Point of fact:Did not need to, really, since all of the looking for a "shiny badge of honor" members (i.e. PS - I might get banned) were in those two threads on those two particular forums. How one acts on their home forum is usually indicative of how one acts on a neutral help forum.
The OP that you responded to has never posted on our forum.
Of course, if facts don't matter to your definition of
, please carry on.positive and professional
PS
Reading on other forums has been instructive:
The three best quotes that summarize this entire thread:
e way that PG has decided to handle this whole thing is making me regret setting up my 4P rigs late last year. I think my future contributing to F@H depends on me not reading FF ever. Every time I get on there and see the BS posted by PG and its minions, I feel like shutting my rigs down.
and finallyIt would be nice if they were honest and upfront to their supporters.
here is my guess at what is going on...
BA is for Prof Kasson and his influenza research. I suppose they expected to expand that wu class to other projects but it never happened.
VJ (head of PG) likes GPUs and has been pushing them as long as I have folded.
They have not retooled the SMP wu's over to GPUs ... GPU and BA is where the points are currently slanted.
We know that SMP are backlogged, bruce and 7im still think BA is overvalued this means their suggestions are based on hurting BA rather than helping SMP... They are clearly not economists...or have "common sense"
There is another underlying problem with SMP ... it has gotten devalued over time and new work units were never benchmarked causing the landscape of smp to be rough...
Trying to push BA to SMP is not fixing the problem but... well....
Now perhaps professional and positive also involves honest.I remember when I talked to proteener a few months ago he said that BigAdv was a giant clusterfuck and that Pande should never have started it. He said it would end badly for both Pande and folders.
He said BigAdv was made simply to satisfy politics inside Pande labs.
Perhaps professional and positive also involves transparency and accountability.
These are the professional and positive communication I have been arguing for (perhaps in an abrasive manner)
But sometimes pulling the bandage off quickly is better than a slow peel.
