Seriously though ...  dude! Zixaphir! I think you're the earliest registered non-admin I've met here! How'd you end up back at OSC?

I just happened to stumble on a link and said to myself, "Oh, I used to like that site. I wonder how much it has changed."

And it has changed a lot.

If you don't mind my asking, how so? I've witnessed a lot of change here myself, but I'm curious to hear the perspective of somebody who was at the site almost a year before I joined (and left for such a long stretch of time).

@zixaphir: *bows* always nice to meet an ancient one. i'm choco, and somehow i wound up with the most posts on here despite not being an admin. xD

you "used to" like this site? why not anymore? :[
(and i agree, what's changed? :3 )

@nej: good to know. have some potato and you'll feel better. :\
@paul: always cool to discover new music. whenever i do it makes me happy to have one more for the collection. ^^ also nice about the case, post pics when you can, and you'll do fine on the test. ^^

Feeling better.  Probably totally better by tomorrow.

@Stew: Nice, man ^^

I think I'm starting to feel better. My taste buds are back to normal, which is a good sign

[Chocofreak13]

I've actually visited a few times over the course of my 'absence', just didn't log in or anything. For one, the gallery used to be more of the fore-front and I feel the forum felt secondary, but now it feels vice-versa. I've never really been much of a community person, so I can't really speak for how much the community has changed. The theme definitely has. I feel when I joined, 2k-tan was more or less the mascot of this site.

Well, 'used to' in the fact that I used to actively browse, and more or less haven't for some time.

In a way, I find it odd that OS-tan hasn't become more of a booru gallery, but then again, this site pre-dates the advent of booru.

@Zixa: lol, 2k as the mascot? pent would be in heaven there. xD

i suppose it hasn't become more of a booru because 1. the format is largely different (for th the better, in my opinion), and 2. we don't really have enough material to qualify to be a booru. mind you, i had about 15,000 pictures to upload to the gallery, mostly rare pictures that we can't get anymore, but the drive they were on died. >>;

instead of just hosting the images, now we make our own -tans for older computers, ones that would otherwise never recieve characterization.

2k was mascot? I approve of this *w*

More or less. Meaning probably not officially, but close enough.

Sounds like the most logical progression of what this place would become. I approve.

Very interesting! I've heard that the gallery was more central to the forum Back In The Day, but I wasn't here so i wouldn't know. It seems as though the forum has become the central feature, but it sounds like the admins might want to shift some of the focus to the wiki in the future (which I fully support in theory and practice, as evidenced by my recent bout of wiki-editing fever).

Heh, I still remember the big forum theme change! It was kind of disorienting but tbh I ended up liking the new theme a lot better. 2K-tan was the unofficial mascot? I always thought ME-tan had that honor. : p

Anyway, here's hoping you stick around a little while longer and get acquainted with the community here. We aren't without our occasional problems, but it's really one of the loveliest I've had the pleasure of knowing.
