What happened to this board?

Thanks, user, your post made me smile.

we anti-reddit nao

Anyone remember when Veeky Forums had math captchas you had to solve to post? It cut out a LOT of shitposting, but shitposting still existed. I think a new math captcha should be done.

It can't be shit like addition, subtraction, and division. It has to be something like Math 55 and done in LaTeX. Or, maybe terribly stupid things like this image.

>now
fuck off reddit

Oh god.

/x/ took over

Thankfully, a lot of /x/ left when /x/ was made. There's still a lot of /x/ still left here though.

use SI units then...

I am a PhD student in pure mathematics, focus on number theory.

There is no captcha that can stop my shitposting. And believe me folks, no one does shitposting like me. My shitposting is great. Other people's shitposting? SAD.

[eqn] \underline{\overline{ \begin{pmatrix} \\ \phantom{\iiint}
\begin{pmatrix}\\ \phantom{\iiint} \mathcal{ Posting ~ in ~ \LaTeX ~ should ~ be ~ mandatory ~ \color{red}{d \color{green}{e} s} \color{green}{u} } \\ \phantom{\iiint}
\end{pmatrix} \phantom{\iiint} \\ \\
\end{pmatrix}
}}[/eqn]

I preferred the /x/ shitposting to 7 race and IQ threads up 24/7 desu

Well, is race/IQ a thing or isn't it?

A light bulb turned on weighs less.

yes of course, as the burning wire loses phlogiston.

They have high correlation of course. But neither "race" or "IQ" have much scientific merit on their own.

I've been coming to Veeky Forums for far longer than I care to admit. In that time, I usually pop in Veeky Forums a few times a year.

Nothing has happened to it. Yeah, specific popular topics change over time, but for the most part, anyone posting here would fit in exactly to those posting here say five years ago. There has never been some golden age where this was a pure board of pursuits of intellect or some other nonsense. Anyone who claims that is a liar.

If they were a thing there would be little need to use IQ as a measure of intelligence. I mean, you'd never need to test a black person beyond looking at the color of their skin and the shape of their skull because they'd always be dumb. These are two separate variables that correlate sometimes.

Please, take a statistics class before you open your mouth on the subject again.

I've been coming here longer and more often. The /pol/ spillage has happened recently and is cancerous.

Veeky Forums - Science & Maths

I kinda miss the old tripfags. The ones who actually made good threads. Like Aether and EK.

>Anyone remember when Veeky Forums had math captchas you had to solve to post?
Uuuh, no? I've lurked Veeky Forums since it was added to the board list. We never had math captchas.

It's actually less retarded than the trash that usually gets posted here, which is really saying something.

>longer
I didn't specify how long I've been here so you have no data on which to base that claim.
>more often
If you don't think IQ/race and college-dick-measuring threads were de rigueur since this board was created, you are sorely mistaken.

As for it being more noticeably /pol/, that's what I meant by the specific topics changing. Trolls are just picking troll topics that more align with the gestalt. It's at least better than the 0.999...=1 threads, timecube threads, and the other insipid posts that are part and parcel to Veeky Forums.

>/pol/ has been refreshing

Discussing the same 5 controversial topics over and over and over is hardly refreshing.

>5 controversial topics
Five? It's the same single goddamn topic over and over again.

Trash is trash. Don't be thankful for better trash. There is more total trash now than before. Veeky Forums used to be a slower board.

>I AM AN OLDFAG I SWEAR, AND I HATE /pol/ BAWWWWWWWWWWW
fuck off
>>>/tumblr/

That's not true. Sometimes they discuss why race-mixing with black is bad. Other times why race-mixing with asians is bad. Lots of diversity on /pol/ dude.

I am an oldfag, and if you don't think /pol/ is a cesspool, you need to go back.

/pol/ is a bunch of white guys who act liek a victim group while criticizing victim groups for non-whites. Just a bunch of pussies who talk about nothing but race-mixing when they themselves are never going to pass on their genes.

>Trash is trash. Don't be thankful for better trash.
If you come to sci expecting anything other than amusing trash...
>There is more total trash now than before. Veeky Forums used to be a slower board.
That's more just the process of more people finding Veeky Forums/hearing about it than a pol invasion.

People hear about it from /pol/'s ebin trolling in the news and come here expecting their edgy garbage everywhere, but when they don't find it, they try to make it, just like how newfags used to come from /b/

Eh, that edgy garbage has always been everywhere though. It's definitely more prominent now, but no board has ever been fully safe from it.

I say it's more prominent because /pol/ has brought more exposure to this site than /b/ ever did, partly because Veeky Forums isn't the spooky hate machine it used to be

To elaborate on "Veeky Forums isn't the spooky hate machine it used to be" is that it's reputation went from "pedo website of hackers that explode vans" to "le epic Twitter raid site that triggers SJWs xD"

/pol/ happened
get used to it

we own your board now

I blame /v/

You're right, IQ is retardation, but race is not a spook.

Duh redpill

This. This is what happened to this board. These scientifically illiterate brainletts who THINK they understand science.

In a word, it's /pol/tards.

Funny enough 90% of you retards who raid and spam every single thread with the world "pol" only to derail discussions and shitpost about your agenda belong to /pol/.

So yeah, you are the problem.

That's an awful lot of words to say >no u

Nice.

because this isn't /b/

it isn't Veeky Forums either

>implying his post had anything to do with science

>implying Veeky Forums likes verbose purple prose

don't even know what is Veeky Forums like. who the fuck likes literature with some shitty context.

Aside from the fact that my post didn't imply that at all, there is actually one link to a peer-reviewed paper in the /pol/tard's post. So technically, yes, it did have at least something to do with science. But that doesn't mean it's not a moronic post still.

>implying Veeky Forums does

you tell me buddy

>/pol/ is a bunch of white guys

>I'm an anti-pol SJWtard rebel
lmao. now we know why all your posts are moronic. good to have you here since were talking about why Veeky Forums has gone to shit.

there you go again, using a whole lot of words to write just >no u

oh yeah, we're all whiteys up the da /paul/ ;)

>We to smart=88.

You can solve this.

Wait, is /pol/ still majority hispanic?

Everybody hates niggers and jews.

>still
Still? Was it ever?

Yes. /pol/ used to be mostly spics.

Kek. Do you have any actual stats on that?

Not really, but I remember a lot of them posting about how they were going to save the white race, and they'd post their wives with them, and they'd be hispanic and their wife would be asian or white.

I don't have it saved but there were a bunch of HWNDU screens and some other /soc/-tier threads on /pol/ there are a lot of hispanics and hispanic-mixed on /pol/, and even quite a few asians, arabs and pajeets. If you hang out on the /pol/ discord much you'll also find a lot of non-whites and for some reason a shit ton of trannies.

It really only takes a reddit newfag to mistake /pol/ as anything but ironic, which is kind of how r/The_Donald came about.

>It really only takes a reddit newfag to mistake /pol/ as anything but ironic, which is kind of how r/The_Donald came about.
you're saying they ironically elected a fucking retard as president

>take
Brainlet detected

bampin

It went full circle though, and r/The_Donald starting going on /pol/ and it became just as bad.

/pol/ ruined Veeky Forums as it has ruined many boards. I browse /pol/ and enjoy it as a board, but like the bronies before /mlp/ was created it can't help but spill into everything else and fuck it up.

Essentially. Not like either option was good, it's just that Trump was essentially a meme and shitposted throughout his campaign, so the idea of having a guy shitpost and meme his way into presidency is humorous

>anything I don't like is /pol/
I know what your problem is

perfect example of what I'm talking about

>any opposition to my opinions is pol
such a majestic boogeyman that pol must be...Do you blame your daily problems on /pol/ too ?
