Welcome to The Scottish Boinc Team boards. See forum rules in pinned post. If you can't be bothered then try not to be too naughty as I have a delete button to press and a ban hammer to swing.
The following project require you to consent to exporting your statistics to stats sites. If you do not do so your data will be removed from the export and in accordance with the GDPR all your data from these projects will be removed from BOINCstats as well. This data can’t be recovered!
You need to consent before they enforce the setting in the export!

Climate Prediction Net is removing accounts that have been inactive for 3 years .
The best form of help from above is a sniper on the rooftop....
To comply with the Data Protection Act 1998, we are required to only keep personal data for as long as it is absolutely necessary. We will therefore only keep records of inactive volunteers for three years from now on. Initially any records inactive since 2014 or before that date will be removed. We will continue to remove records that have been inactive for three years or more on an ongoing basis.
Therefore anyone who signed up prior to this and has been inactive for over three years but wishes to renew their engagement will need to set up a new account. If you have been inactive for the last couple of years and wish us to retain your email and username, please reactivate your account as soon as possible.
Project credits from these accounts will be retained but will no longer be linked to an email address or username.
Current, active, volunteers, or those who have been active in the last three years, will not be affected by this policy.

The requirement is now in the latest BOINC server code, so expect to have to do this over and again on each project as they pick up the new code. Wasn't much fun getting our site to GDPR compliant, doubt many teams will follow. This is just ridiculous.
