    It would be useful to them if you mentioned in what ways exactly you want to see the website changed for the betterment.

    I liked that the contest had many problems. Is there any reason you want fewer problems ?

      OJ betterment:
      What I can guess is, the problem is with the server. The site hosts many contests, including some onsites. I am not sure if anyone pays for the contest, but we did not pay a single penny. So far I know the site is maintained by it's owners and they have no sponsors. In fact I wonder how did they continue for this couple of years. They are spending their money and time only for the betterment of us. So I take it easy and I hope the situation will change someday. What I can tell is, they are trying their asses off.
      Number of problems:
      I am the culprit who took this decision. My intention was to cover as many topics as possible. And in Bangladesh, contestants face 13 problems ~ twice a year.
      EDIT: I thought ghoshsai5000 asked me the question. Ops. My mistake.
