What's up with Overclocking?

I had a WU finish up at home about 8:30 last evening. It showed up on the F@H site by 10:00 but still hasn't shown up on Overclocking.

Evidently I have made it into the top 10% of all folders in less than 5 months. Sounds like a lot on inactivity to me.

Extremeoverclocking.com gets their stats directly from the Stanford data servers. Based on the number of posts on the F@H forum there may have been a hiccup in verifying the completed work units. I do not know why a credited WU would appear on the F@H site but not on EOC.

Folding Freepers has about 430 folders who have posted a work unit. Many of the names are my old carcasses from a couple of years ago.

In many cases you will see typos in names that are not caught for a while (see kluta_dohanger, etc). Another number are folks that folded for a while, got a new computer and never reinstalled F@H. A few have joined other groups or BOINCed themselves.

Then you have the small group that has been banned from FR, and they drop off. Hey, it happens both ways. Sometimes folks are banned and they keep on folding for the FReepers.

EOC and other stats sites get their numbers from a comma delimited text file that Stanford puts out several times a day.

Sometimes the stats on Stanford's site will be accurate, but the script they use to produce the text file won't update. I used to do private stats for another team (don't ask me, it is a lot of work and EOC is better) and there could be days where there were no updates.
