Topicless thread

[Tsubashi]

Anno... I might have to disagree with you there. The neurochemical adjustments often associated with religion can be rather astounding. Then again, such a topic is entirely subjective and varies incalculable amounts person to person, so... ^.^

Please be okay, though.

@ IDK's App-tan and OS-tan ideas: even if you can't put them down on paper, I would like to hear these ideas! That's why we have the Theories and Conjecture thread.

Ha, thanks, I'll try that.

Ah, don't worry, don't worry. Nejin, the demon he is, is a cold-hearted bastard, you know. I can take those things. ^^
More so, the damn CHURCH makes me want to...eargh. Ew. No, churches aren't healthy.

Yikes, religion.  I think I'll instead throw in my two cents regarding ceremonies, that is, marriages and funerals suck - even for the party(s) involved.  Such is the burden of tradition, I plan to include a provision in my will for a natural and cost effective burial - dump my unclothed body in a ditch somewhere, ha.  Seriously, I'd prefer my corpse not be loaded with preservatives and other nonsense.  I'd also like for there not to be any fanfare, but I doubt a will can actually do anything about that.

I think everyone feels the same way going to funerals, Nejin-san.  Even when it is someone you knew and cared about, the only thing on your mind is to get the hell out of there as soon as you can.  At least, that's the way I feel.

Solution number 141: FIRE IT...INTO SPACE!!!

And thank you for that, IDK.

By the way, your mind gets a bit fsck'd when you first visit a funeral, and then watch Battle Royale...yikes. >_>

Well, it does seem like we have to widen our audience a bit, and while we may be the second (after wikipedia) google result for OS-Tan, we need something to act as a magnet...to make sure they stay.

I agree. Something we have to realize and admit is that the idea of OS-tan WAS popular, yes, but not anymore... at least, not just in the form of still pictures and drawings. What we need is something different, something that actually gives OS-tans a "purpose". Something that is actually easy and simple enough to be achieved and contributed by the community, but not some over-ambitious projects (complicated games, RPGs, for example) with a 99% possibility to end in vain.

Although I am new to this forum, I would really like to contribute in this regard. I am inviting everyone to check out my "System Animator" project (this thread). It is a simple but interesting gadget to allow you to ANIMATE your favorite OS-tans corresponding to any Windows activities. Keep your XP-tan busy on your desktop according to CPU usage? It's up to your imagination!

Just because the original "canon" OS-tans may not be a fad anymore doesn't mean there still aren't artists who draw OS-tans anymore-- if you go to DA, you can dig up a ton of Linux-tans and Mac-tans, for example. I've never been huge on the "canon" OS-tans-- I've always cared more about original designs.

That being said, I applaud you for being willing to contribute to our community with these widgets...not that I could ever use this sort of sidebar widget, cause I use XP and will never touch a Vista machine as long as I live. ^///^

First of all, you CAN use gadgets on XP. You just have to install a 3rd party sidebar.

I know there are still artists out there who draw OS-tan stuff, and I do personally appreciate their continuous efforts and enjoy seeing some of their works, but let's face it... in general it's really far from the level of activity we saw when OS-tan was still hot. Just take a look at Vistan. It has been 2 years (I am not even counting Longhorn) but there isn't even a final design for her (don't tell me it's because Vista is not popular... we all know the "popularity" of an OS has NOTHING to do with the popularity of an OS-tan. Just take a look at ME-tan LOL).

I can see that some members are worrying about the dropping of activity in the forums. The cold fact is, keeping things and activities the way it was (eg. just posting pics), even if you try to boost the intensity, won't help anything. CHANGE is necessary if we really want to reverse the trend.

Even though I don't even use Windows at all, I still greatly admire your efforts of making OS-tan gadgets!

Long live the OS-tans!

Best song ever...not, but still a very catchy tune.

ALLA SOM INTE DANSAR E VÃ...LDTÃ,,KTSMÃ,,N!

Which translates to, basically, all the people who aren't dancing are rapists.

Cheery, isn't it. That's Swedish for you. ^^

[Silentbob]

Quite an... intriguing video.   @.@

Best jeg danser, ellers blir jeg arrestert.  (I'd better dance, or I'll be arrested).

I do believe I fixed the disappearing wiki link on the forum index, please let me know if I am just being delusional, though ;
Arigatou Gozaimasu!

[NejinOniwa]

That is correct, Tsucchan. -w-
