| Re: [OT] New Members: How did you hear about TD? I was trying to get a Gmail account when they were at a premium and AndrewJ made a deal with me that he'd send me an account if I agreed to crunch. Looking back I realized I was coerced.  | |

| Re: [OT] New Members: How did you hear about TD? That means I have to think waaayyy back to when I was just a lad... hmmmm...
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!

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.

3 edits | I believe i heard about distributed computing like SETI and UD on The Screensavers in 2001. 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.
