CIRR's domain expired 2 days ago, no one renewed it, and the website is now offline

This comes across as a pretty big reach. It seems you're trying to link the bad management of the website domain, which most likely is not within Codesmith's control, with the integrity of the CIRR reports. I don't want to pretend I know all the inner-workings of CIRR, but as far

I want to clarify that I don't have an axe to grind here with CIRR or with Codesmith and please don't try to add drama to a non-dramatic situation. I worked at Facebook for 8 years and saw how misinformation spreads and this subreddit is a misinformation breeding ground. Every day, I see leading questions, one person answer confirming the question, and then the OP being like "I knew it!". This is straight out of the misinformation 101 textbook. No one here has bad intentions, it happens because people make generalized conclusions from one off data and when many people you see in your online community support your ideas. Just because 1 person says something and 5 people back it up it means absolutely nothing, but people take that point, spread it to others, and before you know it, everyone thinks something that is not based on anything valid. If you hear "trust the process" too many times, you really need to ask yourself some hard questions about what you think you know and I'm trying to empower people to think critically, be diligent, ask questions, etc...
