My advice for j00t00bz is to only watch videos by older, more experienced people, and legitimate super nerds ( ´ω`)

Anyone young, dumb, or oozing with faux-charisma and nu-web-isms is OUTTO! Especially if it's about sum made-up nu-sociology/nu-psychology mumbo jumbo! No thx! ヽ(´∇`)ノ

Algorithms/soxial media's egostroking tricks spoiled the game. Back when it was just you and your website, the only metric of engagement was pageviews, and maybe constrictive criticisms via teh guestbook or whatever. Nowadays, with likes and 'appealing to the algorithm', people are doing all of this 'how do I get famous?' arithmetic in their heads, which leads them to be shallow and disingenuous.(´ー`)

It always makes me LOL and/or facepalm when I hear n00bs going on about their "ZOMG Internet Numbers™!!!1" like it's some important milestone, and a celebratory occasion when ROUND NUMBER is achieved

"guys I reached x amount of followers/subscribers/retards-on-the-internet-who-clicked-a-button, i'm so happy"
"OMG WOW congratulations, very well done, u deserve more!"

...it's just a freaking number on the Internet, WTF o_O

>>2489
woah we're really close to post 2500 (・∀・)

Thank you for that
>but it seems like clicking on the banners to make them change doesn't work anymore
Yes, I will try to work on maeking it so it changes as it used to soon. Maybe ChatGPT-san may be helpful now...
I will also open a ２ちゃん board very soon for banners, it has been on my mind for a long time, but the only reason I didn't do yet is that I tried making a modified /banner/... Which didn't work out. I could have the ordinary /banner/ back as well, but I liek the ２ちゃん idea better

btw here is the Gmod 9 one

Just as beautiful as when I lost it...

I'll be sure to make more banners once you figure that thing out

I requested Moetan in 2020 and you guys still haven't watched it...

It's been in decline since around 2010, but the decline has steepened significantly in the last couple of years. These days the general impression is that it's a depopulated "has-been" website with poor moderation and an aging userbase (many of whom are in their 40s-50s), as well as the perception that most remaining users are mentally ill and the site being filled with garbage, and that younger people are generally using Twitter and Instagram instead (in addition to YouTube and TikTok)

5ch only gets around twice as many posts per day than 4chan now (a site which is also down from what it used to be, especially if you take /pol/ out of the equation), whereas it used to be significantly higher

>>2459
thats super sad (;´Д`)

There's tons of Japanese link collection sites out there, but the majority of them are exclusively for pr0nz and/or haven't been updated within the last 10 or 20 years... (;´Д`)

However, with the help of archive.org you can discover some great stuff from bygone internet eras. Anyway here's a few random Japanese link collections:

- http://www.iryoku.net/ (a Yahoo-themed link site containing mostly popular/mainstream sites, also has 18+ edition: http://www.iryoku2.net/ )
- http://www.1rk.net/ (link site for various imageboards & uploaders circa early-to-mid 2000s - most sites listed here are either dead or have long-since changed URLs, but it's useful as a historical reference)
- https://www.kooss.com/ (links to sites containing free stuffz - mostly related to web services and website creation but also misc things)
- https://freesoft-100.com/ (similar to above but with less dead links from 10-15 years ago)

For teh pr0nz:

- https://kanekogazou.x.fc2.com/main.html (tons of ero sites and imageboards, but beware of party van)
- https://www.toukougazou.net/main.html (similar to above)
There's over 9000 other sites like these, but they all contain pretty much the same links as the above, so I won't bother listing them

Here's some link collections from the 90s/early 2000s:

- http://www.dio.ne.jp/user/bestsites/fun.html (fun/interesting links from the 90s and early 2000s - an impressive number of these are still online)
- https://uilie1.tripod.com/favorite.html (a snapshot of the Japanese underground web circa 1999, links are mostly dead due to the nature of such sites - includes links to Ayashii World boards, Licentious Notice Board (LNB) sites, warez/crack sites, and more)
- https://geolog.mydns.jp/www.geocities.co.jp/Hollywood-Kouen/9705/ (various LNB-related links circa 98-99)
- https://web.archive.org/web/19990219101816/http://www.geocities.com:80/SiliconValley/Station/9698/NoticeBoard.html (same as above)
- https://members.tripod.com/~TAKU_2/index.html (a link site related to an early-2000s internet community named "obaka no kuni" (fool's country) centered around fun/retarded photoshop humor and "obaka sites". 99% of the links died years ago, but it's still fun to browse: https://members.tripod.com/~TAKU_2/Understanding.html , https://members.tripod.com/~TAKU_2/joke.html )

And if you're interested, here's an English-language link collection of active Japanese BBSes maintained by me: https://bbsdirectory.neocities.org/

Here's some other posts of mine that were in that thread (or similar threads - I don't remember ^^;)

Hay n00bz, check this out:
https://web.archive.org/web/19970410071120/http://www.infovlad.com/underground/asia/japan/

It's InfoVlad's HACK JAPONAISE page, mentioned in the "History of Ayashii World" document. I managed to find an archive ヽ(´ー｀)ノ

A lot of the links are archived too, which can lead you to find even more pages of underground links:

FUCK ヽ(`Д´)ノ

I guess that's why they moved to 県人会 (Kenjinkai) on December 23...

--------------

...that said, I did find an archive of one of "Marquis de Pedo / Pedo Kousyaku"'s rooms on Digital Eden - it's said that this guy's usage of free web services is what inspired Shiba to make Ayashii World the same way (I'm not sure if this is the exact one that Shiba saw - that one was supposedly called "日本ロリコングラフィックス" (TL: Japan Lolicon Graphics)):
https://web.archive.org/web/19961229114235/http://www.digitaleden.com/h10/a922.htm
(don't worry, there's no pedo stuff on the page)

Here's a couple more random examples of Digital Eden rooms that did get archived - I imagine the Ayashii World one probably looked identical to these:
https://web.archive.org/web/19961229113850/http://www.digitaleden.com:80/h10/a901.htm

https://web.archive.org/web/19961229114357/http://www.digitaleden.com/h10/a930.htm
(the last two even have some English posts... Navy-san talking shit about English dubs of "Japanimation" made me LOL. Some things never change)

[BONUS] The customization and room clearing pages on Digital Eden for room owners:

https://web.archive.org/web/19961229203134/http://www.digitaleden.com/h10/a922e.htm

BTW, I originally found the Marquis de Pedo link by seeing an archived post of him advertising it on the japan.fetish.lolita newsgroup circa January 4, 1997... archived on Google groups (;ﾟДﾟ)
https://groups.google.com/g/japan.fetish.lolita/c/D6UlcTAG_9I

The japan.* hierarchy was apparently conceived on Ayashii World by an early Ayashii user named Asada Takuya (RIP ;-;), an important figure on the early Japanese web. He made it because fj.* (fj = From Japan) didn't have enough ABSOLUTE FREEDOM (真に自由). The japan.fetish.lolita newsgroup was made by another early Ayashii World user named Tanai, who also helped popularize the MP3 format with his YunaSoft MP3 Encoder. Strange World? More liek small world!

------------

Here's a collection of vintage Japanese "fukinshin games" (不謹慎ゲーム; unscrupulous games; games that poke fun at real world incidents, disasters, tragedies, etc):
http://www.hehehe.net/game/

One of the games here is Kasumigaseki: The Subway Sarin Game (霞ヶ関・地下鉄サリンゲーム). It's from 1995, and is a simulation game based on the real life Tokyo subway sarin attack carried out by the Aum Shinrikyo cult earlier that year

While the game itself is probably nothing special, it's notable because it's the game that supposedly inspired Shiba to make his first Ayashii World "Home Party" (Home Party was a paid service on NIFTY-Serve (the Japanese version of CompuServe) that let people make their own primitive, semi-anonymous BBSes)

You could reasonably argue that Heyuri might never have existed if it wasn't for this game... (;ﾟДﾟ)

It's a Windows 3.1 game because "lol 1995", so here's a video of it in action:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXDZQ5gMEZk

Might as well keep going... here's one of my posts about Japanese script sites. It didn't make this post, but there's also https://web.archive.org/web/20130921075846/http://tackysroom.com/page_cgi.htm which has sum kewl stuff (Heyuri dorama script-writing board wen???)

---

Here's some moar examples of old Japanese script sites - there's tons more out there, but these are some of the more historically notable ones:

CGI Rescue [1995-present, but only a handful of minor fixes to the various scripts since the 2000s]
https://www.rescue.ne.jp/
Very influentual script site, especially for Japanese BBSes. Back in the late 90s, Rescue's MiniBBS was the de facto free Japanese BBS script, with many of the scripts featured below either being modified versions of MiniBBS, or starting out as some kind of clone/rewrite of MiniBBS

FUN FACT: Believe it or not, there's actually an archive of Rescue's site circa 1996:
https://web.archive.org/web/19961221014325/http://www.ask.or.jp/~rescue/
https://web.archive.org/web/19961221173346/http://www.ask.or.jp/~rescue/cgitips/
There was also a shortlived English version of the site in 1998:
https://web.archive.org/web/19981206160533/http://www.ask.ne.jp/%7Erescue/e/

Yui [1996-2000]
https://web.archive.org/web/19970522211326/http://www.a-web.co.jp/~yui/
https://web.archive.org/web/19981202221856/http://www.cup.com/yui/
https://web.archive.org/web/20030212083424/http://www.ibport.ne.jp:80/~yui/cgiwork/index.html
Various former sites containing Yui's CGI scripts. Somewhat popular in the 90s, some of these scripts were surprisingly influential. ZurubonUploader for example was a modified version of YuiNote, which makes YuiNote liek the great grandmother of 2ch.cx o_0

KENT-WEB [1997-present]
https://www.kent-web.com/
Loads of classic and current Japanese BBSes and rental BBS sites use (or are based on) these scripts, particularly YY-BOARD and JoyfulNote. They're still receiving regular updates, but that also means some of them no longer have the classic 90s/early 2000s appearance they once had (instead they have more of an "early 2010s mobile UI" look, which may or may not be appealing depending on your tastes)

FUN FACT: world2ch used a modified version of YY-BOARD for their 2ch-style boards

TryTheHomepage [1997-2004]
http://www.tryhp.net/downloadlist.htm
http://www.tryhp.net/oldscript.htm
Home of resBBS and many other old scripts. resBBS was the original "thread-float" BBS script which Amezou adopted in late 1998, just a couple of days before Shiba's Ayashii World closed and their users came pouring into Amezou. Despite it's barebones nature, resBBS would serve as the evolutionary stepping stone between the simple MiniBBS-style BBS and the more advanced Amezou/2ch-style BBS

T-Club [1998-2016]
http://www.big.or.jp/~talk/t-club/soft/
Home of the "imgboard" script, the first "true" imageboard script as we know them today*. Initially released at the start of 1998, imgboard was the inspiration for nearly all those who came after (whether they knew it or not!)

*There were many earlier MiniBBS-based "imageboards" which displayed images via hotlinking to other websites, but imgboard allowed users to upload image files directly to the server. On those older "imageboards", people would upload their images to free web hosting services like Tripod, paste the URL to the image into the relevant field of the BBS's post form, and then the script would embed the image into the post without actually hosting it

FUN FACT 1: Futaba initially used imgboard for their very first imageboard before switching to gazouBBS
FUN FACT 2: This site is also home to the oldest known English-language imageboard, with the oldest post being from 1998/08/10:
https://web.archive.org/web/20020617042129/http://www.big.or.jp:80/~talk/t-club/soft/mini/imgboard_e.cgi
The board is also somehow still alive, although today it's just filled with spam and the "next page" button appears to be broken:
http://www.big.or.jp/~talk/t-club/soft/mini/imgboard_e.cgi

LetsPHP [2000-2019, but most of the scripts haven't been updated for a decade or more]
http://php.loglog.jp/ (formerly http://php.s3.to/ )
LetsPHP's site and home of "gazouBBS". Nothing really needs to be said about gazouBBS - you're browsing a derivative of it right now!
Less historically significant but still neat:

http://www.coolandcool.net/pcg/index.html
Other script sites are cool, but this one is cool AND cool

http://www.candy-cgi.com/
Fucking KAWAII yo!

https://www.nishishi.com/cgi/
The "tegalog" script here is kinda neat - it's a highly-configurable "memo logger" script that can be used as a bulletin board, diary, microblogger, and moar. The guy who made it has said he doesn't want it to be used as a typical anonymous BBS, but you can set it up to have a password-less guest account that anyone can use, so...

C-BOARD Moyuku

MOAR? OK! ヽ(´∇`)ノ

This post was about historical resources for Japanese BBS history, including Ayashii World & Amezou

---

One of the main resources that most subsequent documents about early Japanese BBS history are based on (including most of the English-langauge ones) is this document compiled by bxjp. Be warned that it contains his personal opinions and biases towards certain sites, and doesn't cover every single site that ever existed back then, so be careful before treating it as gospel:
https://web.archive.org/web/20030801113739/http://blogdex.tripod.co.jp/encyclopedia/

There's also this book 教科書には載らないニッポンのインターネットの歴史教科書 (The Textbook of Japanese Internet History That Doesn't Appear in Textbooks), which was published in 2005 and contains a cleaned-up version of the same timeline plus some extra interviews, articles, etc:
http://www.jarchive.org/book/encyclopedia/

---

For Ayashii World specifically, you can find an in-depth timeline of events and other bits and pieces regarding Ayashii World here:
http://strangewalker.nobody.jp/logwalk.html
and here:
http://f16.aaacafe.ne.jp/~stwalker/
(each one has slightly different stuff, but the actual timeline portion is the same on both I think)

In addition to those, there's this document which lists many of the various servers Ayashii World moved to during 1996-1999:
https://web.archive.org/web/20010605010005/http://members.tripod.co.jp/~swattylink/history.htm

There's also this resource, which contains a large collection of interesting and notable Ayashii World posts and stories throughout the years (mainly 1999-2003, post-Shiba). It's worth noting that this isn't the original location of the site - it's passed through many different hands and servers since it first began in 1999:
http://strangewalker.web.fc2.com/

There also used to be sites containing many complete logs for various Ayashii World sites (like this one: https://web.archive.org/web/20060206053522/http://strangedb.ath.cx:80/ ), but I don't know if any such sites still exist. Seems like Wayback Machine may not have archived the actual files on the site, but a few of the logs mentioned there can be found in the "倉庫" section of this site:
https://museum.scenecritique.com/
(there's also an overwhelming amount of other old Ayashii World and BBS-related stuff on this site if you dig around)

---

Regarding Amezou, there's a site dedicated to Amezou history here, with a nice timeline of events:
https://web.archive.org/web/20210425094759/http://history.amebbs.com/ (I think it's still live, but it always fails to load for me for some reason)

One neat thing about that site is that it contains a few manually captured archives of Amezou that are otherwise lost to time - like this one from when they'd just switched to Terra's resBBS script (purported to be the first thread-float BBS script) and when Ayashii World residents had just begun migrating over after Shiba quit:
https://web.archive.org/web/20200125185706/http://history.amebbs.com/1998/199809061413_sokuho.htm

A better example of what it looked like around that time:
https://web.archive.org/web/20200126084402/http://history.amebbs.com/1999/1999_0111_2322news-ame.htm

A later thread in which Amezou users make fun of Hiroyuki's face - at this point the site had switched to using a modified version of MiniBBS v7.5 while adopting various concepts from resBBS, leading to what became the "Amezou-type bulletin board" (which 2ch, being an Amezou clone, adopted)
https://web.archive.org/web/20200125194044/http://history.amebbs.com/1999/1999_0728_0724main1-ame.htm

An even later thread, at which point Amezou appeared to have looked almost identical to 2ch
https://web.archive.org/web/20200125035825/http://history.amebbs.com/1999/1999_0907_1805main-ame.htm

Hope that's enough to keep you busy for a while!

thank you so much dude (´ー`)

The art in my 90s sonic teh hedgehog comics > any crappy comic today

That said, the art is the least of their problems today - good art won't fix all the lame and over-pretentious stories & characters!

>That said, the art is the least of their problems today - good art won't fix all the lame and over-pretentious stories & characters!

Right you are. I don't know why, but comics has always been obssessed with rehabilitating its image. Comics could never accept it's reputation as an outgrowth of pulp art-- since maybe the 1980s it's always tried to be something 'more'. "Comics aren't for kids anymore!!!" (How many times have I heard that phrase over the years (´ー`)).This desperation to justify itself has led to probably the most pretentious bullshit ever seen in any medium ever, and is probably behind the 'dull realism' movement in the art. Notice how they had to borrow from manga to give comics some semblance of life?

Yeah there's definitely a graphic element that was lost. They all look like TV screenshots now (´ー`)

711chan (.net) has an unofficial "rule 8", focuses on old imageboard culture too but says that "it won't be the dominating theme"

There's plenty of places that will delete Rule 8-like things on sight, but they usually have their own issues

Particularly with allowing/encouraging the kinds of late-2000s/early-2010s AIDS that came before all the mid-2010s AIDS, while also banning/discouraging things that were commonplace in the early-to-mid 2000s or earlier

o fuck i lost my reply

in short...
>>62004
I don't mean anything bad for them but with lolwut (owner of VidLii, criticized for being too much of a free speech advocate) as admin, I doubt they would stay that way for much longer. Teh only reason it seems fun right now is because it was shared on Heyuri. Same story for world2ch. And if you visit enough other BBSes, you can take a guess which site's userbase makes bad posts on those sites too

>>62005
>There's plenty of places that will delete Rule 8-like things on sight, but they usually have their own issues
Correct, R8 is not a simple matter of deleting s*yj*ks and pepe images.

>>62003
I just showed up here 20 minutes ago and rule 8 seems pretty great!

I wondered the same thing too, the answer is apparently at here: https://2ch.sh/src/2502.jpg
TLDR: They copy others' styles rather than creating their own

I tried copying anime myself at some point (OP of https://img.heyuri.net/o/potiboard.php?res=204 here), but I think I am just not made for drawing. Even drawing one proper line is too hard for me (;´Д`)

Look at almost any young Japanese child's drawings, and you'll see it usually already has that distinctive anime/manga style and quality to it, even if it doesn't have realistic anatomy, perspective, etc. - not a malformed attempt at forcing the style into existence while still using Western techniques and practices, but the real deal

When I was around 7-8 years old, we had a Japanese kid who'd moved to our country join our class, and he was lightyears ahead in terms of drawing ability to everyone else. Pokemon was the big thing at the time, and we'd all marvel at how his Pikachus and other Pokemon (including some we'd never seen before cuz gen 2 hadn't reached the West yet) looked virtually identical to the show

It's clear that the Japanese learn and adopt the style at a very young age by copying what they see around them - they see it on posters, in advertising, in books, in manga, on TV, in their friends' drawings, etc. It's also long been suggested that even the way the Japanese writing system is taught and practiced (and I believe it's fairly strict) plays a big part in how they form their lines, as well as how they copy

aisan jeans

on a slightly related note, am i the only one who finds it attractive when a girl can draw well?

>>1840
People of the opposite sex doing things well is always attractive ヽ(´ー｀)ノ

If you ask me, it's because the internet made finding obscure stuff way easier, and at this point, the mainstream is the worst it's ever been. There are more people pushing out to the edges. Even normie-minded people who usually wouldn't be there, but now can easily, thanks to the Net.(´ー`)

>the internet made finding obscure stuff way easier
