CIRR's domain expired 2 days ago, no one renewed it, and the website is now offline
CIRR's website (cirr.org) is completely down for 2 days and counting because they didn't renew their domain name. Their registrar, Google Domains, has put an auto-renew on it, to give them up to 45 days to pay up and renew before it goes to auction.
The reason I'm posting this is that I repeatedly caution those against using CIRR as the "gold standard" (as several people have quoted here). Codesmith touts CIRR in all of their public sessions and has doubled down on it in their marketing.
I understand their positive motivations of trying to help consumers weed out "bad bootcamps", and that something is better than nothing. But the amount of personal insults and attacks I've taken for suggesting that CIRR is just one source of information amongst a sea of information and opinions, is just unwarranted.
I don't consider a service that can't figure out how to renew or auto renew their website, and then when it does happen, not being able to recover that within 2 days and counting, as the "gold standard".
