What are we doing here on /prog/? [meta thread]

what is this site even about? there isn't much discussion about programming. sometimes there are but it's mostly one guy then nobody responds.

This board doesn't even make much good memes..
* who are you quoting (shit, rude)
* what programming language is this? (dismissive and rude)
* XML makes java the "acceptable lisp" (kind funny meme)

some carried over shit memes from the old prog
* GC hater (retarded)

I think we need to focus a bit more on what the purpose of this board and posting here is.

stupid as fuck arbitrary mod rules

>mod worshipping cargo cults on each board
>"cutesy" word filters
>mods using their IDs to post in threads for attention
>mods publicly banning users as a joke
>selling premium accounts

why are we trying to turn this site into SomethingAwful?
