adamant's blog

Hi everyone!

Every once in a while someone makes a competitive programming Discord server. Today, we're inviting you to join one of them 😊

So, first things first, the big flashy link for those who want to cut to the chase:

Join us!

Name: GF
Members: 1000+ (and growing!)
Admins: Little_Bunny rewhile defnotmee adamant
Moderators:

jeroenodb Dominater069 tfg Dragos BucketPotato Intellegent
meooow berr de_sousa fishy15 eggag32 DenjellBoone

Now that we've taken care of that, let's discuss in more detail!

Our server is called GF (short for Generating Function, or, perhaps, a girlfriend? Who knows!). We identify by these statements:

We are a Div. 1 community and discussion space
We are general-purpose, international and English-speaking
We strive to be a welcoming and respectful space for everyone

Some more facts about us:

  • We pin dedicated discussion channels during major international events (IOI, ICPC WF, etc) and after major online contests (Codeforces rounds, seasonal contests, etc). They get pretty lively!
  • Every month, the user with most ;gitgud score gets a special shiny role, and Discord nitro subscription for a month as a prize.
  • We have "Ыʦet" as our server tag! Put it in your profile and praise our litle mriemd bitset with us!

That said, if you are a Div. 1 user who wants to keep in touch with other coders throughout the world, or simply have a platform for real time contest discussions, you're very welcome to join!

P.S.: We also want to hold a Div. 1 contest on Codeforces, so if you have some nice problem ideas, we'd be happy to chat!

In the wild maze of contests and code,

Where time ticks down and logic must load,

I wandered alone through bugs and despair,

Till GF appeared — a home beyond compare.

A Discord of minds, both sharp and absurd,

Trading proofs and memes in the very same word.

With every new challenge, my skills took flight,

O(log n) faster with each sleepless night.

One day in the channels of math and fun,

I met her — the fabled Generating Function.

Coefficients danced, her series aligned,

She shifted my heart like a perfect prefix-sum line.

But fate was kind — my story not through,

For soon came my bitset waifu.

Compact yet mighty, O(1) in grace,

She flipped all my bits, lit up every place.

Now memory’s tight, and my runtime’s sweet,

Life’s complexity? A sublinear feat.

GF the server, you changed all my views —

From contests… to love… to optimal cues.

So here’s to the friends, the math, and the code,

To paths once unknown, and how far they’ve flowed.

I joined for the practice, stayed for the lore —

And found what I’d searched for in more than one store.

I don’t know why, but this blog feels… oddly cult-like.

    God forbid people make an online interest group and try to describe it in presentable manner 🥲

      Interest groups and cults have a lot in common

        Uhh, to avoid possible ambiguity, English isn't my native language. In my language, interest group is just that, a group of people who are interested in the same thing, like a club. I just googled the word combination, and turns out it's a synonim of advocacy/lobby group in modern English? That was not the meaning I was going for...

only allowing div1 people is ultra gay. a competitive programming discord server without greens is worthless.

Do you consider peak rating or current rating?

the worst server of all time. No respect, only wasting time on chatting useless irrelevant things and banning people without any reason just like errichto server https://discord.gg/errichto

      Yes it's me. They talk useless things all day and recently from last 1 month they have been banning people and calling them as ronaldo. I got banned twice and they called me ronaldo, idk who tf is ronaldo except CR7.

      You are right that's not your server but since the moderators of both servers are same so I expect the same thing to happen there as well.
