Please see:

Giving WCG stars based on math poll

For more details on the new system.

Okay - the stars should be modified based on the above information~

However this thread is about Milestones and one of our own reached a new high.

It does matter to me; well the fact that we all crunch for the same cause and IMO thats all that matters. Ive been with the team for awhile, so I can interrupt and insert my opinion if I choose. Its greatly appreciated that you have 4 machines going strong, but do you really need a star or 3 above your badge? I run my Quad 24/7 ever since I found out about BOINC and have my G/F machine running when possible, the fact I made it to TPU Team Top 100 is dedication enuff for me. CP, ION and everyone else appreciates what I contribute to the cause on my limited budget and 1 star, 2 or even none above my badge is going to stop me from running the WCG on my PC.

PS Im also ~9K short of 250K and i got 2 moar gold badges incoming within 14 days for 5 gold total :rockout:

Exactly!

You show great dedication, and I am very proud of what you're doing. You may not have Mindweaver's PPD, but you have dedication, and that's what counts.

While I like the stars because it gives a little 'something extra', I think that if everyone's going to bitch about them continually, they should just be removed.

I went from 4 stars to 1 star overnight, why not sure???

But I don't care, its not about the stars.

The way the they were determined was wrong, I even had five stars, I got two now. So that's why every bodies dropped. The poll in the thread that gary started is what will determine the guidelines for the stars. It's running till next Friday.

Bow Nov 20, 2010 07:01 PM

OK, No prob:D

Don't let stars determine your dedication bro, whether one star or five we appreciate what you can churn out as far as production and every bit helps/counts. Keep up the great work, ALL of you!

I could really care less about the stars, I will be a Cruncher/Folder for life.

I really hope nobody's questioning my dedication to the team and to WCG:eek:

My goal was to help motivate people by producing a realistic goal system!

I am and will be a cruncher for life, I am sorry for any drama this has caused!:(

At least I am not, don't think anybody is questioning anybody. We just let these "stars" get to us way too much. But I believe this is settled, right?
