1) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : Tell us about ESL (Message 38966) Posted 4 Apr 2007 by Benedikt Post: At least I am not concerned about my privacy, I use ICQ, MSN, at least I use Windows :)and I know that these softwareproducts are spies^^, but mayby if you would introduce the rosetta@home project and say that this project is powered by the washington university and that this is a serious project without spies and whatever and you show results, I am sure more people would join rosetta@home. At least you will have to do an "education-campaign" so the people know what they are doing. I try to translate some of the "problems" some persons expressed in the ESL thread: 1. they were afraid that this is a spy programm 2. they were afraid that their computers crash because they always have to work with full throttle (hope you know what i mean) There will always be some people who will shout that these software is a spy and that it is not good for the computers but I think if you could convince some more persons it would be a step into the right way. My suggestion is to make a competition between the game leagues and other platforms which are used by many computer-users who may have free ressources. I woould suggest the game-movie-scene, like www.planet-videos.com or www.baltgames.lv or www.own-age.com here you may find many users, you just should contact the admins :)
2) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : Tell us about ESL (Message 38939) Posted 3 Apr 2007 by Benedikt Post: Well, all guys who are registert at the ESL are gamers, and all gamers love competitions. The aim of the ESL was to become the number one and all members try to beat each other team :) If you want to recruit more users you should talk to the admins of the game leagues so mayby you can make an official competition. But first you have to inform the community better , cause many members of the ESL are afraid that you spy their computers. http://www.esl.eu/de/news/36281/?comment=0#comments greetz Benedikt "Kardinal" Otto
