I checked our team stats at SETI@home Classic (S@H1) and there is about 70% people still active there and even new people are joining S@H1. So I asked myself why.
Answer is: S@H1 doesn't propagate SETI@home/BOINC (S@H2) on its page enough. One message since June 22nd? I'm only aking, why? Why on main download page of S@H1 is not a direct link to the S@H2.
Conclusions: They know why. S@H2 is still one big betatest.
ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!

Ok perhaps your right. But let's do some work in the frontline,... (gives more glamour to our hard earned? credits).

Greetings from Belgium ;-))

SETI@BOINC doesnt need any more users, it has enough at the moment for them to work out what problems ramping up the users will cause, and begin to fix them. It is a test and no one tries to hide it. When its working stably and can scale up they will replace S@H classic, its not like anyone has pretended anything else so I dont know what your point is.

Seti@H Classic has 2 direct links to the Website for BOINC Seti@H, one at the top of the page and the other is half way dow the right side, all you need to do is read a little.......

We are accumulating, slowly, more participants here also ...

But the others are correct. We do not need a huge increase in the number of participants right now. We can, but I am not going to right now, debate how much of a beta test this is and when it is going to be over.

Soon enough we will see the transfer of the remaining participants from SETI@Home Classic to SETI@Home Powered by BOINC ...

I no longer recall the exact plan as discussed in the Beta test (the official one, not the one you currently veel we are in) when that would be, but it was to occur after the cross-platform GUI was released ...
