1. You're on the BOINC forums. BOINC started as an idea in 2001 and has been under development since August 2002.

2. The Seti forums can be reached through https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/sah_community.php.

3. Seti Classic didn't start until May 17, 1999.

4. Seti@Home as it is now was migrated to BOINC in May 2004, and Seti Classic ceased to be in January 2006.

5. All accounts are unique, are based on the email address. While CroNO@snIp.fUd may look different from crono@snip.fud, the Seti server will see both as the same and thus one unique address.

6. Typos in addresses will make them a new address. Email addresses are not check on validity.

7. You have probably got more than one account at Seti, with the newest registered in 2002. Or your memory of 'the facts' is off.

In any case, we here at the BOINC forums can not fix your problem for you. Other than that the BOINC server runs in the same server cabinet as the Seti servers -and that all run from a Berkeley address, and that Seti is one of the projects running under BOINC- we have not much to do with the daily ins and outs of Seti. Any problems you have with the project you have to take up with the project.

So, your Seti registration date is 8 September 1999.

As for Seti's history, read http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/classic.php:

In June 1998 Anderson developed the client and server code in more or less its final form (this time based on an Informix database) and developed the graphics on Windows. Kyle Granger was hired to flesh out the Windows version (screensaver and installer) and Charlie Fenton ported the client software to Macintosh OS 7/8/9 and later OS X (Charlie eventually had a large role in all parts of the system).

In May 1999, after several months of testing, we launched the project.

As for the veiled insult over on the Seti forums, it shows more about you than me. Hope you have a fruitful rest of your life, with other things to worry about, than what the moderator on the BOINC boards answers you.

Jes Jord be cool or cool off man....no one...and not me in particular had any remarks directed at you. You are... or so it seems... are hyper sensitive to what people write. One of the most difficult things is to read into what people write... they may not be aiming at you or your ability just aiming in the general direction. Another thing is that we out here in never-never-land have no idea of the complexity of your job or your contributions to it. So just shrug it off and chalk it up to our inability to understand your position or your application which you obviously cherish. I note that you found me in 1999 good job and keep it up. Smile your on Candid Camera of life and you need 6o enjoy it.
