wow this place is a shithole

Look at the front page. What do you see? Some help threads, some spam threads, some memes, some trolling. Not a single discussion. Not a single thread that will make you think before replying. Most of us don't know any language besides Scheme; but maybe knowing Scheme should be considered a great achievement, since ¼ of us can not program at all? They're here for the memes, the very memes we have harvested, the ones that now thrive on the rich soil provided by spamming and trolling. All potential is thwarted even before it has the opportunity to unfold. Recall countless threads that have been meme-spammed. Good threads they were, something was glittering behind the wave of repeated slogans. But it is always shadowed by the massive amounts of the catch-phrases.

Wake up /prog/, BBCode will not get you a job! Scheme will not get you a job! We achieve absolutely nothing by contributing to this board. Nothing creative, nothing of useful value is conceived in the chaotic entrails of this lax part of the programming communities. Our little kingdom has been frowned upon by the very one we admire; what is left for us to do? Why, oh why cannot you see that this approach is, in fact, unscientific and ultimately destructive? Why cannot you cease the endless repetition of one phrase? Shed the coat of stereotypes and think for yourself instead of scorning Python every time it is mentioned? Provide actual arguments in the few discussions? It is not something hard, people follow this behaviour and enjoy their communities just like us, plus they add productive value, something we are lacking.

Open your eyes, /prog/.

Think.

Let us partake in the game of dicks.

HAX MY ANUS

HAX MY SHITHOLE

I've been coming to Prague even more rarely lately; I do agree with you, OP, but I'm not sure if this board can be saved. I normally frown upon moderation, but I think that a few bright red (THE USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST) (or (And a good day to you, Sir!)) would help.
I think that it could be glorious if we were to move to a new board (perhaps even with image support). /sicp/ was pretty dandy while it lasted.

Once again, be the change that you want to see.
