What do you think others, or the different factions/categories of users want?
We can easily go for the cop-out ``Well I want 2004 prog back when the balance was 'right',
Yours truly, An Oldfag"
but that is tied up with each person's own rose-tinted conceptualisation of what that was.
From what I gather people want TLD-centric /prog/ as boilerplate because they feel that's what /prog/ is at a core. But, significantly many likely want /prog/ to be there for tacking on the epin memes and shitposting that they have grown addicted to. ``hax my anus", oh lordy, an oldie but a goodie :). /prog/ has been tainted by various hordes, /b/ and /g/ namely, who just didn't get the fucking thing. A collection of "tell it like it is" "trolls" and "hackers" who were bannned and thrown out of /. and everywhere else at the time. Put enough savant-autistic programmers in an internet room and they're bound to cook up something fucking funny and interesting, and so it happened, and so they got attention and people stayed to watch, the zoo was open for business. The S:N worsened, the imitation began and the rest is history. Despite being told to go /polecat kebabs/, nobody ever did. Even me. Truly epic memes /b/ro, it was all truly e/b/ic. I pissed on as I watched a fascinating faecal sculpture drown and collapse in piss. I looked down to my penis and saw it was not my penis. It was a black snake, It stared at me and asked- "HAVE YOU READ YOUR SICP TODAY?"
