Thank you Codeforces for everything!
By Epiq, history, 5 years ago, In English

It is easy to criticize, and often not so easy to praise and express our gratitude even when we really do feel grateful.

This post is an open invitation for all of us to let MikeMirzayanov and the rest of Codeforces team know how much we appreciate all their time and efforts spent on building this awesome platform and this amazing community!

Thank you very much for everything!

For me personally this platform feels the most comfortable / least confusing, the most functional, good-looking, and thus the most fun to be a part of! I like the quality of problems during the CF contests, the style of writing (even formatting), which I think means that Codeforces manages to attract the best problem-setters and testers from this community. I also love the support of many programming languages — whenever I want to seriously learn a new programming language I will check Codeforces if I can write my solutions in it :)

Feedback is important, and I thought Codeforces team would love to hear what specifically are we grateful for.

Yes, I agree...It's a great platform. The UI is simple, yet powerful.And the standard of the problems is also good. Challenges our problem solving ability ..!!

Another great feature of Codeforces which I really appreciate is the ability to create one's own Mashups for practice. I can take my time sifting through the Archive to find the problems I really want to solve, then add them to a Mashup and practice at my own pace whenever I can.

So, yeah, thank you for this feature! :)

I really appreciate for the features, lots of them, one more useful than another, beautiful. Also codeforces let us try to be a problem-setter fairly simple. Thanks to coordinators, staffs, problem-setters, and whoever works to bring nice contests for us(no matter if its for money or glory). I think you guess who deserves special thanks, Mike works hard enough to be a hero, hope he will take a picture of himself wearing a cape :), i imagine it to be glorious.
