Darkness Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 At home, I don't have a computer. That is the reason I don't get to go on the boards hardly at all during the breaks. Really, it sucks. Anyhows, What's new? I see that we have some new things. I read about the banner and the color and tags, anything else I'm missing? Also, did anyone do anything exciting over the Christmas stretch? How was Christmas for everyone? New years eve? I just need to get back into the swing of things. Holla! What's up with the anime superstar?

Manic Webb Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 If you don't have a computer, but you want to have internet access at home, you should look into getting (I can't believe I'm supporting these people) a WebTV/MSNTV. If you just want to get to OB at home, then it's all you need. If you ever plan to build a webpage or listen to music or do anything besides read text and look at pictures... then it's best to hold out and get a computer. WebTV has nothing resembling a hard disk, so don't count on downloading anything with it (on a major plus, viruses have no effect on WebTV). When it comes to sound files, it's limited to WAVs and MIDIs. You can view most webpages, as long as they don't involve Shockwave and/or Java. WebTV has no Java support. You can go to chat rooms, though. I used WebTV (I think they change the name to MSNTV) for about two years. It could do a lot of basic stuff (you'd have absolutely no problems with using OtakuBoards) but it's not worth it if you want to do more than just read.

Syk3 Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 What has been going on...well, first, you should check out the announcements and scroll down; previous announcements during the time that you missed should still be there, so you can catch up on a few things, I suppose. A very important event that you should note is the start of OtakuAwards 2003. Check the Event Arena and vote for your pick in each catagory. ^_^ My Christmas wasn't too bad. I got some cool stuff, and had a fun time out of school, so that's cool. :) Lastly, Anime Superstar, I'm told, was what theOtaku.com used to be featured as on their website (i.e. theOtaku | Anime Superstar). I don't remember it, but I'm sure some people here do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vampire: Ed Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 I know the feeling, Darkness. Me and my friend had to walk to the local public library to use their computers. However, it wasn't so local for us. We had to walk miles upon miles to get there. We roughed it, seeing as there wasn't always a ride open to us.

ZeroBlade Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Computer I'm using isn't even mine. A friend let me borrow it til I get my own repaired. (Which I haven't gotten around to yet.... >.>) You might wanna check out the Events Thread too. The Otaku Awards are being held. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
