/prog/ - The truth behind #fortune

Name: Anonymous 2007-09-21 12:35 ID:Hk24i13h

I'm sick and tired of this age-old "omg i wanna do fortune how do i got fortunes????" faggotry that's rampant in /b/. To end it, here's the story behind the whole unfortunate #fortune thing.

In mid-2007 it was decided that anonymity would no longer be enforced in /b/ and so the name field that had been gone for so long was brought back. A new feature was also introduced, called "fortune," which worked with the #fortune command. To make it work, you had to put #fortune in the now non-existent name field. Fortune only worked (and still works) in /b/, nowhere else.

But then, after a while, things got a little out of hand and suddenly there were namefags galore. Due to the abso-fucking-brick-shitting-enormous name faggotry, the name field was quickly taken down. The guys who have fortune now had it when the name field was taken down, and now they're permanently stuck with it.

So no, you can't do fortune. It's simply impossible. The fortune fags are just pulling your fucking gullible newbie leg, so stop asking how to do it.

$ fortune
A famous Lisp Hacker noticed an Undergraduate sitting in front of a Xerox
1108, trying to edit a complex Klone network via a browser. Wanting to help,
the Hacker clicked one of the nodes in the network with the mouse, and asked
"what do you see?" Very earnestly, the Undergraduate replied, "I see a
cursor." The Hacker then quickly pressed the boot toggle at the back of
the keyboard, while simultaneously hitting the Undergraduate over the head
with a thick Interlisp Manual. The Undergraduate was then Enlightened.
