Hi there! I'm Sellyme, a co-manager of Brony@Home, a fairly large cross-project distributed computing organisation. Roughly a year ago, when Brony@Home was exclusively a Folding@Home team, the mylittlepony subreddit held a charity competition against r/thelastairbender. One part of this charity competition was on World Community Grid.
(We won convincingly. Just saying.) Anyway, a while after this happened, I talked with the owner of the WCG team, RainbowCrash, about a merger. We sorted everything out and made an agreement that the pre-existing pony WCG team would become an official part of Brony@Home, as part of Brony@Home's extension into other DC projects. However, recently, as Brony@Home has grown, this has presented a bit of a problem: many users have searched for a team named "Brony@Home" (which all of our other DC teams are named), and not found one. As such, one user by the name of Sunmist2, decided to create one. We didn't realise that this was a problem until too late. We've now edited the official team name to include "Brony@Home" for those who are searching for it in the teams list, but obviously Sunmist's one is still there, and is probably more likely to attract clicks. This is obviously potentially very detrimental to the team, and it's clear that none of the users on the "fake" Brony@Home team realise that it's not actually the official team. TL;DR: Is it possible for this team to be merged with this team, or have the team nuked from orbit and have the users team affiliations transferred over? Thanks! |
