I setup WCG up as a back up project when Asteroids@home is out of work. I enabled three projects, Africa Rainfall project, Smash Childhood Cancer, and Help Stop TB. I wanted to work on getting the next badge for each. I let it set and try to get work for 3 days when Asteroids went dry last week. I did not get one single task from WCG. I ended up running Rosetta instead until Asteroids had more work. As far as I can tell the only project with reliable work right now is Fight AIDS @ Home - Phase 2 which I am not interested in running right now. So no, I'm not surprised people are not getting work. I'm not even going to bother with this event due to lack of work from WCG.
