I'm not sure if ur aware, but the board software we're using here is a
real Ayashii World software that can be traced back to the late 90s,
and has continued development into current times. It's not something
Heyuri made (besides translation and the kaomoji buttons), or some kind
of replica - it's teh real deal! ヽ(´ー`)ノ
Going back to 1996-1997, Ayashii World originally just used whatever
background color the free service they were using had. When they
switched to actually installing the board software themselves in Sept
1997, they mostly used #007f7f. This was in line with the general
aesthetics of Windows 95, Netscape, and many other things of the era
In May 1998, Shiba changed the background color to #004040, which was
initially controversial but quickly mass-adopted. This is what we're
using now, and what the majority of Ayashii World-type sites have used
since (although there are other branches with different colors -
Honten, Nazo, etc.). It's often described in Ayashii texts as being
like a blackboard ヽ(´ー`)ノ
