The pool isn't perfect. Considering it's free, I think it's doing very well. How many people are contributing? I'm putting in 1%.

They were putting in 0.5% AFAIK but not sure. I am at 0.3% (I'm cheap and broke)
Other pools are also free (GHash [with a lot of merged mining that works]/ EMC[no merged but the handy push here to instantly get your BTC button])
As of now (10:00 AM EST) one of my miners can't even find Eligius (it's on cable) the other 2 on my office network can.
As I said before I like this pool, I want it to succeed. But till the issues get fixed I don't see that happening.
GHash is evil. IIRC, EMC doesn't pay transaction fees, and no merged. p2pool has horrendous variance. Pick your poison.
Remember this pool has been under constant DDOS assaults for over 2 weeks now.
