Topic 191989

A couple of weeks ago, Seti@Home sent emails to inactive users, inviting them to come back and crunch again. Starting a few days after the first of the emails went out, E@H has shown an increase in active users.

Is this coincidence or a side effect of the S@H mailing?

See here.

The spike around 10 September 2006 is due to S@H being down.

I think Rosetta benefitted

I think Rosetta benefitted from SIMAP "finishing" its regular load and dropping to a part-time project.

Popular magazines reporting

Popular magazines reporting about projects and even more TV shows can cause such things. I have seen a report about CPDN in TV lately, read one about LHC and seen the movie Contact in TV, which all might have increased the join rate.

Maybe http://www.seedmagazine.com/ had a CD with BOINC on it (special BOINC built with binaries called seedmgr / seedcmd).

Which is the reason BOINC was created in the first place!
