I don't remember how, but I found /prog/ in 2007 when I was a CS freshman. That was the only text board I frequented, then about 6 months ago when /prog/ suffered a major bout of opiates spam and necroposting, I migrated here.

I expanded the list of text boards in the frames menu back in oh seven, clicked on /lounge/, and never looked back.
Clicked on the text board link in /g/ around january 09.

Tech support threads were initially banned in /g/, and the textboards were the only place you could ask.

The chokehold that cultural Marxism holds on academia and government institutions is terrifying. Any kind of dissenting opinion in a university nowadays would be grounds for expulsion. Try to write a report on The Bell Curve or any other scientific work on genetic group and intelligence and you'd probably be called for "hate speech".
This is exactly what doublethink is. Think about it. What is diversity?
Where is diversity of opinion in our universities? Where is the protection for the discussion of unpopular, but possibly true, opinions?
NOWHERE. Universities have a party line and another who defects from it is crushed. They are no longer institutions of learning: they are vehicles of propaganda and social experiments.
Diversity eh? What good is it to have a bunch of different skin colors if we all think the same?
Equality? Giving blacks an unfair advantage compared to whites or Asians purely because of his race? That is equality? Hiring or enrolling black students over a more competent white student?
Tolerance? Expelling anyone who disagrees with you? That is tolerance?

The Bell Curve is long-debunked pseudoscience, a mere mass-market book and not scholarship. You know better than that. And shame on you for your spamming of lounge the past while.

That shit drives me up the wall. Plus the rampant feminism in every aspect of the humanities in universities.

I came here around summer of 2008. I haven't been on /lounge/ lately since it goes through long periods of absolute shit these days.

Yeah, this was prior to that, around June of that year, pacifico was DdoS'ing later that summer around late July I believe (it's hard to remember since the status.4chan.org blog deleted posts from that time).
I don't know about /lounge/, but /prog/ certainly improved a bit right after during that time.

Just got linked it right now. No idea what any of this is, but people aren't using /b/v/type chat so figured I should punctuate right.

If you act Shakespeare for a living, then you could say he's your bard and butter.
/dis/ was nuked so I came here. Then /NewDis/ opened and merged with SA's File Forum so I moved there full time and just use this board to shitpost in.
True story.

I followed the Trail of Autism (/b/ -> /vip/ -> /prog/ -> /lounge/).
