• How long have you been on /prog/?
One year and a half. • Why do you visit /prog/?
I don't even know anymore. • Is there something you would like to change about /prog/?
Less noko, VIPPER, ``halp'' threads, ``dubs'' and imageboard retards, and a decent /prog/ challenge about programming.
1) i first visited years ago back when Haskell was all the rage (fucking loeb), had some downtime in between and came back again around december last year.
2) insightful threads such as sleepsort(), getting help with C, getting ideas on what to program, good place to be stoned. i love being anonymous because i find that reputation usually detracts from the discussion (fucking reddit). also /prog/ is neither too fast nor too slow.
3) i'd love for people on /prog/ to simply ignore "autism", "noko", "hax my anus" and all other shit memes. write a userscript and filter them out, it's not that hard.
• How long have you been on /prog/?
5-6 years or so. • Why do you visit /prog/?
Because i got nothing better to do. • Is there something you would like to change about /prog/?
Less imageboard fucktards.

How long have you been on /prog/?
Since. Why do you visit /prog/?
Because. Is there something you would like to change about /prog/?
Yes.
• How long have you been on /prog/?
Not entirely sure, but it should be some 1.5-2 years now since I started posting. I've visisted before that. As for 4chan, it should be some 5 years at least, even though mostly just visit /jp/ and a select few other boards. • Why do you visit /prog/?
I'm not entirely sure. I don't need any programming help or advice as I can read the manuals and books myself. I mostly post (Common) Lisp (and sometimes, Scheme) advice and code snippets I've written from time to time, when it's on topic. I don't visit it that much lately, and post much less as it's gotten even more boring than usual - too many low quality trolls, homework questions and people who can't use code tags. • Is there something you would like to change about /prog/?
This is up to the posters. I'd just wish they'd stop spamming or forcing memes (see >>2's answer to the question as it matches mine with some particulars) and just post more quality content. Obviously, I can't change what people post, so the only thing I could do is try to contribute to /prog/ myself.
>>1-6 You're lying, the fact that none of you made the effort to make your answers not look like shit indicates that there are no BB-code mastery, a talent which any older proglodyte possesses.

will i get free coupons??
Hard to say. I visited it occasionally several years ago, I wasn't regular reader. I started to actively participate here last year.
• Why do you visit /prog/?
To troll and be trolled? Sometimes I like to help newfags if their problems are interesting. Before I visited forums for a long time, so most of novice problems are boring to me.
Prog challenges used to be fun. Now I tempt to make them in brainfuck because they are boring.
• Is there something you would like to change about /prog/?
Yeah! How about posting more threads related to programming, less dubs, noko, "hey, guise, he mailedto: noko"
• How long have you been on /prog/? I have no idea. I lurked on /prog/ a few years ago, but didn't start posting until recently.
• Why do you visit /prog/? Every now and then there's an interesting and insightful post about Scheme, Perl, C, or some language-agnostic construct, be it an algorithm, data structure or paradigm. I also enjoy the somewhat retarded yet actually amusing threads and ``memes'', examples of which would be #1295481005, #1295544154, and ``UMH''/``HMA''. I must say that I've learnt quite a few things on /prog/ in the past few years, and I thank you for that. I also like helping passing visitors who post homework questions just to spite the bitter posters who tell them to go away.
• Is there something you would like to change about /prog/? More Dr.Racket, less VIPPER, more Xarn, less ``back to the imageboards''/``fuck off, ``faggot''''. I understand the whole dubz/noko deal is just a troll, but I don't get why people keep responding to it.
•4 years ago. Today I have my BS and MS in Computer Science.
•To expand my knowledge on programming- believe it or not. Thanks to /prog/ I read SICP and HTDP, which really got me into programming.
•Sticky/wiki on memes and how to BBcode.
• How long have you been on /prog/?
About a year. I remember lurking for a week or two, and only started posting after I knew how the community works. (sage is polite, etc.)
• Why do you visit /prog/?
There are some quality posts in the huge pile of imageboard shit it's having lately. Still, some threads are so stupid it's funny in some way. /prog/ introduced me to Scheme, too, which was interesting.
• Is there something you would like to change about /prog/?
Better moderation, or maybe even user moderation (enough vetoes on a thread hides it). Not having imageboard losers and noko/autism shit would be nice, but that's unfeasible. Maybe CAPTCHA's to prevent morons spamming threads, they're only as big a burden as /b/tards make them.
>>19
I disagree with you on user moderation, i think /prog/ should remain a free for all and i like that the moderators take care to remain in the background (outside of removing huge autogenerated posts).
also, CAPTCHAS would interfere with people browsing /prog/ from the terminal (be it with elinks or some /prog/-CLI). not that i really do that but it's nice to know we could.
How long have you been on /prog/?
I've been posting here since early 2007.
Why do you visit /prog/?
Because of the occasional worthwhile thread.
Is there something you would like to change about /prog/? /prog/ needs more sage, less noko; also, a working Sexp-code implementation and Haskell threads where Haskell code is actually posted and discussed.
>>22 a working Sexp-code implementation
I'm still working on it in my free time!
Haskell threads where Haskell code is actually posted and discussed.
You just want Xarn to return, then.

• How long have you been on /prog/?
Since early 2008.
• Why do you visit /prog/?
Because I'm an elitist faggot.
• Is there something you would like to change about /prog/?
I'd like /prog/ to have capchas in the posting forms. Bringing back IDs might also be a good idea.
• How long have you been on /prog/?
Since September 2010
• Why do you visit /prog/?
I don't know really.... to be trolled, i guess.
• Is there something you would like to change about /prog/?
Noko
Please help us increase the quality of /prog/ by completing this short user satisfaction survey. Your results will be published anonymously. Anonymously? Sure thing.
• How long have you been on /prog/?
Since 2007, though you won't notice that unless you read every thread.
• Why do you visit /prog/?
Becuase the stuckup meta-autists amuse me in their antics.
• Is there something you would like to change about /prog/?
Less retarded memes. People chewing one low-quality toilet humor joke to suit every thread are pathethic.
• How long have you been on /prog/?
A year or so probably...
• Why do you visit /prog/?
I only visit /prog/ when I'm bored, sometimes there's a good thread, not often enough though.
• Is there something you would like to change about /prog/?
Yes. Better threads. Threads about programming, it's okay with threads about homework and stuff, as long as we won't have to deal with noko and stuff like that.

People who complain about a lack of good threads never make any good threads themselves.
1) 15-45 Minutes once a week for 9 months (longevity is pointless without frequency)
2) I was looking for a place like this, it fills some obscurity fetish
3) Yes, Disallow: /prog in http://dis.4chan.org/robots.txt
