Asking, cause there's soooo many new things that happened throughout 2020 and 2021, like Windows 11, new game consoles being released, more games again, etc... It's also really sad to know that this forum is dead, so I'm trying to revive it right here.
I am still here.
(ps; i've only been in the os-tan community for 1 year)
Being alive is overrated tbh.

Wow, been a loooooong time since I've last been on here. Glad to see the old place is still around. Like stepping into a time capsule of my youth looking at some old posts lol.
Hope everyone has been well, life is treating me pretty well.

Hello, just stumbled on this post and I've been lurking here. I feel sad that there is no official Win11-tan as of now

OS-tan stuff are just generally unofficial anyway, we just need to hope for a high-quality version of her instead

i was wondering if creating a discord might be a good idea although im not too sure if its a good idea
could possibly help bring more traffic to the site

Maybe it would be a really good idea of we did that so at least we could get as many people into the discord as possible, then get as many people to sign up to the site as possible, then we bring this site back to life... ;)
I'm so sad that this site barley has anyone activity on it this really makes me so upset... >:( We need to think of a way to somewhat popularize this site again and I will keep trying to get to site back up and running with more activity from more active users we need this site to be powerful again...
Why the passion if I may ask?
I will not be making a Discord server for OSC but ya'll are free to make your own.
A Discord would largely take away from site traffic if anything. As most people would prefer it over a forum.

that's what I thought. it would simply make the sit even more dead and eventually the discord would take its place.
the closest someone could probably do is make their own OS-tan discord server. I could try, but I'm very bad at managing discord servers so I probably wont.
The days of forums are long over. Bringing back the wiki could be possible but I don't think the forum would ever regain its peak popularity. Like Goujer said Discord would only make the OSC forum even more dead than it is already.
We could make an os tan discord that isn't related to OSC though as i said in the other thread.

this site is still a lovely memory, and i like that it's still around for the legacy aspect, but a lot of us scattered to the wind for various reasons. i joined up something like, 15 years ago. i still care, but i have other things that require some of my attention now.
we're still here, though, so that's a thing. even if there's only a few of us. that's how it's always been, anyway.

How do you setup image banners?
I'd personally prefer a Guilded server to a Discord one, but similarly, I'm not great at server manglement.
Quote from: Goujer on June 10, 2022, 06:50:59 AMWhy the passion if I may ask?
Because OS-tans are cool and so are fora.
Quote from: LucasW4R on July 31, 2022, 05:53:19 PMHow do you setup image banners?
click your username at the top of the page, and in the drop down menu, go to "Profile Settings". underneath the space for your avatar, there should be a bit for signatures. use
[img], then the link to your image (don't host it here, iirc it's a headache to try and link from images you upload to forums like this. i use imgur, but plenty of image hosting sites exist that don't require money), then
[/img]. you can preview your sig before you save it. images that are too large will be shrunk, so keep that in mind.
i don't think there's any sort of posting cap on it (like, you need ____ posts to do that), so that should work. (sorry the formatting is weird on this, i was trying to get the CSS code to show.)
Why the post not so often or not at all we need to make post more often
I'm not that sure if it'd be easy to get more people to post here regardless. This place is dead as a doornail :(

Are you unable to post links? Do I need to fix something?
Quote from: Goujer on September 29, 2022, 10:44:48 AMAre you unable to post links? Do I need to fix something?
No. I've been told by the owner not to publish links here, but to at least inform users of alternatives.
I don't think some of the former members that used to be here will return. In reality, it's a fleeting fad.
I also don't think the individual they are referring to will return with a forum account.
Why this forum post hasn't previously been closed confuses me too. Zacian King of Windows while you asking further questions may sound innocent I am not a staff member, I get the impression that they don't want to deal with any trouble.
ah man this forum and ME-tan is dead forever I guess :'(

I'm also new here but I admire this site still being up after all this time. I never knew about this corner of the internet until the past year or two, I would love to see some activity. Wanted to sign up like a year ago but the registrations were closed and forgot about it.
Registration got weird cause of bots, and there's only me managing most things so stuff can be slow to fix.
Welcome in.

Nice to meet a fellow gen Zer exploring the internet!
But yeah, I understand LeaflameSD's point. In many ways, this forum feels like a relic of the past (which is why I'm here; surfing old sites is my thing). Most people who have participated here have likely grown up and moved on. I also feel like most younger people nowadays are exposed to centralized social media platforms (including Reddit and Discord's communities), so I feel like old-school forums are unfortunately fading away from the mainstream. Also, smartphones, apps, and big search engines prioritizing commercial sites may be playing a part.
I'd love to help with this small community too, but I wouldn't be sure what to talk about.

Thanks for Replying My Fellow Gen Z, As another Gen Z Why do people do the same old boring things all the time why can't people ever have fun like why does it have to always be a hellstorm of political controversies or dumb stupid challenges or dancing I'm Autistic and I'm a Gen Z and I really don't see what all the fun and why Smart Phones or Big Corporate Social Media are even popular in the first place now adyas I just feel people are striped away of any unquietness, fun, and personality to ever be of any taste to me now adays people are just plain and boring and flat out sad.

I'm so sick and tried of boring stuff cause that is what I feel the internet has become now adays and as a Gen Z that stinks I can't do anything cool now adays oh millennials had it so much better then us Gen Z(s) that sucks and I'm personally jealous cause I cannot use the Internet when I was a child back in the 2000's unlike now adays which is really sad and boring which I can be on the internet for as long as I want so I wish that there could be a way to have fun in a era like this but I do hope that the world and internet could become peaceful, fun and full of life again but we'll have to see on that...
You know what I Think... I may have some ideas on how OS-Tans some sort of Community again I want your ideas that could help Vtuber OS-Tans would really help alot... I just want at least some sort of Community again is that really F***ing hard to ask for...?
I get what you mean but making Vtubers in the first place is really hard.
Not to mention getting the vtubers popular + the controversy surrounding it if you're not careful.
It's a really hard industry. :(

We actually have a thread for this already.
https://www.ostan-collections.net/forum/index.php/topic,211.2430.html
welcome new folks! i love seeing people join us, this site means a lot to me. i'm pretty spacey (thanks, mental illness and hectic life!), so i tend to post here for a few weeks, then get totally distracted and forget this site exists, but i'll try to converse with y'all! (been on here since about 2008, at one point had the most posts out of any user, still friends--including a bestie--with a lot of OG folks from here! ^^)
i'm gonna go backwards and reply to some points posted about here since i was last on. pardon any spelling or grammar errors, i'm posting from my mum's laptop since mine's waiting on new cooling fans. (they're in Shenzhen right now!) i'm noticing it's bigger than mine (so everything's not in the place i'm used to) and i kinda need to HULK SMASH on the keys to make sure everything actually gets typed...
RE: VTubers - i saw a video on YT the other day about how a mid-tier model, properly rendered and rigged, costs roughly $1k USD. i have an idea for a VTuber channel, but that's DEFINITELY backburnered now (even if i did the textures myself)! not to mention, when you have something public and interpretive like the OS-tan, it gets to be tricky figuring out who to cast as them, like how people debate over which Batman was best. they're all the same character, but someone performing that role, when the character's been such a public one for SO long (and the creator is long gone, or in the case of OS-tans, hotly debated), leads to a lot of debate over who's "right" or "accurate". considering the near war that happened early in OS-tan history (iirc there's a wiki page about it, i might have wrote it back in the day), it's usually better to not ascribe super-permanent traits to a character without the greater consensus of the community (and remember, we're NOT the main community for OS-tan, Nijiura is). besides, like neurofumo said, it's kinda cutthroat and pretty saturated already. and who would we get to play them??
RE: Gen Z vs Millenial Lament - funny thing, i actually envy your generation a bit because of the increased access to the internet. that wasn't a guarantee when i was growing up (i was actually the only kid in the 5th grade to not have it at home), it was more expensive, slower, and harder to use. there's totally things i miss about that time period (GeoCities, AIM, chatrooms, dollmakers, flash, etc), but a lot of these things either still exist or can be accessed via the Wayback Machine (or similar entities). personally, i don't think it's a matter of good vs bad, it's just different. my parents raised a curious and creative kid (maybe accidentally), and i can tell you that Encarta, much as i loved it, would NOT cut it for me now. (in addition, access to information has made a shitload of things in life better, like resolving cold cases, medicine, science, etc.)
also, while i understand you're quite passionate about things, i respectfully request that you take a moment to breathe, and then go back over and edit your posts for spelling and grammar. your points will come across much easier if your writing's easier to read. ;^;
RE: boring vs fun - this post is confusing, are you saying that posting is inherently fun? that this is more fun than other activities? (which, i'll admit, this is more enjoyable than a tooth extraction, highway traffic, heated arguments, the stomach flu....) or maybe that there's a right and a wrong way to have fun?
cause i can assure you, there's plenty of ways to have fun. if you're of the mind that not posting is inherently boring, perhaps consider posting in other topics like has been previously mentioned by myself and others ლ(ಠ_ಠ ლ)
it's also rather rude to call people boring for having other things going on in their lives. i wish things were as "boring" as when i was most active on here. things were so much nicer and simpler then.
RE: Big Companies - this brings to mind the song "Video Killed The Radio Star", since that's akin to why this site's so quiet nowadays. people communicate in different ways, dude, and it evolves over time. with some exceptions (Reddit, mostly), forums/BBS aren't really how people with a shared interest interact anymore. weirdly enough, i'd say we're closer to how Chat Rooms used to be, since that's kind of what Discord servers and group messages are. so while big companies might own the specific platforms, they're not the driving force behind why forums themselves aren't the main means of communication anymore. instant gratification is. ╮(￣ω￣;)╭
RE: Old Members - of those i'm still in touch with, we're okayish? some better than others, ofc. no one's in absolute peril afaik. one of us actually got married earlier this year! others of us are dealing with increasing health issues (both themselves and family), and someone had to delete all their accounts due to internet stalkers. we're living our lives, like everyone here. would love for more OGs to get back in touch, though, i miss everyone. ;v;
RE: Bots - unfortunately, where when i joined we had a pair who owned the site, around 4-6 admins, and a solid community of about 20, we're now down to 1 owner, 3 mods, and a community of less than 10. add to that the increased sophistication of BotWare in the past 10 years (and bots looking to infiltrate pretty much anything in an effort to steal passwords, whether or not it's even worth it), people having lives outside of this site, and community infighting/drama, and you can see why it's harder to wrangle things like registration and moderation. please try to understand.
Man the internet is getting worse each day, Google wants more DRM good damn it, also I feel so lonely here I can't upload images directly here but I really want something cool to happen nothing has been happening and that why I haven't been visiting.
Forum like this, (especially not so popular like this) are abandoned for a long time.
People choose less stable groups, when everything dissapears in toons of garbage. You cant even find what was posted yesterday.
Same with discord servers of not popular topics. They live about half a year and that's it.

Yo What's up I've heard alot of great things about OS-Tans and it peaked my interest so I've finally decided to join the community plus I'm quite board one day I want to make a Visual Novel Game about OS-Tans maybe once I'm able to finally get my hands on more powerful hardware.

Thanks I really do love OS-Tans, Sure if I could get enough people to support it and developers to help with the project it will also be Open Source and it will be built using Ren'py as its base engine. So would you help me get this started and help with the development?
I would really appreciate it alot anyways I wouldn't be able to start this until 2024.
If you want os-tans to continue you better move on to Linux and update wiki and submit more linux distributions os-tans mascot.
Because Windows ditch every old version of windows and these people will insult you whom still use W7, W10
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41t5uOKCDc8
which means these heartless windows fanboy are force us to kill Nanami put her in the coffin
and there'll be no future if JP artist lose interest to draw new Windows os-tan. So if that happen it's this english forum the last torch
But Linux distributions are still same name so nothing's change same girl but different versions you've a room to help.
So with that I'm off to Linux and revive make W7 theme. With that I'm revive nanami in there.

Actually I think Windows 13 would be the Windows Me/Vista of this time because 13 = bad luck and Windows 12 would eventually become the next XP, because XP was shunned initially until SP2 (2004)

??? Hmmmm I don't really know about that just take a look at the current state of Windows :'( I think you have another thing coming if you think Windows is going to get good again :( unfortunately Mr. Satya always gets his evils ways they are shoving Garbage AI and AI Spyware into Windows 11 and Windows 11 is way worse than Windows Vista cause Windows 11 is half ass + the UI is ugly and doesn't feel like an Windows OS to me Windows Vista had way more care, thought, and effort put into it unlike Windows 11 also Windows Vista has a prettier UI than Windows 11's boring, bland, ugly ass UI that I despise also unlike 11 Vista is not shipping garbage bloatware on our PCs I think Windows 10 is the last decent/good Windows OS where ever going to get ever again though Windows 7 was way better than Windows 10. That is my rant on Modern Windows its been down hill for Windows since 2012 with Windows 8.
Older versions of Windows like XP, Vista, and 7 are way better compared to what we currently have Windows is not the same like it used to be and Windows stopped being good after Windows 7 just take a look at history of Windows prior to Windows 8 from Windows 95 to Windows 7.

That's because W11 fanboy(linux hater bullies) youtubers channels harass us W7. W10 users to stop use W7, W10 include linux by push us to W11. They're passively kill our Madobe Nanami, Ai, Yuu, Touko to shitty W11 by made us stop use W7 by slur include slur us who tried to get what we want W7 theme on Linux and this is why I put W7 theme on Linux Xfce desktop. Sure you can use Open Shell on w10-w11 but how long will it last? That's why I'm not put my life on W11 anymore it's pretty much like how much Gnome3 DE on Linux ugly to me. W11 pretty much looks like PopOS and Ubuntu's Gnome DE UI.

- The OS-tan for Windows 7 through 10 are far from the only OS-tan.

Ahhh may I remind you about the recent incident of Windows 11. Windows 11 sucks it will always be a bad Operating System when being compared to Windows XP, 7, and 10 hell even Windows Vista and 8.1 can be pretty decent with the right updates and tweaks to the system
FUCK WINDOWS 11! that OS is for turds.
Bing Back Windows XP and 7 I will even take Windows 8.1 over Winshit 11 the Microsoft Recall feature is also just plain garbage.

Sorry, also I'm not harassing you I'm just saying its not worth it to defend Windows 11 it just encourages Microsoft to make even worse decisions which can lead to worser products which means we can get a versions of Windows that could end up being 10 times worse than Windows 11 already is and even that thing is already shit and already has alot of backlash underneath its belt and is already in enough hot water let's not forget about Windows Recall.
Windows is a sinking ship its a skeleton of its former self Windows just hasn't been the same since Windows 8 in 2012 and Windows 11 ain't making shit any better b just being bad so we might as well jump ship to Mac OS and Linux which are now far better than the crap Microsoft loves to give us now a days.
I'm sorry for sounding so harsh but its the truth Windows 11 is trash real trash and what's gonna come after it is gonna be worse look Windows 10 is already shit Windows 7 is way better but I didn't think Windows was gonna become even more shit in the future looks like Windows 11 threw that out the Window if you got my pun; the future of Windows just looks bleak like it or not people are gonna bash and hate on it this has to be one of the worst versions of Windows EVER to exist there is nothing good to fallback on so no excuses just admit it that is shit and it's gonna get worse in the future.

I wasn't saying you were harassing me at the moment, but I thought you were going to not like me because I use Windows 11 & since you called its users "turds" I wasn't even being a fanboy, after all Windows
did need a refresh but I will have to agree Microsoft hasn't been doing a good job at listening to it's userbase and listens to businesses instead.
At this rate we need another Home User/Business Split (just like Microsoft did from 1996 to 2001) so Microsoft can do what the Users want with Home releases while Microsoft does what it wants with Buisness releases, fair compromise.Also here is something weird: Back in 2015, people were saying the same things about Windows 10 that they do now about Windows 11 and vowed that Windows 7 was better and Windows 10 was he-double-hockey-sticks. same with Vista in 2006 and XP in 2001. Confound it... Windows started of with a rocky start in 1985.
I wish not to start an argument, but someday, there will be a Windows Version you would hate more than Windows 11 seeing this pattern :-[
Once I again I am not white knighting, I'm just getting this off my chest. This will be the end of this debate

No, No! Windows is getting worse. Windows 10 Pro has ads in it—not just Home, but Pro, Enterprise, and Education too. I'm not so sure why the fuck, Microsoft is shoving consumer crap adware into business versions of Windows https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/candy-crush-on-win10-enterprise-are-you-on-drugs/23944832-50af-4cc9-afd2-b9171743296a (not the server versions). Are you still trying convince me that Windows 10 is not fucking dogshit!? Cause it is dogshit well, it might not be as fucking bad as Windows 11, but that's as far as I'll go with complementing that fuckturd of an OS that is named Windows 10. I had to use Power Shell Tools just to debloat Windows. Thanks to Chris Titus Tech Tools: https://christitus.com/windows-tool/ its what helped me kept my sanity when using these shitty operating systems especially Winshit 11, I disabled that stupid context menu and I'm using the old one, its better that way. So thank you Chris Titus!
So, it's not about business users bleeding into Windows; that's not the problem here! It's Mr. Satya Nadella wanting to please the shareholders, so they shove ads into our PCs. You don't hear business users complaining about it out loud. Check out this thread on the Windows 11 forum https://www.elevenforum.com/t/start-layout-in-windows-11-for-all-users.1879/. Don't defend this shit that you call Modern Windows, well people are only holding back their attacks and anger on Windows 10 because 11 is a lot worse in many ways. Honestly, Windows 10 is the last decent version we have right now. Windows 11? Well, it's for turds, made by turds. They only care about AI, money, and trend-chasing these days. It's a different era—no more Windows XP or 7 and back than we didn't have NO Fucking TikTok Bullshit other fucking crap like that to deal with in the PAST!" It's like they say you don't own your PC Microsoft does when you have Windows installed on your PC!
Windows is getting worse with each new version that is released. Yes, every version upon release has its flaws, but this fucking shit of a situation is different. Windows didn't revert to its previous state after Windows 8; we're still experiencing the lingering effects. The team is relentlessly trying to mobilize the entire fucking UI, even though it's a desktop operating system for god's sakes.
They continue to push XAML and UWP since Windows 8 and they continue to be ignorant about the situation and end users
HATE HATE HATE this fucking shit especially me, so when they now trying to push crap like WinUI and MAUI that means they don't
LISTEN TO THE END USERS AND DEVS AIN'T GONNA GIVE A CRAP ABOUT WHAT MICROSOFT IS TRYING TO FUCKING PUSH THEIR SHIT ON DEVS! and Devs are gonna use other tools there are better tools out there. You can't defend this shit. Even businesses rely on legacy Win32 programs that haven't been rewritten, which would be prohibitively expensive for them to do. Most including regular users prefer Win32 APIs over the UWP ones, (not to be confused with 32-Bit Code that is completely different). Let's just say Microsoft making Windows 8 did some real fucking damage to them and their mindset, and the way the make Windows now a days.
I understand that you might want to defend Windows 11 because you're using it, but in my experience, everything about it is FUCKING TRASH, because I used it for almost a year now and shit ain't getting any better. It's a downgrade from the functionality of the taskbar and right-click context menu to the fucking dogshit they call the start menu in Winshit 11. Older versions of Windows were much better in this regard. It feels like a less functional OS, and anything that comes after Windows 11 seems to be heading in a bad direction.
I genuinely despise and loath the Windows 11 design team behind the Windows 11 UI. It's garbage and fucking trash. This no longer feels like a Windows OS; they're trying to fucking rip off Chrome OS, MacOS, and Linux UI and not in a good way either. Personally, I want my Windows OS to look like Windows. Additionally, they keep adding such useless fucking shit features to Windows and even File Explorer is not safe from their grubby hands. I ended up removing the fucking Home and Gallery sections using the registry because they serve no fucking purpose other than bloat and annoyance. Take a look at the image below, showing my Windows 11 Desktop, I fucking despise this shitty half-ass operating system.

There are also so many glitches in Windows 11 that I managed to trigger this with the Windows Title Bars (Please look very closely at the upper left corner of the image,
ZOOM in if you have to):

Do you want to keep defending Microsoft over and over again? Yes, they had problems with XP, Vista, 7—whatever. But this shit is fucking different now. Their modern business model aims to satisfy investors so they can make more money. Splitting the products into
Home and
Business users won't help; they're a business, and they want to exploit users for profit. Whether you're a business user, a home user, or just Joe Dane, Microsoft turned Microsoft Office into a Software as a Service (SaaS) in 2013. And guess what? They eventually want to do the same with Windows, so they can charge you multiple times to use your own computer.
Don't compare today's Microsoft to past's Microsoft. Papa Satya and the execs only care about money. They're such a monopoly that they keep pumping out shitty versions of Windows. It's not like the good old days. And guess what? Windows is no longer their primary income source. It's subscription services like Office (now known as Microsoft 365) and their cloud service, Azure. So, whether you're a business or a home user, they treat you the same and so I don't think they would give a shit about listening to their users.
Oh, and here's something from a former Microsoft employee and Windows developer.

Fine, I know you're not, but still, let me give you the facts. Microsoft is a different beast now, and I'm just going to use a different OS. You won't see me using something like Windows 24 in the future, if it's even called that. Look, I needed to get this off my chest too. Microsoft is heading in a different direction this time around. Times have changed, and the old patterns don't matter anymore. I'm done with this debate. I'm trying out Linux and moving to it because I'm fed up with all the issues I've had to put up with in Windows 10 and 11. They're garbage. What's
worse is that Apple made their MacBooks more enticing when they introduced Apple Silicon, which is making Mac OS look alot better for some reason. Microsoft messed up big time by not caring about their users, product, and effort; they only care about money. That's it, plain and simple!

Your right I'm sorry I shouldn't be that aggressive; aghhh maybe I should just jump off the Windows ship right now before Microsoft and papa Satya find even more ways to torture me to death or even get revenge on me in my nightmares man I really miss Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8.1 they where so much better compared to what we have today as of currently Windows 10 and 11 are way worse maybe its time I may be getting another Laptop given to me real soon so I may install something like Zorin OS on it to try out.
