Due to a lack of interest, and not many postings, I think it's now time to shutter the forum.
We've had a good run, since 2013, when Darren first set this place up - but over the last 2-3 years there's been a diminishing number of post made each year and there's been very little involvement for the few people who have visited.
And with ever dwindling numbers of volunteers for BOINC projects, limited numbers of BOINC projects that are worth contributing to, and of course the rising cost of energy, that helps to keep members host computers crunching - it all adds up to a real "downturn" in the need to keep this place fully operational.
So, I've made a start to "turn off access" to some sections and to make some sections "read-only" so old posts can be read but not commented on.
One section remains open for anyone to post in, until the end of this month, at which point the entire forum will become read-only and at some point next year it will be taken offline.
And now I would just like to thank everybody for all your contributions,
(over the years), and to wish everyone a Merry Xmas 
and a Happy New Year 
best regards
Tim
