Looks like the site hasn't been updated in a while - that's a shame, it was fun to learn from new posts.

I guess my failing to notice that it wasn't updated for 5+ years may correlate, somehow, to the reason it was down...?

IOCCC is still running https://www.ioccc.org/

It is not exactly the same but it has a lot of the same vibe.

So has it gotten revived or is it only kept for posterity now?
