.......CONGRATULATIONS BLIZZIE ON REACHING 500,000 MOT POINTS !!!!!!!.......

better still my dad is a corporate lawyer. He taught me that the easiest way to succeed is to acquire someone better at a low cost. Let's work on gaining new members on our way to 60 million. A noble goal in any event.

JPF

YUK ... the forecast is "100% Chance of Rain" ... I'm developing webbed feet.

Come on down! Looking at early March at this point I'd say.





Gobble them before they gobble you. Interesting....

Recruiting new members is definitely a priority. The one thing we can count on is change. That means we'll lose members over time. The question is always how fast or slow that happens. Losing members doesn't mean we're doing something wrong necessarily. Some folks just quit crunching, others change jobs and can't keep crunching for some reason, there's lots of normal situations where we can lose a member and these aren't things we can do much about. Members with interests that change is one that we may be able to influence but not prevent. The big thing is to not do thing(s) that drive folks away of course. I realize things change for folks and I won't lay a guilt trip on someone who wants to do something else but I still hate to see anyone leave. That still leaves us with the need to keep bringing in new members regardless. That's how we grow, plain and simple. All of you joined this team as opposed to another one for a reason. Those reasons will likely appeal to someone else as well. I'm trying to move us in a direction over the long term that will increase our opportunities to recruit new members but getting new members is something we can all work on. It is by no means an easy task. I'll be the first to admit that but every member makes a difference.

As for our goal for 2008, first, we don't HAVE to have one. That IS an option. In choosing one, we want one that is reasonable but is still a stretch and not a given to meet. My initial thought was something like 55 million. That's a 10 percent increase over last year's. Last year, we made and beat our goal but did it very late in the year. Now we don't want a goal that we'll meet 3-4 months before the year ends either. At the same time, there always seems to be a drop off in the summertime (Northern that is) plus we have folks that are expecting to scale back due to heat issues with their machines. But this is what makes it interesting too if we're going to set a goal. I'd want to go with at least 55 million or not have a goal this year. I would expect 60 million to prove to be a definite stretch for us. However, if we gain some new members, that could be increasingly reachable. We don't see much loss point-wise so far from losing UD folks. However, UD is still a choice, albeit not the default, on the download page when you join WCG. In the announcement of the end of UD, the admins said:



Well, clearly #4 hasn't happened. Turns out, it could be in the middle of the summer (#2) before we actually see the real impact of losing our UD-only members - when we'll likely be seeing a slowdown already. Much of that impact will be decided by how many switch to BOINC before then. So, we have a number of unknowns that could make either goal - 55 or 60 million - easy or hard. I'm willing to go with either. So, think it over and weigh in here with your choice.
