch up with him, his total WCG statistics which were last updated 03/17/2005 23:59:59 (UTC) show at that time he ranked 136 in Total Run Time, 102 in Points Generated and 78 in Results Returned.

By the way, our team USMC statistics which were last updated 03/17/2005 23:59:59 (UTC) show at that time, with only 12 members having returned at least one result, we ranked 171 in Total Run Time, 163 in Points Generated and 139 in Results Returned.

I have to agree with you, that's a pretty good team effort and each USMC team member deserves a Well Done for their contributions.

Semper Fi leatherneck74-84 and a long over due

Welcome Aboard team USMC to a
Staff Sergeant of Marines

I want to thank you for your significant contributions to the WCG since 11/17/04, for joining team USMC 6 days later and for your first posting on this thread yesterday.

Well Done leatherneck74-84, you were indeed our USMC team leader, number 1 contributor for a long time.

Now you are rapidly approaching a major WCG milestone achievement by becoming a yearling with at least 1 year of total run time. Your latest statistics show you have already contributed over 343 days of total run time.

Although only 12 of our 15 USMC team members have so far returned one or more result, as you have pointed out, our small team has worked together toward accomplishing the mission in true US Marine Gung Ho tradition. As I can't think of a better way to say it, let me quote you...

Congratulations to all. As a team we have amassed more than 3 years computing time. I'd say that, as always, Marines are a small bunch but they GET THINGS DONE!

Now I must apologize to you for not highlighting your achievements on this thread earlier, especially your significant WCG contributions and your long held team USMC leadership position.

It is no excuse, but this thread is the first time I have been in a forum and it has taken me a while to learn a few of the basics of how to use it and do what appears to be so easy for other more experienced and skilled people.

Once again, Welcome Aboard and Semper Fi leatherneck74-84.

Hi leatherneck74-84 -

You are making significant contributions to the WCG and our USMC team, even though it sounds like you have a full rice bowl, with graduate school and working 40 hours a week too, enjoy your break.

If you do find some spare time, why not consider adding an automatic signature to your forum posts, with a link to our team's statistics page. I think this might help recruit and make it easier for others to join our USMC team.

I want to give credit to Graham of My Online Team for showing me how to do it.

Here's what it could look like

leatherneck74-84 USMC

and here's how you can do it -

First copy the following block of text to the clipboard (or Notepad) so you can paste it into your WCG Forum Signature Box

{**==]{b]{color=blue] leatherneck74-84 {/color]{/b]{**==]{url=http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/viewTeamInfo.do?teamId=VD5RSMBR9N1]{b]{color=red] Click here to view or join team{/color]{color=blue] USMC {/color]{/b]{/url]{**==]

Then change each { to [ (you could use notepad "replace all" to make these changes easier)

Now be sure you are signed into WCG as leatherneck74-84 and then click on this link below to access your WCG forum signature box:

http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/changesignature

after you have made the changes and pasted the text into your WCG forum signature box

then click on "Preview" and you can still make any other changes you might want.

The signature block has a maximum of 250 characters

When you have it the way you want it, be sure to click on "Change Signature" to save it.

That's all there is to it - good luck and Semper Fi

Also, please encourage your friends to join the WCG, and let them know that everyone is invited and welcome to join team USMC.

Also I usually include the following code at the bottom of my posts.
