there was a student who promised to post here every week to update us on their progress. they stopped a few months ago and I'm wondering if they quit, forgot to continue updating, or were told to stop.

My suspicion was that it was a fake account. Codesmith has (or their 3rd party marketer) has had a bunch of fake posting activity here.
You all have to watch out for fake content on Reddit, some of it is very well hidden.
That person who appears like a student doing CSX and posting about it keeps sharing links to Codesmith with UTM tracking params in the URLs (which Reddit doesn't add and were added manually) indicating all of those posts are basically ads.
