(a short explanation, maybe with a link to a larger explanation, will be here)' Maybe then people will stop complaining that they are mislead to crunch for this project. Wanna visit BOINC Synergy?

Well, about those people we can't do anything. Bad luck for them. We don't have to take care of everyone. Happy crunching. Wanna visit BOINC Synergy? Click my stats!

And there are also the people who don't read the forums. Elsewhere in these boards you will find: This idea has been suggested before. There are no admins at present. Even the admins (when there are some) don't know when the work's coming. Gaspode the UnDressed http://www.littlevale.co.uk ID: 13620 · Reply Quote

Actually I've read all that in the forums, but during conversations of others topics, not on a separate topic about this matter. And, for the record, I'm not suggesting to put on the front page 'in xx days there will more work'. And there are many more people that read the front page, than those who read the message boards.
