Well now hold on just a minute:
- kuz didn't create Heyuri, and it was partly his fault (along with
many of the other staff members at that time) that it "died" in the
first place
- Rule 8 already existed as an unnumbered rule beneath the post form
before kuz became co-admin
- nobody was ever able to prove where the partybus came from (according
to one Anonymous back in 2020 during one particular partybus episode,
he claimed it was just him and some old friends of his that he
invited along - neither lolico nor kuz had any idea where the sudden
boom in post activity was coming from, and so I've always doubted the
later claim that kuz had anything to do with it)
- Strange World was originally a kolyma board until kuz was persuaded
by Heyuri users to make it into a Heyuri board - before that point it
was filled with Rule 8 material and other crap like this:

I would still say kuz was net positive because I don't think a lot of
the good things that Heyuri has produced would have occurred had kuz
not been involved... but because he's also been involved with a lot of
the things that made Heyuri objectively worse and has hindered our
ability to grow almost as much as he has helped, it's only a small net
positive (;^Д^)
