If any /prog/riders are looking to purchase hard copies of computer science books, the Bing Cashback service is going away forever at the end of June, and with it, your opportunity to get 8% off + free shipping on Barnes & Noble.com orders.

not only lacking proper knowledge of the back to /g/, please meme (which, it may surprise you, I invented) that is essential for understanding the fact that there has never really been a standard ``back to /g/, please notation''*, but also failing to comprehend the importance of bbcoed variations as part of /prog/ humor in its entirety

That, combined with your views on mimicking Wikipedia editing standards on a BBS and lacking the knowledge of the origins of /prog/ memes and their relationships with their contemporary usages lead me to direct you back to /g/, please.

This may surprise you, but the earliest known recorded of the ``back to x'' family is located at http://dis.4chan.org/read/prog/1204068934/54, and consists of neither an italics nor a ``boum'' nor a ``ou'' bbcode tag, but a ``boucode'' tag, a usage which, as usual in the younger stages of a /prog/ meme, has since fallen out of use.

According to me, after a good half-hour of vigorous Google searching. I'm sure someone with /prog/scrape could find an older, more distantly related usage (probably along the lines of ``Oh wow, why don't you just go back to /b/?'' or something heartfelt like that), but that's stretching it a bit.
