20th June: Website now working again! - and after 21 years UBT is still here and we continue to crunch :-) (PS: I still have no idea where the UBT logo went !)
Anything "BOINC" specific can be commented on here...such as Project news and announcements etc. Also: any problems with BOINC or maybe you have found something interesting, tell us about it. Chat about the various 3rd party client applications used for some of the projects such as optimised clients.

This project is reaching end-of-life. Automatic work generation has been stopped. Account creation has been stopped. Before the end of 2018 the server will be taken off-line.
As expected, Leiden is effectively shut down as of yesterday. No more work, just under 9k tasks ready to send according to the server.
UBT very comfortably in the UK number one spot (11 million as opposed to 3.8 million for TSBT in second place)
It's not a Formula Boinc or Pentathon project so nothing to gain there.
At this rate we'll be down to projects in the single digits soon!
Shame....was always a good project with very few issues (IMHO).
It really does look like a few projects are giving up on BOINC, for whatever reason. And it won't be long before Johns "ubtstats" website is just kicking it's heels, with very few stats to update.
Hopefully some other, better, projects, will come along and harness the processing power available via BOINC. But they need to be doing some serious work if they are to be considered "worthwhile".

As of today the scheduler, file uploader and all other daemons have been stopped. The project web site will stay online for some time still
Shame but there hadn't been any work for quite some time
UBT going out with a fairly clear world top twenty finish (19th) and a very comprehensive UK number 1
(Plus a handy ten points in last years Formula Boinc)
