I have decided to start a new thread about this.
Please refer to http://wakaba.c3.cx/soc/kareha.pl/1098713558/10- for now.
As soon as I have found a place to upload the most recent version, I will post the URL here.
So far the changes from 0.2 I made:
Good news, everyone! Futaba Channel English Navigator 0.50 has gone live!
http://www.bluethree.us/futaba/
Tons of updates this time around, mostly involving the removal of dead boards. Also, it's all in UTF-8 now. Thanks to everybody who has contributed to this project in the past, present and future.
And now, two quick responses to above posts:

Sadly, you're wrong:

It's a violation. But if you run Adblock Plus on Firefox, you'll never see the hosting ads.
>>70
If it's free and there are no hosting ads, I'm interested.
>>74
hiding the ads with css does not remove them, it just makes them harder to see. they don't say you can't do that.
>>76
That's the same sort of stupid, contrived, and blatantly false non-argument as "if you delete the files in 24 hours it's not piracy".
I'm in the process of getting everything switched to the new server, it may be down for a few hours, depending on the propagation rate of your ISP.
All the files have been uploaded to the new server. I'd like to thank >>70 for the domain space. I'm on my laptop right now, and it had an older copy of the site on the hard drive, so the Navigator will be a little out of whack until I get back home to the tower and re-upload the latest files (that will be later tonight).
The restoration of data is complete, and as a bonus, I've done more updates, including removing more dead boards and adding a brief introduction to Futaba and its many boards. Version 0.51, only two days after 0.50!
＼(＾o＾)／ Success! Sort of.
$ host bluethree.us
bluethree.us has address 68.178.232.100
$ host www.bluethree.us
www.bluethree.us has address 64.22.96.24Maybe my dns servers just being silly?
oh, and: http://cgi.2chan.net/b/futaba.htm
I was fiddling around in godaddy earlier this evening, trying to fix that. I had already changed the www and ftp hosts to 64.22.96.24, leaving "@"at 68.178.232.100 (godaddy's webhosting IP). I've now changed "@"to 64.22.96.24, meaning IN THEORY that after all the dns servers propogate, all attempts to hit bluethree.us go to 64.22.96.24. Maybe.
I forgot to say thanks for the link to the SIXTH known Nijiura board! I'll be adding that shortly.
Version 0.52 is up. Added new board "Josou", and added link for resurrected board "Yaoi".
Version 0.53: NEW PAGES: Bicycles, Nijiura ID, Narikiri, Politics, Economics, Korean Economics. Dead pages purged. More accurate translations of board names.
Oh wow, a bicycle board?
I can't remember a time I've looked at Futaba /b/ where I haven't seen a bicycle thread somewhere... it's high time they got a board for it!
(Not that I minded them at all, it merely seemed like something that's long overdue.)
Korean Economics?
WTF?
0.54: NEW AND/OR RETURNING BOARDS: Mahjong, Trouble Consultation, Net Characters, Military and Military - Flipside, and Touhou. Dead text boards: Lounge, Anime. And now there are only two text boards left: ASCII Art and Shopping. The textboards are just spam traps anyway, and 2ch is far more popular for posting text anyway.

What's with the "del" links and that akuhist.txt file? Are they outsourcing board moderation to the general public?
