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

Reminds me of that one time where we had a telnet chat. That was so long ago.
We could do that again.

No, we should actually have Just go back to /g/ already. You are annoying, and nobody wants to read that kinda bullshite anyway.

We should have a telnet BBS.
thats actually a great idea, but we would use ssh and not telnet of course.

what kind of software is used for hosting and viewing console bulletin boards/forums? I guess a console usenet reader like tin could be used

Gnus, of course

ok, fine, that covers the viewer. But what software would be used to host a console bulletin board? Now this should be really easy to set up, anyone who has server bandwidth can just ask the sys admin to install this software, and then its just s quick matter of setting it up and distributing accounts/passwords to users

You're paranoid about people monitoring your /prog/ sessions? SSH is pointless for a BBS.

I don't think Usenet is a good alternative; it is full of trolls and flaming, and many of the people there are highly opinionated while knowing little about the subjects they argue. I think it would be hard to have topical and productive discussions in such an environment.

There used to moderated Usenet groups, but the moderators seemed to lose interest in the 1990s. You could probably take one over. You'd have a better chance getting users to find you that way than starting yet another forum.

Another time sink for you would be organizing all the useful information already posted in /prog/ into a document. That should also attract users googling various subjects.

Or just go find a better place. joelonsoftware, for example.

To be fair, almost anywhere's better than here.  It's just that some of us prefer it that way.

clearly we need a completely decentralized /prog/ that runs over tor. it should have the most modern BBCODE that exists.

i searched the tor website: Tor allows clients and relays to offer hidden services. That is, you can offer a web server, SSH server, etc., without revealing your IP address to its users. In fact, because you don't use any public address, you can run a hidden service from behind your firewall. [1]

therefor, we need to write a server program that every /prog/er can run from his home box. people can then post their tor address on /prog/ and all the servers can link up and start exchanging information etc...

everyone should now start learning how to program

So basically we'd all be running Usenet servers and peering with each other.
NOTHING CAN POSSIBLY GO WRONG.

P.S. Last I checked, the entire Tor community is even less active than /prog/.

whats wrong with the idea of a P2P usenet system? It actually sounds like a very clever solution since everyone is a moderator of their own server so everyone handles banning of offensive posters on their own. I think we should start experimenting with this right away

/prog/ has at least twenty post per day. I know that because I do at least twenty post a day.

there's nothing wrong with the idea. in fact i agree, it sounds really good and i propose we get started and learn how to program ASAP. first we will need a repository for the code, a temporary website, a project name and a slogan (might i suggest 'UNSTOPPABLE MODERN ANONYMOUS DISTRIBUTED BROADCAST'?). unfortunatly i'm not a coder so i cannot help you with such matters.

but... perhaps there is someone in this forum who will take it upon himself... to free the masses!!! someone who will take upon him or her or itself to taunt the establishment and create what has never existed before: a thriving community of bright individuals, sharing ideas in a place where they are functionally untraceable... where every participant stands on equal footing with the rest, and cheaters are quickly detected and ostracized. where incredible ideas can bounce across the earth in mere seconds (well...) penetrating every firewall or monitoring device.

Make a better 4chan board server. Run it on your own as a demo. Show it to Moot. Ask him to make experimental board /exp/. Make the source code thin enough for him to follow it so he can see you're not sneaking something past him. Make the code fun to read - routines no longer than 25 lines and short but expressive lines. Ruby gems used to be like that before the average people ruined the scene. IOCCC programs are another example; the de-obfuscated versions still get a lot done with a little code. Brainstorm in /prog/ for features. Downvoting bad posts is an obvious one. One-way hashing the user's IP into a user ID might solve the fuckery that anonymity permits. Since it's experimental, you can try features temporarily to see how they work out. If the code is short, it will be forked by individuals who want to try their own ideas, like the various chans forked from one source.
