UK BOINC Team Forum

Hi all

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

Hi

Not unexpected unfortunatly. I think there's only been, maybe, four or five contributers in the last year? Don't remember when next payment is due to keep access, so that would be the obviuos (it's a word! - all the right letters, though not nessessarly in the right order!) time to close.

It was fun while it lasted, especially at the start with the competitions, chases, winding up BOINCUK til they buckled and gave up. I used to have 2 single core PCs running 24/7 and thought I had a chance of keeping up with the guys running farms - Woodles and Temujin come to mind.

Anyway, thank you for keeping things running for as long as you have - it's been fun but it's time to say goodbye

Goodbye and thanks for all the fish...

Thankyou to all who contributed over the years and especially Tim for running the show. Seasons Greetings to anyone still reading this!!!
