Re: ECO & GDC

I'm not sure what to say about this other than I'm sad to see our Team being dissolved.

Thanks KeysCapt for being our leader. Sorry you pulled the short straw in having to make the announcement.

The team does not necessarily have to be disolved, unless we want it to be. We just will not be supported by the site. There are other possible options.
We can throw in the towel,
Throw our lot in with another established team,
Stay a team and see if we can get the DSLR/BBR removed from the name - we would have no way to get new members or share information, but we would satisfy the site management and sever our ties.
Look for another site to support the team,
We can all go our individual ways.
Or we can look for another another environmental project that the site would fully support.

I've been doing eco clicks since November 2001, and this was the team that introduced me to other DC projects, so it will be sad to see it go by the wayside.

Closest project to being environmental is ClimatePrediction.Net, for which we have a team already, which, last time I checked, called this forum home. Of course, it requires your CPU time, but isn't that what distributed computing is about?

I cannot speak for site management, but in my opinion, there's no reason the team name has to change, unless simply to avoid confusion.

The only change is the discontinuation of site sponsorship, again in my opinion. And of course, a place to post your clicks.

I'm with KeysCapt on that one. I do not see a need to change the name.
