In March, Heyuri made the switch from our old software, to Kokonotsuba. Kokonotsuba used a database system which was vastly different from the old software — and although we were partly successful on /b/, we couldn't convert /q/, nor could we convert the entirety of /b/. Some other boards were also wiped during the process.

At the time, moving to the new software was the number one priority, so these issues were mostly swept under the rug whilst we battled far worse—(looking at you, blackhole-kun).

About 3 weeks ago, I was searching for an old Heyuri banner and found our old codebase from before the switch, which I had stored on a folder named "preprepre" (we've all done that). If not for the rather inconspicuous folder name, I might have found it earlier, but, regardless, It was found. I considered creating a Heyuri museum of sorts, to showcase all the old wiped threads, as well as some other, even older software I had discovered, including a completely untouched edition of the software on May 26th of 2020. But alas, I was too busy to deal with it at the time, and Heyuri wasn't doing so well, so I decided to put it on my long, long, LONG todolist.

Today, I reached it, and I was happy when I saw the entry on the list. So I booted up a new server and uploaded the software, I temporarily rerouted Heyuri's domain to the test server and to my surprise, it took only minor configuration for it to jump into life. Considering the usual state of our software, I found this pleasantly surprising.

After spending an hour browsing through old threads, I realized, suddenly, that I was supposed to be making a museum, so I did, and now that museum is here.

At this state, it only contains pre-koko posts.. However, there are dozens of amazing threads which got wiped, including the entirety of /q/, which was worth saving.
