The persons in spot 3 and 5 have not crunched anything in over a month or longer Boincstats.com Rosetta Yet thier RAC is still high even though there has not been a single WU crunched in sometime - Anyone have a suggestion ? Is this something that someone can correct ? SETI.USA ID: 21454 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Usually if someone stops crunching their RAC will go down whether or not they resume crunching. Why these 2 that you pointed out havn't is a mystery to me. Been watching you charging up the stats, looks like I'm going to have to find a few more machines or get run over! <BG> Movieman ID: 21568 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Very strange with PF2002 has a total credit of 3,800 ( has not moved for over a month ) and a RAC of 30,000 without a singe WU crunched. Individual results are purged from the DB after some time so that the DB does not grow without bounds, usually this period is 2 weeks or less from the time of validation. However, the combination of RAC and credit looks suspicious to me. All 3,800 credits would have to have been granted at the same time at the first time he reported results for this to happen.
