　■i once found a link somewhere in heyuri that lead to a page describing the
　│history of BBs and imageboards but i forgot where, can anyone tell me where i can find it?
　│
　└■There's a page on the wiki about that topic, if that's what you mean:
　　│https://wiki.heyuri.net/index.php?title=Imageboard
　　│Otherwise, I can only think of https://wiki.bibanon.org/History
　　│Maybe that one is the one you're thinking of? I hope this helps! (;^Д^)
　　│
　　└■that's not it (though im going to save the links anyway ヽ(´∇`)ノ)
　　　│the one i found was a page with black background and a huge text of the history
　　　│since the 90s, maybe even before then i cant remember and it had links to archives
　　　│and translation notes (since the history of BBs seems to be mainly japanese)
　　　│the one thing i remember reading there was that the person who invented one of the
　　　│first BBs wanted it to be "underground" so he "chose cp" to make it underground, whatever that means,
　　　│and he also got into trouble because someone announced their plans to kill people there
　　　│
　　　└■Sounds liek it could be this:
　　　　│https://randomcrapmuseum.neocities.org/exhibits/ayashii/fansite/history
　　　　│
　　　　│One day I will go back to working on it, I swear (;´Д`)
　　　　│
　　　　└■that's it! thank you!
　　　　　│you're the one who made it? (;ﾟДﾟ)
　　　　　│
　　　　　└■Yes! ...at least the site and the translation - the original Japanese 
　　　　　　│text was written long, long ago ヽ(´ー｀)ノ
　　　　　　│
　　　　　　│Sadly my translation is far from complete, although there's this 
　　　　　　│preexisting effort by someone else who got further with it (although
　　　　　　│there's a lot of "Engrish" which makes it hard to understand):

　　　　　　└■Thank you for making this. When I first came across this I showed it to my boyfriend and he didn't understand. He still doesn't.(;´Д`)
