　│How am I supposed to make friends with other sites like kaguya said when
　│all the other sites are shit (;´Д`)
　│
　└■Maybe teh crux of teh p0rblem is that u believe all teh other sites r 
　　│shit... (´～｀)
　　│
　　│Anyways, u could always get sum1 else 2 play ambassador ヽ(´ー｀)ノ

　　　│Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places but all of heyuris "peers" (other
　　　│imageboards of similar size and makeup) are absolute shit. The only redeeming
　　　│qualities are that which they copied from Heyuri! Seriously. Heyuri users are
　　　│such trendsetters.. the notifications thing, that was ours first! Some of our rules.., 
　　　│hell, even some of our threads, just copied. Heyuri is too good and the
　　　│rest are too shit, they just follow our lead for the most part. Oh yeah, and our
　　　│"heyuri neocities" project too, as soon as we did that, like 15 other sites did
　　　│too.
　　　│
　　　│(;´Д`) Maybe.. Maybe I am too cynical for this. Maybe someone else would
　　　│take pride in seeing this but for me it just seems like blatant unoriginality
　　　│and that annoys me a bit.
　　　│
　　　└■I think "cynical" would be an understatement... (;^Д^)

　　　　│Anyway, we're hardly the first site to do the things we're doing, and I 
　　　　│don't really care what other sites do as long as it's not malicious 
　　　　│garbage that destroys the internet
　　　　│
　　　　│What I ultimately want is a healthy and diverse internet with lots of 
　　　　│people doing lots of cool things, and I'd rather there be moar sites 
　　　　│inspired by ours than not! ヽ(´ー｀)ノ
　　　　│
　　　　│Also limiting our scope to just "other imageboards of similar size and 
　　　　│makeup" seems shortsighted - there are plenty of great websites out 
　　　　│there doing k00l things besides what we're doing ヽ(´ー｀)ノ
　　　　│
　　　　│I liek these sentiments found in this "manifesto":

　　　　　│I also don't mind "unoriginality" on the interwebs. I sometimes find some old
　　　　　│discussions on abandoned places and decide they could fit Heyuri, or see a
　　　　　│cool concept on other sites (not necessarily imageboards) and think it
　　　　　│could be fun if Heyuri adapted them. Since it's creation by loliko, Heyuri
　　　　　│got inspirations from several other sites, and this is a good thing (´ー`)
　　　　　│
　　　　　│However, one thing kuz seemed to miss mentioning is how some site are
　　　　　│antagonizing Heyuri. I am not going to claim we made no mistakes as staff,
　　　　　│but as much as pro-peace I can get, our good intentions sometimes get abused
　　　　　│by staff of other sites. It's not simply a case of "A site owner gets inspired from
　　　　　│Heyuri, makes his site so it resembles to Heyuri". They are trying to surpass
　　　　　│us following ill ways. It's not like I wouldn't appreciate if they were doing what
　　　　　│we are doing but in a better way than ours, but this is simply not the case (;´Д`)
　　　　　│
　　　　　│Else than that, I am all for making friends for Heyuri. What I just talked about
　　　　　│is of course not the case for all sites, and I also agree we shouldn't look only 
　　　　　│for imageboards or for communities with similar size. RIP Diaperbooru, a former
　　　　　│ally for Heyuri, which was a booru dedicated to diapers ;_;7
　　　　　│
　　　　　│I recently made peace with at least one individual "enemy" of Heyuri, he
　　　　　│was cool with helping us at technical stuff of townhalls since he happens to be
　　　　　│in the development team of gikopoi ヽ(´∇`)ノ
　　　　　│I guess there are some other cool people I have good relations in individual basis
　　　　　│but what we are looking for isn't individual people, but different types
　　　　　│of communities about anything. This is something that's easier said than
　　　　　│done, but I believe Heyuri is capable for it
　　　　　│
　　　　　│I also checked out the site you sent. Not sure if here is the best place to mention
　　　　　│this, but it shares some same views with KolymaNET. Especially with hosting,
　　　　　│Kolyma hosts sites for FREE!!1(except you want your own domains, but
　　　　　│in this case we are simply not paying for others' domains. free TLDs liek .cf/.ga also exists)
　　　　　│Actually you know what, I will attempt reaching  the webmaster to tell him about
　　　　　│Kolyma's web hosting, perhaps I will be able to make a connection with them for
　　　　　│all of us' behalf ヽ(´∇`)ノ
　　　　　│
　　　　　└■Well if we do have sites/site owners antagonizing us ("us" as in Heyuri, 
　　　　　　│not as in Kolyma/KolymaNET - we're supposed to be de-Kolyma-ized, and I 
　　　　　　│never associated myself with that project to begin with!) in an attempt 
　　　　　　│to push their own alleged Heyuri ripoffs, they're not doing a very good 
　　　　　　│job cuz I have no idea who they are and I have seen no signs of their 
　　　　　　│existence ヽ(´ー｀)ノ
　　　　　　│
　　　　　　│Unless of course you mean our one true archnemesis... IRUYEH (;ﾟДﾟ)(ﾟДﾟ;)

　　　　　　　　"us" refers to Heyuri as I wrote in my first message, but in their eyes there is
　　　　　　　　no difference between KolymaNET and Heyuri. Whenever one of them gets
　　　　　　　　brought up, the other one follows it. I won't drop their names since discussing
　　　　　　　　this further won't help anything. These are a just a few sites, and internet is 
　　　　　　　　wide enough to ignore them (´ー`) 
　　　　　　　　What we should be discussing now is either which communities we can link
　　　　　　　　with, or how to get moar people to discuss this with us
