So old /prog/ is finally dead

Name: Anonymous 2014-04-07 14:54

http://blog.4chan.org/post/81998248943/goodbye-to-some-old-friends
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.

Unfortunately we don't have a live system to test against anymore. We'll have to reimplement the bbcode parse from memory. That and the over 1000 bugs. Shiitchat was quite an enigma.

What we need is a kind of confederation of text boards.
I'm here to remind everyone that the textboard overchan still exists. Even the author seems to have forgotten about it.

I had Shiichan installed on my laptop, along with an html to bbcode decompiler. But I got drunk and lost it ;_;

I think I may have downloaded shiichan a while ago but I have no idea where I could have saved it.

There's a file inside the shii4chan.tar once you un7z this that's named ``shii4chan.tar.bz2'' but it's corrupted halfway through, so about a 900KB chunk is missing. Seems to only be the .dat files in the anime/ folder, though.

There's a lot less to this than I would have imagined.

One of our friends from /g/ wishes to archive /prog/. I am touched somewhat.

I have been searching /g/ and /jp/ for refugees.

/g/ is interesting sometimes. Take this thread on energy:
https://boards.4chan.org/g/res/41347494

I could find the information there by clicking through links in wikipedia, but their discussion is still somewhat impressive.

Which message board software do you guys think is the best?

Is kareha any good, or is shiichan better?

Would it be worth making a new BBS software that combines good aspects from other BBS software?

Kareha's quality is below average.

Why the fuck are you even considering Shiichan a viable alternative? What have you been smoking?

You're right, I don't know why I was considering shiichan.
What alternatives do you have in mind?

That's funny.

I like shiichan. I would consider hosting it inside of a jail, or on an untrusted machine.

I'm curious what group this average comes from. About the only thing I can think of that might better is Matsuba, but the source for that was never released.

And honestly, having another shiichan board wouldn't be a terrible[i]![/I] thing. But yeah, don't run it on a machine that you can't just reimage easily.

I just realized he put expert programmers in quotes. I just can't take an insult like that from someone as incompetent as moot. This can't stand.

Yeah that fucking sucked. Quite disrespectful for a whole community. Most text boards might've been dead but /prog/ was alive.

I wouldn't have been so hard on vacbob. It sounds like he hasn't been a part of /prog/ for a very long time. Maybe the /prog/ he knew would have fit in better at 4-ch.net/code. /prog/ today is like the anti-christ of that sort of discussion.

>>148
Move on I suppose. I could stop browsing /jp/.

>>147
old /prog/ was picking up steam too. It was finally beginning to return to normal. Despite my never posting there again, it would have made me happy to know that /prog/ lived on and was enjoyed by a new set of users. Now the continuation of /prog/ is in our hands alone.

Mooty is just a coorporate faggot. He killed what he didn't understand. There was no notice. He should had officially notified us so that we could prepare an `unofficial official' fork for the community. He's a bitch.

I had just started posting on /prog/ a week before it's death and even I was able to make it here, without having heard of this site before. I'm sure most will be able to do the same.
