3) Message boards : Number Crunching : 1 hour? (Message 9096) Posted 563 days ago by [B^S] ShanerX Yarrr! I just be happy to get some work!

4) Message boards : Announcements : Mechanical Turk (Message 8987) Posted 880 days ago by [B^S] ShanerX I guess I'll turk until the captain finds more suitable tasks, seem to have lost me credits from years ago ... time to steady me fingers!

5) Message boards : Pirate Talk : Whoa! (Message 7378) Posted 1935 days ago by [B^S] ShanerX 'Monkey Mischief' ... I love it!! been curious since late last night, just wanna catch one of the wu's to see the graphics!!

6) Message boards : Announcements : Welcome aboard to the mechanical turk (Message 6683) Posted 2093 days ago by [B^S] ShanerX noticed the credit change today ... I think the task is simple, and the 1 credit per task was too high. It's taken me a long time to get the credit I have also, so the credit change was appropriate and I agree with other comments above about credit/effort/time. However, I spent an hour typing yesterday, and only 5 minutes today!! So, .125 is now worth a lot of work for all that typing. Double-however, I like that credit amount ... and a difficult choice for the Capt'n most certainly. When I started I thought of it like a typing test, so I only got a few incorrect that I noticed. Then I saw a big factor for incorrect was missing a special character or number - those are the ones I get wrong when not being careful.

7) Message boards : Announcements : Welcome aboard to the mechanical turk (Message 6653) Posted 2094 days ago by [B^S] ShanerX Limit would be ok, but then again this is like Stardust (but much easier!) ... people with more free time will sit there for hours, then will eventually get bored. It's for a good cause, the credit is nice, however if someone wants to do this for hours on end to get credit then the task is getting completed anyway. My two cents ... and thanks for the cool little side project Capt'n! Aaarrggh!
