I still laugh at how /prog/ and /jp/ doesn’t understand what greentext means.
If only programming discussions were encouraged on /g/ so I wouldn’t have to spend time on a board that imports foreign concepts and then DOES IT WRONG all the time.
Using greentext as a way to “quote” someone’s post or thread is just completely wrong and a retarded misuse of a good feature that is so popular in boards like /a/ and /v/. Fuck, /b/ and /sp/ do it right. It’s just /jp/ and /jp/’s lame knockoffs that fail at using greentext.
The true meaning of greentext lies in YOUR POST not in others. It’s ironic, because you think that you’re quoting others while you’re just, in fact, quoting yourself. Yes, greentext can be used when ironically posting a derogatory comment about other posts, but posting while just quoting other posts accomplishes nothing but contribute to spamming the board.
The greentext feature was never meant to serve as quote feature! Why people started using it that way is beyond me. There are plenty of reasons why one would choose to use greentext with his reply. For example, bumping threads with stupid one liner replies should be discouraged and those people should be coerced into using greentext to enlarge and enrich their stories instead.
I want to use greentext, yet I almost never do it on /prog/ or /jp/ because people will jump on me thinking I’m quoting their post or something.
