    Oh goodie... I hope they're not using windows. I've seen some Windows Server updates doing some pretty annoying stuff at times.

    How do we get stats for WCG after the European thing they implemented that broke bok's stats?

    We can only look on our own pages https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/m...yMemberPage.do
    BOINCStats Willy had a secret way of getting scores that he used for the last challenge. I hope all stats sites can be let in on that secret, or that the whole GDPR thing blows over...

    Agree, this GDPR thing seems to be heavy handed against the Distributed Computing community. I don't understand what Brussels was trying to protect. What did we do to hurt the European Community and why did World Community Grid take such extreme action against us, their volunteers. It has certainly meant I look at other projects before WCG now.

    or at least try to raise awareness in the WCG official forums that hiding those stats is sapping motivation to crunch if you can't show your stats off

    It is solely WCG (read: IBM corporate) that has an interpretation that prohibits stats export to 3rd parties unless they signed something that, despite they had two years time to make it, is not ready to be signed yet.
