/g/ truly overtook /prog/ in its entirety. I didn't think that this would actually happen. Well, all that's left is to see if they actually stick around to host a text-only version of their board here, or if they leave in a few months.
When did it start? I left for a couple of months and now it's like i'm on /g/

Yes. It's depressing.
There was a small window of time where I thought /prog/ might bounce back, but then faggots like >>3 came long.
Seriously, why would you post such garbage? Trolling? Nope. It doesn't piss people off. It's funny? No. It's not unless you're braindead.
Trying to force a shitty meme that nobody cares about except you? Probably

It started on /v/ where people actively post crap like dubs and "le" as a way of sagebombing threads.
Newfags came along and thought it was "board culture" and memes; started doing it in any old thread because they thought it was funny and made them fit in.
Now those morons have moved to /prog/ via /g/ and brought their cancer with them.

>/g/ truly overtook /prog/ in its entirety
Nope. Its a dedicated effort by few disgruntled individuals to "kill /prog/" and force /prog/ regulars to migrate to private textboards/forums. Notice the post rate has declined? These posters lurk /g/, take its content, repost here and hope a stray /g/tard(which sporadically do visit) replies to them and stays for a few minutes.
Its a "saturation flood" technique which requires daily injection of content from /g/. If you browse /g/ these /pro/g/ threads will all look like reposts, because the idiots don't even change the style or content.
They just repost and reply to themself. There is no more than 2-3 posters doing this and they all try to imitate /g/ superficially. Also "le forum slide" threads are too obvious, whoever posted that.

I don't need audience to use a forum. (i.e. I can use it as a blog or for storing data/code).
My forum is not really a /prog/ clone(unlike progrider.org), but a more general and serious BBS with emphasis on programming with many other topics. I don't intend to cultivate /prog/ culture there or migrate(clone) content. Its can serve a temporary replacement or refuge, but such things require more moderation, and i will have less time to other tasks. So, i would prefer a slower forum which is easy to moderate, not shitposting central. I don't gain anything from extra posts or popularity.
