Write a schedule and set tangible goals to keep track of progress and measure it. Read 40 pages today, finish course by end of month, write a program this week etc. It's the same as physical training, just keep going.

Maybe you should browse Reddit instead if you're used to reading the top comment (usually one liner) and collapse to the next without engaging in any real discussion.

The thing I was most interested in was backbone, and it just links to the original site. I mean the colors are nice but this is pretty much useless.

I congratulate moot for the job. 4chan's change over the years has been minimal. The biggest change was probably the captcha - initially it was a temporary fix to flooding and spam at the time, but it stayed since there doesn't seem to be an alternative. Those that use 4chan enough for the captcha to get annoying, the $20 yearly pass was a great way to get around it and to allow us to support the site as well.

Also the introduction of some of those boards was simply to get shitposts out of other boards (e.g. /soc/ was created to cleanup /b/ and /r9k/). Worked great.

However, I have to disagree with the sage thing. While originally the term was used to not bump a thread (implying that your own post was not worthy of bumping a thread back to the front page), in the last five years (and before that, to some extent) it HAS been used as a way to 'down vote' a thread.

Yes I'll just quit my job and magically start making money from home. This site is getting shit.

Very risky, he was lucky the air miles program didn't hire a bunch of lawyers and get out of giving him anything.

Yes I read the article too.

So everything is about money, not doing something adventurous and exciting. zzzzz.

Why not just answer the question? Why all the secrecy surrounding cost when one could easily find out how much something costs? If somebody asks, it's because they are curious of the value. 10-100k is a huge range that most islands would fit into.

Why not just disclose the price?

>the overly zealous moderators have ruined the welcoming community image.

I'm glad someone said it. Before they would at least leave a comment, or ask the user to elaborate or rephrase the question, now they just close. I see so many questions closed INSTANTLY, with no explanation, and most of the time it's not even rightly so.

Of course the vague rule about rules defined by the community allow them to do anything. Once again, moderation has ruined another website.
