Useless Statements

Are there actually any real programmers even frequenting this board?

because it seems to me that the only people posting responses are:

1. making fun of grammar
2. saying not to help the person
3. making an obvious and unhelpful statement
4. insulting the OP's intelligence
5. insulting the OP's choice of prog language (regardless of what it is)
6. Insulting the OP's Operating system (regardless of what it is)
7. Making a statement that is inaplicable in the situation, or
8. Using some form of leetspeak/pseudocode to insult or otherwise make a statement that is moot or inapplicable


so i would find it interesting if those that frequent this board fill out a quick questionaire:

A. Your Age
B. Your Level of Education
C. Your Experience with Programming (list all applicable)
and finally
D. Your current Occupation and Paygrade

Ill start with the next post...

good luck OP!!!

/prog/ has been overrun with cancer a LONG time ago, look at the replies in this thread and count the helpful ones. although /prog/ hasn't become another /b/ (yet), it's only a matter of time before the real programmers leave. noone wants to post among people who don't know what personal responsibility on a board means

/prog/ used to be a place where we could be amongst eachother; now we're amongst eachother--WITH A LOT OF FUCKTARDS MIXED IN. that sucks on an anonymous board. the signal/ratio has been dropping SO BAD lately that me and a couple of friends decided to start our own chan.

we just have the boards we want, atm that is: /int/, /pro/, /prog/ and /psy/ (you read that right: no /b/ -- if we wanna act like fools we come here). to keep it from degenerating into a pool where people like >>7 congregate we're only inviting real life friends (and they dont go around spamming the IP).

when you know who is frequenting the board (irl) it's much easier to deal with trolls. every shit post get permabanned. of course when someone we know asks us to be unbanned we do it right away, but shit like >>2,3,7 basically doesn't happen. the trolls stay where they belong: 4chan. it really *IS* the garbage can of the internet y'know.

i invite everyone to do the same, it really makes for a much better experience online.
