private /prog/ forum

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

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.
