HEYURI: A NEW AGE? by kuz - 2021/04/09(Fri)02:44:00
Heyuri has been around for a while, now. Coming up soon is my 1 year anniversary on this website (April 15th). Starting from making threads about Tomo, and up the latter to here. I reminisce fondly about Heyuris early days, even the software. I can still remember when our admin panel looked like it was designed in the back of a high school lab by 2 drunk teenagers. (Was it?)..
After I brought back Heyuri in December of last year, it felt like it was missing some little thing — and I think I know what it is. Heyuri was missing the love that was put into it when we first came about. Heyuri has always been loved by its overseer(s). It started as a passion project for a young man to test his PHP skills, it was always home-grown, it was always down to earth and in with the users. I adored this style, and wanted to become a part of it, so I could contribute to its greatness. and..
It worked — I loved Heyuri and being a part of running it — but over time, the novelty wore off. Heyuri became a sort of chore, and that contributed to its demise half a year later. After bringing it back, I was alone in running it. No one was really there to act as a firm copilot, guiding me and showing me what I should do, in addition, the fights preceding its revival had tired me. You could say I had had more than my fill of Heyuri.
When I first started using Heyuri, when I woke up, I would check /all/ before I even ate my cereal, and over time, I started checking Heyuri less and less, eventually only doing so a couple times a day. It stayed like that for a long while.
Recently, however, sparks of interest starting to come back in me. I started checking Heyuri more often, especially after the 10K get, when a small boost of activity swept the site, in fact, we are still feeling the after affects of that post. Now, Heyuri is something even more special to me. I feel like I worked hard to get where I am, and I now will appreciate those who got me here, and appreciate the position I hold here.
It has been a privilege and an honor to serve as Heyuris administrator. I would not trade it for any other site I own, because Heyuri is special to me. I am proud of what it is, and what it became. My renewed interest in Heyuri will hopefully breathe new breath into a site that had began to gather dust on my lists.
To kickstart our new age, I redesigned the webpage, and added a stat counter. A more detailed version can be found at: https://stat.kolyma.org
I dont plan on stepping down or leaving Heyuri any time in the forseeable future — and — I am excited to see what is in store for the rest of this year.
