I guess this board is special for most of us, and that's why we keep getting back even if it's mostly dead. I regard it as special too; I posted here during an important phase of my life, exactly as Nevan said.
And it's not like I don't have new things to say or discuss, it's that I've gotten much quieter. There's a bit less rage, or a bit more lazyness in me, so I hardly bother to bring up a controversial topic to talk about, and I can't get myself to write about the less important, everyday stuff. But I'll try a couple of topics every now and then.
It's fun how I think of two communities I've been part of as quite important in my life. One is the Granaboard, a videogame community which I was part of as I matured. The other is... I'm almost embarrassed... 4chan. Okay, 4chan's /prog board, the programming board. The fucktards in there, at least during the time I were a regular, were fucking hilarious. I wouldn't walk near them in real life, but not only I had great lulz with them online, but they also played a major role in awakening my true skills in my profession. The Lisp elitism pushed me to, in 4chan /prog terms, read SICP and achieve Satori. Now I'm 3 times wiser than I was just 3 years ago in the field of programming, which is what I like to do in life for money and one of the things I like to do for fun (and sometimes lulz).
(If any of you fags are reading this, all I can say is, how's that related to this thread? Or is it just my way to say "I've read SICP"?)
