  1. Indeed, what Kaguya said. Just let people know it exists through a post. There was enough controversy surrounding the MoTM already. After all everyone on the forums already knows nosebleed, we should give a chance to everyone else in the community to be special, whether they joined today or 2 years ago or whether they have 10 or 10,000 posts. The nature of people will show itself on its own.
  2. Yeah its only in the upcoming calendar events, on boards its actually in the correct format (so for example 16 Jul 2014). So it should be an option in the calendar. And I agree, when you're doing number only date, either go from the largest unit to the smallest (yy/mm/dd) or smallest to largest (dd/mm/yy). Mixing the stuff is like having time format 53:03:27 for 53minutes 3 hours and 27 seconds xD
  3. Well for this purpose there is the VNDB list field in your profile, which is displayed with your every post - people can see what you've played there. Well, my list is: FAVORITE games (Hoshimemo, Iroseka, AstralAir)
  4. Well, if people don't see that the correct choice is the color of Shinku's hair, I will just have to post more pics of her all over the place!
  5. no, its sorted by last activity
  6. I can never forget the first fuwa spammer xD You started a legacy here
  7. Yeah this one is pretty bad xD Green doesn't go well with pink xD
  8. sadly it got kidnapped by snowpoke xD
  9. Orange is basically pink in disguise so you should go with that
  10. I think I also missed my 2000 by a few :/
  11. And this is why there was no color for mods, because once you need to pick the color, you can never choose what fits right xD And you don't even realize you had it the first time, the orange https://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/5574-approved-moderators-colored-name/#entry133823
  12. If you notice a VN that is missing, let the staff know. But I believe we managed to upload all of them, zaka and kendjin were working on lot of them for testing pre-installed versions and such.
  13. Hello, Fuwanovel~ I would like to let you know that today I am stepping down from my admin position and leaving the Fuwanovel staff. I will explain why, but first I want to start on a positive note. So let me tell you about the beginning of my Fuwa journey~ In January 2012, I got into Visual Novels through my first VN Planetarian. I instantly fell in love with the media and while I was playing my second game, Little Busters, I was also following the very creation of Fuwanovel - that is on Aaerus VNAer blog. I saw all the struggle she was having with it, every day being socially pressured into changes of her plans (believe it or not, one day Aaeru even gave up and accepted only hosting the patches, not the pre-patched releases, just to fight over it and revert this change later to what Fuwanovel is today). But it was this fighting for freedom that made Aaeru glow with a radiant aura around her that I got to respect so much. Once Fuwanovel launched, I used it to download few VNs while only following Aaerus blog, but then later it didn't give me and I also joined the forums. From the very start I had crazy and radical opinions, but it was these opinions that later got me to be invited to join the staff. I explained in the invitation that I will not change anything about my behavior and I will still act the same way I always have, and apparently that was the exact reason they wanted me on. So I joined. And as I promised I didn't change a bit, I was defending the freedom of all Fuwanovel members, often times only getting support from a single person in the staff, Aaeru. And trust me, Fuwa staff section is a true battlefield, if I ever saw one. You don't even want to see the stuff that happens there xD So having support is priceless there. It's been exactly a year on this day since Aaeru posted the AstralAir topic which was originally titled "For Steve" (I renamed it later to turn it into a general AstralAir hype discussion). And this topic is actually my last memory of her (she was still posting after that but very rarely). It happened few weeks after one of the largest battles in the staff section regarding a member linking to a licensed JAST torrent on the forums, a battle where Aaeru and I managed to defend the members of the forum from the tyranny (joke) of other staff who even deleted the post because they misunderstood the Fuwanovel mission. At the end of that topic, Aaeru even admitted how tired she is of trying to defend the freedom over and over again - she's been running Fuwanovel for over a year at that time and that is not counting all the preparations and stuff before the site even launched. It is quite possible that this exhaustion was one of the reasons she left, combined with the stuff that happened earlier that year (DC3 c&d) and possibly other reasons. So from that point, I was alone, I no longer had support within the staff, I no longer had anyone there to encourage me in my arguments, anyone to assist me when I got tired of fighting for freedom. I no longer had anyone to call upon to assure me that I am fighting for something worth fighting for. And I endured for about the same amount of time, a year. However in that year, I was no longer able to win battles, the best I was able to do was delay the outcome at the cost of increasingly more and more effort to keep delaying. But sadly I can no longer go on, I am just too tired and need a break. You can probably even see it on my earlier post today (not gonna link), for which I would like to apologize, but I will keep it there just for the measures. The whole day today I was thinking about this resignation post and so I ended up overreacting there a bit. Moving on, I would like to apologize to everyone who was supporting me and depending on me in some of the latest incidents, where I in the end failed to defend the interests and freedom of Fuwanovel members. It makes my defeat that much more painful, seeing all the people who showed their support either with upvote, reply or a message in personal conversation. However, this is not the end! And I hope you will help me. It is no longer in the power of a single staff member to do this, we will need everyone to hop on board (of the pirate ship xD) and make their voice heard. Because it is you, members, who make Fuwanovel what it is. And if what we have to do is scream, then scream! If what we have to do is fight, then fight! And I know lot of you will have it hard as I know that most people supporting my stance are not native English speakers, but even if you have to use broken English or you don't know how to properly formulate your sentences, try it anyways! Because your voice is what matters. As you can see it doesn't matter what is written under your name, it can say new member, it can say veteran member, it can say moderator, it can say admin but every one of us still has only one voice, I might have had admin under name but my voice was no longer loud enough, it is weakened by my exhaustion. So I want your voice to be heard, let's get more people to scream and make it loud! And let me end on a positive note as well~ BGM: A Brand New World (nico since its not on YT) So... I am by no means leaving Fuwanovel, if you were hoping for that then sucks to be you I will actually try to dedicate all the time that I used to spend on all these hidden problems to things that matter the most - Mare and Shinku (and perhaps Yuuki if I end up loving her too ) So you can expect more lolis, more Mare and Temple activities, More Shinku and perhaps a construction of her Temple. Also I should have some more time to try to better manage the EH project Oh and I am not promising anything, but if I love AstralAir, there is a chance that I might help with something like H-scene translation if I feel like I can handle it - but nothing is for sure yet, its just what I'm thinking now. Also, I need to make sure Shinku is watching over Fuwanovel in my place, but I will also need your help for that - make sure you vote that Shinku logo for the next Fuwa logo xD (in before this whole resignation was a plan to get more people vote for that logo ) So yeah, if you thought that I overdo all the Shinku and Mare stuff now, prepare yourself for the future. Imagine me when I don't have to spend 20+ hours a week fighting over regulations and can fully commit to the lolis. This forum will for sure turn into the promised loliland~ #shinkunovel #marenovel And I will also have more time to focus on being #1 Favorite fan in the world The future has already begun~ Lastly I would like to thank everyone who stood behind me during my time as a staff member for their support, but also everyone who stood against me for not making my life too easy. Also big thanks to all staff members, current and former ones, for putting up a good and fair fight And mainly thank you to everyone who is after all this time still friends with me. And not only friends but also family, as that is what Fuwa is for me. So yeah, can't wait for the easy peasant life with all of you~ xD ( )
  14. The original title was "A Loli" so it did have it and Ren was admitting to being a lolicon. I renamed the topic since some people complained about it being a misleading title and such, now its clear which loli turned Ren into a lolicon.
  15. Indeed, looked that up and there indeed is some pero pero action between them xD (and some other H xD) This is the group: http://exhentai.org/tag/group%3Aneko+works/ The following pic is from this full color manga http://exhentai.org/g/151591/dc361cfd08/ Looks alright, I might check the other works too xD [image removed by moderation]
  16. Mouse master race xD You and your thumbs xD Can't say it ever happened to me, the buttons are large enough for me. Anyways I would recommend asking someone for an userscript, but I am not sure how to run userscripts on tablet (can you even run browser with addons there?).
  17. we are going to play soon, get on TS if you wan to join https://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/598-teamspeak-come-chat-with-us-about-lolis-and-visual-novels/
  18. Make sure you installed AND selected the Staircase Subs font in the settings of the game.
  19. No its the same rule just written differently. As explained before it depends on the content of the topic - if it is not an off-topic image (so for example you are posting in a Loli image topic or Cute image topic), you can even post some peek-a-boobs in spoiler tag. Just try not to post some direct H scenes and such without big and proper warning - safer way is putting it as a link. Any discussion of H scenes including all the acts there and such is still allowed, just like it has always been (even I was discussing the awesome oniichan sharing H scenes ). The rule is not to censor the forums for ero content (we after all share EROge), but to make it possible to read it comfortably wherever you are, if people are reading it from school and suddenly there would be H scenes all over the place they would not be able to read it, if its hidden inside a link inside a spoiler, with proper warning, people will be able to read it at work or at school and know not to click the link or spoiler. And to add to the main post: Basically this new rules topic shouldn't even concern most of you, since you were following the classic logic anyways. It is there only for the more problematic members. Most people will never receive a single warning so you should not be worried about this.
  20. Big thanks to Dale for the seedbox (not sure if you noticed my birthday message, you are pretty lucky to have a birthday on the same day as Mare) But yeah, I'm checking the box everyday and everything was working perfectly And just a fun stat for the public, the most uploaded game from the seedbox is Rewrite, reaching almost 4.5TB of data, with a second place being almost 1.5TB behind - come on people, you need to recommend more of the H-games ;P Although Rewrite is very good so I guess its fine (but you should promote Hoshimemo more xD )
  21. The main problem it imposes is a lack of interested in a repeated topic. When a person creates a new topic that has already been discussed in the past, the people who have said their part in the old one will be less likely to post in the new one (I often ignore topics i have thoroughly answered in the past). The opposing problem is reviving an old post where the information can be outdated or the topic has so much content that new members will not want to read through. Finding the proper balance is the difficult part for every forum. There cannot really be a simple policy, it is up to the feels and information of the topic poster - is there an old topic discussing exactly what you are going to discuss? Is the topic relevant to this day? Can opinions of the posters in the old topic change over time so much to justify a new topic for them to express a new opinion? Those are all relative question that the topic poster should ask, and usually the only way it can work on a forum. If I would give an example, I just revived the AstralAir topic as the topic itself was about a game that is coming out this month - it is not out yet so any information relevant to that topic is still relevant today and a new opinions of former posters and new posters can add to such topic. However once the game comes out, it will easily warrant a new topic, because people might want to discuss the game from a different perspective, not from a perspective of someone who is waiting for it but someone who is in the middle of playing it or has finished it. The new topic will be full of spoilers and new opinions about the game, that were impossible to be formed in the past (as obviously the game wasn't out yet). So instead of imposing a rule of like "don't revive if the topic has been dead for more than 2 months", we need to educate the people posting on how to differentiate between a topic that needs revival and topic that needs a new post from scratch. And that can be a hard thing~
  22. HYPE! Just 10 more days xD I personally haven't even see the OP or read any synopsis so its all fresh for me whenever I see it in the game. I'm thinking about waiting few weeks before playing, but I'll probably end up hopping right into it xD
