I have been on codeforces for almost 5 years, i just take a break from cp for 1 year and i have seen a lot of changes in our community. Now i just want to recall and save some good old memories from everyone. Feel free to share your memories.

OK, me first.

You know you are old when you have seen awoo was once pikmike

You know you are old when you have seen the retired blog of rng_58

You know you are old when you have seen red SecondThread provide useful solution

      I'd say I'm quite impressed with myself during that time. Managing to tackle div. 2 ABCD and reaching the blue, all without the guidance of any formal algorithmic classes, was quite an accomplishment. Over the last 4 years, I oftentimes solve random problems purely for enjoyment, without actively participating in any formal contests. And I'm now genuinely curious how far could I go if I come back to CP at this point in time.

You know you are old when you think for a long time if you should participate in a contest, finally deciding to participate, but not very seriously, probably you will leave early if you get tired.

    Rough times... Was it quicksort for you or something else?

    P.S. Glad to still see you there!
