SH@2 team:
I understand that there might be several problems with programs and servers, but "Team" knows our email adresses and can inform about problems if you want to do it.

Now only information for us "crunchers" is few days old "Yeah right... 60% something Ok"...

I can wait. I Can wait 5 years, I can wait 10 years if i have INFORMATION about that i'm not the only one who is waiting.

You need ONE GOOD PR-person to keep 25.000 or more (5- million) members to be informed what you are doing NOW and why you are doing that... Why system is NOW down.

You are 100% right. We are not getting rich, it is merely for the GOOD CAUSE.
The only thing I want in return for my huge electricity bill and computer investmest especially for the benefit of this cause that we all GET DUELY AND TRUELY INFORMED ON A DAYLY BASIS on what is happening this from a viewpoint of GOOD PR.

Greetings from Belgium ;)))))

Im not sure what you find more important. A person working on fixing a bug causing a delay on output of workunits or that same person spending 10 mins of time what could have been used on fixing the bug to write a post. I know we are left in the dark but in them 10 mins that person spent explaining problems they could have written or adapted a few lines of code

True, but the reason i take part in projects like this is to give something for my computer to do while its switched on and im not using it. I dont care if the software is going to take time to get it all working smoothly or if my computer is sitting idle for a few days because of it. All i care about is that my cpu power in the end will go on to better our knowledge of the space arround us. If your that bothered how about it you should go and setup a project on this scale and see how it fares.
