The current state of your submission queues is nothing short of pathetic. Waiting indefinitely for a verdict during a live contest—where every second determines rank and rating—is a complete betrayal of the competitive programming community.
If CodeChef no longer possesses the technical infrastructure or the engineering competence to handle basic traffic, then you have no business hosting contests. Competitive programming relies on real-time feedback; without it, your platform is a ghost town. Either fix your servers and scale properly, or do everyone a favor and shut down the company so we can move to platforms that actually work.
