Milkyway Off Line

looks like some maintanance is being done at the moment at Milkyway.

The word is on their forum is that they will also sort out the cheaters!!!

Was looking at some of the high scorers, and they have cpu ratings that will not be out for 50 years or so. Strange that after these people were shopped their PC's became hidden.

I never knew it was so easy to fool BOINC into giving high scores!!

I will unhide all my PC as a result

Didn't want too many people knowing that i only have a few PC's in my home farm To easy to be

and

He's got 3 boxen and in the few weeks this project has been alive has outscored Laurenu2? Riiiiiiiiight!
A little more full disclosure, here, please.

Oh well, at least my rant about communications may have done some good. Travis took the server down for maintenance things and actually posted to say what things. Well... after my rant, but hey!

[Helix_Von_Smelix]

looks like he is trying to sort it all out. He best remember to get some sleep

its down again at the moment,,,, no work

'am going to hide my PC's again in a few days. One is borged!!! anyway if some one wants to see them i will unhide them.

Will be interesting to see what the stats show after the dust settles
