We keep doing what we can David. Just over a year ago I fell into this place a dissolutioned expat from grid.org and now my crew equals five with lofty goals in hand. Teams when I joined that were kicking out 20,000 points a day are now doing 80,000 a day. Some have been at it consistantly well before my time and then others like Xtreme systems have turned up in grand style setting their own benchmark breathing a bit of life into the place.

Recently, I wander into a phpBB2 artist's forum and what do I see at bottom right corner of his page, a 'userfriendly.org' link and we are well aware of the WUs that team kicks in. A real buz for me to have a shout in a Dutch based forum, "I know those doodes", major headkickers at the WCG! This is where some of us entrench ourselves, in those non mainstream places so alive with unusual individuals looking for a genuine outlet. Rant over, Cheers all

Advertising at your local free HIV testing clinic? POZ magazines, their websites, http://www.amfar.org/cgi-bin/iowa/index.html (AMFAR is good..check the out) ...targeting people who might have an interest or stake in the research. Reaching out and touching hearts, minds and souls. Social networks such as Myspace. Public signs. Bumper stickers, WCG shirts, including BOINC with the upcoming Windows Vista..lol

Technological efficiency of upgrading to multiple cores processors such as dual core and upcoming quad cores(November and later). AMD X2 4400 is great solid choice with liquid cooling. Dell with core 2 duo's at reasonable pricing.

Telling people about it and installing on friends computer like I have. Yahoo and other instant messaging and chat room programs to spread word. Running the grid on spare super computing resources. Installation at work/school with permissions.

Maybe, do the www.youtube.com thing and get some videos up onto there. Imagination and creation are the limits.

Hi oneguy 5years of runtime with UD it was the potential for the cancer research that kept me there.

I'm not saying we are doing a bad job of promoting the grid in the many many ways in which we do that. I'm just suggesting that in the same way that we together make a century by tea time (in the UK) that with a joined up approach we could make our voices heard in bigger and higher places

One email from that chap David Autumns again might not make a difference but what about a 100 or a 1000 each from a different WCG Cruncher each with their own reasons as to why it's a good idea to crunch?

I sit here on the South Coast of the UK and it's a long way to go to visit the NFCR (Just 1 example) personally in Bethesda, Maryland USA but not if you are living on East West Highway it's just down the street and maybe a thousand hand delivered emails might make it past the spam filter and be taken seriously.

This is a call to put our heads on differently and think in alternative ways.

There are now over 226,000 of us each one of us with an idea how we might share this WCG secret.

Here's a thread to share those idea's openly

Over to you...
