We have a lot of brand new functions on the Beta site that were recently implemented, all thanks to the hard work of our admin and our fellow Otakus who took the mantle of assistance seriously by providing suggestions, feedback, and helping test out these shiny new features we now get to enjoy on the site.
But before we head into the list, I’d also like to make an official announcement for our additional Chat Moderator — Tiotsh!
OS has survived many hurdles and tidal waves in the past, and the recent abundance of activities across both the main and beta sites, along with the growing activeness on Discord, prompted us to ask an active individual to assist the team.
And honestly, it was a no-brainer to choose Tiotsh — a high-count uploader, an active participant in the shoutbox, and a familiar face on Discord.
I hope you’ll continue to treat him nicely... or else. :)
Just kidding.
Now, onto the newly implemented cool features and fixes added to the Beta site:
1. Airing Today

And those are just the cool features — not even including all the fixes our beloved admin worked on throughout the month of April.
April has honestly been one of our most productive months yet, and seeing everything finally come together makes us even more excited for what’s ahead this May.
None of this would’ve been possible without a community that actively uses and participates in our site. This is a huge win for all of us.
Does it stop here?
Definitely not.
We still have more plans to execute and more features to provide. And of course, if you have any suggestions, comments, feedback, or ideas, please continue sharing them with us — we take all of them into consideration as we continue improving the site for everyone.
Please continue supporting our site and, as always...
