It has been fun mining with you guys. I'll unfortunately probably be pointing my few TH back at Slush sometime in the next few days (until next winter or Kano finishes the accounting code).
Reason has nothing to do with being unhappy with the pool but is rather because I run obsolete bitcoin miners in the winter for heat and in the summer to soak up excess solar power off a solar array. With the weather warming up I'll soon be below dust level.
Good luck to all.

I prefer to mine on whichever pool I feel contributes the most to the network - but do like to get paid occasionally. Even at my highest hashrate when all my miners were running, I have wondered at times if I was leaching more from this pool than I was contributing - given the transaction fee cost of sending a few dollars worth of bitcoin after every block.
cant say as i understand why u shutting em all down to begin with ? solar power is infinite once u have it installed and as i understand it deterioration of solar panels is a function of time more then use.if they generate to much heat make yer self cooler boxes to muffle sound and do a great job of controlling heat (one of these
