    And that's even 5500+ Active members. Guess maybe we should have made a drive for the challenge, they are obviously strong competition. May have been fun to participate.

    Very true.. I'm sure we all know we don't need our own "drives" pushed... pure addiction is sufficient... but it is sometimes enjoyable to put a new fire into others. It could have been a good excuse to spread the addi...errm fun around.

    yes, they just joined about 2 weeks ago, for the 2 march points races. WCG had a little trouble processing their 5500+ sign ups in such a short time Their power per user may not be very impressive.. but their organization certainly is.
    Not sure they are going to stay after march, but its certainly a very good boost for the projects.

    Thank you, I was just wondering. That is indeed some mighty impressive organization, getting 5500 members to join in just one week's time.

    Do they have some incentive to crunch like easynews? As opposed to unmatched dedication, hardwares and skillz like those of us at XS?

    Well it took 5500, also, this is a key question, how many will stay with the project?

    With all the grp jumps, there is the "I JUST JOINED" hype, but there is always those that come off the high and don't stick with the project, no matter the team.
