It's been a while since I wanted to discuss it but complaints should be the last resort but I don't see other way of change. To readers: have mercy, I don't want to sound subjective or angry, I can't find a better objective description to my abilities and I tried to write it clearly and comprehensively:

It's the porn issue on /b/. I dare say half of all images uploaded to Heyuri these days are porn. It's getting harder to find any will to make a good thread knowing it will be ignored while general porn dump threads are getting bumped for eternity, until a new one is made focused on a bit different fetish and gets 30 replies again.
The insufferable chans are getting filled with 3 things in particular that breaks all bond of good posters and the site; that usually makes them leave or litter the site until completely unusable:
1. Politics - insulting each other and derailing in primitive anger (Heyuri well maintains the issue)
2. News - usually involving car crashes, theft or politics which scores double cretinism score. I count social media as news because they are tightly related. (Luckily not present here)
3. Porn - which is a derivative of most neanderthal urges.

The three are often interconnected, if a poster posts one of these kinds he usually posts all three to a significant degree.
While porn in itself is fine, it's the people who are attached to porn this much that are the issue to quality. While Heyuri doesn't get bothered with politics and news there is no way to look away from porn for a bit.
The entire internet is filled with porn. I just wish for a carefree tiny place that i found it as. To feel as if I was the kid that discovers the wonders of the internet and discuss things being detached from real life for once, to have some fun. In the world I withdrew from into the internet from excessive bullying now even internet fit anymore since all bullies are online, crawling into the shadows of imageboards, after time seeing another home getting conquered by uncultured and primitive pests I got here, I'm concerned its coming here and I would suggest closing the barrier, that is restricting the spread and shamelessly banning the worst ones.

I've moderated a chan once and post history of guys uploading porn frequently are all the same (I can't tell for sure if it was just bad audience I faced that came from obviously and primarly from discord, reddit or other bad chans or it was a coincidence). They are addicts, usually taking part in derailing threads and reposting social media discord server level trash that further lowers the level of the place they are in. The ones that posted the most porn had the tendency to be most obnoxious, both least assimilated and shameless (like that guy who didn't even know who was Kaguya) and don't generate much interactions beside dumping their porn drive - they didn't contribute in any fun and fine threads, none produced OC claiming they don't know how (obvious new internet newbs).

I don't really want to produce OC anymore, I don't want to write a post taking me an hour or two but well polished, I'm not very interested in participating in events too, why? Because it's pointless to feed good content to ones that will eat it, digest and give back in the form of shit. I don't want shit in return. Like one person making a glorious cake while the one other tops the cake with a strawberry believing both did equal jobs.

I'm sorry it's rough post I'm making but I find Heyuri to be special and am concerned about the apparent path right into degradation. I might be wrong but what I learned is that I can't well judge somebody by a few posts and I was lax as a mod for that reason, I'm afraid I was a huge idiot giving respect and freedom to ones too immature to have either of it. Like giving weed to middle-schoolers talking to them respectfully as if we were on an even level, and while it's not 100% certain that they will use their freedom to cause chaos and sin - I think it's realistically improbable that any good will result from allowing them all that. Same with excessive porn posters, driven by primitive instincts or who knows what controls them, too immature to think and care about anything like middle-schoolers, allowed to slowly burn the green pasture that Heyuri is.

I'm sorry for the post. I don't mean agression.

Why is every thread on /b/ a sticky?

I think that quote use should be valid in any case where real quotes would've been used.
For example, using the quoting feature if I'm quoting something that no one said, to make an example or a joke, should still be justified because I'm still QUOTING something, even if it wasn't explicitly said by any other user.

Where did the footer links go

why am I got deleted again

As you can see from this: https://t.me/kolymaofficial/36, kolyma has suspended operations, so naturally we aren't hosted by them anymore. We are fully independent, and I am in charge of everything, including hosting from now on. Kuz has had recent health concerns and can no longer run a hosting company full time.

However, I'm not in a situation to pay for the server bills (of all Heyuri, GUROchan, and some other imageboards, also sites like ２ちゃん and Ayashii), so kuz will continue to pay the server bills for the time being. He is paying out of our friendship, not for business reasons or a contract, and he said he is content with paying for as long as needed. This will be the case until I am ready to pay for myself, but I can't really promise a date on this due to my personal situation. I don't think I will have a stable job for a few years, or my salary will be worth anything in USD... But anyways.

In other news, it seems that Epik (who is our registrar) is having some troubles and may likely shut down soon. This means we need to move to another registrar soon, who would need to allow occasional lolicon and JK< panchira stuff we have on our boards - if you have any suggestions, I would like to hear. We are considering NameSilo.

Was /Heyuri dating/ ever a serious thing?

I made a post about kuz getting aids with this image and it was deleted, why?

I have created 2 "new" themes for Heyuri: Burichan and Heyuri Blue.
https://2ch.sh/user/heyuri/src/155.css
https://2ch.sh/user/heyuri/src/156.css
They may not be 100% perfect, but work fine when pasted into custom CSS in the settings tab. What do you guys think? Maybe it can be discussed further during today's townhall.
Don't forget the URL of base.css when adding, Kaguya

I don't think anons in that thread have problem with loli, just with how many recent threads are just porn dumps. Compare it to many creative and engaging threads from the end of the current catalog (or the earlier ones if you have them archived).

Obviously what those anons should've done is made better threads instead of complaining. Just my two cents.

Sorry, I was trapped in a dungeon so creating this thread a little late

If it's your first time, read about townhalls here: https://wiki.heyuri.net/index.php?title=Townhall - the logs are worth at least taking a glimpse at, though a lot of issues brought up can be considered obsolete today

Date: 15 July Saturday, 18:00 (6PM) UTC
Location: https://gikopoi.world2ch.net/

There will be some complaints about how gikopoipoi doesn't work on old browsers for some reason, but it's more fun than IRC so we will use that. If you aren't able to join in any way, you can still read the logs and make a post-townhall thread to share your ideas

Does Heyuri currently have a higher PPH rate than Heyuri did in the "golden days"?

why does the default filename for yotsuba emotes start with emo like in emo-yotsuba-[relating emotion shown].gif ?

Is there a possibility to change teh preview of PNGs from being a black background - to being 100% alpha? I've no understanding of coding, but instead the use of black -> to 0% opacity.

I think this would make our board nicer.

What is kagunyaa email now that kolyma.net is ded
