   <title>2008-02-17: BOINCstats - Pies... Want them in 2D or 3D?</title>

   <description><![CDATA[After the recent introduction of the 3D pie charts some people immediately missed the simple and small 2D pie charts. Not to worry, they never really were gone.Some changes had to be made to the stats pages and an option had to be added to select between 2D and 3D. This option finds it's place in the BAM! menu under BOINCstats. Setting this applies to all pie charts on BOINCstats. The setting is stored in your BAM! profile. If you are not logged in then 3D pie charts are shown by default.]]></description>

   <title>2008-02-03: BOINCstats - Team recruitment and the PM system</title>
   <link>http://www.boincstats.com/page/project_news.php?pr=bs#356830</link>

   <description><![CDATA[It has come to my attention that the Private Message system of BOINCstats is being used to recruit members for teams. This is a violation of the rules and invades the privacy of the members. One of the concerns about the PM system in BOINC was exactly this: spamming people with team invites.I request you all to use the forum dedicated to team recruitment. I will monitor accounts that were complained about. If team recruitment PM's are found they will be removed.]]></description>

These new statistics show in three different views the 100 top performing teams of the last month in all projects or BOINC combined. Of course there is also a history which goes back to August 2004 (not for all projects!).Most credit ('TopTeams - Credit' in the menu) shows the 100 teams that accumulated most credit during the month.Best Credit Percentage ('TopTeams - Credit %' in the menu) shows the 100 teams that relatively improved their own credit count the most in a percentage of their credit at the beginning of the month.Best Position Change ('TopTeams - Position' in the menu) shows the 100 teams which had the biggest position change (in a positive direction).These are, each in their own category, the BOINCstats Top Teams!]]></description>

   <title>2007-12-08: BOINCstats - Scheduled downtime</title>
   <link>http://www.boincstats.com/page/project_news.php?pr=bs#356589</link>
   <pubDate>Sat, 08 Dec 2007 10:31:01 GMT</pubDate>
   <description><![CDATA[During the night of Friday 14th/Saturday 15th December, somewhere between 18:00~06:00 GMT, BOINCstats will be down. There will be work on the electrical system in the data center. UPS capacity will we enlarged. As this will be done throughout the data center the downtime may take the better part of the night.After the daily update of Friday all automated processes on the BOINCstats servers will be suspended until after the downtime. The result will be that the host update will run late and there will probably be no incremental updates due to this.During the downtime BAM! will not work. Your hosts will report connection errors. They will resume connecting to BAM! after 24 hours. The signature banners will also not work.All this is necessary because the data center is using more power than the current power infrastructure can provide, resulting in unexpected downtimes like last week.]]></description>

   <title>2007-12-04: BOINCstats - Unexpected downtown</title>

   <description><![CDATA[We experienced unexpected downtime tonight. From 18:30 till 19:30GMT we first lost network connectivity on the BOINCstats webserver and the Primegrid server. Half an hour later the BOINCstats database server also lost network connectivity. I expected the worst (like a dead switch or even hacking) but sometime later they all came back up.Everything seems to be running fine again.]]></description>

   <title>2007-10-27: BAM! - Enigma URL switch</title>
   <link>http://www.boincstats.com/page/project_news.php?pr=bam#356407</link>
   <pubDate>Sat, 27 Oct 2007 10:24:38 GMT</pubDate>
   <description><![CDATA[Enigma has changed it’s url and BAM! needs to update all hosts to the new url. The challenge is that doing this the normal way, all work (in progress or completed) would be lost because the project is detached from the old url, and re-attached on the new url.In order not to waste any work, BAM! will now issue a ‘no new work’ for Enigma. You can verify this in your host settings. Tomorrow (when I hope most hosts will have completed and reported their work) BAM! will instruct the hosts to change the url and set the project to fetch work again.If you change the ‘no new work’ setting before the url switch is done or if you do not have a recent client version that supports ‘no new work’, you will most probably loose work!]]></description>

   <title>2007-08-27: BOINCstats - Unexpected system reboot</title>
   <link>http://www.boincstats.com/page/project_news.php?pr=bs#356112</link>

   <description><![CDATA[Last night there was a power interruption in the data centre  where the BOINCstats servers are located. This caused a reboot on both servers, interrupting the host update on the database server. As it was in the middle of the night here I only found out about this a few hours later.I have restarted the host update. Unfortunately this means there will probably be no incremental updates today.]]></description>
