Interestingly enough, an edition of the Encyclopedia Galactica that fell through a time-warp from 200 years in the future defines the Marketing Division of the Cirius Cybernetics Corporation as: "A bunch of mindless jerks who were the first against the wall when the revolution came."

The voice of an entity that tries to speak for other people without anybody requesting to have a voice. Someone there to deprive everyone else of their own voice, but says they want to give everyone a voice by being their voice.
The girl wanted to be the voice of a neighborhood she wasn't even from, which was highly inflammatory to people who really were from there. They didn't feel like they needed a media/corporate appointed voice that wasn't their own.

A imageboard buyout corporation is typically a super large organization like Google that buys a large enough share to basically exert near full control over a imageboard.
The imageboard itself would undergo changes like using the parent organization's CAPTCHA system. Sometimes the moderation on the imageboard will change, too. Thi
s reason is why bans on 4chan are more steady like bans on YouTube.
A lot of the time the actual owner will point to someone other than the IBC and say "He's the owner guy". Many users of the now bought-out imageboard would swiftly call B.S. But, they will put up with the IBC in exchange for a platform to spread their memes.

Ghee, Moot sure sold Google out to 4chan back in March 2016. Talk about a Imageboard Buyout Corporation (IBC).
Now that I think about it, New York Times would make a good Imageboard Buyout Corporation (IBC) for 8chan especially after the recent school shootings.

The most common, if not the only message you will see when linking to Microsoft's "solution pages" after using the error reportingfeature
Example: When my PC couldn't play music due to a "missing audio device error" I linked to this message screen.
So I went looking on message boards for similar issue and found one. The person posted about how Microsoft had nothing.
That forum entry was posted two YEARS before.

Me: Oh cool! I can just link to Microsoft's solution page! How convenient....
This problem was caused by Windows. This program was created by Microsoft Corporation. Microsoft Corporation does not currently have a solution for the problem that you reported.
Me: You've got to be kidding. Oh Cool! Windows has a built-in help program....

1. (Verb) To systematically ruin a perfectly good workplace over the course of several years. Enacting pointless and counterproductive policies in order to save face and money though they make a shit-ton. The "blood from a stone" mentality.
2. To fuck everyone over for nothing other than pure greed.
