Well we did it. All but one team - QMC -has been renamed. & BoincStats has got all but 600K of the credit gathered together under the new name. Nobody has left in protest.
So that's a good result so far. Hurrah!

Hello The Scottish Boinc Team

Goodbye Scotland's Seti
The poll closes in about 22 hrs (I really should be asleep) and with no votes so far for the old name it seems sure that tomorrow we will be called something else - almost certainly The Scottish Boinc Team.
Still it feels like evolution not revolution. After all "only" 9 of our 16 millions have been crunched for Seti. We need to acknowledge that other 7 million in the name.
The switch over might be messy so I will note the eve of change stats:
Last update 00:05 29th August 2006
This update 01:50 10th September 2006
Total Active Members 194 (+2)
Recent Active Members 97 (+12!!! all that emailing paid off)
Total Credit 16,455,612 ((+796,387 =72.4 K/day helped by a CPDN/BBC credit recalculation)
Overall Boinc Place 72nd (static but watch out hungarian dudes!)
Scotland's Seti isn't going, just changing and updating but I'll still miss the old name. I feel like a bride on the eve of her marriage - but I'll never find one at this time of night so why bother to think such disgusting thoughts?
