| ===Personal life=== | | ==His Involvement== |
| Kuz is [[Women|married]] and lives in Tennessee, however he has repeatedly said he plans to move to the [[Kaguya|Turkish]] Republic of Northern Cyprus, an island owned by Turkey, leading many to believe he plans to have [[In The Pooper|buttseks]] with [[Kaguya]].
| |
| | |
| Kuz runs a blog at [https://kuz.lol kuz.lol] where he has wrote about his life, his websites, and his views.
| |
| | |
| Kuz is a fan of Elvis Presley, judging by some of his online profile pictures and his ''[[Vidlii]]'' channel.<ref>https://www.vidlii.com/user/kuz</ref>
| |
| | |
| Kuz is well known on several sites outside of Heyuri, for both good and bad reasons.<ref>https://wiki.bibanon.org/index.php?title=Yuri_Kuznetsov_(kuz)</ref><ref>https://wiki.soyjak.party/index.php?title=Kuz</ref><ref>https://archive.ph/QWh0b</ref>
| |
| | |
| Prior to Heyuri, kuz was the owner of a Russian textboard called [[9chan|9channel]], and apparently appeared on TV in Russia several times.

| Kuz is a important figure on the site, even after his resignation, as the vast majority of Heyuri's lifespan took place under his rule. As of yet, he has been the longest reigning admin, ruling for just over 2 years.

He was at Heyuri's helm for almost 2 years if you include the 3-month stint as co-admin in 2020. During that initial co-admin run with lolico, Heyuri's activity went up by 600% from what it was previously, peaking in July 2020<ref>[https://heyuri.net/#news19 NOTE: When this graph was made, July had not finished. It would turn out to be Heyuri's most active month of that year]</ref>.

This time period was dubbed the "[[Golden age of Heyuri|golden age of Heyuri]]"; a timespan which is usually said to have lasted from roughly May to August 2020. Towards the end of this period and immediately following it, a schism between kuz and [[lolico]] occurred that (along with various [[Akima|other factors]]) tore the site, its staff, and its users apart, and Heyuri entered what was later dubbed its "[[Drama|dark ages]]". |
| | |
| Kuz first posted to Heyuri (at least publicly) on May 1st, 2020,<ref>https://archive.ph/KEFfH</ref> when he created the historic "tomo thread".
| |
| | |
| ==On other websites==
| |
| | |
| === 9channel ===
| |
| 9ch was a Russian textboard kuz used to own. Very little is known about it in the english world, see [[9chan]] for more info.
| |
| | |
| === Vidlii ===
| |
| On February 4th, 2022, KNN, a news aggregator website affiliated with kuz, announced that Kuz had bought [https://vidlii.com Vidlii.com].<ref>[https://live.kolyma.org/newsplus/koko.php?res=172 Kuz announces purchase of Vidlii]</ref>
| |
| | |
| In kuz's typical, whimsical fashion, someone first suggested kuz buy Vidlii on Ayashii World, to which kuz replied "Thanks for the idea"<ref>[https://archive.ph/vMdX3 Log Warehouse, Ayashii World]</ref>, and literally hours later it was announced he had purchased the site, to the surprise of many users. The sudden purchase shocked and excited many, and plans were discussed.<ref>https://ayashii.net/bbs.php?m=t&s=2586&c=08&ff=202202.dat</ref> Kuz stated he would utilize this for Heyuris benefit, although no Heyuri ads appeared until months later. Apparently this was because kuz wanted to quietely introduce a user banner system, then add Heyuri banners, however kaguya said "fuck that" and just put up a Heyuri video on the front page, which drew many new users to the site.
| |
| | |
| Kuz initially recieved alot of controversy after users discovered his anti-LGBT writings, but it was quickly suppressed, more controversy followed when a Kolyma-affiliated channel started uploading Russian Propaganda to the site, causing some users to leave "in support of ukraine", although for the most part no one cared, and no action was taken.
| |
| | |
| Kuz shares adminship of the website with lolwut, although it was suggested that kuz later just became the sysadmin.
| |
| | |
| === Kissu ===
| |
| Kissu is a imageboard which is owned by one of kuz's many "public enemies", kuz's rivalry with its two owners were a source of embarrassment and downtime for Heyuri for many months until kuz's abdication.
| |
| | |
| Kissu and Heyuri regularly attacked eachother, with kuz alleging one of its owners, Oregonian Programmer "Robert Brown" was a pedophile and spammed "terabytes" of CP on his sites, while Brown said kuz was a "unstable psycho" who kidnapped and manipulated teenagers and forced them into coding bootcamps, and also that he had forced employees of his company to download spyware. None of the claims made by either are supported by concrete evidence, however both maintain their rivalry today.
| |
| | |
| The other owner of the site, 30 year old Kai Niccol-Griffith, is a /jp/ lolcow who kuz accuses of slandering him and maliciously ddos'ing his websites, while Kai claims kuz tried to use kissu to advertise his websites, Kai called kuz a "self obsessed creep" and kuz retorted saying Kai was "autistic" and suggested he had gynocomastia, as well as [[AIDS|HIV/AIDs]], which kuz himself is known to have.
| |
| | |
| === Soyjak.party ===
| |
| Soyjak.party, more commonly known simply as the 'party or the 'sharty is an imageboard based around soyjaks. Kuz has an incredibly extensive history with the website which ended in him purchasing it in January 2022. The topic is a hugely contentious issue and the resulting scandal contributed to kuz resigning later that year.
| |
| | |
| === Gurochan ===
| |
| [[Gurochan]] is kuz's largest website, although it is currently owned by [[Kaguya]], kuz revived it in early 2021.
| |
| | |
| Kuz first brought it back with co-admin "Straitjakit", whom now ranks among kuz's list of "defeated enemies". Straitjakit and Kuz ruled together for about 10 seconds (January 29th - February 13th) before kuz's abrasive personality and straitjakits down syndrome collided and kuz kicked him out, resulting in huge drama. Despite initial flak, the userbase gradually began to take kuz's side. Now pretty much everyone sides with kuz, as straitjakit is despised by most of the community.<ref>https://dis.guro.cx/dis/koko.php?res=420#p1140</ref>
| |
| | |
| Kuz gave the website to Kaguya in June of 2021, although he still owns the domain and manages the backend.

| Kuz maintains a Gab account,<ref>https://gab.com/realkuznetsov</ref> as does his [[Kuz#Nedelya Kuznetsova|wife]]<ref>https://gab.com/nedeyanova</ref> and several other kolyma users, such as Kaguya<ref>https://gab.com/kaguyarou</ref> and Yuka.<ref>https://gab.com/maximov</ref> Many kolyma users made kolyma accounts after kuz sent out a global message telling everyone to create an account. | |

|
| ===Owned Websites===
| | After more than a year of Heyuri's user activity failing to rise above rock bottom, claims that Kuz had been neglecting the site to focus on his other projects, and increasing user discontent towards Kuz's off-site activity and the direction he was attempting to move Heyuri in, Kuz stepped down as Heyuri admin in late April 2022. He later wrote a blogpost titles "Reflections on Heyuri", where he reflected on Heyuri and his decision to leave. He expressed that he felt the users had grown away from him, which was partially the reason he left.<ref>https://kuz.lol/blog/heyuri-reflections.html</ref><blockquote>"''the real reason is more complex than I wrote on the newspost and on /q/. While yes, I did have less time, I also felt the userbase had lost a significant connection with me and my antics on other websites had caused some upset. I put alot into Heyuri, aside from countless hours working on development of the sites software, I also posted there heavily, being in the top 10 contributors, at least for a while. I oversaw personally the creation of almost everything on Heyuri, good and bad, even when lolico was still sharing the helm with me. Even today, I was 100% behind the creation of the newly relaunched Heyuri Historical Society, and my maintenance work generally goes unnoticed.'' |

k♡♡z during Heyuri's "
golden age", wielding his mighty b&hammer!
kuz, also known as k♡♡z is a former administrator of Heyuri, and a long time contributor to the site. Joining the site in early 2020, he became the co-admin in May, and by June migrated Heyuri to his own servers.[1][2] Kuz is known for his unpredictable and eccentric behavior, something he is/was loved for on Heyuri. He created Rule 8[3] as well as several other important parts of Heyuri, he led the development of "Kokonotsuba".
On April 25th, 2022, he stepped down as admin and gave his position to Kaguya[4], saying he had "less time" and "less motivation" but still believed Heyuri had huge potential and was his "favorite website",[4] but a later blogpost revealed that his reason for departure may be more complex[5]. As of April 2024, Kuz has no public presence on Heyuri, but it's rumored that he still assists Kaguya with the maintenance of Heyuri's servers and backend.
His Involvement
Main article: Heyuri
Kuz was an important figure on the site, even for a long time after his resignation, as a large portion of Heyuri's foundational years took place under his rule. He was at Heyuri's helm for almost 2 years if you include the 3-month stint as co-admin in 2020. During that initial co-admin run with lolico, Heyuri's activity went up by 600% from what it was previously, peaking in July 2020[6]. He asserts this is mostly because of him inviting tripfags from 9chan[7], although a wide variety of factors also contributed to this. This time period was dubbed the "golden age of Heyuri"; a timespan which is usually said to have lasted from roughly May to August 2020. Towards the end of this period and immediately following it, a schism between kuz and lolico occurred that (along with various other factors) tore the site, its staff, and its users apart, and Heyuri entered what was later dubbed its "dark ages".
Kuz first posted to Heyuri (at least publicly) on May 1st, 2020,[8] when he created the historic "tomo thread". <-- kuz has claimed to have arrived earlier than this; this is probably just the earliest archived thread.
After more than a year of Heyuri's user activity failing to rise above rock bottom, claims that Kuz had been neglecting the site to focus on his other projects, and increasing user discontent towards Kuz's off-site activity and the direction he was attempting to move Heyuri in, Kuz stepped down as Heyuri admin in late April 2022. He later wrote a blogpost titles "Reflections on Heyuri", where he reflected on Heyuri and his decision to leave. He expressed that he felt the users had grown away from him, which was partially the reason he left.[9]
"the real reason is more complex than I wrote on the newspost and on /q/. While yes, I did have less time, I also felt the userbase had lost a significant connection with me and my antics on other websites had caused some upset. I put alot into Heyuri, aside from countless hours working on development of the sites software, I also posted there heavily, being in the top 10 contributors, at least for a while.
