If anyone had lower than expected point production for March 14th, especially if you had a negative point total for the day, please post here and describe what you found. If your FAH username is different than your forum name, let us know that, too. :)

I like this place (http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_list.php?s=&t=93) for stats best.

No problem ...it's an awesome stats page!
My points seemed to flatline on that day but nothing looks suspicious to me.
Somone on the team apparantly took a hit. Any way to find out whom?

Looks like it could be someone called hbi1000 - last page right at the bottom,
usually it's Leonardo_Test_2 at the bottom :)

You nailed it, Kentigern. :respect:
Looks like he would pretty much account for all the lost points that day. :(

Now the question is why the major adjustment?

:wave: Hi Prof,
Check out this link http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=userpage&teamnum=93&username=hbi1000
It looks like he/she has lost all their points/wu's, even though it shows processors working and wu's recently turned in. Also his/her name is entered twice.
I do know that he/she made the 100k plaque on or about Valentine's Day this year, previous milestones were 75k October (24th 'ish) 2006 - 50k July (14th 'ish) 2006 - 25k August (4th 'ish) 2005
Someone, has certainly made a faux pas with our stats :(

I've PM'd him to see if he can think of anything. I'm also going to try and see if the people at Stanford can shed any light on the subject.
I don't recall ever seeing anything like this before. We did have a day where most of us saw a big increase in points after Stanford discovered a glitch on one of their stats servers. To have one guy on the team suddenly disappear from view (sort of) all of a sudden is quite odd... :confused:

Stanford has taken away points before. Only 1 (huge) circumstance that I can recall though.

Could you provide any details? :)

Last one I remember was the Yulianova trojan which was a Pr0n download from some torrent sites, which lost team eggroll one members points though no blame was attached to the team itself.

Some guy installed it at work on a bunch of machines I believe without full concent of the user knowing it basically. I think he made it into a 1 click batch program and it somehow left his hands and got spread farther than the actual machines he installed it on. People complained, got traced back to him, Stanford scratched hundreds of thousands of points.

I remember that ...doesn't seem so long ago but it's been at least 2 years or more. Wasn't it incorporated into the google bar at one time ...or something like that? If I remember that one correctly it defaulted to someone getting points and there was hoorah about that too. Don't know what became of it though.

Google made it an option to install it in their toolbar and they all went under their own google team. Not the same thing.

Nothing weird here, if you don't count the stats hitting 0 points during most days. Wish i had more than 1 cpu. :(
