Easynews goes down

[[XC] junglemaster]

Well said Sig!!!

Agree.

We really do kick a$$ every single day. We have the motivation to continue to do something worthwhile. Some have more means than others, but we are all doing it for the same reason. This is not as much of a game to us as it must be to Easy and the like. We seem to be taking the reason we are doing this serious, not just doing it for the points. To have only 250'ish working members and to pull those results ( I know a little skewed from some specific members) is AWESOME!!!!

I have a couple of WUs that say preempted and are no longer doing anything, what is up with this?

[sierra_bound]

You probably have other WU's with earlier deadlines. Those are always crunched first.

[[XC] Hicks121]

Yup just sort the wu's by due date.

Damn, look at our score, almost 5 mil, this team is something.

If we had five hundred members returning work every day we would set the world on fire.

So true. We are slowly getting people to join, but at the same time others seem to be dropping away.

I am still so impressed every time i see our scores...the number of successful results every day is awesome!!! We are seriously reducing the time it takes to get scientific results in this world...

Amazing - we were barely making four million at the end of September.

Unfortunately, did anybody see Team 2ch today? Ten million.

[my87csx481]

I see a trend.

Me too. I had my best WCG day so far yesterday.

[sierra_bound]

Woo hoo, another day over five million! Way to go, team.

We've done a great job, those Easynews folks are really cranking it out, too !
Does anyone here talk to them ? I've been to their site to see that they get people to participate for newsgroup feeds, I'm sure some are also highly motivated like we are, are they working to ramp up their efforts in response, or just making bigger numbers at random ?

What do we know about our competitors ?

[sierra_bound]

What motivates the people at Easynews are free gigs. They get one free gig for every 15 hours of CPU time on WCG. Without the free gigs as motivation, they would be nothing. Team 2ch is going to pass them later this year.

Interesting questions. It seems as if they seem to, usually, stay just ahead of us. So, therefore it seems as if they are responding to us, or our growth. That may just be random. Though I don't know. Do they have a "crunchers forum"?
