PrimeGrid's next challenge

As the next challenge is approaching I was wondering if it was worth starting a thread in one of the more general forums to try and attract some more processing power to the team.

Has it been tried before - did it work?.

We normally respond to Primegrid challenges.
UBT - bobuk is the Primegrid cheerleader, and I`m sure he will not let us forget this latest challenge.
Congratulations on your prime find! :D

I was thinking more of a post in, maybe, the "Team News and Announcements" forum. Try to pick up some members who wouldn't normally look at this forum but who might like to take part in a challenge.

There would need to be some warning that PG tasks are not particularly processer friendly, in terms of heat generation, but it might gain a few extra machines.

Apologies to bobuk if he already does this. I had a quick browse around and couldn't see any general announcement of past challenges, but I could quite easily have missed something.

I`m sure Bob will be quite happy for you to boost Primegrid, so post away!
