The project started as Renderfarm@Home. Reached like 1000 users. But 
after a few months I lost my free hosting (the friend who was hosting it 
had to reduce his ISP plan). Then I sort of revived it on IMP server. 
The plan was just testing it for a start, and then moving Renderfarm 
database there, but it never happened (lack of time, motivation... busy 
in *other* time wasters...). So currently it's in a state of having an 
even more hackish backend than the original Renderfarm@Home, and with 
less users.

Plan now is somehow merging both databases (if a user was on both 
projects, his credits would get added, for example), but that's 
something else I haven't got around to. I don't want to open account 
creation and watch the user list grow again... The less users, the 
easier it will be to merge (but I have to do it!).

Not to mention the big changes I'll have to do on my wrapper when POV 
3.7 is out. More like a rewrite. I'm interested in many of the 3.7 
changes, and multithreading isn't one of them! Mainly: the new state 
file for resuming renders, and the cleaned-up internals that would make 
my modifications less "invasive".

Lately I have been busy making a screensaver for PrimeGrid (another 
BOINC project), and I may even get paid for it, so I try not to get too 
distracted :)

PS. this became somewhat on-topic about POV, which is off-topic for 
.off-topic. Should we move to povray.general?
