I didn't even realize cross links were fixed (or broken). I still post on the image boards sometimes and I redirect people to the text boards if it's more appropriate (e.g. Japanese language threads on /jp/, or programming threads outside of /g/). /prog/ is linked in the frames and on the front page. No matter how much of an ADD-troubled teenager you are, you can find it. If you want to make newbies better posters, write an FAQ and keep it bumped or something. Shitposters will shitpost no matter what.
