Not sure why this /q/ thread was baleeted - in my opinion it shouldn't have been. Anyway, here's the reply I wanted to make to it:

Rule 7 is basically the "don't devolve into modern-day /pol/ or Twitter when it comes to controversial political/social topics" rule. Earlier this year, there was a big increase in the amount of times "tranny" was being thrown about and used to troll/bait (in both directions), so we decided to clamp down on it

It's not that it can't be mentioned entirely, nor that u can't post ur hawt meatspin pr0nz - it's just that any kind of post-2014 style arguments/debates/trolling/"pinkpilling"/needlessly-slipping-mentions-of-it-into-everything/etc. are B&, and less leniency will be shown compared to other political/social topics (where we let a lot of things slide until things go seriously awry)

Regarding what happened in 64704-san's screencap - User A said their favorite game was Fallout New Vegas, and User B replied by calling them a tranny. That's Rule 7, but also Rule 8 due to it apparently being a meme on certain fail websites

Also, friendly reminder to n00b mods: if the action to take isn't clear, or you have any doubts at all, it's best to leave it alone for somebody else to deal with. Definitely don't just listen to the first reply you get on /q/ about it and start baleeting things

Since mod-sama said we can use /q/ to report rule-breaking posts.

You know how, when World2ch got back up, and Heyurians flocked to the site and it was kind of an extension of Heyuri for a while (maybe it still is, I haven't checked in a while.) Well, I was thinking, what if that sort of effect could be replicated?

My idea is this:

1.We find a small site (textboards, imageboards, forums, maybe), which is small but seems reasonably entertaining or seems to have some fairly agreeable users or a fairly reasonable activity level.

2. We turn up in numbers, give the regulars some lolz and a thrill at the uptick in activity.

3. Gradually introduce some of our finer 'heyurisms' into the mix. An emphasis on Lols at the expense of Serious Business, original OC instead of posting templates, discussion about whatever comes to mind instead of gnawing at all the same used up 'culture war' topics. We do all this without compromising the sites own culture or being so bold as to say 'LOL UR UNDER HEYURI CONTROL NAOW!!!'

4. Profit- That is, we made a site at least a little better than we found it.

I hesitate to call this 'raiding' because my idea isn't that we just spam lolis and ads for Heyuri for a few days and then call it a WIN. Think of it a bit like the CIA disrupting the hippie movement, but in a good way. Basically, we try in subtle ways to make these boardz a bit more fun and imaginative. Someone posts the millionth 'tfw no gf' thread, complete with crying wojak? Derail it to talk about Old Skool Hardcore. Someone goes on and on about how getting raped by black guys made them into a tranny? Derail to talk about ramen. Someone wants to babble on and on about 'hating degenerates' and 'soyciety'? Derail to talk about your loli sex fantatsies.

There could be some ground rules I think, including

-We only do it on worthwhile looking sites. A lot of people come here advertising 'baby's first textboard' or 'baby's firts forum', and almost invariably those are flops. Basically I think we should do it on sites where the userbase is small, but not non-existent.

-We only do one site at a time. Socially engineering a website is a pretty tall order, even a small one. This sort of thing will probably get disorganized very quickly if we go around half a dozen different sites simultaneously.

-Insist on lols, but don't be too domineering. There will probably be a lot of R8 content and overdone social media debates. I basically advocate for a Christly philosophy of turning the other cheek. Post a thread of the sort you would usually post on heyuri, regardless of what you think the reaction would be. If they reply with wojaks or buzzwords ignore them or counter with original OC. If they start whining about something lame or trying to turn things into Serious Business just spam 'cheer up emo kid!' or such like. If people keep trying to start shit, just evade them and double down on the lols.

-Experimentation would be good. Maybe you have an idea for some lolz that are in violation of Rule 8, but you think they are objectively funny, or could be made so. Well these other sites wouldn't have Rule 8, so you could do whatever you want.

-Don't be too autistic about it. I think this sort of thing should be seen less as 'making smaller websites just liek Heyuri' and more like 'taking small websites and making them a more hospitable environment for lolz'. It's wouldn't be a hardcore, stake your life on it thing, just show up and provide lols unassumingly. There would be no quota to be met, except maybe refreshing the site after a few days and seeing a few threads worth reading. Basically I think about it like reverse-engineering what happens when a bunch of normies flock to a site and turn it to shit. Imagine a bunch of Heyurians flocking to a site and making it even better.

I don't know, maybe this is bull shit and pretentious. Even regular raids are rarely very effective. At least I got to exorcise some of my megalomaniac tendencies in writing!

I want to compile a guide to the internet for new users, i.e. what sites to use for what, how to find/pirate software and media, etc.
Problem is, I'm honestly pretty new myself. (at least compared to other users here)
Can Heyurians please help? (or am I just st00pid and should lurk moar?)

why was my thread about kubusforever.com deleted

Why the fuck did you have to add the "if she never wiped and never bathed" part!?? I (and probably many others) would've gladly accepted otherwise!! ヽ(`Д´)ノ

https://olduse.net/ has started up again!

For those who don't know, it's a large archive of Usenet from 1981-1991 that's running in realtime, and you can access it using newsreader software

Here's a quick tutorial for Mozilla Thunderbird:

1. File -> New -> Newsgroup account
2. Put in a name and an email address (it doesn't really matter)
3. Put "olduse.net" in as the Newsgroup Server, use whatever name for it or just leave it
4. Right click the new account you made on the left folder pane and click Settings
5. Go to Server Settings on the left under "olduse.net"
6. Change the port to either 11940, 11941, or 11942 (they are 40, 41, and 42 year delays respectively). I recommend 11940 to see the most activity
7. Come out of the settings, right click on "olduse.net" again, and click Subscribe
8. Scroll down the list of newsgroups and subscribe to the ones that interest you
9. Close that window, click on the newsgroup of choice, and press Get Messages
10. Read Usenet posts from 40 years ago!

Now post fun things you find (´∇`)

heyuri is not a company. its not a place that adds junk for outlier users. its one persons vision that is not controlled by there stock holders or a overseer rules (overseers being like discord and other chat places).

you could say its the people who run heyuri. but would it still be the same if it was a place like discord while still having the same rules and owners?

there is even meta memes on discord that is, one user takes a meme from one sever and posts it in another.
just copy and paste the same reaction GIFs and stickers over and over until it becomes super unoriginal.

even if that spam was stopped on discord, it would not even be as fun, as i had ran 3 servers with 500+ users but stepped down from them each due to me being bipolar or "gone schizo again"

I was looking at this thread and the bass hunter video caught my eye with the irc client.
https://img.heyuri.net/b/koko.php?res=64627#p64630

the irc chat room was flying. he had control over the room. he was not pressured by anyone but besides himself to make changes as he see fit. it seemed perfect. what i believed killed it is people who had a vision and knew how to set up things like that, lost interest. the vision people got from it was also lost. this could be how things like Skype and discord got around in popularity since it was like person's vision but more stable since its a company. that then turns bad because share holders and increasing profit margins by any means necessary

i might have just explained culture with shared vision?

my last discord server was music server. once i stepped down, it kinda collapsed with me. but the others who got the power really really did nothing with it and it bled out (due to no vision?). it became a place where the people would only post a new song and then tab out until next song release.

what I believe makes heyuri the place to be is. the owner and not being pressured to fallow a format. it being a platform that can easily add new things. the people running it has a vision (witch is not as simple as the average person thinks).

I believe the hardest part is getting noticed as a website on the internet.

Should I learn Japanese or Chinese? I love Japan, but people say China is the future.

I've been talking to a girl recently for the first time in years, and she invited me to play a game with her over the internet next weekend. Now what I really wanted to do, was to invite her over to my house to play ps2 games, but I'm not nearly as intimate with her to say such a thing. So instead I must choose a game to play with her, since she's also not familiar with co-op games.
Any suggestions, heyuri? Something that runs on windows XP, pretty please? I only thought of minecraft, but I've played minecraft to death already.

i am gonna assume posters here are some what tech smart.
as person who i belive got "cheated" in academa. i notice that friends who are not like me and who do go to collage and university, they are way far behind then what kids in the 70,80,90s would have been learning.
these friends have a goal in life but i dont belive the path they are on helps them.

as a neet who gave up games and youtube. i left my self either trying to find new bullshit to consume or study hard on what i truly want.
when i do study what i truly want, i compair with my friends who is in collage for similar goal. they are way further behind, they dont understand anything i belive is important foundation.

all sort of "reaserch" seems to have turned to use corporate products and not reserch made products, thats why things like unix(bsd) and lisp has died out and in favor for things like redhat linux and python/javascript. ye python is ok and redhat has unixlike at its core but you see its no longer about research.
if you cant understand the foundations you are working on due to corporate abstractions then innovation is killed.
a system built on secrets is a system that will die once the secrets are forgot. rome...

hey this place changed since i last visited about two to three years ago
is it still obligatory to pretend to be an olefag of 2004? i really don't care about fitting in anymore and i just want to live life.

It's time to invest into African internet culture as the new street cred.
