Have been away from the project a few months only to return and find the leaderboard no longer shows sixtrack test credits and also ATLAS long for that matter. Seems the credit earned has vanished as it has not been added to the sixtrack results either. |

The credit for those subprojects are not followed anymore as there are no more applications for them. But the credit for them should be included in your personal credit.

Well the credit was followed by me and no doubt some others. Total lack of respect for users contributions. So ATLAS, CMS and Theory results will also be removed when they have no more work then? |

Obviously the admins removed certain apps where they don't expect to have work any more. This avoids volunteers opt in for those apps and never get work. As a side effect those apps are automatically removed from pages like 'stats per app'. As Harri already mentioned the credits you earned are still included in the totals. And, why should credits from an app 'A' be added to an app 'B' when 'A' gets removed? This will just cause confusion when 'B' appears again. The major point is that this is the default behaviour of the BOINC server. If you feel it should be changed, open an issue here: https://github.com/BOINC/boinc |

This was an oversight during a recent cleanup of old versions. The credit is still valid; it just wasn’t displayed on the page. It should be back now. |

Thanks Laurence, however as of posting they have not been reinstated. This will just cause confusion when 'B' appears again. As it stands, there is already confusion, as the credits now shown on the leader-board do not add up to ones total credit (if the user ran sixtrack test and/or ATLAS long) and if sixtrack test does appear again, would users credit start from 0 or from the previous score (assuming it is still in the database)? Transparency is needed in where credit is given to keep users faith in the credit scoring |
