This project never has any work. Does it still meet the requirements for the vault?

[Yankton]

That is a good question. All my boinc machines are attached to LHC and while I did get a couple of units not too long ago, this project has been pretty dry for quite some time. I'm of the opinion that it should be removed for now. There was something on their forum about maybe adding a sub-project called Zeus to it, which might make it have work for a while but unless that happens I agree that it should be removed.

The work i have been able to get from LHC has only been a work unit here and there and even that seems to have dried up.

I must sadly agree that this should be removed for the time being.

who is carrying the ax???...make it so!!

Has anyone seen any posts on their forum to why they have run out of work?

If not, we Da5 will have to deactivate the project

[Yankton]

They have a post stating that they will rarely have work. Ever since they got close to finishing construction I think stick of WUs simply dried up. Something makes it out now and then. I've had 3 I think it the last couple of months.

LHC has been deactivated in the vault until such time as can supply more than the rare WU that is currently sent out. I hope they do so, but this probably means it would be for some new subproject they acquire. We shall see!

How about making a section for semi-active and inactive projects listed below the regular Vault? Each teams points could be shown, but wouldn't be included in the Vault's total points. This would, perhaps, give those project's administrators some incentive to restart the project.

Also, you could make other sections for future Vault project inclusion, projects to watch, projects approaching removal, something like that, perhaps.

Since July work has been flowing steadily in this project, with only a few moments without work so I would say this project could be reactivated in the Vault. The spike in August was because the longer work units gave way too less points compared to the regular ones and the admins have given out extra credits to compensate for this.

I'll second this, LHC has been going great guns for quite a while now.

I can third this, not personally, but Janus7 a team member has been reporting work consistently for the past few weeks.

I've checked the LHC@Home site (specifically the Sixtrack project, not the Test4Theory section). In June the project was migrated to a new server. They appear to have taken about two months to clean up various and sundry problems (meaning work was sporadic, errors, etc.) Since Aug, there have been regular (recently weekly) status updates from the project team. Forum is active. It appears the project is stabilizing well from it's upgrade though they are still dealing some problems (long-running WUs particularly).

I have been getting work as well...
