Few people give a sh*t about it. https://mirror.codeforces.com/blog/entry/109177
Don't believe it?
Take a look at this comment I posted two weeks ago before the thread and see how many people really gave a sh*t about it.
That's sad. While I haven't participated on the platform recently, I really hope they make a comeback, possibly with a better UX that allows for a regain in their popularity. As much respect as I hold for the platform, it has been quite some time since they lost their flair and personally, I feel bad for the authors setting high quality problems only for a few dozen contestants to participate.
There were many interesting problems to solve from past contests (especially TCO), so it's a big loss that the judge has become unavailable.
I wish it would be ported like GCJ...
Where has GCJ been ported to?
