>>26I've did it before, and i found moderating a forum that attracts types like of /prog/ too demanding and closed it(FrozenBBS).
I've settled on having a private wiki on reddit instead.
In general allowing anonymous access and lax moderation(you can't really stay 24/7 moderating this shit) will result in same thing as progrider. While it does appeal to some people to have control over moderating /prog/-like forum, its essentially unpaid job with very little cost/benefit ratio, the amount of interesting content doesn't worth the time(and generally such content is just rehashed stackoverflow/hackernews/reddit threads)
