Yeh !!!
In October 1969 I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;
There was no expiration date.

Shame they're wrong. It's something rather than nothing though so that's progress at least.

I seriously have no idea what they are doing. It's been now 4 years (!) since they took over the project from IBM and it's still not running even close to properly. They said everything will work better with new hosting provider, but it only got worse, even if there was not much room left for that.

I'd post this on the WCG forum but IBM shadow-banned me for no reason. Someone please tell them to eliminate shadow-bans.
I'm getting 16-thread mam1 WUs but they run better as 4t at about 21 minutes. Uses 120 MB RAM.

Anyone that was even remotely critical of the changes that were made right before IBM abandoned the project got accused of being abusive and "moderated". I'm still "moderated" (or "shadow banned") and my specific crime was saying that the new forum and badge designs looked like someone's 8 year old had drawn in them with blue crayon. No swearing, no abuse, that's it. Blue crayon. I stand by that remark to this day. That's when everything started to collapse with WCG and it's gone from the premier bio-med project in the BOINC ecosystem to an utter disaster.
