Hi Everyone, I will be taking the server down at 5PM today in order to delete the millions(!) of spam accounts. This shouldn't take too long, but the server may be turned off for a couple of hours. Thanks for your help, and your patience. Tom |

The server is back up, but I think I'll have to take it down again next week at some point. |

Thats Great :) Less junk to clog up the system. When can we hope to see graphics with this setup like when I did the @home board? |

Hello Tom, Shutting down to clear spam accounts takes priority over clearing our current ongoing error problem??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? |

Your tasks have been hanging at about 12% for about 2 weeks now. The last job estimated 3 weeks to completion. |

I will be taking the server down for a very short time to clear out some 7 batch WUs. |

Are these accounts that sign up but don't process any work units? I'm just trying to comprehend the reasoning behind creating so many spam accounts. |

Yes, they just sign up, don't perform any work, and link to sketchy unsavory sites. |

Most excellent, just moved to my new apartment, and just got my Internet installed. Glad to see that I made the cut!!! Looking forward to contributing lots more computer time. Hopefully I will be able to set up another computer or so!!! Cheers, Denis |

Spam accounts??? Who would have a spam account on a BOINC site and why? It's not like you can send or receive anything from them. Then again ... if a spammer is donating CPU and GPU cycles, more power to you? Nick. |
