So I'll fire an email in the direction of the developers, asking them to remove the projects. Once that's done, any next time you restart the client, it'll ping the BOINC website and get the latest newest bestest list in. ID: 53943 ·

It'll ping the BOINC website and get the latest newest bestest list in. Just out of curiosity, how accurate is the BOINC website as far as projects? Do projects specifically contact the website to get their project on the list, or is it managed by BOINC? Some of the projects on the list are obsolete, or non-functioning, and look like they have been for a while. ID: 55318 ·

VERY interesting questions! I ask to add, for example, NRG@Home at beginning of May, but is still not present in the list... ID: 55450 ·

Finally got around to asking David about these. Just out of curiosity, how accurate is the BOINC website as far as projects? About as accurate as it can be on a human scale. The Projects List (which is the same on the BOINC website and in the BOINC Manager Add Project wizard) is kept up-to-date by David, but as long as no-one tells him things have changed, it won't get adjusted. David does not read these forums, not even when I point out things, so when you have information about defunct projects, best email him about it. Do projects specifically contact the website to get their project on the list, or is it managed by BOINC? Projects have to request a place on the list. They only get added after David is sure that the project administrators know what they're doing and aren't wasting computing time. Some of the projects on the list are obsolete, or non-functioning, and look like they have been for a while. Send defunct project names to David, he'll then remove them. But watch out, some projects may just have changed their URL, but still be functioning. There is also a second list of projects in the BOINC User Wiki, but that one isn't kept up-to-date by David. Or anyone, it seems. ID: 55755 ·
