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.

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.
