1998.7.12  "Hajimete no Ayashii World" is started. Later, it was moved to 
           @Famille, managed by Kuzuha.

1998.9.25  After hacking(?) another person's account, the precursor of Ayashii 
           World@Famille was born. The account was quickly lost and moved to a 
           new location the next day. The background of this is a big mystery. 

           At the same time, Hajimete no Ayashii World and O-sa-mu-～Arata☆ 
           were also born. By continuing to use the "Ayashii" moniker despite 
           pressure from Alice, the administrator, Kuzuha, would later go on 
           to rise to high popularity, but at this time it was just one of the 
           minor boards.

1998.12.7  Shiba requests BBSes to not operate under the name "Ayashii World".
 
           [insert big text about Alice possibly being behind it here]

           While most boards have no choice but to drop the "Ayashii" moniker, 
           only @Famille and @Nishigaoka continue to call themselves "Ayashii" 
           by resisting all forms of pressures such as trolling.

1999.2.6   Hajimete no Ayashii World@Famille, managed by Kuzuha, is relocated 
           and restarted. The next day, Ayashii World@Famille, which later 
           becomes the Main BBS, is quietly born.

1999.4.9   The residents of Ayashii World REBIRTH, who were vehemently opposed 
           to the arbitrary changes of the scripts and background colors that 
           ignored the wishes of the residents, as well as the fundamentalist 
           moderation method of "please don't write about anything except 
           Ayashii things please", moved to Ayashii World@Famille, which is 
           managed by Kuzuha.

           The unconfirmed rumors that the registrant of the account was a 
           woman, the neutral name "Kuzuha", and the soft image of their 
           posts' contents, etc. caused a strange phenomenon in which people 
           began to moe-ify the administrator. It was around this time that 
           the protoype of the so-called "moehodai" occurred, where a torrent 
           of "moe～" would be posted during the final minute of Telehodai.

           [TL Note: Telehodai was a service that allowed telephone and dial-
           up internet users to pay a flat-rate for their usage during 11pm to 
           8am, making it much cheaper than using the internet during peak 
           times. This caused a lot of net users to become night owls, as they 
           would limit themselves to using the internet during "Telehodai" to 
           save money]

           The fact that anyone could casually participate in the event in the 
           heat of the moment led to an increase in the number of single-line 
           posts with no substance, and it could be said that the unique under-
           ground stench of Ayashii faded away and the threshold for participa-
           tion was lowered.

           [TL Note: "underground" meaning the techno-centric hacking/cracking/
           etc. culture]

1999.6.20  Due to the influx of trolls and mass direct-links to "warezer" and 
           other frequently occurring problems that threatened the existence 
           of the BBS, the URL was changed and the site pretended to close 
           down, but a radical solution was not found, so eventually Kuzuha 
           was forced to abandon the administration of the board. Ayashii 
           World@Famille was forced to shut down.

           [TL Note: in a different section down the page it goes into more 
           specifics, saying that the trolls were coming in from Cult Bookmark 
           ( https://cult.to/cult/ ), and @Famille moved from ～/bbs.cgi to 
           ～/1/bbs.cgi to disguise itself as 404]

           However, "KuzuhaScript", which is highly regarded as the pinnacle 
           of the stacking-type BBS, has continued to improve since then, and 
           it continues to be improved and is still in use today. It remains 
           the de facto standard for "Ayashii-type" bulletin board scripts.
           Incidentally, the average log size at this time was somewhere less 
           than 2 MB, but this could be said to be the greatest period of 
           cultural blossoming.

And that's the story of how KuzuhaScript came to be ヽ(´ー｀)ノ
(although KuzuhaScriptPHP - the PHP port - was created almost from scratch by 
Sion in 2003. That's what the script we're using derives from)

There's a lot of archived posts about Kuzuha here, but I'm not translating all 
of that!:
