This section is where you can post topics related to Challenges from other websites, such as Formula-BOINC, SETI-Germany and BOINCstats, as well as project challenges such as from WCG, PrimeGrid et al.
As a Team, we really want to engage as many team members with these challenges, as this gives us a great way of attracting more members to our Team...plus we get to show our strengths as a Team by (hopefully) doing well in each one.
PS: I have moved lots of topics into this section where they are relevant...as you can see, we've always been happy to take part in Challenges...and long may that continue

We should really be pushing for a top 5.
How many members are active on the forum ?
:drunken: :drunken:
1800+ team members but under 300 forum members (and they are not all team members either).
Of the 42 team members who crunch Poem; 26 have done so in the last 4 weeks (62%)
Depends how you wish to define active:37 forum members have visited the site in the last week rising to 46 since 1st June.
30 forum members are responsible for 87% of the total forum postings and by chance 87% of team members are not forum members.
Just had a quick look at the stats, and it looks as though Crunchers Inc have lit the blue touch paper....
..if the stats page is right, then they just got over 180,000 credits in the last four hours, while we have only managed 270,000 in the whole of June thus far. :(
According to the stats they done 824.032 credits in the last day!
Either the stats have gone a bit weird, or someone has been sitting on a lot of work and only just reported it....
I presume they've waited until deadline day before reporting all their finished wu's. A kick in the teeth for us, but nothing to say you can't do that!

Maybe this explains it?
Or has YKW swapped teams again?
Deadlines are quite short on this so I don't think hoarding but their star Poem Cruncher left the team just before the start of this if they have rejoined that would do it.
After the massive jump in Cruncher Inc's production yesterday, these stats make interesting and encouraging reading!
You'll notice that the overtake stats are back down to 8 and a half days on the 4hr/credits column and 12 and 13 days respectively on the 24 and 72hr data! :D
All is not lost! We can still catch them, with a little extra crunching! Just look how we're out-producing them in all three stat columns!
On a lighter note, see how long it will be before Kipssi overtake Team ECN on the last 4hrs stats!
Four hour stats now say only seven days and fifteen hours ... shame there's only six days and fifteen hours left! Looks like we're just going to miss out :(
Are the Gypsy Poem Crew ready for another walkabout?
Anyhoo, vaio is right about Crunchers Inc's production! We need to keep pushing this one right to the end! Even though the overtake times are showing longer than the POEM-Athon has to run, it doesn't take much to alter those stats!
We have 4days, 4hrs and 40mins left of the POEM-Athon left, as I write this post. The overtake stats in the last 4hr column are showing 3days and 17hrs!!! Come On! We can do this!!
Out of sheer closeness which this is going to be.. I have finally decided to hit POEM also. Sorry for the late contribution chaps but i'm gonna give it all during these last 4 days. 4 more cores at the ready!
I want to see us get that extra place up! If not, there are going to be a few screws loose in some bar stools next time! :lol:
Thanks for the additional core(s), our average per hour for the last four hours has doubled what it's been the rest of the time, just think where we could have ended up if we'd been at this rate all the time!
Three days and sixteen hours left, three days and fourteen hours to catch them, it's beginning to look like we might actually make it! :)
We're still slighty behind on the 4hr overtake stats, but if you look at the overtake stats for 24hr and 72hr overtake times are roughly the same. I believe that we are stabilising our output over a 72hr period and with a last push we can overtake Crunchers Inc!
Yesterday was our highest credit day over the whole POEM-Athon! Here's a pretty graph to prove it!
And here's another one to show how close we are to Crunchers Inc!
Thanks for the effort people, but unless we can find 56,000 credit sometime in the next 1day and 10hrs then we won't catch Crunchers Inc
I'm on nights for the next two days, so I might not get the chance to be here at the end of the POEM-Athon, so can I just take this opportunity to Thank everyone who has taken part and crunched for the Team, however large or small, everybody's contribution has gone towards an admirable final total! Cheers! :occasion5:
