Good good - As a reminder, and I have posted this on the other points thread, too, to ensure as many eyes as possible - Please don't panic if there appears to be an error with the monthly stats as EVGA collects them - their process has errors at times and doesn't use a robust error checking routine to deal with issues that crop up if the flat stats file from Stanford has gone 'missing' briefly, which causes us to see negative points from time to time.
What I have done in the past and will do for as long as I am able to, is I've been collecting the stats for EVGA on an hourly basis and robustly do everything I can within code, that don't violate Folding @ Home's rules, to ensure that the latest stats are pulled as SOON as they are available to download. This means that when we have folding contests, the stats are never more than an hour old (as long as the flat file is refreshed) and that I also have a running history, preserved, in case EVGA's system has fallen down. I've provided start of the month and current values on a couple of occasions for them to set the 'zero value' for the month and restart the setup at that point.
So, if you see these negatives again, don't panic, we have ways and means to recover!
