when you leave, the credits you crunched aren't deducted from the team, and when you move to a new team, whatever credits you have don't get added to the team's total. 



Xaak is right.  When I left my other team and joined TSWB, my CPDN credits were the only ones that came with me to TSWB.  My old team kept the credits I crunched while I was on their team. 

For this reason, I don't like Kevin's proposal.  As a team, we would suffer from someone doing this: Team 3DNow would keep any work you do for them.  It would not come with you and get added back to TSWB if you returned to us.

(For anyone wondering, we had a falling out as a team, thus my change to TSWB.  No regrets or hard feelings, I'm quite happy here and the person who caused the uproar has since apologized to those of us that left.)

No wonder you fit in! That's how this team started, except our team had a falling out with the website that hosted us.I don't anticipate any apologies forthcoming though.

Let me add, on our former team we did do this sort of thing with the classic versions of SETI@Home, though not for another SETI team. We would have challenges against AnandTech, or OcUK and the members of the other teams at our old site would run SETI@Home for a while to help our production, and then members of our team would run Folding@Home or UD as payback. The payback never seemed to satisfy them though, even if it was twice the CPU they gave us. For some reason they continue with their model of several clubs on one website, all doing different things and not allowed by management to cross the boundaries of the co-existing teams, although when there were only a handful of distributed computing projects it was a model which was envied.

Re: Plea for help  (United States)
I have to agree with everyone else.

And yes, I am still alive and around for those who were wondering where I went.  All of my cycles still belong to this team, whether I post/chat or not.  This is my home and my cycles will go nowhere else.

Good luck in your quest for 15mil though.

If you can't beat'em, join'em. Then beat'em.

Great to see you Slider! Maybe we need to do roll call.
