private /prog/ forum

Name: Anonymous 2011-01-09 19:27

when is someone going to make a private version of /prog/ so that we can have programming discussions and kick the idiotic trolls?

Name: Anonymous 2011-01-14 4:50

OK. Moot picks moderators somehow. Figure THAT out and see if you  can become /prog/ moderator.

i for one completely oppose using these ancient BBS that doesn't even support modern BBCODE. also i scoff at your remarks regarding re-inventions of wheels: what i propose is something completely different than a BBS, and (might i say) it probably has a far greater potential for lulz and a smaller chance to fail due to abuse. hear me out.

>>111
we will of course need users... this venture requires faith that once we build it, they will come. all i want to say about this is that some anon live in surveillance states (like china lol) and that online actions are starting to have real world consequences. anon are righteously becoming paranoid and sensibly more cautious in their online behavior. this is preventing major lulz from occurring. think about it.

we, as the /prog/ers of /prog/ (with for instance CUDDER as our CONS) can do something about this situation.

MrVacBob has a large web presence. I never Googled him before.

He's spread too thinly. He's not doing enough here. That much was obvious before looking him up.

Moot point, anyhow. A need for more functional software has been identified. Pick a little piece of it and write a subroutine. Or ignore all this and go back to scribbling and baby talk. Whichever fits your particular mentality.

I kind of like all the Shiichan's BBCode gotchas, like using [o] and [br] for multiline quotes, makes /prog/ unique.

I kind of like discussing programming in a programming board without wading through piles of nonsense.

/prog/ with all its shit is still better than any other anonymous/non-anonymous programming forum/board.

Prove me wrong.

Also, bumping the thread to hide the pile of shit.

No search function.
Can't post large programs.
Can't look up a smart guy's other posts by name.

Other boards have bad posts, but they largely get downvoted, and that saves a lot of time when looking for something you can use.

Pick a problem like comparing 2 images to see if they're similar. You can find several solutions to that problem on reddit and stackoverflow within minutes. I know there are also 2 solutions to it in /prog/. But can you find them?

No search function.
There's Xarn /prog/scrape, and every other /prog/rider knows how to use google to search only inside /prog.
Can't post large programs.
If your code is longer than 10kb (shiichan's limit is 10000 characters, really), it should be on pastebin.
Can't look up a smart guy's other posts by name.
When we search for a specific /prog/ post, we do a search-by-content instead of search-by-name.
Everyone shitposts, here. Everyone metatrolls himself to troll the others. Almost everyone do quality posts.
If we had forced non-anonymity, /prog/ would be deader than now.

Other boards have bad posts, but they largely get downvoted, and that saves a lot of time when looking for something you can use.
The first 10 threads in the frontpage are pure shit, and the threads below deserve more attention? That's when you stop sageing and bump them. Or when you should make a good thread.

Do you remember that GNAA guy, bumping all the over 1000 threads? Yeah, you don't.
He got banned by MrVacBob. It happened recently, something like ~1 months ago.
It's the same at /jp/, when they get raided, they just ignore and go on.

not everyone agrees that's such a good thing.

There's still /prog/scrape.
Also, we're programmers. I have my own subject.txt parser and /prog/bot written in Lisp, and I everyone here should have written one as well.

/prog/ may not be perfect, but it's not that pile of shit either.

Yes, I wrote one too, but not in some toy language.

If it can scrape /prog/ it's not a toy language: it needs tcp sockets.

You did not refute the point that other boards are better. You just listed your work-arounds for /prog/'s shortcomings.

This thread's topic is making an alternative server. It would be a worthy exercise for a group of programmers sharing a discussion board. There is always room for improvement. And experimentation.

It won't happen, of course.  We don't come here for long-term projects. And we recognize the OP is trying to get someone to do his work for him. Hell with that.

I'd be willing to write a small part. I suspect many of us would. The trolls would try to slip in bugs. The anal-retentives would spot them. The neckbeards would crush everyone's ego with 10 lines that do the work of your 100. It could have been fun. But no. It turned out the way it always does. Profitless bickering between griefers.

153 posts for nothing. I'd downvote this stupid thread so it doesn't waste people's time, but his obsolete server won't let me.

It only takes one person to write some code and a couple more to extend it to full functionality. So far, nobody has bothered. I wonder why.

Name: Anonymous 2011-01-14 22:52

Has that ever happened in here? That full functionality thing you mention?
