I belong to one team and have achieved 29% of my model. Now I have left that real-life club and joined another. I would like to join the new club\'s BOINC Team. How do I do this? Do I \'unjoin\' from the old one THEN join the new one? or join the new one and THEN unjoin from the old one? And what happens to my 29%? does it disappear into the ether or join itself to the new team? |

First quit your current team, in \"Your Account\", and then join the new team from the team\'s page. "We have met the enemy and he is us." -- Pogo Greetings from coastal Washington state, the scenic US Pacific Northwest. |

Your points never go away. A duplicate amount of points that went to the team while you were connected to that team stays. The new team will get points from the time you join them. It was done this way because in the old days people \"shopped teams\", and caused teams with lots of points to fall, and new teams take their place. Team leaders then would \"buy users\". in different ways. So to keep things cleaner, they went to this type of format.

I know it\'s as BOINC-rule. But how do you explain the fact that a few days ago a new member of my team brought us a gift of over 3k Cobblestones he had in his old team? I think that CPDN/BBC-CCE/SAP does not follow this rule... |

Hi Poo! It also depends on the stats site. If you are looking at a 3rd party site, they may be doing their own calculations. I would suggest looking at more than one status site/page. Look at the local CPDN pages. I have not tested this over here, but I thought it was across the board.

I think it may be different here. But the messages about it are way back in 2004, and probably buried deep by now. (And it may have been discussed on the php board, and not here.) |

The climate sites (BBC, CPDN, SAP) never implemented the \'leave credit with old teams\' option, mostly because it hasn\'t been a major issue. More team oriented projects (such as SETI) did this to prevent team members from blackmailing the team. I'm a volunteer and my views are my own. News and Announcements and FAQ |
