The faq might be outdated but as for as I remember this has always been there. Or I'm understanding teh word "stats credit" wrong.
Are there any limits to how long my machine can take to finish a work unit (WU)? Yes. Depending on the work unit, unfinished work units for most projects "expire" and are reassigned to new machines. Since new WUs are generated by finishing old ones, we must keep things moving along by expiring units. As we move to longer WUs we will extend this time as needed. Expirations vary on the order of a week to a few weeks, depending on the nature of the WU. You will get stats credit for all units that you complete, even if they have expired, but they will not be as useful scientifically.
And I care alot about my points. I have no fricking idea which project is more helpfull for them and the only thing telling me is the points they give.
Without those points they would also lose a huge amount of extreme folders. They'd lose me for sure over other scientific DC's where I can help as much and with the extra of friendly competition.
