Hope this website stays up

Post by Allosentient »

I know the site hasn't had a high amount of maintenance or activity. But I think it is a real gem and should stay up for educational purposes. I would be very very sad if it went down. I have recommended the challenges to people who want to learn programming.

I ran wget some time ago to prepare for the worst - though I can only save the client side website and I haven't unlocked all challenges.

Is there a current relevance for the topic or is it just a general wish?
I just went back to Modulo :shock:

I agree.

That said, I wonder why adum does not pass on the maintenance of this website to somebody else. It just seems like the most logical thing to do. And this website is a lot about logic, isn't it?

I also hope that this website stays online, while I have come to a point where further progress is hard to achieve for me I come over here regularly

edit: just 8 weeks short for my 10th anniversary

The game is losing its appeal since so many solutions are now available online, at least for the lower level... :cry:

Fortunately solutions to levels separated by Spiral bits are kept rather secret.
Going there requires a bit of patience and there is no clue to be given (answer is not clue).

That's not really the problem though.

This website has not been actively maintained for a long time; no new challenges or puzzles have been added for years. It is only normal that people lose interest in a website that does not offer any new content whatsoever.
