OS-tan Talk / Re: OS-tan hot takes
Last post by thetitanflix - Today at 03:13:53 PMHot takes? Hmmm,
Well, I definitely agree with what you're saying! People only seeing Nanami as this random character to use in the Aero aesthetic is pretty infuriating, it's actually part of why I view that certain aesthetic in a negative light. You would think Windows making a short reel on OS-Tans some time ago would drive up interest (Technically it did, but you know the modern internet...)

OS-tan Fan-Fics, Comics and Fan-Stuff / Re: teku-a-fool's collection
Last post by Bella - Today at 03:13:12 PMI was REALLY hoping the next MacOS release would be Big Bear because I wanted a Big Bear-tan. But your design for Golden Gate makes me happy for what we got. I like the bridge suspension braids, and the pointy "cat ear" details! She's very cute. ^_^

OS-tan Fan-Fics, Comics and Fan-Stuff / Re: teku-a-fool's collection
Last post by tekuafool - Yesterday at 09:55:07 PMwell, its time to expand the macos family since macos 27 Golden Gate was just announced.
I'll probably adjust some things later but I'm trying to make her look like an assistant and also trying to tie in the Golden Gate aspect a bit (but no too much) with the pointy bits (making them look like pseudo cat ears).
I like to think that she can adjust her glasses to be either more "clear" or more "tinted".

OS-tan Fan-Fics, Comics and Fan-Stuff / Re: Sources for Mac Manga that...
Last post by Bella - June 04, 2026, 08:44:49 PMOne of the tragedies of so much OS-tan stuff happening on relatively small forums is that a lot of it has been lost to time. Plenty of media that originated on Futaba Channel & +Nijiura+ blew up to the point that it's still being circulated to this day, but I couldn't hazard a guess how much stuff from Pixiv, dA, various fan sites, etc. is gone now because of age and folks moving onto new interests and online personae. OSC is old and comprehensive (I don't know of a larger archive) but has always served a niche userbase, even at its height, so most of the art that originated here ended up siloed here. Which is just as well for many of us who do this as a passion project, but makes preservation efforts fairly challenging.
Welcome, and please do! OSC is a great little piece of old internet and I'm glad new people are still finding & making use of it.

Last post by thetitanflix - June 04, 2026, 07:08:01 PMSo it's partly lost media... Nice..
Well, that seems like everything needed to get stuff going, thanks, Bella!
I think I'll still stay roaming around on these forums, you all seem like a nice bunch of folks!

Last post by Bella - June 04, 2026, 12:24:40 PMQuote from: thetitanflix on June 04, 2026, 12:20:46 AMWhile on the topic of getting old sources, Mac Party.
Same deal as Mac Manga, I see the thread, but I don't see any type of source...
I assume you mean Mac Party Redux. That was a comic by one of our old members, Aurora Borealis. I'm not sure it exists in full anywhere on the site anymore, image host link rot has not been kind to the things posted here (nearly 20 years ago now). Some of it still exists on the old image gallery archive.
IIRC, Mac Party Redux was inspired by Mac Manga, but dropped the NSFW elements for more straightforward comedic scenarios. Given the name, I assume she made an original "Mac Party" but I'm not familiar with it - probably before my time here on OSC.
Aurora was a prominent Mac artist responsible for OSC's homegrown Mac-tans. Primarily, personifications for Mac System 1 through 7. (7.5-tan, 8-tan, 9-tan, 9.1 & 9.2-tan all originated on Futaba or Nijura, AFAIK.) You can see art of them at the archive link I posted, as well as chibi form here.
