I just noticed that the mouse over of an individual's information at the left of a forum entry gives a small pop-up screen with more of their info, but that the color scheme for date joined is different. At first, it appeared that only the Cap'n was green with all others in red, but I have seen other users also in green. Just curious why there is a difference? Some early holiday season cheer?

It's not just decoration, it serves a function.

I found mirabilos, wormholio, ice, cyber quad, pooh bear 27, death, son goku and s@nl-filmfreak. But i didn't find a hint to something special in common to this group. They have different punishments, joining dates, teams, countries, number of posts, dubloons and pieces of eight, credits and rac. I assume they once carried erics bag, when they were students, or they are those who do call erics father when he's robbing there gold dust. ____________ Dragons can fly because they don't fit into pirate ships

Well, thought it might be a match with the Solstice/Equinox months and join date sine the Cap'n is in June and Pooh Bear 27 is in September, but I have since found red dates for March, Sept., and Dec. Also, it doesn't match up with the italics on the turk...but I think it has to be some similar kind of listing... ____________

My new guesses are: People in green never turned in an errored unit. People in green never clicked the negative on a message. People in green were never given a negative on a message. People in green never had a message reported as inappropriate on them. ____________

red is: People with hidden computers? People without a profile? People without a Facebook page? People who aren't friends to Pirates on Facebook? People whose hosts cannot be reached due to the network issues? ____________ Jord. The BOINC FAQ Service.

These are all interesting hypotheses. But you can't just use the shotgun approach and expect me to say "right" when you hit the right one. You have to provide evidence to support your claim that you actually know the answer, not that you just guessed it. ____________ -- Eric Myers "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." -- William Butler Yeats

I don't have a Facebook page... and I am red. People who aren't friends to Pirates on Facebook? So in that case, this one can be it as well as I can't become a Pirates friend on Facebook without registering there. Brrr, I'd rather be keel-hauled. () People whose hosts cannot be reached due to the network issues? This one was based on the BOS list that's showing there, with reachable and unreachable projects. You could've done the same thing for reachable and unreachable hosts. () Next you expect us to be Twitters, Fritters, Hyvers, Myspacers, etc. etc. as well. What would become of us self-respecting pirates who sit and chat all day long on those pages? ____________ Jord. The BOINC FAQ Service.

Late last night or was it the morn I do not recall, I be finishing my last bottle rum staggering er I mean walk’n the decks look’n for items o interest. The rest o the crew apparently tired form clean’n the decks as the empty bottles they had collected were gathered round them were dead to the world cept for Wanted Woody who be dancing his fingers cross some strange contraption that made a terrible clack’n noise that caused me head to pound. Make’n me way back to my bunk I find a strange object not seen by me afore. It had wrote on it “re-verify”. After see’n the item had no apparent worth I tossed it aside but another then appear on my bunk inscribed with a note to visit URL, I cannot recall a mate named URL and all be asleep cept Wanted Woody who still be fondling that strange contraption so I tossed the item aside but notice my mark change from a red to green color. I recall this perhaps be a challenge the Capt’n set for the crew so I makes my way down to the hold were I might have another area to be rest’n while doing my chores and find a similar object there inscribed “re-verify”. After examining it the second item appears with a message to “visit the URL”, who be this URL?? Tossing the second item away I then find my mark in my second “rest area” (if it really exists) had changed from red to green. I see after waking today Red James Kidd found a similar object in his bunk and now also has a green hue to his mark. So this be proof enough for me Capt’n, though my head be a lil groggy my mark still be green today.

I just noticed that the mouse over of an individual's information at the left of a forum entry gives a small pop-up screen with more of their info, but that the color scheme for date joined is different. At first, it appeared that only the Cap'n was green with all others in red, but I have seen other users also in green. Just curious why there is a difference? Some early holiday season cheer?
