The military has a axiom that you should never reinforce defeats. Looking back at my participation in the BOINC world I can only conclude that I have been doing just that.
So, it is time to cease. I had thought to explain the motivations that have brought me to this point but have decided that for the most part it would just be another wasted effort. Those that need to heed the words will see no need. And those that agree with them have no power. So, not much point in long explanations. But, in short, I find I can no longer be a part of a system such as I see today. Dissent is suppressed, good ideas are ignored or marginalized, valuable work is discarded, participants are abused; all this, and more.
It is said that for evil to triumph, all that is needed is for good people to do nothing. For a long time I have tried to combat the problems I have seen with virtually no success. In that nothing else I have tried has been effective I have but one last option and that is to cease supporting activities run by people I can no long trust.
With this in mind I have run all my computers out of work, removed BOINC and shut down the machines. However, I will be funding the BOINC Wiki site until the end of the quarter, 2006-03-31, at which point the site will vanish and the domain will become available.
For those that contributed, and those that used the Wiki, I am truly grateful.
If anyone wishes to preserve the Unofficial BOINC Wiki, I have a number of files that may be of interest:
http://boinc-doc.net/sites.zip My working files of the old site and the Wiki including the code development for the Google search (263M) {not really necessary, unless you like history}. http://boinc-doc.net/log-files.zip the log file samples for adding messages along with my GREP tool (33.5M). http://boinc-doc.net/misc.zip Just what it says... all the other stuff includes samples and snippets of material I had not gotten to yet (13.1M). http://boinc-doc.net/BoincViewLogs.zip For those that might be interested in a data-set for analysis (5.8M).

第三段开头：It is said that for evil to triumph, all that is needed is for good people to do nothing. 人们常说，邪恶的胜利，所需要的仅仅只是好人袖手旁观。
这句名言出自：The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. ----Edmund Burke。
好人不作为，坏人即得逞。 ——埃德蒙柏克
The BOINC WIKI is now fully open. You do need to create an account to modify, but this is available without contacting anyone. If you are unsure about an edit, please use the discussion tab first!

我有时间想去看看那个错误信息的页，能力无碍的话，就翻回咱自己的wiki吧...
