my numbers are going to be shit for awhile i can't take the heat and the electric bill has been $450 a month... Will join you again soon.
Dammit, not even mine comes that high being in Miami. Are you shutting down completely or what?
I thought this contest would make our numbers really jump?
Yup, not quite going to plan in that respect. Let's hope that by monday's update we'll get a better picture of where we're at. New computers take a few days before validation is complete and numbers look normal. If any of you guys use social networking may be good idea to promote the contest. Gonna see what I can do.
I would like to rephrase my earlier post where I said I have been keeping my eye on certain teams to compare if it was just the numbers being low in general or us. We have to keep into consideration that TPU seems to have a lot of younger members who don't have full control over the bills and what can be done in respect to them. Not only that, but not all teams will have the same effect when summer comes around. We seem to keep the percentage of users returning work about the same, yet the users are returning less work.
for example, this is just off the top of my head:
hammer on - five i7's crunching, he has only one now I believe
ION - had a few rigs going, only a single rig now and not a very powerful one at that
Right there those two members could be getting us into the 1.75 - 1.8 million range considering it's summer time. Really what we need to work on is trying to recruit some new members. Like I posted over in the WCG team thread, I have been extremely busy lately and will continue to be for a bit more so if you guys can help in anyway or have any ideas on how to get more members or increase our output, shoot me a PM and we'll discuss it.
I think we've done great even if our numbers are a bit lower than expected. Summer will be over soon, we'll see what's up then.
