Happy 6th Birthday, Boiledbeans!

—devadutta @ 23:55

Boiledbeans turned 6 years old today!

While we posted one question per day without fail for the first 5 years, this 6th year was hard. Questions came up sporadically, spam-bots seemed to have taken over our comment systems and our medal systems broke down. But, Boiledbeans is far from dead. We will be back to our posting schedule (or a new schedule) soon.

Stay Tuned!
