you are spot on, OP. Last time this site was remotely good was in the kuz era

>Last time this site was remotely good was in the kuz era
You mean the time when the site's activity cratered - often having 0 non-spam posts per day, was nearly absorbed into a conglomerate BBS, frequently devolved into meta arguments, and rarely had anyone making OC - and didn't start picking up again until after he left?

>>69150
kaguya wasn't fully independent until the dissolution of kolyma which happened in july 2024, ans prior to then he still administrated under kuz's direction, kuz simply retreated from public eye to help heyuri move from drama.

Also, including the akima era and downtime as "kuz" is.....

>kaguya wasn't fully independent until the dissolution of kolyma which happened in july 2024, ans prior to then he still administrated under kuz's direction
No he didn't - kuz was still involved with the hosting side of things for a long time after stepping down, but he had nothing to do with the direction or moderation of the site (minus a brief period around Feb/March 2023 where he tried to re-insert himself - causing a lot of drama in the process - and then stepped away again)

>kuz simply retreated from public eye to help heyuri move from drama
That "drama" was all kuz-related and caused by himself. And the real reason he stepped down was because he was at odds with the userbase, had been neglecting Heyuri's moderation and development since mid-2021, and had become more interested in various other projects/sites he was involved with

>Also, including the akima era and downtime as "kuz" is.....
There was no "Akima era" - the hack lasted less than a day, and lolico swiftly closed the site indefinitely. Kuz (along with lolico and Akima) was a significant part of why everything imploded in the first place, and kuz was working on several non-lolico Heyuri reboot attempts immediately after lolico's closure. After those attempts failed, kuz was in support of letting Heyuri die and replacing it with SH until he was finally persuaded by users to bring Heyuri back again

Even if you take that period out, the "kuz era" still begins in December 2020 and ends in April 2022 - the most inactive and depressing time in Heyuri's history

>prior to then he still administrated under kuz's direction
I did have total independence from kuz. As I said back then: That said, he is my close friend whom I regularly talk with, so I can still consult for his views when I want. You can say I value his opinions
>he had nothing to do with the direction or moderation of the site
Not directly... I suppose there was just some ToS of KolymaNET, but he was more easy-going because of me and didn't want to cause troubles/possible dorama
>a brief period around Feb/March 2023 where he tried to re-insert himself
Are u talking about the textboard template? What happened there caused more dorama than I'd liek, but it was all under my supervision. He proposed switching to a more developed version (since noone else was developing koko at the time) made by him for his another project (apiru). I didn't support the idea through, but decided to see what users had to say anyways. They didn't like it so I made him convert back. From thereon I don't think he ever tried to step in with KolymaNET.
>And the real reason he stepped down was because he was at odds with the userbase
It's not false that userbase had a distaste at that point due to his involvement with R8 sites, but many others were sad to see him leaving Heyuri (including you - see your own post while he was stepping down: >>61213 )
>kuz was working on several non-lolico Heyuri reboot attempts immediately after lolico's closure
at the first, he was trying to convince lolico to work together but that didn't work
>After those attempts failed, kuz was in support of letting Heyuri die and replacing it with SH until he was finally persuaded by users to bring Heyuri back again
This is just incorrect. By late September (I'll declassify this much), Kuz, me, Skyzzerz and another individual were working under 9CG to bring back Heyuri by any means in a daily basis. I don't want to detail what made lolico to give up but it wouldn't be without kuz really wanting to bring Heyuri back. At the end lolico regretted his actions, we all made up and became friends so it's OK
>December 2020 and ends in April 2022 - the most inactive and depressing time in Heyuri's history
Personally, I perceived December 4 boot of Heyuri to be a miracle and was very optimistic thereon
There were ups and downs at that time too, but I'd give that title to the time between Heyuri going down and kuz making his mind to revive Heyuri.

He has said to me that he'd like to make up with u somehow, but was also perplexed by what he called sourness

Upsetting a Heyuri staff member to the point where either his face turns red, or any bodily fluid including but not limited to tears, sweat, urine, snot, diarrhea, semen or precum leaks out of him as a direct or indirect result of looking at the post in question. Whether one of these conditions are met immediately upon looking at the post or at a later time while reflecting upon what was observed in that post is irrelevant.

"Overdoing it" includes:
- flamewars, shitflinging, trolling
- being an obnoxious /pol/ack or SJW
- "culture wars"
- propaganda
- radicalization attempts
- astroturfing
- needlessly inserting politics into everything
- any form of trans-related discourse; positive, negative, or indifferent (tranny pr0n & hawtness are still allowed though, see: >>68376 )
etc.

Mature, non-heated discussions about various political topics are allowed, but I'd generally recommend using Lounge instead of Off-Topic. Political humor/satire/parody is allowed too, but not if it's going too far into "overdoing it" territory or is otherwise rule-breaking

>>69087
You sound liek the upset one here, but I'm not sure why

I couldn't think of a better wording then

It's applied case by case, but apart from mature discussions, you could express dislike for an X nation/group/class, but you can't write paragraphs about how u want them dead.
It may be enforced more strictly if it's all we found that one is posting about on Heyuri too.

Heyuri deserves cake

Heyuri deserves rape

I might have it saved somewhere, but it would be easier if you told me when it was posted (year and month)

there's been a lot of discussion about why there will not be a video game board

Both of you should make up and have gay sex

And send a tape to me to... uh... prove you did it

>>69056
be grateful he can't call you the actual word, noobfag.

>>69058
I know your the noob because if u werent you would know heyuri is not a site where being an oldfag is celebrated. noobs rule here!

>>69059
I'm aware. It's just funny that you get butthurt over "elitist sassiness"

>the thread turns into thirst farming
That generally happens because they're looking for attention. Here are a couple of threads up right now in /j/:

>i have so much shows and anime to watch and so much manga to read...... i cant possible get it all in b4 summer ends.... its too much....

>Ozzy Osbourne is... is dead!

>I think boys should date other boys!

>My friend is in her tarot card phase and now she wont shut up about her predictions and tarot youtubers. I'm ok with tarot but I'm sick of hearing about it

>this site needs more yuri

Those are good threads that don't give away or rely on the gender of the user. All of which could appear on /b/ and no one would bat an eye


>i dont think dead threads matter all that much, if someone wants a fast paced site
Activity isn't the main issue. /jp/ is still conceptually justified despite not having many posts. Same goes with /lounge/, comparatively.
It's all about purpose. There 4 different porn boards that almost no one uses. Why?

>An overboard was created because there were so many boards, that doesn't mean there should've been that many boards in the first place.
It was the overboard that came first before any board additions were considered

kokonotsuba not having an overboard at launch was why 2020-era Heyuri's boards got axed in the first place

>>69045
>Those are good threads that don't give away or rely on the gender of the user.

Whats wrong with girls talking to girls? ┐(ﾟ～ﾟ )┌

i need /j/ so that i can talk about sewing and dolls without being made fun of

Theres too many damn boards. /j/ is goddamn useless! Remove them

>>68997
yeah like that is exactly the purpose of a tripcode to begin with.

i think a feature like that is really only good in places like 4chan where there is a lot of samefagging, manipulation, etc.

A place like heyuri doesnt need that. if an OP wants to be OP they can specify it, if not, then they should have the choice to be anonymous.

Can we have a report widget attached to posts? Makes it easier to communicate things like the pizza decaying at the very top of /c/ right now.

>Can we have a report widget attached to posts?
Stuff liek CP spam gets dealt with the moment one of us checks the site. Without some kind of "desktop notifications" feature, we wouldn't see the report until we were already checking the site anyway - at which point the report becomes redundant. It just gives us yet another thing to look at and manage, which we really don't need

If u see that kind of material left up for more than 10-15 minutes, the current best thing to do is head to Chat@Heyuri and mention it there - staff-san are usually lurking, and it makes a "ding" sound when new messages come in

>>69025
I've seen that kind of stuff up for several hours on at least 3 occasions so far. Will go to chat@ next time though.

why did my post about heyuri-2ch relations got deleted

added the banners above to the page, thx for creating
Among other ratios (I'm not sure which is used moar often than others), we can also have some 88x31 buttans if anyone is up to designing

>you could try the fellow who runs futabaforest
I don't see any kind of "links" section on their site, so it's not likely to happen
I've seen many Futaba/Nijiura derivative sites who I'd have contacted if they didn't die off long ago...

Besides the usual 88x31 buttons and 468x60 full banners, these were also very common standards back in teh day:

- 120x60 (button)
- 125x125 (square button)

- 234x60 (half banner)
- 728x90 (leaderboard)

- 120x240 (vertical banner)
- 120x600 (skyscraper)
- 160x600 (wide skyscraper)

i tried to before and i would need to do lot of processing on it

test

If theres anyone who uses the ATF forums, you could put a link to heyuri in your signature. i dont go there much, but doing that might increase usership of /l/ (´ー` )

>>69011
That's a terrible idea. There are a lot of Sus people on that board. I should know, I occasionally visit that site myself.

...I'm not Sus! Σ(ﾟдﾟ|||)

>>69013
ur right that is a terrible idea.

Where can i promote my imageboard? i've tried, youtube ads, instagram ads, reddit, but nothing works. Does anyone know how can i make 20chan grow? :CCC

>>68959
sell your soul to me, and i will make your wish true

o_O

Just because something exists doesn't mean that there's any demand for it

To get anything even remotely close to Heyuri, you need to pray that a lot of stars align (in addition to putting a ton of work in) - we didn't just click our fingers and have a userbase appear. To just scratch the surface, you'll need to:
- be lucky enough that there's an exodus of users from another site you can provide a new roof for to kickstart things
- hope that some of those users become equally as passionate as you about your website and have them pour a crapton of effort into it over several years
- have the experience/skills to avoid all the various pitfalls and "people problems" that will come your way
etc.

>how can i make 20chan grow?
It's a bit like a newbie athlete asking how they can win an Olympic medal. People can tell you to tie your shoelaces properly and practice a lot, but there are many factors beyond your control that will (more than likely) prevent you from achieving what it is you want to achieve - unless you happen to be very, very lucky

Ive never made my own image board, ive only moderated for a different image board in the past.

But i would recommend if any site is starting, probably to start with as few boards as possible, like.. just 1, and then expanding those boards as users grow.
It would be easier to manage for you, and it will also feel more active when youre just starting.

Heyuri is a great site, and gets good traffic but even with the limited boards it has, its slow sometimes, so if your usership is less than heyuri's you should probably have much much fewer boards - for now.

Ok thank you!

No

DENIED!

The relatively short time-based autosage on Off-Topic is intentional, and is there to inspire the rapid creation of new threads as opposed to propping up the same old stale ones for weeks/months/years. This is a core tenet of the board, and makes it more exciting/unpredictable like Futaba's Nijiura and other classic fast-paced imageboards. The old threads are just there for lurking/reminiscing purposes

Either make a new thread on Off-Topic or post to Lounge if u want a long-term discussion

Fun fact: it used to be set to 3 days, but we increased it to 7 during a particularly slow period several years ago. If anything, we should consider reducing it... ヽ(｀∇´)ノ

i had something planned so i couldnt make it

where's yaku?

I read through the logs, and brick seemed like possibly the worst user on the entire site

I just updated the POTI-board software there to the latest version
If it's still happening, it's probably best to tell its developer... But I need to know what exactly causes it
Also made it so that post is now a reply instead of a separate thread

Thank you kagunya!!!!

Hopefully this will be the end of the mystery problem.
