I initially got used to approving a problem each day, then each 2-3 days and now I'm making it each week. Each Saturday between 20:00 and 23:59 GMT +2 time to be exact. That is when I'm going to approve one - it will be available 12 hours after approval. The new format will be in effect starting next week.

This is mainly because I just don't have enough ideas to sustain the rate at which I was putting up problems before, the active users are fewer than I had hoped and the contributors are even fewer.
The second reason is because I am also picking up several other projects which I will need to focus on.

I have finished solution blogs. After you solve a problem, you will have access to a page that lists code that others have used to solve the same problem. You will be able to submit and manage your own code as well.

You can also view the solutions blog of a certain user by going into their user page and clicking on the "Solutions blog" link, next to the private message link. That page will only display the entries for the problems that you have also solved.

Please keep only code or other exact methods of getting the required answer to each problem. Do not exclusively post descriptions of the solution you used, submit those as official solutions instead.
Please report any abuse through a message to one of the administrators or en email.

If you have any suggestions or notice any bugs, feel free to write them here.

The deadline of problem submissions has been extended for another week, as we didn't get enough submissions (we didn't get any submissions at all, actually)
Please help make this problem contest non-problematic by submitting your problems :)

I know I said tomorrow a week ago, but... well, you probably don't care about my excuses, but just know that I have them. The articles page is up, together with a simple article, written in the classical online judge spirit of "the first problem on a judge site should be trivial", except it now applies to articles. I hope to have one more article up this week: probably about segment trees.

As for the other features I mentioned last time, I'll stop making promises, but I do hope to have them done in about a week.

We invite all users to take part in this contest, where all problem submissions from now until next week are considered as a participation.
The top 3 participants, whose problems are the best, will gain 100 reputation each, and their names are going to be posted (good for them if they like fame :))
Any problem of any type is accepted (but should be related to algorithms in some manner), so if you have any idea of a problem, just submit it now!
The problems are judged by their difficulty and originality.

I have been very busy lately, but I'm done for a good while. I have already implemented private messages, which you can send to users through their user page and read by clicking the messages link at the top.

Next up is the articles page, which I'm hoping to get done tomorrow. After that is a thumbs up / down system on comments: users will also get (and lose) reputation based on how many up / down votes their comments receive. The exact numbers are yet to be determined though.

After that is the solution blogs. After each user solves a problem, they will be able to post the exact code or method they used to get the answer in a special area for that problem. Only people who have also solved problem x can view the solution blogs for problem x.

Exams are coming up pretty soon for me, so that's probably all the features I will manage to get done right now. However, I hope to be able to keep putting up problems at a decent rate and I will also try to get more members to join and be active.

Users can now submit their own problems, solutions and articles after solving a single problem.

I hope this will motivate people to contribute more.

After over a month of on-and-off (mostly off) work on the site, it's finally in a usable state. I hope the 10 problems I managed to put up so far will be enough to make people come back for more, and I expect to have more soon.

I hope you find the purpose of this site useful and help spread the word. It won't work without user contributions.

Please stop by our about page to read what this is all about.

Happy coding.
