>Is there any places we can grow Heyuri in? Places that we could hold a partnership with somehow?
As much as I loev Heyuri and want this place to flourish, it's very tricky with the way things currently stand. The kinds of word-of-mouth promotion and partnerships we once had are now very difficult thanks to all teh drama, trolling, and butthurt that often ensues whenever Heyuri and associated sites/persons are namedropped. Onlookers who might have totally been interested in Heyuri end up not touching this place with a 9001ft pole when they see all the negative hullabaloo that gets generated whenever its brought up

Those who joined us more recently might be unaware, but once upon a year and a half ago (back when LOLico was still the main admin/dev and Heyuri's reputation had not yet been thoroughly dragged through teh p00p) we were in fact partnered with another board: 3chan. We had a link to their site on Heyuri, and they had link to ours on 3chan - it was a happy little internet friendship (I cannot confirm nor deny if penises were involved)

However, that partnership was senselessly slain when somebody crapflooded 3chan's entire site with internal Heyuri drama and s*yjak spam A LOT. This was despite the fact that 3chan had the decency to let us take refuge on their site after ours had been obliterated. It was a certified trainwreck, and even though I don't think it was the fault of any earnest Heyuri user, I don't blame 3chan for HAETing us now

It's such a shame, because its those kinds of partnerships and us having a reputation as being "the friendly, drama-free site that just wants everyone to get along and for the internet to be TEH AWESOME" that would (and did) do wonders not just for us, but for this entire side of teh interwebs, but... well, the honest truth is that some very shortsighted people would prefer to partake in st00pid brain-dead internet fights and crusades against various sites/admins, and now much of the goodwill towards us is teh g0ne

>we got a huge boost because kuz advertised heyuri to his other site 9ch and they all came in
It's worth remembering that they were only so inclined to come over because they no longer had a site of their own to call home - all the biggest movements in history (in both internets and Real Life) are due to people losing their previous homes

>No more doomerist/alarmist bullcrap in mai /q/
I'm all aboard the "positive thinking with no basis in reality!" train, but I don't think we'll get very far if we just re-attempt all the same things we've tried before while sweeping an entire circus-worth of elephants in the room under teh rug (it's a very big rug)
