/b/, /q/, and /lounge/ still use kokonotsuba, and it DOES make sense to call it "kuz code" because he owns it and has ultimate control over it. He could take it away tomorrow if he felt like it, and we'd have to rebuild those boards and all their features from scratch. There are also things in kokonotsuba which kaguya cannot see or modify, because only kuz can see and modify them

Here it is from the man himself:

Note 1: kaguya has since made some efforts to detach Heyuri from kuz/kolyma, but only in a couple of areas (and very much in a "it's still owned and hosted by kuz, but now this one small component is a separate instance from the rest of kolyma sites" way). Much of kuz's post above still applies

Note 2: my reply to kuz's Machiavellian drivel above (which all started because he added new politics-fuelled wordfilters to Heyuri despite no longer being the "owner") was deleted by someone other than myself - as have many other replies I've made to kuz or about kuz/kolyma/Heyuri since kuz "stepped down". It happened most recently just a few days ago on Strange World after kuz made a post about "why are kuz haters all faggots" (that was also deleted)

I've also previously been requested by kaguya outside of Heyuri to not talk about kuz or kolyma on Heyuri, nor to tell anyone that kuz still has mod powers on Heyuri (not that he needs them, being the owner of our servers and all - I wouldn't be surprised if still owns the Heyuri domain as well). However, I clearly stated to kaguya that I wasn't signing any NDAs, and that I really don't give a shit about "protecting kuz/kolyma's image" - I only care about Heyuri and it being "the place to be"

So let's drop this stupid "kuz has nothing to do with Heyuri anymore!" facade so we can actually talk about Heyuri's situation honestly again, and without anyone having to bite their tongue, get their posts deleted, receive stupid white lies or "well technically this kuz-owned-and-commissioned code is not kuz code cuz he didn't write it!" answers, or have kuz start shitting the place up and covering his own ass in 3rd person
