User Profile Submission Form

Create a User Profile

By creating a user profile you can share your opinions and background with the entire SETI@home community. Exceptional user profiles may be chosen as User of the Day and shown on the front page.

Frequently asked questions:

Q: Why was my profile rejected?
A: Profiles are rejected if they are blank, include potentially objectionable content, or used an animated GIFF.

Q: How do I become User of the Day?
A: Write something interesting! Profiles that are thought-provoking or off-beat, and that include a picture, are more likely to be selected. You can change your profile whenever you like.

Have you already submitted a profile? If so, you can edit your profile and check its screening status.

To submit a profile, enter the following information and click "Submit" at the bottom of the page when you are finished.

Your Opinions About SETI and SETI@home
Tell us your opinions about SETI and SETI@home. Possible topics: Do you think extraterrestrial life exists? If so, when and how will humans discover it? What are the possible benefits and dangers of such a discovery? Should humans transmit a beacon for others to find? If so, what information should we send? Why do you run SETI@home? What are your views about the project? Any suggestions?
