F@H old and new points calculations

[DarkJedi]

I've been away a while but I've started folding again for OcUK, I'm climbing back up the list . I was wondering what happened with the old stats for people...When I started F@H years ago, you got only 1 point for most WUs, now I see it's completely changed. My question I guess is - why weren't the old stats recalculated, because it's unfair, I'm sure we used to be higher up in the team rankings at one point, now all these new teams like CustomPC that have been around like barely a few years are killing us, I mean I was browsing through OcUK's list and come across old folders like 'foad' who has folded 17K WUs yet his points are only about 20k. If these hardcore folders had the stats recalculated we'd be much further up the Team rankings, I mean 20k points can be obtained in like a few dosen WUs with todays point calculated, basically the way I see it is it's unfair the original folders who dedicated so much.

thanks for anyone who can shed some light...

Thanks for the post rich99million, that's made things a little clearer. Also thanks for your time in making the team news thread every week - it's good to see how our individual team members are performing without having to spend ages looking at the EO stats.

SiriusB, I forgot about having to benchmark the old WUs, true it would take ages...my point was that most people do actually fold because of the stats, I'd like to see how many you would continue folding if the stats didn't exist anymore, I'm well aware of how important the science is...but if back in the day hardcore folders were told that soon points were not longer going to be about 1/WU, and we're now going to be much larger like 110/WU a lot would probably stop folding.
