■what are the original domains for the original ayashii world websites? are there any archive.org appearances?
│
└■It's not quite what you asked for, but I found this contemporary report
│on Ayashii World's "death" that contains the URL for it's "final
│resting place" (this article's still live, since 1998/9/5!):
│http://ninjin.net/radica/HTML/980905.html
│
│Unfortunately the only things archived on that URL are some blog-like
│posts regarding Underground culture that went up after Ayashii World
│had already shut down, with only traces of URLs for other parts of the
│site:
│https://web.archive.org/web/sitemap/http://webdesign.server.ne.jp/strangeworld/
│
│It also links to an early post-Shiba refuge board, but the only
│archives available were made a year after the shutdown:
│https://web.archive.org/web/19991012210320/http://abunai.hypermart.net/cgi-bin/minibbs.cgi
│
│Regarding what you actually asked for - I don't have anything yet
│(well, I might do - read on!), but man it's gonna be tough. Just look
│at how many different providers and variants they burned through!:
│https://geolog.mydns.jp/www.geocities.co.jp/Milkyway-Vega/4597/
│(see: しば時代 初期 (Early Shiba era) through to
│退避電機時代 (Evacuation denki era))
│
│HOWEVER - I also found this surviving Tripod site, and despite the
│fact it appears to have been hacked at some point in 2003, it seems to
│still contain some of its original content - namely, parody
│posts/poems/songs regarding Shiba and Ayashii World. There's a few
│different pages here, but one in particular caught my attention:
│https://yunasoft.tripod.com/faq/kaeuta.html
│
│It appears to be a manually archived reply page from a Shiba-era
│Ayashii World! All the URLs seem to be what would have been valid links
│to "http://free.prohosting.com/~_strange/cgi-bin/bbs.cgi", and the
│dates shown line up with the timeline linked above
│(see: 98年 2月21日 @プロホス誕生 (1998/02/21 birth of @Prohost))
│
│It also uses a light teal color scheme (background = #007f7f), which
│KuzuhaScriptPHP refers to in it's config comments as being the
│"classic" color scheme, rather than the dark teal "REBIRTH" color
│scheme that most people are more familiar with (background = #004040)
│
│That's right - Ayashii World didn't have what we would deem its iconic
│dark teal color scheme until January 1999, months after Shiba had quit!
│
│Here's some more pages from that site, which also seems to house posts
│archived from prohosting era Ayashii World, but the pages themselves
│appear more hand-crafted than the one linked above:
│https://yunasoft.tripod.com/faq/kaeuta2.html
│https://yunasoft.tripod.com/faq/kaeuta3.html
│https://yunasoft.tripod.com/faq/kaeuta4.html
│https://yunasoft.tripod.com/faq/kaeuta5.html
│https://yunasoft.tripod.com/faq/ccsakura.html
│(I like the "↑UZEEバナー↑" (UZEE banner) beneath the banner on that
│last one)
