Member Introduction Thread

[Bella]

@captian: i panicked when you came back since i was afraid of you when i was young here.

then i remembered you weren't a mod anymore, and realized i had about double the posts you do. and i got over it. xDD

@tsubashi: i don't remember you posting when i got here. i remember, because i found your comic in the gallery and thought, "wow, i really wish i could talk to this person about their art. they're really good. :3"

Oh I think your misunderstanding who Tsu is,  those comics were made by someone else. They also made icons for alot of members back in the day, then c-chan kinda copied the style for some stuff.  Tsu was an admin here as I was a mod

You're thinking of InfinityZero.... I'm almost certain Kari is referring to Thurosis, since his username also starts with a T, and he's the only one at OSC who uploaded an ongoing comic series (besides me and Aurora).

><;;

that said, i remember you being pretty intimidating back in the day. not to offend, but it was a huge relief when you took a break. let me come into my own around here without pressure.

that said, i'm a lot more comfy in my position around here than back then. if it weren't for the picbomb i had been preparing going out, i'd have the top position as gallery uploader. xD and i'm willing to bet the majority of my posts are outside the games forum. if you don't agree, i'm willing to revive the os-tan theory thread.

i might do that anyway, given that there's new people to talk with about it.

(really? tsubashi didn't make those? i thought they were in his/her personal gallery....)

@bella: yeah! i was thinking of him/her. thanks for that, i haven't seen those comics in 3 years, so i was a little hazy. ^^;

[JamesBurr]

Christ, I've been gone so long, I may need to reintroduce myself.  >.>

[Nichi]

Welcome! I think you'll find there are still some familiar faces around here, so make yourself at home ^_^

Not gonna lie, I don't recall you, but I remember your signature... I think...

Anyway, welcome back! : )

[Chocofreak13]

[DustiiWolf]

Hello. Im Dustii Wolf.

I like animes, mangas, and (of course) OS-Tans.

Im a avid fan of Windows 8 (Ive used Developer, Consumer, AND release preview)

I like my computer, and am extatic about windows 8 upgrade this october 26 (which i get for $15 since my ultraportable is new c:)

My most FAVORITE song, video, and os-tan related item.c:

[Chocofreak13]

heh, thanks for reminding me. that one's not on the playlist yet. though i listened to the song on the way home yesterday. -w-

with that in mind, i wouldn't mention your devotion to the Win 8 OS much here. the only 8 love here is for the -tan. >>;;

what sort of anime and manga do you like? (those words are singular and plural, btw. don't mind me, i'm just a grammar nazi. i can't turn it off. ^^;;; )

looking forward to seeing you around the forum, dustii. don't limit yourself to one section, either. we love having new members around here. i'm kari, and you can call me either kari or choco. ^^

EDIT: oh yeah, dustii, do you have any instant messengers? the IM of choice here appears to be skype. :3

[Bella]

Welcome aboard Dustii~

I'm not a fan of Windows 8 personally, but i'll support you because I'm fond of other un(der)appriciated OSes, like Vista. (Annnnnd Multics and CTSS and OpenVMS, I'm quite the retrocomputer / niche-system fan).

[Nichi]

Welcome :3

I like your designs. They're quite nice :3

[DustiiWolf]

Hehe. guess im one of the few Windows 8 fans then.. ;w;"

@Kari - I like Lucky Star (Anime), Okami-san & her 7 companions (Anime), Megaman NT Warrior (Anime & Manga), Puella Magi Madoka Magica (Anime), Haruhi Suzumiya (The series, "Melancholy of"; Movie "Disappearance of"; Gag-Manga "The Melancholy of Suzumiya: Haruhi-chan"), Inuyasha (Anime).

@Bella - i actually read Vista was a great OS on higher end pc's and bootcamped macbooks. it just was a bit of a resource hog and didn't work well on your lower end "consumer" pc's. And that's cool you like older OSes.

@PentiumMX - thanks! ^^

[Bella]

Right you are, most of the Vista hate originated from MS shoehorning it onto hardware that couldn't handle it. When it's actually run on hardware with the right specs, it tends to work quite well. (Thanks, old computers are a pretty big passion of mine. )

You're a fan of Madoka Magica AND Haruhi? You're gonna fit in just fine.

[DustiiWolf]

Yep. *giggles* id buy ALL the Haruhi-chan manga in the nook store if i could afford it. i only own 4 of them.
and i can watch Madoka Magica for free using Crackle. c:

[Chocofreak13]

i was never a fan of vista, but that was likely due to the issue you just mentioned; microsoft shoving a square peg into a cheaper round hole. the 'family' computer in the basement still runs it, but it was a very early vista PC, and when i was using it i actually got used to it crashing. it was odd if it didn't crash before startup, actually. >>;

you know, it's been awhile since we've had a new member. i'm gonna properly introduce myself. -w-
