The goal of the paper is to present the problem of time, which emerges in the context of the discussion about the ontological status of spacetime. The problem is a consequence of the progress of the participants of the discussion due to the application of the hole argument to the dispute. I present the shortened history of the hole argument, characterize the participants of the mentioned dispute, their development, I give a formulation of the timeless ontology and the attempts to negate it by the new spacetime substantivalists. I present and discuss a thesis suggesting that those attempts are futile.
