　■Can u pls post the script (;´Д`)

　　│This page has more details on the various Amezou-type BBS scripts 
　　│"available" (at least as they stood in 2006/2007 - things haven't 
　　│changed much since then from what I've seen), comparing their features 
　　│and even stating the pros and cons of Amezou scripts compared to 2ch-
　　│type BBSes:

　　│
　　│By "available" I mean "you have to dig through many archives and 
　　│ancient sites to individually obtain all the files required, and some-
　　│times it seems like they're not even possible to obtain (which is what 
　　│I ran into with AmeBBS's own script)" (;´Д`)
　　│
　　│Anyway, as much as I've tried, I've yet to get a single Amezou-type 
　　│script to work (;´Д`)
　　│
　　│So far I've tried:
　　│- Support script (by far the simplest, but also the oldest)
　　│- Donut Shoppe script (way more features than Support script, even has 
　　│  automated board creation)
　　│- Mikawa script (supposedly the most advanced and feature-complete of 
　　│  all, however they have long since ditched this Perl script for a 
　　│  closed-source PHP version. I blame kuz for this (;´Д`))
　　│
　　│The thing about all of these scripts is that they were never really 
　　│packaged up for distribution - you just download the live versions "as 
　　│is". This means that all the settings and paths/addresses throughout 
　　│the scripts are specific to the site you obtained them from, and some 
　　│of those paths/addresses are liek, embedded in regex and stuff, which 
　　│I'm too dumb to deal with (;´Д`)
　　│
　　│One error I keep running into is something related to referral, like 
　　│it's checking where you're posting from with something, and deciding 
　　│"you fail it!". None of the things I've tried so far to get around this 
　　│seem to work (;´Д`)
　　│
　　│Another issue regarding the scripts which have automated board creation 
　　│is that they just plain didn't want to create a board, and I don't know 
　　│enough about how Amezou-type boards are supposed to be structured to do 
　　│it manually. As far as I can tell all my permissions are correct, but 
　　│it just doesn't want to play ball (;´Д`)
　　│
　　│I've been unable to determine if these problems are caused by something 
　　│that's configured wrong in the script, some kind of incompatibility 
　　│with my server setup, just ancient/poorly-written kusocode, or if I'm 
　　│just plain doing it wrong (;´Д`)
　　│
　　│(;´Д`)(;´Д`)(;´Д`)(;´Д`)(;´Д`)(;´Д`)(;´Д`)(;´Д`)(;´Д`)
　　│
　　└■One way to potentially deal with refferal issues is to set the name of the site you downloaded it from to your local address.
　　　│so liek 127.0.0.1 amezo.com
　　　│then go to amezo .com, boom, its now your site (;´Д`)
　　　│
　　　└■On linux you can do this in /etc/hosts, in windows its 
　　　　　C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts ヽ(´∇`)ノ
