> huh nice. What is this based on? Any particular Ayashii UI? or it's speculating how it looked. - The script we're using (KuzuhaScriptPHP+) is maintained by a Japanese Ayashii user named "ヶ" ( https://hiru.coresv.com/ksphp-plus/ ) and was translated to English by one of Heyuri's users - ...which is a slightly tweaked and more secure version of an already modified version of KuzuhaScriptPHP (the modified version was released on 2005/04/01, and the original by しおん was released on 2003/02/18) http://qptn.x.fc2.com/up/dauso0073.zip http://qptn.x.fc2.com/up/dauso0059.zip https://web.archive.org/web/20030414134753/http://strange.egoism.jp/script/ - ...which was a popular PHP remake of the Perl-based KuzuhaScript, developed between 1999-2000/10/27 by an Ayashii board owner named Kuzuha http://www.freak.ne.jp/~lunatica/home/up/freak/dauso0001.lzh https://web.archive.org/web/20000511035533/http://www14.big.or.jp:80/~kuzuha/strangeworld/bbs.cgi https://web.archive.org/web/20000521070112/http://www14.big.or.jp:80/~kuzuha/script/script.cgi - ...which was based on Shiba's Ayashii World script prior him quitting on 1998/09/03 (Shiba being the original Ayashii World founder) http://honten.info/upload/cgi-bin/stored/up6385.zip - ...which was a modified version of rescue's MiniBBS script (namely, v7.5) which was created during 1996-1997, and adopted by Shiba on 1997/09/08 (prior to this, Shiba and everyone else was just using random free web BBS services in whatever form they took) Sidenote: during Ayashii World's heyday, there wasn't really a single "Ayashii World" - even while Shiba was still active, it took the form of many boards with varying cultures ran by different people using the same "Ayashii World" moniker. There was usually at least one that got the most traffic and was considered the "Main" board, but naturally that title was heavily contested at various points Side-sidenote: Despite Shiba quitting in September 1998 and a portion of Ayashii World users famously making the jump to Amezou, Ayashii World never actually died - it was still popular for several more years afterwards, and still exists today (albeit in a much smaller form). You might be surprised to learn that AyashiiWorld@Misao (whose lineage can be traced back to Shiba's final Main iteration of Ayashii World) still gets around 3500 posts per day! ヽ(´ー｀)ノ http://misao.mixh.jp/cgi-bin/bbs.cgi Reference: 2022/06/24(Fri) 11:41:50
