The thing is, that thread (and plenty of others, like "COOL FREE COEDS") don't just go away when the non-retarded people on /prog/ decide to sage them. They get bumped to the top page every fuckin day (or at least every week, to prolong our agony) and clutter up the front page of /prog/ with fucking "DO U PREFER SEX OR PROGRAMMING???", like we really need to start that thread again each month.
I mean how long do we need that fucking thread you linked to to be on the front page? The first post is dated 2008-02-21 11:18, and after some shitnugget necromanced it ten days ago it has been on the front page of /prog/ every day since.
