Why I hate all this stuff

Name: Anonymous 2009-04-13 17:10

Hi /prog/.

Tonight I'm lurking on 4chan... on /b/, on /s/ (I love /s/), and so on... and it seems that 4chan sucks a lot in this very moment. So I got here on /prog/ ...and geez, it sucks as well. All this place is full of garbage, nonsense and copypasta. Copypasta. More copypasta. There seems to be nothing else. After months I follow your "programming" discussion you are still arguing on what's the best programming language and asking each other wether you read your fucking SICP.

tl;dr I hate you bitches.

It's called Eternal September. First noted by Dave Fisher,[1] it signaled the beginning of the decline of Usenet when AOL opened up access to Usenet for their customers. An Eternal September moment is when some early adopters of a community consider said community to be "lost" in some regard. One day they realize that contained inside the community is nothing more than meme spam, spam, irrelevant posts and topics, destructive trolls, and lack of challenging thoughts, ideas, and discussion.

There are those that can compare old threads posted to /prog/ back in 2005, and the current batch now. There is most definitely a noticeable decline in quality. This is not the fault of the moderators, moot, Mr VacBob, or the rest of the 4chan staff, but rather the users' rampant abuse of the site using the anonymity that 4chan provides. There's nothing that can really be done about it without the use of drastic intervention.

So in summation, if you'd like to have programming related discussing with substance and intelligence, you must leave 4chan and fine other areas that host said discussion.
