It's has been one year since we, through sheer autism, uncovered the gayest, most pointless, conspiracy in the history of Zig Forums.

Speaking of the archive, one thing it's missing is a lot of the OC relating to the other mascots. Anyone who can dig that shit up would be appreciated.
Jordan Ramirez
I got the archive a few days ago in the other thread. Here is some newer stuff that was missing
Jeremiah Davis
Also this
Nathaniel Campbell
Besides the rock hopper, which ones turned out to be clip art?
Blake Rogers
Both of the owls and one of the hummingbirds.
Elijah Brown
Better mascot coming through.
Jeremiah Hall
Sucks Tyson got a little blackpilled after all of this went down. The open source community were supposed to be the good guys, and a very prominent project fucked him over for positive PR.
Nathaniel Clark
Anyone got any of the funny shit the LO designfag said or allowed to be posted before they shut everything down?
Carson Murphy
His email made it pretty clear this whole thing disillusioned him a lot.
Christopher Turner
I dunno, Tyson seems to have mood swings a lot. Might be because irl shit bogs him down too.
Jose Smith
The main thing this happening should teach us is that PR-fagging is cancer. All of this because LO thought they'd get brownie points for giving a free Laptop to some nigger or pajeet who stole clipart.
Jace Russell
I have some stuff
Daniel Sullivan
Jacob Gomez
David Phillips
Can't believe it's already been a year. And TDF still hasn't started another mascot contest. I wonder why
Liberated libbie is neat. I wish he would do another anniversary version.
Joshua Sanchez
Yeah, and no video share support. They really need to rethink that.
Adrian Stewart
Did you miss the "still salty about Libbie" thread from a month ago? Libbie is living, rent free, in a lot of heads in the LO project.
Nathan Brooks
I forgot about Tumblr-chan.
Blake Smith
They want to pretend the contest never happened. I'd say we basically 'won' even if only nominally.
Ethan Stewart
Thanks user. More motivation to practice my topology and make that Maff ecchi game, I guess.
Matthew Roberts
Why didn't pic related get as much of our meme energy as the goat?
Dylan Brooks
I'm glad nobody made Maff too much of a stereotype. She's just a thiccer Libb with a dark theme (and hoop earrings).
Brandon Wilson
Does anyone have archives of the original threads? The OneAngryGamer fags might be interested.
Libbie was better.
Michael Taylor
The ones from Zig Forums are archived here, but most of the files over a certain size are automatically scrubbed.
Camden Butler
Maybe. I'd still like one OC of her with Mr. WTFPL.
Brayden Bailey
Free balling beaver would have been a great mascot. For a summer camp or something...
Elijah Jenkins
His creator is some autistic pajeet who works at an animation sweatshop and draws anime women in hijabs.
Jackson Powell
2hu was cute, but I think people didn't want to lewd her as much.
Thomas Ward
Gracie is basically a superset of the Libbie meme, or as I like to call her, Goat++.
Kayden Robinson
Comparing the archives, about 1/3 of the Libbs were of the lewd variety.
Jack Foster
The only thing I don't like about her design are her fingernails. Gloves would have worked fine with the outfit too.
Jason Peterson
That's Hijabholic!?
John Williams
No. His stuff is much uglier, I think he does everything in Inkscape.
Aaron Anderson
Got any samples?
Alexander Flores
His name is Rizky Djati Munggaran, and he uploads most of his shit to Instagram.
instagram.com
Gavin Bell
What a tragedy. He has a serious case of sameface, though.
Robert Bailey
Oh, he's the "nuns are the same thing as women who are forced to wear Hijabs" faggot.
Joseph Gray
Wasn't there a gif version of this?
Austin Nelson
Imagine booting up LibreOffice and seeing this faggot.
Lincoln Cruz
Bullshit. That's a fucking Neopet.
Kevin Edwards
The interesting thing is that none of us actually expected Libbie to win. But the fact that they drummed out two other good candidates is what got our bullshit detectors working.
Brody Sanders
Sir Birb didn't even get into the contest.
Jordan Moore
They claimed they didn't let him in because he was drawn perched on the logo, but pajeetguin had it on his fucking belly and he still made it into the finals. At least Libo's creator had the decency to dox himself.
Carter Wright
"what do you mean, stolen clip art? Isn't all art stolen? Isn't every other submission some recoloring of clip art? Isn't the clip art I used, itself, stolen from something else? You're asking me to be 'creative', but that's not really possible, is it? My creative work, which I am very proud of, involved the fill tool and a horizontal mirror. I used photoshop like a professional."
-- probably the pajeet's defense
John Green
The OctoJew also got to modify its design.
Jack Ramirez
Charles Ward
Fucking classic. And the LO design team actually posted that for everyone to see on their twatter.
Jack Adams
Speaking of (((social media))), here's some fag who bitched about how he was too professional to use any software with a cartoon mascot.
Juan Ramirez
This three image limit really hurts.
Nathaniel James
oh gosh! what word did those posters use? It must have been real bad
Parker Diaz
(checked) I remember that faggot. There were a few "professionals" who thought a mascot was childish for their office software. God I hate (((open source))) it sucks all the fun out of Free Software.
Mascots are for the community to channel some of their excess autism into something fun. It's not just marketing.
John Wright
Here's a five part sample of the average Libbie hater's life.
Connor King
Kayden Thompson
You could practically feel the man dying inside every time he posted.
Chase Sanders
I really miss when people could just have fun. Corporate culture is fucking cancer.
Carson Gonzalez
I wonder how /v/fag is doing these days.
Lincoln Hill
The KDE guys seem to be carrying on the whole Mascot tradition.
Tyler Jackson
It was just supposed to be a community mascot, not something to put on every splash screen and the front page of the project.3
And of course the self-proclaimed professional turns out to be just an insecure single manchild who wants to LARP as a grown-up. What a surprise.
This is the thing I'm talking about. KDE has their mascots nicely tucked away, no need to bombard visitors with cartoon dragons. But they are not ashamed of their mascots either, there is a time and place for everything. Only Krita is more forward with their mascot, but this is understandable for a creative application.
Evan Smith
How come there was little to no drama with Gentoo's mascot?
Carter Allen
Probably because they don't fellate pajeets.
Cameron Thomas
...
Bentley Johnson
I've surmised what happened with Libbie from the previous salt thread and this one, but I don't know many details. Any reading on this debacle out there?
Joseph Fisher
It depends on which one you're talking about. I know there's at two, maybe three of them that have consistently been in the Libbie threads.
Luis Smith
Larry is a pre-op trans-cow.
Here is a quick rundown: Libre Office holds a contest for a community mascot, and the usual submissions appear: vector art of owls and humming birds. Then Tyson Tan submits his own mascot, Libbie, complete with variations for different applications and event purposes. At this point it's no longer a competition, Libbie is hands-down the best submission with the most thought put into her.
Then all of the sudden LO change the rules slightly at the last moment and declare some recolored clipart of a penguin the winner. Tyson is very disappointed and people are angry about the rigged contest. LO quietly just pretends the contest never happened and hopes grass will grow over the whole story.
Meanwhile on Zig Forums people draw their own Libbie fanart, compile it into a package and send it to Tyson as a gift to cheer the poor guy up.
Michael Richardson
The state of /v/ is disgraceful. I can't stand to lurk anymore.
Anthony Jones
quick run down on this?
Connor Jenkins
There were four distinctive drawfags from the happening. Saifag, /v/fag, the artist that did Redmage Libbie and one other that did a handful of OCs. Lots of oneoff stuff too.
Liam Kelly
While I think sending him all the OC was good overall, Tyson seems pron to depression. Might be because of his job and having to deal with Chinese conformity bullshit.
Jonathan Mitchell
Triple dub-dubs!?
Isaac King
Cuckchan refugees, newfags and Marks worsening autism don't make a good recipe for a healthy board.
Brandon Roberts
Levi Adams
The archive is safe. It's the same one from the last thread. And there's nothing but image and video files in them, so I have no idea why you'd be getting these.
Evan Flores
well shit, I should have remembered that /v/fag was one of the drawfags
The files are fine, the anti-virus just flags it as suspicious because your anti-virus thinks the site is malicious.
Evan Cooper
Tyson's switched from Gnome to Plasma recently. Maybe it's stable enough to try now.
Ethan Cox
What is the bird from?
Hudson Martinez
Looks like they rebranded QupZilla.
Dylan Morris
Damn
Austin Watson
Firefox browser? It only happens once the file is downloaded.
Could you please upload to VirusTotal.com so we can see the results. (We can use the MD5sum to verify the same file; pomf clones can been hacked to deliver malicious payloads)
last thread link is giving the same alert.
Andrew Martinez
getting the same warnings on my anti-virus
Hudson Cooper
I downloaded the SFW one and it's just pngs inside
Angel Cox
I want a plush Libbie. I wouldn't want to own it, because that would be gay, I just want it to exist.
Falkon browser, formerly known as QupZilla.
falkon.org
qupzilla.com
Is anyone here using Falkon? I tried it, but performance is worse than FireFox and it doesn't display all of Zig Forums's features properly. The replies on posts don't show up and images open in new windows.
Juan Hill
Oh fuck yeah. It finally happened.
Have all of the drawfags basically moved on now?
Asher Watson
Some pics from the archive
Hunter Moore
/g/ couldn't get over a decade and some change of board culture when it comes to cute and marketable mascots. We could because Zig Forums and Zig Forums are different, culturally, than halfcuck and /g/.
Carter Peterson
Was it an old version of Falkon? The one that comes in 18.10 is pretty fast.
Brayden Price
Saifag is swamped in commissions. He did say he'd pop by.
Nicholas Powell
The thing that sticks with me the most is Tyson's email. Not only did we find out the guy's boss was basically an MS drone who tore up all the work he did making his workplace run on mostly F/OSS, but that the furfag community is INCREDIBLY Jewish and spiteful when you want to make high-quality stuff for free, since it devalues the the degenerate shit they're charging out the ass for:
Unfortunately, I've lost the pic of the email, anyone have it?
William Wood
Why is Maff so lewd?
Parker Taylor
She's like the other flavors, but more thicc.
Levi Peterson
Someone flagged the site as malicious, therefore the anti-virus/browser thinks every file from there is inherently dangerous.
Kayden Gray
I have it from FlatPak, see pic related. Shouldn't that be the latest version I have?
Tyson is too good for this world. Poor guy just wants to give something back to the projects he uses for free, and everyone likes cute mascots. Fucking furfags really do ruin everything.
William Williams
That's a pretty recent version. It's performing decently enough for me though.
Zachary Lee
It is usable of course, but when scrolling for example this thread Falcon is noticeably choppy while FireFox is buttery smooth.
Elijah Bailey
What hardware are you running?
Brody Edwards
Im still here just lurking around, just thinking to draw some Halloween libbie and kiki.
Give me idea what costumes should they wear, other drawfag can try it to.
Eli Murphy
Maybe Ellen Ripley or Jan Ors? I honestly don't have that many ideas.
Tyler Ross
Dont worry, other user can give their own idea. Im not in rush.
Also, be sure to give some image refer rather just name, it easier for drawfag to understand what requester want it look like.
Henry Cook
Right, amending that now.
Blake Hernandez
I mean, Maff libbs in some african tribal attire could be nice... Kiki would look good in a Chinese dress too, come to think about it.
