Many congrats Thargor, a true achievement!!!

I'll second that

As for OET, I have to agree with others who have mentioned that with the slow start to this project and the fact that it appears that this was expected to have a restricted number of WU to start with, it would to me have made more sense to do a slightly less advertised start to the project. Get it up and running then do the advertisement or make it clearer that there may be a shortage of WU to start with. Having little or no work will no doubt put some people off from continuing here if after a couple of days they have not crunched anything. Current users I don't see a problem with but new users who have joined specifically for OET I do see a potential problem. Hopefully the shortage won't last for too long.
