'''x7net''' was a very short-lived imageboard advertised on [[Heyuri]] on October 14, 2025. The site's concept was fundamentally flawed, and likely conceived by [[ChatGPT]]. A few Heyurians took advantage of the site's poorly-written nature to have a little fun, and the site was subsequently shut down only an hour after being advertised to Heyuri.<ref>https://img.heyuri.net/b/koko.php?res=158616#p2_158625</ref>

== Infrastructure ==
x7net used firebase for storing posts, imgbb for storing images, and the rest was just client-side JS within an HTML file hosted on github.io... which included the plaintext admin/mod passwords and firebase/imgbb API keys XD. This meant that anyone visiting the site had the ability to gain full access to the site's admin functions: post deletion, bans, stickies, etc.

== Before Heyuri ==

According to [https://github.com/x7net x7net's github account], x7net's repository was created on October 10, 2025. By the time it was advertised on Heyuri, x7net had already been "hacked", with their moderator saying the following in post No.1125 on October 12: <blockquote>Hey everyone, well the Website got all threads deleted by some Anon, and all was changed by porn, and i want to say sorry for lose the threads, i am gonna update a thing</blockquote>

The site consisted of two boards: /g/ - general (with the tagline: "Anything can happen here."), and /ih/ (not archived, but I think it was "internet histories"). Other than that, it had a home page and a rules/FAQ page.

There were only around 35 posts that existed on /g/ at this time, all of which were made between 23:09 on October 12 and 09:33 on October 14. Most of them contained 4 words or less, with many of them just being variations of "hi".

== Heyuri "raid" ==

At 11:28am (UTC), the x7net advertisement thread was posted to Heyuri. [[Anonwaha]] initially baleeted the thread at 11:46, with the reason being that it was a "generic imageboard ad". Shortly afterwards at 11:51, [[kaguya]] restored the thread and (anonymously) made the first reply with an attached screencap of x7net's admin password being in their HTML source. Kaguya then autosage'd the thread.

After seeing this, anonwaha managed to log in as admin on x7net (the SUPER SEKRIT staff login form was simply hidden by CSS with "display:none"). With these newfound powars, he unsticky'd the existing stickies, B& the original mods, and stickied his own admin post saying: <blockquote>DISREGARD THIS SITE, I SUCK COCKS<br><br>I AM MOVING TO HEYURI.NET ヽ(´∇`)ノ</blockquote>

At 12:11pm, anonwaha removed the autosage and (anonymously) posted a screencap of x7net's new sticky, saying: <blockquote>Let's say hi to our new users coming from x7net :biggrin:</blockquote>([https://archive.ph/IEOBa archive of the site at this time])

x7net's moderation team (which, according to their FAQ, consisted of the admin and his friend) deleted the sticky, and there was a small game of cat-and-mouse as anonwaha continued remaking the sticky several times. They tried to ban him (reason given: "being a retard"), but since bans were based on an ID stored in the user's browser, all it took to evade the "bans" was clearing the local storage for the site which would grant the user a new ID, LOL.

By 12:24 - an hour after the site was posted to Heyuri - x7net's admin had pulled the plug, and the site was 404. Kaguya (anonymously) put it best in the advertisement thread: <blockquote>it is amazing - that he had the knowledge to create a client-end BBS, even with ChatGPT, without realizing something was off with the whole idea :sweat2:</blockquote>

At 20:43, kaguya (anonymously) put x7net's HTML/CSS/JS on jsfiddle ([https://jsfiddle.net/4tyku3og/ https://jsfiddle.net/4tyku3og/]). This effectively restored the site since the firebase and imgbb account were still active, meaning that anyone can still post on it. Since then, other Heyurians have made several posts on x7net's reanimated corpse celebrating their new territory.
