  1. No, there will be a separate thread which will go up at 12:01 AM (US EST). You won't be able to miss it, so be ready to bring your A-Game.

     

    This will be a once-a-year opportunity to party like it's 1999, compliment nice people who do good work, spread gifs and youtube videos and imgur pics, and rack up both cherished memories and post count.

     

    I expect great things, people!

  2. you should note that wine in ubuntu is probably out of date, so you might as well learn how to get the latest build from the winehq's ppa

     

    Also reading winehq's pages on the vn's you want to play would be probably useful too (if they exist)

     

    Also I guess you could just run it all in VMware/Virtualbox. (probably want 2d acceleration, but I don't really think you need 3d acceleration for VN's, but I could be wrong --- but you'll need a windows license for that (... which may or might not be a problem, but how legally you want to deal with this is your problem)

  3.  

    • Bloggers for Fuwa (and by extension the social media - e.g. twitter/facebook) could also post articles/announce about the releases/progress (seperate post from the translation updates?

    Aren't we already doing this, albeit slackily

     

    Also if anyone wants to talk blog with me or whatever please do contact me, haven't received a single word from management pretty much from the day I started (excepting a little stuff with Steve when I was exceedingly silly I guess). That said I'll keep moving things along, it's just that I can't add prospective authors or anything at the moment though they can admittedly pm me with articles...

     

    Well, I guess, but then again there's not as many original vn's running around compared to translation news, but I was mainly actually just putting a bunch of things to do (in general) regarding original vn's support.

  4. @Zhurai: A fantastic idea! This will go in the Community section. Do you have any examples of the sort of support you'd like to see?

    * random notes, don't think many of them need to be implemented but random ideas from a tired mind *

     

    personally (not part of the staff)...

    • I'd personally like to seperate the fantranslation(localization) projects from any original vn projects for one.
    • Bloggers for Fuwa (and by extension the social media - e.g. twitter/facebook) could also post articles/announce about the releases/progress (seperate post from the translation updates?)
    • Section on main site for said VN's (in seperate section so people don't complain I guess), I'm thinking it's better to just link to the game/product page or the developer's website + their thread instead of releasing torrents for them...
    • podcast, bring them on
    • possibly let them leak information exclusively through fuwanovel :3  (... well nothing much can be done here about that on Fuwanovel's side but oh well)
    • Project management / Repository/File management for groups that can't access/afford it (Dedicated space) - probably/unsure of how possible this is with current setup.

    that was really stream of consciousness and I probably missed other ideas to implement it. (and isn't really organized. I apologize for that~...)

  5. Color Symbolism is actually heavily dependant on what culture

     

    relevant link that I found actually a month ago... http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifestyle/the-universal-cheat-sheet-matching-colors-with-cultures-worldwide.html // http://dailyinfographic.com/what-colors-mean-in-different-cultures-infographic

     

    Depending on the culture, white can mean: children, death, happiness,heaven, holiness, intelligence, luxury, marriage, mourning, peace, purity, respect, truce, trust

  6. I was always under the impression that Zhurai was a moderator because of the IRC channel way back in the day when people just joined and left and there was the occasional 5 lines about sc2 or something. 

     

    15:04 nooblord1: hi

    15:14: nooblord1 has disconnected

    19:24: nooblord2: hey whats up

     

    Umm.... Nope!

     

    Admin because of another project but then I have it inactive now, turned into a moderator cause they wanted to lessen the amnt of admins on the forum (but didn't force me to become one, just went with it cause w/e), and then I was a moderater ever since.

     

    helping the IRC become slightly more active...... maybe could've helped slightly except wrong timing (I talked about sc2 stuff awhile after)   Also the IRC is seperate (was?) from the forum (or Kuu would've been an admin or moderator or something)

     

    (although I don't think my role in the IRC was that big except for the fact that I padded the stats enough because of the sc2 talk that some people tried to make that into a spamming game)

     

     

    That's what I remember at least /shrug

  7. Being a moderator is not some super serious business. We're members, just like the lot of you. We're here to enjoy fuwa as well.

     

    I was an admin before for a short while, turned back to a moderator cause other reasons (but I had the choice to stay as one, but I didn't bother/don't care)

     

    also I'm 90% inactive still or so moderator wise (also honestly I'm more interested in the community than the other stuff but busy with life /shrug)  

     

    actually I have no clue why I'm still a moderator but w/e, maybe I can be more active later oh, who knows~

     

     

    A moderator is supposed to moderate the community. That's just it. It basically means enforcing forum rules and dealing with reports. When something big happens, we also try our best to help with what's going on, but it's not an obligation or anything. Otherwise the inactive mods would have been excomungated or something, lol. 

     

    Pretty much.

    I mean I don't actually do very much moderation of posts either, although I do put in my inputs to current events here and there when I actually see them in the Staff forum....

     

    This isn't supposed to be a love/hate discussion, people. I will mention that I think it's funny how a few of the people who are basically asking us to turn fuwa into dictatorship are also complaining about how strict we are. The logics~

     

    The thing is- and it was a main point of mine- all of the drama currently going

     

    "So... Whaddaya say? Wanna be a moderator?"

     

    Just that. There are no super amazing obligations, secret rituals or any demands besides following the usual forum rules. We're just people the admin team found to enforce the forum rules, and we do it because we want to.

    You forgot the part to swear unyielding loyalty to the FuwaGod Aaeru and the ArchMage Tay...

    (just kidding, he's right there's really nothing else )

  8. Frankly, we are doing great. Every day we get more members, and the activity in the forums keep increasing. I remember a time where Aaeru had to make a topic asking how to make things more lively in the forums because of how little movement we were having, lol.

    wwwwwwwwwwwww

     

     

    We've had problems with spammers (me being one of them in the past~) and all sorts of other small and petty discussions that just seem ridiculous when I look back. Remember fuwaide? That really brings back memories :P

     

    Oh yes the IRC Chat days. the stats by ThatPlayer actually made it into a competition too (Lewy, Zaka, and you) wwwwwwwww

     

     

     

    Not that I'm too active nowadays until like.. less than a week ago, so I don't know the current state of things (general gist though probably)~

     

     

    Fuwa has certainly grown. I joined around a year and a half ago and to me it doesn't feel like a lot changed (this is good). I still love the community like when I was new here, everybody is still civil. The only thing I feel kind of nostalgic for was Ryoji's discussions of anime. That guy has been watching anime for decades, and so I loved hearing his perspective on newer and older anime. Also regarding Fuwa's growth, I really like how much more active the forums are now. That is definitely a plus.  

    Ryoji vs Eldin was funny
