Mr Halifax says BBC CCE won't last forver. I did know it would end at some point, but any ideas when?

Found this today (16th Dec 2006):
The climate change experiment is now closed to new applicants. The results will be shown on this website and in a special programme on BBC One in January (2007).
Well, that's that then...!

At present it's still giving out new work to existing participants. In fact a batch was generated a few days ago, these can be identified by ohe_ and ohf_ in the model names, the previous ones had ohc_ in the model name. Given that slower PCs will take over a year to run the model, we can say for sure that it'll be accepting results for at least that long, and most likely a couple of years.
I guess at some point the WU queue will get purged though, I don't know when that will be, mostly depends on the BBC.
