So old /prog/ is finally dead

Over the past 10 years, 4chan has accumulated many features and side-projects, but since the team has rarely consisted of more than myself, a single volunteer developer, and a handful of volunteer moderators, many have been neglected. Specifically the discussion boards (dis.4chan.org) and Fileshares board (rs.4chan.org).[br]Rather than continue to neglect these side-projects, we’ve decided to sunset them so that we can focus our time and energy into maintaining and improving the core of the site—4chan’s image boards.
So it's finally over. All we have left is this shithole. I feel like killing myself.

For the VIPPERs and “expert programmers” among us this may be a sad day, however we hope to accommodate you with some future image board features. Stay tuned.
Haha, no, get fucked, faggot.

will the /prog/rider guy allow us to have our own unmoderated /prog/?

/prog/ was a shithole. I am glad it is gone.
Here is an excerpt from the anti-foreword to the Unix Hater's Handbook. It is written by Dennis Ritchie, and I feel it applies if one were to talk about /prog/, too.
Like excrement, it contains enough undigested nuggets of nutrition to sustain life for some. But it is not a tasty pie: it reeks too much of contempt and of envy.

/prog/ was the best board since the 0chan.ru/c/ got closed by Mr. Putin's censorship (Putin dislikes freedom of speech).

Yeah, we'll sometimes people don't keep their promises. Sometimes the power goes to a man's head.

I'm not the admin. I've always wished for an unmoderated /prog/ as well, and it's currently at /lounge/.

Most likely, Reddit or /g/. Some of the /prog/ celebrities, like Lambda and Cudder were unusually adamant to move here.

Tor Check 1, 2. Is this on? Admin-kunt better not have blocked Tor again....

>>19
Sorry, I tried to respond but got the 404 on /post and then went on to discover what happened. And now I've fallen out of character and can no continue that narrative.

But if there's any consolation for me, it's that my post about being raped by mutant N. Korean children will be forever frozen on the front page of /prog/

Well, all good things must end sometime. But given what a forgetful idiot joot is, it'll probably stay up as long as he's there to suck 4chan dry. The `sunsetting' was probably the result of the dev's (probably not MrVacBob-kun-sama anymore) struggle to implement something as simple as stopping necroposting. As long as nothing is there to remind him about, it'll be fine.

For example, the original dev blog was up until just last year when.... when I made the foolish mistake of telling him that the CSS on it was broke. Then it was 403'd in a day. Luckily, I had the foresight to save a copy of it. It's not very useful though, but if anyone wants it....

I'm thinking of creating a textboard in C and inserting the existing database into it and after that, joot maybe, if we ask him nicely will redirect dis.4chan.org to us

or just saying to joot that we will develop /prog/ if the issuse is what >>25

/prog/ died long ago. The corpse has simply stopped moving because the mortician, tired of waiting, has duct-taped its extremities to the coffin walls.

Still, it had a good run.

I don't understand why you're offering an alternative to world4ch when you're posting on a completely valid alternative for world4ch's /prog/.

There's also Tablecat's Lounge, and nobody ever cared about the other spam infested textreddits.

I kinda cared about /sjis/ until the exodus gave me no cause to let that hostname darken my router's door again, and I would have cared about /book/ if it was a bit less terrible.

So actually, I guess you're right. I didn't care about the other texttumblrs at all.

It would be nice to have somewhere to go that had an admin who could figure out how to block spammers without managing a 95% false positive rate.

/lang/ was an important place to redirect people, and /tech/ was slowly improving.

What are you doing here then?

>>35
What do you mean by 95% false positive rate? The admin only deleted a few spam posts. Yes, banning all Tor nodes was stupid, but it's reasonable to be paranoid after the spam at world4ch.

I'm not the admin, so I wouldn't know if he has deleted some of your well-intentioned posts, but he has never deleted my shitposts.

It's such a shame /jp/ can't redirect anyone to /lang/ anymore. In the same way we redirect people to Reddit and Stack Overflow, they could redirect the weebs to http://japanese.stackexchange.com/.

So it's finally over. All we have left is this shithole. I feel like killing myself.

This site might not even be up for much longer. I have to decide whether I want to renew the registration for everything in a few months. I might not really, not like I'm getting much out of this other than being called a faggot constantly by imbeciles who have contributed nothing.

>>6
I haven't deleted anything in ages. I honestly have better things to do than look at this site. I haven't even logged into the admin panel in about 2 months.

>>9
It's not power, it was frustration in the beginning. Try hosting a site like this and you'll see.

What are you even talking about? The ``spam-detection'' on here is incredibly simplistic and retarded because I hacked it together in like 15 minutes when we were getting spammed once. I've yet to see any actual poster get tripped up by it.

Anyway, this site might die soon as well. Then you can all cry in the corner without having a place left to whine in.
