Who is real Vista-Tan?

[::RenRen::]

Maybe they are!

[Darknight_88]

By the way, Darknight, the Mahou Shoujo Vis-tan  is an original creation of Nijiura (http://ostan.matrix.jp/os/vista/src.php). I even love their Vista Home-tan!

I've personally always prefer Nijiura's side of things! They have good sense of design and fashion. They are also accurate when it comes to the OS-tans.

Yep, I know. I have never seen Nijiura designing a new OS-tan, but looking at this design, all I have to say is that I agree with you, they have a great sense of design and fashion.

Unfortunately, according to Anonymous, the most influential board seems to be 2chan's img. But I hope this is not the case.

Mahou Shoujo Vis-tan, now in Business (or Enterprise?) edition!

Hey 95 kun is the shit, hes that light hearted drunkard samurai... and even he is scared of his sister

3.1kun... he wears a uniform.  Maybe that means i got a chance with 3.1sama!

2k Is cool too, reliable, dependable, and still a pervert!  

its just... xp... *shutter*

Anyhow exept for one, i have no problem with kuns. A for vista, the ninja is my favorite so far.

The Vis-tan Bussiness/Enterprise clothing seems to be little bit similar to 2k-tan's long suit,  also similar to Juzo-kun's Debian-tan's outfit.

Of course 2ch is a really huge influence of 4chan (along with its subsites), and 4chan will always follows the footsteps of influence...and for that, 4chan will be always famous for being well known international imageboard.

Although Nijiura maybe not as popular as 2ch (even in Japan), it is a great alternative as an imageboard community. It offers nicer and decent kinds of things and the most impressive about them is that they freely accept artworks outside their country. No wonder Juzo-kun's artworks were included in their gallery because he is also a poster there.

I am even suprised that they accept something like BeOS-tan in which other imageboards, obviously...can be deleted or flamed.

Look, people, "Nijiura" IS img! Futaba started out with a single Nijiura board on the img server, and later added more of them, so now they are usually referred to as "img", "dat", "may", "nov" and "jun", but "Nijiura" is the collective name.

Now, nijiura.com is a SPINOFF, using the same name. It's a fairly small board, but visited by some influential artists. It is definitely not any kind of center of creativity, though. That would be the img Nijiura.

I'm assuming that you are replying to what I've said before, but what is really your point Mr. Anonymous? You gave us a little bit info about a certain history of Nijiura, but all I said was that I personally prefer Nijiura's design.

And I also wanted to inform you too that most of the artist here are shaping their own -tans ' design and personality instead of having influences by the "img" in Futaba. Yet, we still give recognition to Futaba as the one who gave the original concept of OS-tans.

[AnonymousSage]

My point is explaining what "Nijiura" really is, as nobody seems to know, even though they created the OS-tans.

Nijiura (èâ,,¢Â¹Ã¨Â£Â) is:
http://img.2chan.net/b/ (The OS-tans were created on this specific board)
http://dat.2chan.net/b/
http://may.2chan.net/b/
http://nov.2chan.net/b/
http://jun.2chan.net/b/

Nijiura.com is "＋にじゅら＋", and is a small spin-off. Referring to them as simply "Nijiura" is confusing and kind of insulting to the original creators.

Added after 5 minutes:

I should also add for you personally that "2ch" has nothing at all to do with the OS-tans in any fashion. "2ch" is "2channel", located at http://www.2ch.net/. They are the biggest discussion forum on the internet, and they influence most everything that happens on the Japanese internet, but they are NOT related to Futaba except for the fact that Futaba picked a similar domain name when they started off.

[Darknight_88]

Well then, thanks Anonymous

It's true almost nobody knows what Nijiura really is (When someone says nijiura, everyone thinks of Nijiura.net), nor here nor in Wakachan, though everyone recognizes that 2chan (.img, nijiura, futaba) is the one who created them.

...
Yeah, 2ch would be the equivalent to the 4-ch discussion boards at 4chan, as 2chan is the equivalent of 4chan.

Ah .....well I really knew the difference from the start because that info was also stated in the Imageboard article in Wikipedia long ago in which once I read the confusion of the so-called "nijiura" section in Futaba and the "++"  and also 2ch over 2channel. But yes, I admit I made a mistake using 2ch(2channel) over 2 chan,  but of course obviously I meant 2chan instead of 2channel, so as I mistakenly use "nijiura" as "+Nijiura+" in which it should be "+Nijiura+", not "nijiura"

I still made a mistake due to little bit confusion, even though I knew their differences all along. I'm not perfect though. But still I thank you for that reminder of yours Mr. anonymous.

(By the way, I never saw you introduced yourself Mr. Anonymous, welcome to the boards!)

[AnonymousSage]

Saying "2chan" at all is risky. Any Japanese person would assume you mean 2channel if you say "2chan". Stick to "Futaba" to lessen confusion.

And I don't introduce myself, because it doesn't matter who I am. And I really think you should be enabling anonymous posting here, because it really is kind of a disgrace to have an community that is supposed to be about OS-tans registration-only, when those same OS-tans were originally created on a board that values anonymity to the point that most art is unsigned and contributed anonymously. I really don't have much interest in being part of any clique-filled and ego-driven forum either, so I won't be staying long.

Sure sir! I'll keep that in mind...

Well I don't wanna be the one who speaks in behalf of this site. After all i am not the owner, I'm not even a staff member. So I don't control things here.

Enabling anonymous posting? which allows trolling and flaming? That could happen, who knows? But personally my opinion regarding to what you said is that
in my personal experience around the net. I really prefer on staying on forums than imageboards. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against other imageboards and sometimes I also post  and discuss with them too. It's just personally I prefer a forum over an imageboard in obvious reasons.

I really don't have much interest in being part of any clique-filled and ego-driven forum either, so I won't be staying long.

Well...nobody is stopping you Mr. Anonymous! And I think maybe I don't wanna continue discussing you with this anymore. Of course you are entitled to your own opinion but you calling this community as "clique-filled" and "ego-driven" would not really do or help anything...

thanks for stopping by... ;020

Well, call it "social forum" instead of "clique-filled and ego-driven forum" and you are closer to the point.

I was trying to make the point here that the OS-tans were created in the absolutely wildest and most uncontrolled kind of anonymous environment. And they certainly are far more interesting than anything I've ever seen created by this kind of safe and restricted forum.

If you really were interested in them, you would not lock yourself up in here, you would be out there following the real action. Nijiura has created far more than the OS-tans, and much of it is very exciting and amusing.

[Kami-Tux]

I am not interested in the loads of unrelated characters, which are posted there. Sorry, but habanero-tans... cigarette-tans...

[NejinOniwa]

I definitely agree with Tux-sama.
Also, the complete chaos which rules boards like that are too much to handle in some kind of controlled manner unless you're hooked up 24/7, which is not only stupid and way-off-the-scale of unnecessary nerdiness, but also TOTALLY NOT SEXY.
