I prefer to use the term "much more calm, quiet and slow-paced".
I could absent for a month and then read all the new topics and replies in about 15 minutes. Now I need almost an hour to read everything.

FabiaN was still the admin, and we didn't had fancy things like an IRC channel. Instead we had a shoutbox and a random quote display ,.
The image gallery was members only (I joined when someone posted a link in wakachan). Just a few days after I joined, and after complains because of the "members only" policy, "!WAHa.06x36" (one of the main translators of OS-tan comics) asked FabiaN for the retirement of all his translated comics from the gallery if he didn't allowed everyone to access the gallery. Since that day, the gallery has been free for everyone.
And that kids, was the story of one of the most important and decisive moments in the history of this site, OS-tan collections.

I feel old ;_;

Real quick before I sleep. I would be extremely interested in a "History of OS-tan Collections" Article in the wiki.  As far as I know, I think C-Chan and NewYinz by themselves made this place a rather active forum.  I remember joining because it was quiet.... C-Chan joined a few days after I did, and it has never been the same. heh

-_- it wasnt through the lack of trying on our part a asure you T_T *frosty glare* I give youtube more credit! I cant count the number of members weve gotten in because of that XP video -_-  

Fine maybe a little credit.. but not "C-Chan and Newyinz by themselves"  Its almost insulting -_- Makes the effort to keep the place alive seem trivial

[Exa]

I stand to this place until the end of time! Okay, until the end of the forum...

HAHA!!!  Thanks, but sayin' that in the presence of the Captain is inviting a death wish!  ^.^

No but seriously, I have to agree that I can't take credit for it either.  And it's not out of modesty, just out of plain fact that only a team effort can lift a forum out of its death spiral.

I once spoke with NewYinzer about this a long time ago, and mentioned the famous story about "The Tale of Two Forums".  Shortly after I joined, and posted Amiga-san, and received the little back-and-forth between me, you, Darknight and Pitkin, I also joined another emerging OS-tan forum with high hopes for the future.  And there too I poured everything I could into it, since I was under the impression then that this forum was on life support.  One could almost say that for a while, my contributions to THAT forum far exceeded anything I put here.

But alas, all the art, all the OS-tan discussions, and all the OS-tan resources mean nothing if the forum members themselves are not into it.  Truth be told, everyone (including the forum admin) spent every waking hour of their time on that thing roleplaying some silly Naruto games.

Naturally, after about two weeks, they all finally got tired and left, probably never realizing that the forum was about OS-tans.  Then more weeks past and no activity, then more and more and more until finally the admin posted a thread complaining about why no one was posting.  And that's just about when I had had enough.  In hoping the forum would magically grow by itself, the admin did nothing ot prevent its demise.  >_<

I think it's still around, but I honestly haven't looked back.  Personally, I rather be in a place where people are willing to build things, discuss relevant issues and just plain better themselves, rather than RPing the site to death.  >.<  
Even quirky tangents, like the Captain's exchange over in the old PalmOS-tan thread, are useful because they keep both the thread and the spirit of creativity (essential to the OS-tan phenomenon) alive.

If the reverse were the case, I wouldn't dare post my OS-tans here else they'd die a sure death in obscurity.....  ;____;

[CaptBrenden]

Ah, palm tan, that was still back in the life support days. I got on once a day at night maybe in country and the only posts were either that or topicless thread.  Hence why I had the time to write a small novel in each post.

[C-Chan]

*siiiigh*  I do miss the days when one could write novels for posts.... ^___^

It'd be a waste to even try that now, given how quickly threads get buried.  -v-'

[CaptBrenden]

Or how little people want to actually read them.   Ive noticed few people have the attention span for really long posts.

^^;;;;;;;;;;;
regarding my previous post, I'm not downplaying your contributions at all. It wasn't that active, but during my week or two lurking, this place had a wonderful atmosphere.  

I must say though, once those 2 started posting, I ended up being in a forum that had a different atmosphere than when I first joined. That's basically what I meant. ^^
Like you said, they didn't do it single-handedly, but you gotta admit they were major contributors. (OS-tan, art topics, spam and all)

I think the change drove panda away tho. >_>

No offense, but at first, NewYinz didn't make sense to me. ^^;
A random example:

MMM...Sweat
MMM...Sweat
MMM...Sweat
MMM...Sweat
MMM...Sweat
Sweat is available at smarter retailers nationwide.

It wasn't off topic, and it was a silly conversation, and it did make me laugh, but still. ^^;



....and yeah Pitkin should join us more.  Think Pitkin deserves his own wiki article? XD
