So thanks for posting!

It's a good way to measure how we can step up our marketing efforts as, babacher See Profile stated.

•Do we have Team Discovery in our "sigs" here onsite?
•Do we tell folks about what we do?
•Did we read the newsletter here: »BBR Distributed Computing ?
•Did we find us on a search engine?
• Did we see the store on CafePress?
•Did the "spinner" appeal to us?
•Did we find us from a DC forum like Grid or Rothenberg?

Knowing where our potential new user base is coming from helps us target our goals more on seeking new recruits

Of course we can't posture outside of this forum @ BBR, but we can link in our sigs, etc.

If anyone needs help with creating a sig onsite here...just ask any of us that have one. We'll be happy to help. :)

I stuck my toes in the crunching waters with the now defunct Team Endeavor and found both the good and the bad of a team effort - Mostly good. When TE was wrapping up it's first phase, I sensed the writing on the wall, knew that I was seriously hooked on crunching, and started lurking in this and Team Helix's forum for both a good project and a good group to be with.

To me - the goal of this team's projects were the right choice and hanging in this forum felt as comfy as putting on your favorite pair of jeans. So here I am.

It sounded interesting, distributed computing, so i decided to check it out. At that time, i thought to myself, "Finding aliens? Sounds stupid, and a waste of resources", so i went straight for UD. So then i ran UD for a few months, and after numerous plugs by Leo on TSS about DSLR, i finally joined this site. During the first few months, i went around the forums and noticed that there were DSLR DC teams. I was pretty sure that 1 team was for UD, but i was too lazy to read around so i put off joining till sometime after. I'm guessing around 5 months after joining DSLR, i read the DC forums and saw that UD had a team here, so i joined.

I initially came to BBR, then DSLR, in a work related capacity helping customers in the 5-state area with DSL connection problems. I joined because it seemed like a good idea and the cool spinner was a bonus.

Shortly after joining I was diagnosed with malignant melanoma. The support, thoughts and prayers I received from the members was phenomenal. When the biopsy came back benign, my doctor was completely shocked. He said, "I would have bet one hundred dollars it was cancerous." Thanks, Doc. :uhh:

I believe this team's support played no small role in this. It convinced me that this is a group of very special people and maybe there was another reason why I found myself here besides just a silly little spinner.

said by nxl5150 See Profile :

I humbly suggest that all members share their stories as well if babacher See Profile doesn't mind.
Not at all!

I was crunching SETI@Home about six years ago. After some months, I read that there was a cancer DC project (UD) that offered cash prizes to the best participants - I think it was $50/month. Shortly thereafter, they stopped giving away cash, but I kept doing it anyway because it was a good cause.

About a year later I was looking to get broadband internet, and found DSLReports.com. After a few months of hanging out at DSLR, I stumbled across the Team Discovery forum. That was the first time I knew there were DC TEAMS! At first I was confused by the team concept, but after reading in the TD forum for a while I signed up.

I think that was October of 2001. I've never looked back, and I'm glad to be here.

I crunched for Team USA with UD at first because I couldn't find a more appropriate team for myself since I didn't really do much "chatting" online... I think I was just looking through the forums here because I had just hooked up with DSL and found these "Clubs"... sounded fun and the people were nice.

Never thought I'd end up making friends, building stats, and becoming addicted to crunching for the cause!

A close friend informed me of the concept behind SETI and I thought it was absolutely intriguing. A few months later, I found that DSLR had a SETI team. When I looked further, I was surprised to find that there were other DSLR DC projects out there as well.

Soon I found Team Discovery, and decided to join because I supported and respected its goal. That was almost four years ago, and I certainly haven't decided to give up!
