In my career, I actually had to review a piece of code similar to this. My approach was to turn the code review into a teaching moment. I had the developer explain the problem they were trying to solve, what solutions they considered and why they chose this one.
The developer ended up reworking the code and produced a much-improved solution. More importantly, though the developer never sent code like this in for code review again.

Not sure what I find worse, the amount of nested for's or the use of goto.

Just the nesting of loops makes me cringe. Ouch. I have written software for biotech companies creating chemistry applications, libraries, and drivers and see this often. Comparing, subtracting, etc. x,y,z points in one group of data to another group of data, we get this awful type of code. But, that’s what the customer wants us to do. And he wants it better, faster, and cheaper.

Is it Pandemic or other reasons that CP members traffic seems reduced? (feels like less active members now then it used to be 5-10 years back.)
No data - my personal observation which could be wrong

Neh - Don't think people were active just for soap-box.

'Other reasons', I believe.

Ironically the politics of CP have caused some to go away.

The pandemic would have a lesser effect here than many other workforces - so many work from home to begin with. I'd think the effects were minimal. One could, in fact, argue that those newly working from home would have more ability to participate - or contrariwise, be working extra hard to make a good impressions so they could stay working home (or not get laid off <=> i.e., redundant) they shy away for a while.
I've seen in my few years here some active parties come and go and come back and leave again. With and without intervening name changes.
But participation ebbs and flows - as a visible personality (which is the lounge, no?). Occasionally, if it's comparatively random, there will be cluster to enhance and decrease participation. Reflect upon one's own behavior and see how that fits into apparent participation.

We're all getting older, so we are all getting less active. And with the pandemic, getting outside is harder meaning even less opportunity to be active even if we had wanted to.

I've had to give up a daily latte at the cafe / pub and a weekly cooked brunch out. Early on I was making the most of my "one hour" allowed exercise, walking more briskly (from home) than previously. Fewer shopping trips or click+collect meant less opportunity for impulse buying snacks. [Other unrelated events more recently mean I'm not getting out much at all now, unfortunately ]
