Re: Sprints 2024 - timetable and projects selected

I did offer prayers to God, Allah, Buddha, Yahweh, Jupiter, Zeus, Ra, Mithra, Shangdi, Krishna but I couldn't find any willing sacrificial offerings and I am totally out of gold, frankincense and myrh :shock: And sadly, NONE of them replied to me to let me know that everything will be perfect. rega...

Re: Sprints for 2024

But wouldn't that be like killing the goose that laid the golden egg?
Yes indeed, but there may come a point where the collective voices of the non-competitive crunchers is heard.

I really don't have a feel for how many crunchers each project has outside of FB, Boincstats, BG

Re: Sprints for 2024

The projects could kill off ALL boinc competitions by going to a delayed update on stats pages.

And who could blame them?

Well done indeed Mr. (or Ms.) DDOSer :evil: :evil:

If it looks like a DDOS, and walks like a DDOS ... ...

I think all teams will realise that Marathon points are never truly 'earned' until the last day of the year

Re: Team Allocation into Leagues

Hi all I am considering how the promotion and demotion should be decided for this years Season both for the Teams taking part as well as the Members. And also WHEN should this take place? You might get some angst from teams who, by dint of getting promoted, suddenly lose a bunch of their marathon p...

a wee distraction

While Tim slaves earnestly to get things ready for 2024 sprints and marathons :jap: I thought I'd mention the challenges which arise from time to time on Boincstats.

Re: Forum tweaks

Only just saw this ... YES PLEASE, do carry on Tim. You have been the saviour of FB imho
