Why is /prog/ so shit?

This board is shit. It's like /g/ without desktop threads but worse. There are no serious threads or threads about programming worth reading. The worst part is that it's filled with spam all the time.

1) Was it always like this?
2) Are you satisfied with it?
3) Are mods satisfied with it?
4) Are there any mods?

Elaborating further, the point is it's adolescent to respond "well, that's just the way things are" to any grievance that someone may have. It may be a fool's errand to try and change /prog/ with awareness, since the bona fide trolls that populate this board know what they're doing, but that standard nerd reaction is a red herring, as the poster actually cares enough about the board than to just leave not even mad hurr durr.
