Is that par for the course for new participants, or was I just dropped under the spotlight immediately by simple random chance? Grumpy ID: 2040 ·

Therefore, as soon as there is a new one, it is grabbed for UOTD almost immediately. Dig ID: 2053 ·

Being a "real" UOTD means that you get a mail from the project telling you that you have been selected as UOTD. And I haven't got a mail from this project, even I was User of the Moment the day I created my profile. [b]"I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me[/b] ID: 2223 ·

I was so excited... after all these years crunching for SETI@home and now Einstein, CPDN and Beta, I finally got picked UOTD. But then it got taken back off rather quickly. LoL. I guess somebody didn't like my profile :( No email for me either, Fuzzy... perhaps they just don't do that here. Dig ID: 2238 ·
