Wrong. Go back to wherever you came from, tourist.

The world's intelligence agencies, along with every pressure group and PR agency, realised that what they thought was the bottom of the internet is actually the top. Pic very fucking related.

Those who care, left
When you ask for an improvement, you get no answers, or they just delete your questions.
When constant raid shit up your general for whole year, everyday and no help comes to range ban those fuckers.
How does the ad watcher (4chin user) feel? Everybody start shitposting to no end since nobody cares and people that can get involved in real discussions leave, because shiposting has no end for years.

It started the inexorable decline when OP first showed up

Oh I forgot, Twitter screenshots.
It's like 60% of threads on popular boards.

biz/Jow Forums tipping coin never got integrated.

So 2005. That sounds about right.

>people that can get involved in real discussions leave
they're mostly outnumbered here, many tried cripple but then realized that gay mods ruined most if not all alternatives to Jow Forums, so they went back to forums or stayed here

I often use Jow Forums to think out loud, so to say.

Like this thread here, for example: You'll see me rambling about why I think, in that row, they lost Capital, despite issuing more common stocks, and why they incurred a loss in Retained Earnings.

I actually looked back at my accounting stuff from years ago, and I now think that happened because they issued Treasury Stock (by Apple purchasing their own common stock, it would decrease Common Stock Amount). Apple then Re-issued this Treasury Common Stock at a price below the amount they had purchased, resulting in a Loss, which is be recognized in a Reduction of Retained Earnings.

No one else asked 'what are talking about?', or offered to try and help my understanding. Gotta be the change you want to see, rather than making passive fag threads, like these.

It should have been kept as a sekrit club after all. It's common knowledge that whatever normalfags touch goes to shit and the surround area's IQ drops significantly.
The decline of the chan has been like a shitty bear market, it slowly bled over the years becoming worse and worse (aka normalized). It's practically reddit 2.0 by this point.

Why is the captcha so fucking bad on Jow Forums? I thought Hiro had no control over captchas but on 4channel boards you can sometimes just click at random and the captchas will work after a couple tries but on Jow Forums boards I've actually had to do up to 40 captchas for a single post.

>rather than making passive fag threads, like these.
>YOU ARE NEVER EVER EVER ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT THE NOTICABLE DECLINE OF THIS WEBSITE
Right because this is the only thread I ever make.

nothing
the quality of discussion here never changed

actually this. kek

I tried posting on Jow Forums and I legit can't correctly finish the captcha even after 15+ tries

1. Too many boards ruined /b/, took people making nice threads away.

2. Too many overlapping board subjects ruined /b/ further (Jow Forums, /s4s/, /trash/).

3. 2 MB images on /b/, are you kidding me?

4. Restrictions on posting, long cooldowns between posts, captcha on posts. Nobody imagedumps anymore.

5. Gold accounts. Implement annoying cooldowns and captcha and offer to pay to buypass them, are you kidding me again?

6. 4channel.org for blue boards, more jokes?

7. Global rule #3 is retarded and allows you to be banned for any made up reason.

8. Unable to seriously dispute bans, if you feel you got mistreated by some mod that had a bad day you can do fuckall about it. Your appeal will just get denied as it always does.

9. No fun allowed, if you post a pony gore image outside of /mlp/ some retarded nigger mod might ban you. And wtf is this I hear about some people getting banned for saying nigger on blue boards?

I imagine things like this are extremely common on normie boards like /soc/

The problem is democracy.

Jow Forums is one of the few places where an idiot's opinion will be louder than an expert's.

Which I'm sure feels good for the idiot, but tends to scare experts and other smart people away. No-one wants to reveal a bunch of knowledge only be to out-(You)'d by a retard with a one line shitpost that tells people what they want to hear.

Look at climate change threads on Jow Forums, usually its one person presenting evidence that gets ignored because the truth is too uncomfortable in favor of "lol kike scam xd" which is the comfortable lie.

Press 1 if you hate niggers

the people that cant command a crowd as dumb as Jow Forums are the real brainlets.

>Which I'm sure feels good for the idiot, but tends to scare experts and other smart people away. No-one wants to reveal a bunch of knowledge only be to out-(You)'d by a retard with a one line shitpost that tells people what they want to hear.

It's the nature of supposed anonymity, and lack of accountability. People will talk about their TRUE feelings, and biases, which are not usually allowed to discussed in other forums, or real life, for obvious reasons. And so, you get things like sexism, anti-antisemitism, racism, and a questioning of politically influenced research topics, like climate change or evolutionary psychology.

>he didn't buy the dip

You fell victim to the popular == correct meme.

It's easy to command a Jow Forums crowd, yes, but that doesn't mean the ways to command a Jow Forums crowd are compatible with the truth. Your method only works if what you want Jow Forums to understand is orthogonal to what they want to hear.

>which are not usually allowed to discussed in other forums, or real life, for obvious reasons
Not to imply I think people shouldn't be allowed to discuss the things I mentioned

>People will talk about their TRUE feelings, and biases
you forgot shills user. massive amounts of paid shills, of internet warriors with worthless degrees

tell me about your life. what job do you do? how many hours a day do you game? how old are you? what's your living situation?

>people will talk about their true feelings and biases
You are correct, but that also fundamentally makes it a website where people argue based on emotions and biases. Which explains low post quality and rampant shitposting. People aren't concerned with actual truth discovery here, it's just battling for fleeting moments of superiority regarding your pre-existing view.

Starting to think full anonymity is a failed experiment desu.

almost like that was the death knell really.

Huh? What’s Jow Forums? Is it like 4channel?

>full anonymity is a failed experiment
it's not if you know about ways to weed idiotic newfags out, flooding a site with entitled retards wasn't proven to be beneficial I guess

It works maybe with strong moderation but that is difficult to scale. Jannies on Jow Forums are slow enough as it is.

FUCK jannies

reminder that the oldest meme on Jow Forums is that it used to be better

Attached: deancore.jpg (450x539, 37K)

The real problem was they started actively trying to create meme culture instead of letting it be organic, once that happens then every shill group starts trying to own the conversation and everything goes to shit after that.

A lot. And pic related is putting Jow Forums into next level.

too many normies outnumbered the original posters and oldfags and obviously destroyed the culture

You fags act like it was soooooo much cooler during the habo hotel and Jessie slaughter days. Do you kooks not remember this place was filled with degenerates back then posting literal CP and trolling people into deleting system 32 and making crystals that are actually poison gas? If you miss the edginess it’s still here we just call each other NIGGERS left and right and have actual racists here now to filter out the normies. It’s actually gotten better imo because of less degeneracy like bronies and child molesters. Sure more traffic brings more retards but it’s always been a small amount of smart people speaking up here and there in a crowd of dummies just like the real world. You fags just get stuck in the “back in my day” bullshit like some boomers.

I would disagree that arguing on emotion and biases is "bad" thing. We can't all back each of our statements with p-values and shit. And there are likely to be other places which fit that purpose.

For me, I actually like how Jow Forums is counter-culture. Because it allows people to voice alternative views, and you can begin to flesh out why you feel a certain way, which allows people to understand, and maybe empathize, to an extent - even if you're not backing everything with evidence from studies.

>Do you kooks not remember this place was filled with degenerates back then posting literal CP and trolling people into deleting system 32 and making crystals that are actually poison gas?
>yes I'm implying
>haha le nigger and shieet
the only thing that's convincing in your post is
>Sure more traffic brings more retards
and you didn't even think it through. everyone hates CP, the rest you've mentioned is actually pretty glorious and you're a fag

Not anymore. The internet is saturated with Jow Forums shit.

>you will never post on /sp/ era 2009-2012 again.

It's not specific to Jow Forums but any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakingly believe that they're in good company.
Just look at the anti vax memery, flat earth mouthbreathers and the like.

Hence why "ironic shitposting maymay culture" is truly cancer

Feels pretty good but on the other hand I don't think I can keep watching foreign cartoons forever. I'm already almost 30, even moot is done with anime and that faggot used to cosplay as a girl and go on trips to Japan. Now he's a normalfag and I'm still shitposting about cartoons on the Chan

>schizos need to fucking DIE
This.

So just what I hope to be a final correction (I'm doing this because it'd be good to see more Accounting discussion on this board, by people who are actually fucking competent).

accountingformanagement.org/treasury-stock-cost-method/

>if additional paid-in capital from a previously issued treasury stock is not available then additional paid-in capital-common stock is debited and if additional paid-in capital-common stock is also not available or is not sufficient, the retained earnings account is debited.

Apple Re-issued Common Treasury Stock (which are essentially repurchased stocks). They did so at a price below what they had paid to repurchase these stocks.

This results in a Loss.

Some of that Loss was allocated to the Common Stock Amount. The remainder of that Loss (that wasn't able to be "covered" by Common Stock Amount, through something called Additional Paid in Capital) was then Allocated to Retained Earnings.

Therefore, Common stock was issued, but resulted in a Reduction of Capital, and a Reduction of Retained Earnings.
