I'll add a little more:

You say that you think Heyuri has "lost its feel-good, do-whatever, happy and carefree attitude", and I think that's true to some extent - however, that's primarily because these days Heyuri is constantly being targetted by intentional/compulsive rule-breakers, drama shit stirrers, raiders, insane people who spam dozens/hundreds of nonsensical posts per day, spambots, CP spammers, and so on

Even putting aside the impact that stuff has on the board, when you're faced with that kind of crap half the time you check the site and you have to stop doing all the things you wanted to be doing to deal with it lest the site becomes completely unusable for everyone else, it's difficult to "feel good" or be "happy and carefree" all the time

And what ur also not seeing is that the majority of moderated posts you will have seen were from the same handful of serial Rule 8-posting, ban-evading fags who've been B& dozens of times in the past. They are effectively permab&, but since we don't actually have a permaban feature, we just have to keep dealing with them over and over. They suck and they ruin the atmosphere we often have going, so forgive me if I'm a little dejected or grouchy sometimes

I just want 2 have fun on teh interwebs
