Yeah, disregard that...

Welcome to the forum Stefan (odd name for a Brit, i'd expect Stephen, but meh)

[Ultimaninja]

Pretty much as stated. I left this place long ago (Actually I left all forum boards and went into a sort of Hibernation of these things) and only now remembered that I loved to visit this place.

Pretty much I am reconnecting with all of my old joys I had and I suddenly remembered this place. I started to remember when I was rolling around a touhou board and was suggested to visit other places.

I am in all sense of the word a new person as I barely remember much here (Save for a few people like Aurora before she became a mod and C-chan...or was it C-pig or something?) and much has changed in my abscence.

So about myself: My name is Ultimaninja, however as of late I have taken another name: Aquamentis the rom-hacker of Touhoumon.

As I've stated I am a rom hacker of FireRed Touhoumon english. If you've heard of Touhoumon then I am the one who helped with the Aqua/Yui Patch. And during my leave I learned how to play and edit emulators to my whim. It may not sound like much but eh.

I have recently been getting addicted to Touhou and all those games. So far I've been able to complete Touhou 6(Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, Marisa Bad End), Touhou 10.5(Scarlet Weather Rhapsody complete) and Touhou 12.3(Complete).

Anime I've recently watched/Completed:
Kanokon
Spice and Wolf

Games I'm playing:
-Battle Moon Wars (2nd Run, Using Lily and Magical Girl Amber, Haruna Route)
-Fate/Stay Night
-Shuffle
-Star Ocean: Second Evolution (Second run Rena's route)
*Soon to be Dissida

5 Favorite Heroines:
-Sakuya (Touhou)
-Hiro/Hillo (Spectral Souls)
-Frimelda (Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2)
-Mistel (Yggdra Union)
-Opera (Star Ocean: Second Evolution)

My favorite OS-tan used to be XP, but after seeing the Vista-tan she is now my favorite.

I cannot promise I can go back to my multiple posts per day routine because college classes will be of varying difficulty, however I can promise I will post a few times a week (save vacations, and occasional internet failure, etc.)

I hope OS-TAN Forums and its residents will accept me again.[/list][/list]

Welcome to OSC, Orion and Ultimaninja/Aquamentis!

I haven't seen you in such a long time, Aquamentis- I think it's been at least a year! The place has really changed since you were last here; C-Chan left for good in Nov '08, MisterCat also left earlier this year. I've also gained an interest in emulators, but to run vintage computer systems. It's great to see you return!

[NejinOniwa]

OLDE MEMBERS COME BACK?

What is this phenomenon!

^^

[OS Freak]

Can I get one of those lolis in your notice Nejin?. Welcome to all, both new and old members.

[NejinOniwa]

I'll see what we have in store...maybe.

[Friendkiller]

Hello everybody! xD

My name's Alexander, but I regularly use username "friendkiller". It dates long ago... My friend suggested it... Anyway, I'm 19 years old. Stydying, hoping for future. xD

I love everything japanese (except, maybe, some really sick things), and especially hentai. xD Trying to learn the lagnuage also.

Did you notice that every paragraph ended with xD? O.o

[OS Freak]

I noticed when you asked if anyone noticed. Haha That's good that you are looking for a future. Good, else you wont get near many japanese things without studying. Welcome. You'll fit very well here since OS Tans are very much in your line of likes. We also talk about many other things here so feel free. XD

[Friendkiller]

I actually found about this os-tan thing today! I was browsing Uncyclopedia, getting my daily dose of laugh, when some link took me to wikipe-tan. Some other link showed that there are others besides her, and so on.

I'm interested into knowing when did it all start? I've been browsing the net for years and this is the first time I stumbled upon this.

[OS Freak]

Wow years? But yes this has been somewhat recently not more than 6 years in age. Windows Millenium Edition was the first Microsoft Tan ever created then following the others. Clumsy lovable ME is the one who made it all possible. It originated in oriental countries not anywere in european or american and latin countries
I quite don't remember the exact place but it began on sites like the Futaba Cannel. Correct me Smokey or Nejin if I'm wrong. I'm trying to teach OS Tan history 101. I'm not been certifiied as a History teacher yet. XD

[Friendkiller]

I mean, i haven't been searching for years for this (I've got such a feeling from your first sentence), just plain surfing... You know... But, 6 years, that's a lot of time. But, internet is big...

Anyway, is it ok to talk in this thread, 'cause this is the introduction thread? Maybe I am drifting off-topic (my favourite unconcious activity)?

[Smokey]

The King of OT declares this OT indeed...

Also The explanation of the origins of OS-Tans is rreasonably correct (as far as i know)...

Ah, and to steer it all back onto topic, Welcome friendkiller... Welcome to the forum...

[NejinOniwa]

Demon Overlord welcomes you to his humble abode of this /osc/, Friendkiller.


Short version: OS-Tans began with the personification of WinME on 2ch, and the rest of the contemporary windows' followed suit quite shortly - this was approx. 2001-2002, when WinXP was newly released and competing with 2k for the market. Due to the high amount of old OS'es on the market, the older cast got quite much attention as well (up to 3.1-tan). This is just pulled out of my ass, and I don't think we have a good thread for this, but I guess you could check out the /osc/ wiki or the OS-Tan page on Wikipedia.

Added after 5 minutes:

Both are pretty outdated, though, a second quick look gives -w-;

Well, our wiki is probably the most proper on this part, so yeah.

[Kata-Kun]

I welcome all future lurkers.

Also, Everyone knows that ME-chan willed herself into existance, got lonely and began willing the others, amid errors and freezing up, so she may have sisters.

We are all sisters in ME-chan. all hail the mighty Blue screen of death.

[NejinOniwa]

All Hail Death.

Yes, that sounds like a fancy chant.

PRAISE ME, UNDERLINGS!
