■For any random 4chan users who might be lurking, and are confused on
│what this site is all about and where it came from, let me fill you in!
│
│Ayashii World was a Japanese BBS originally founded in 1996. It
│was one of several precursors to 2channel, and it no longer exists
│
│By the late 90s, Ayashii World had splintered into many different
│sites, many of which do still exist today
│
│One of the most active examples is あやしいわーるど@みさお
│(Ayashii World@Misao), which gets a little under 4,000 posts per day:
│
│http://misao.mixh.jp/cgi-bin/bbs.cgi
│
│Many of these splinter sites took on a life of their own, and updated/
│changed their site software to suit their needs, or add extra features
│
│For many years now, nearly all surviving Ayashii World sites use
│scripts that are based on a script called くずはすくりぷと
│(KuzuhaScript)
│
│One such example of a currently maintained KuzuhaScript-based script is
│KuzuhaScript PHP +, as used on あやしいわーるど@蛭ヶ岳
│(Ayashii World@Hirugatake):
│
│https://hiru.coresv.com/bbs.php
│
│And the script itself:
│
│https://hiru.coresv.com/ksphp-plus/
│
│The site you're currently browsing - "Strange World", founded on
│2021/03/29 - uses that same script, only with the user interface
│partially translated into English by our admin kuz, who is the owner of
│several other bulletin boards and imageboards
│
│Contrary to what you might have heard, this is not the first attempt at
│bringing Ayashii World to the English-speaking world - I'm not sure who
│that honor goes to - but there was at least one site I know of that
│immediately preceded this one
│
│It went by the name "Sonzainashii World", and it was owned by the
│elusive Mr. Yasutake. It was founded at some point in 2020, and went
│down without a word some time around February this year (;´Д`)
│
│Here's the original URL for posterity, and an archive to demonstrate
│what it was like:

├■Don't read that drivel, all you need to know is nobody here knew shit about this stuff until sonzaishinai world was advertised on 4-ch and then once the admin forgot about it this shit clone popped up created by a Russian guy who tries to put his name on just about every nostalgia driven "reboot" imageboard/textboard in existence.

││The original ayashii world didn't use software like this, by the way.

││
│├■The earliest forms of Ayashii World (before they decentralized in 1998)
│││were only "not like this" in the same way that futallaby is "not like
│││vichan" - and by that I mean they are functionally the same thing once
│││you look past a few superficial QoL features and additional bells &
│││whistles
│││
│││Ayashii World boards were still going strong for years after becoming
│││decentralized, and the original KuzuhaScript was already considered to
│││be the "de facto standard" Ayashii World script as far back as 1999
│││
│││It's the prevailing users of Ayashii World boards today who continue to
│││develop, maintain, and use the version of KuzuhaScript we're using
│││right now, and the post-millennium additions are so minimal that
│││it's silly to act like this is somehow something completely different
│││
│││If you removed tree view and the embedded youtube player you'd already
│││be back to Ayashii World circa 1998, and if you removed the reply and
│││name search functions you'd be back to 1997 (;´Д`)

││ └■Click the star symbol on any post that has the name field filled in, and it
││ will display every post made under that name
││
││ Also, it's not very obvious, but you don't need to quote an entire
││ post or thread in order for your reply to be linked. Like most other
││ forms of post-based communication, you can just quote the relevant
││ sections to provide context, or remove the quote entirely, and it will
││ still be linked to the post you're replying to correctly
