Whither the 19th IOCCC? 124
dazedNconfuzed writes "Whatever happened to the 19th IOCCC? The opening thereof was announced over two years ago and the winners' names were posted, but the source code was never released — leaving the results of the 2006 contest unknown as we get well into 2009. Emails to questions@ioccc.org just bounce. Surely the quiet absence of a high point of geekdom becomes news at some point!"
Find the winners and ask them for their code (Score:2, Insightful)
You have their names, shouldn't be too difficult.

Informative is quite a good modding in my opinion, had totally forgot about fortune city et. al.
That brings back some memories.

The real news is that a site so poorly run that they cannot release the winners code after years ... Did NOT get slashdotted. How is this even remotely possible.
Obviously, this is because it's slashdot and we don't even try to RTFA any more. We're all so fucking smart we can just talk about it without doing any research.

I had never heard of this.
Jebus... time to turn in your geek card. The IOCCC has been operating off and on since *1984*, ffs.
