So old /prog/ is finally dead

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.

okay then, since this site is going to die too what are our plans?
/g/ with vipper and hax my anus spam?

Actually, if I end up getting the full traffic of the old /prog/ here I'm fairly certain I'll end up just closing the site. If with just a fraction in the beginning there was so much hassle I can't imagine what kind of autistic turf wars will spawn as a result of world4ch going down completely.

I always just wanted a small site with a small textboard with a small, relaxed community. I probably should never even have posted as myself in the first place, that was a mistake. Too late now. I don't even know why you all seem to have made me your personal enemy, I'm just a two-bit programmer that wanted to give back a bit to the place I enjoyed browsing for years. I tried to keep the board clean and remove the stuff that plagued old /prog/ but no one's ever happy, especially with half of the old userbase thinking I was the one spamming it world4ch. If you didn't like it here there was nothing stopping you from hosting your own bbs.

Enjoy the remaining time on here. There's probably not much of it left.

came here to post http://phrack.org/papers/fall_of_groups.html (interesting article btw), didn't even bother going to the old /prog/. now come to discover it's gone i'm kinda sad though. i spent years there ;_;

Admin, fuck the haters! don't let this place die too! i'll take over if you want (with the same hands-off approach).

I've been shitposting and trolling in this thread and yet none of my comments have been deleted. Pretty good board.

Great going, /prog/. You are given a Shiitchan-free alternative, one with a preview button, VIP quality posts, free of spam, free of captcha, and you keep calling the admin a faggot.

I fucking hate all of you for ruining a perfectly good thing.

Maybe this will finally open up some community effort to put together a real, moderated, not-dead, 2ch style site. God knows, there are enough half-dead boards sprinkled throughout the internet.

What we need is a kind of confederation of text boards.

>>46
Ideally, at least SAoVQ, Tablecat's Lounge and neet.to should make active part of it.

>>47
Fuck.

neet.nu is now an imageboard at uboachan. Nevermind that.

>>46

real, moderated, not-dead, 2ch style site

Personally, I find the internet too full of real, moderated things. That's why progrider is/was good, depending on how Admin feels. Not-dead? Well, I wouldn't mind more life, but not at certain costs.

Admin-kun, what does it cost you to run this place and what would it cost with the traffic of old /prog/?

I might just throw up my old own bbs with this software. Anyway, I'm sorry for calling you a jew for not removing the site's javascript, but you really should have removed the javascript you fucking kike.

Also, I might just throw you some money every month to keep this place up.

Sorry about the sad news. But it was going to come eventually. The text boards were a liability for moot. Too many spammers. People with the time, skill, and autistic motives to find vulnerabilities in the very buggy text board. And rs is a copyright liability.

if this site goes down we can discuss the next /prog/ at tablecat.ipyo.heliohost.org/lounge

Good night and good luck.

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.

Well, to be honest, I haven't been here since the beginning, when it was an autoban to post more than once per, like, hour.

Is it still like that?

S-so MrVacBob-sama has betrayed us?

>>53
I don't think he's active any more. The last I heard, the developer of some 4chan extension was the new main developer.

>>52
lol no, that was like the first week anon

>>54
He's still on staff (more than likely anyway) as of September:

Why not ｗｗｗ.4-ch.net/code/?

>>57
even /g/ have more quality in their dpt, but 4-ch DQN is a good places for VIPPERS

>>42
Please don't delete my home Admin onii-chan, I will be lonely without it.

So is this proggles now?

Don't be so dispirited admin-kun. All the accusations were actually just bullshit and we truly value this board and appreciate your work, even more so now that /prog/ is no more. And you know it.

le pedophile sage

If shit goes down, let's meet up in the Tablecat's shelter.

>>57-58
PHP and Javashit hate are explicitly forbidden there. I kid you not.

>>60
Yes, although it doesn't look like it will last much longer.

>>50
What?! areyou a faggot? Only sjw faggots hate javascript

>>64
Please stop using the acronym ``SJW''. Also, Javashit hate doesn't have anything to do with Brendan Kike being an anti-faggot. In fact, I'm glad he hates fags.

>>65
sjw

Admin-kike, I promise that mostly stop callin you names if you don't kill the new /prog/.

And no one seriously thought you were spamming old /prog/, that was just one /g/ autist who decided to stick around when '>le pedophile sage pissed him off and he reverted back to /b/ mode.

>>57
Gross. I don't remember why, but I really dislike that place (maybe Shii had something to do with that site?). If rather go hang out on FrozenBBS that post there.

>>67
You could take over the site if you have the money to pay for a new server.

'
so, we can greentext now on /prog/ without getting our posts deleted?
sounds cool

>>70
We already know you have nothing else to do, le pedophile sage-kun.

>>71 '
I am >>62 but I am not the pedophile sage guy. Stop calling me names kike admin
Also the number of sageposting in this site is terrible

>>72
By terrible do you mean too much, or not enough?

>>73
too much

>>50
Money's not the issue. It doesn't take much to host this site. It's just text. I don't really want anyone's money, more than anything I'd need people to help manage things / development help? The problem is the possible hassles that come with hosting a community of this type. Look at what happened to moot. I really don't need that.

If there really aren't any major problems I'll keep the board going and think and maybe changing server / server software over time.

I just really don't have the time to keep behind at this site at this point in time, so if it becomes a thing where I need to check it like every 5 minutes to keep it functional, then I will have to think about retiring it.

Otherwise, we really need to switch out this board software. It is some of the most obtuse perl I've ever seen and far too simplistic, it lacks too many features, is very rigid in its implementation, and I hate writing perl. If anyone can recommend an alternative I'll look into it.

>>75
Yeah, the poor guy, giving TEDx talks and getting investment capital. That 4chan really did a number on him. Seriously, what do you mean.

>>75
Sounds like a good /prog/ challenge.

sage is bad

>>23

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/

Link?

>>50

Also, I might just throw you some money every month to keep this place up.

Sounds like you're the kike m8.

>>75
What happened to that dist bb guy?

>>79
He's probably busy with University.
