Why, Prauge?

I've been lurking the various textboards, the first of which was /prog/.
I have noticed most of them are dead, and the rest are not relevant to my interests.
I didn't notice you guys, so I frequented /prog/. It is really a cesspool and full of mindless spam written by dedicated regulars (it feels like backwoods shit-in-your-nest land).
So why is this, and what makes the difference between you guys and prauge?

/prog/ is dead, everybody prefers /g/, actually this isn't nothing new, i guess only 20% of 4Chan users know about discussion boards, they all go to image boards and think there is nothing more than it.
