It would be a shame for this thread to die right when we're just figuring out the Peanuts Conspiracy. I'm on the Discord, and I'll do what I can to keep this going wherever we wind up. You guys have been great to chat with for years now, and I don't want to lose that. I think it's just in the last year or so that something has shifted on the SA forums and it feels more like a community than it has in a long time, to me at least. Maybe even ever. Something very special is going on on these dead forums and they should continue to exist. F Minus  Glower Power Mark Trail  Mary Worth  The Phantom  Man The Phantom has been awesome and crazy lately. Pooch Cafe  Popeye's Cartoon Club double post because I either missed yesterday's or it updated late.   Both of these are good. Rex Morgan MD  "Who wants more dirty dishwater?"

Another lurker reporting in to just say thanks you to everyone who's been posting old and new comics. As someone who did not grow up with them (except the classics like Calvin, Peanuts or Garfield) it has been interesting to read the mishmash of ages, stories and contexts being provided here. You guys do a really good job of livening up those stories, and I'd be sad if the thread stopped - but then again, I think I'd try to adapt to a new format. The forum news are just awful in every way and I feel a bit sick for supporting this state of things, truth be told. But I am sticking here, for now.

I really feel like the forums are at a pivot point just like America in general, something is about to happen. It won't be the status quo. It will either be a significant improvement in a lot of ways or it will be very very bad I hope we find another home that works like this place or new leadership

I got lured over here from a Sluggo is Lit banner ad months back because nuNancy had popped up on Twitter. I'm a long-time comic strip/webcomic guy and somehow had NO idea this thread existed. It was like some kind of kids book, opening a magic door and discovering a whole world of new people who looked and sounded like me. The whole forums are that way, really. It's amazing to pick up some random new interest, dig a bit and find a 5-year old, 10k-word OP written by someone with actual knowledge and interest in the topic, then thousands of posts on the topic. And at the end of THAT, every thread has a dozen people who know their poo poo and love answering questions. It's been my pleasure to have been one of those guys, from time to time, across a few threads.

If I had to pick only one thread on all SA to preserve it'd be this one. Right now I'm just hoping no plug gets pulled before I'm off work and can read my backlog of comics on a not-tiny-phone-screen...

Before/if this thing goes tits up I'd like to thank everyone posting comics over the years. Can't even remember why I started but I've been lurking these threads for ages and I've gotten a lot of enjoyment out of bad comics (and a few good ones). thanks for all the memories https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG1VIvldVJc

I haven't really posted in these threads very actively for ages, but just in case everything burns down I thought I'd say thanks to everyone who's ever posted comics or edits here - these megathreads have been some of the most fun I've ever had on the internet, so thank you all!

Potsticker posted:I'd be careful, the GDN bot had all its information leaked to nazis who used it to harass users. That was a different bot. They use the GDN bot in the Animal Crossing goons discord and haven't had any trouble with shitheads whatsoever. And I'm just another lurker of this and previous comic strip threads who felt the need to pipe up and say thank you all for years of awesome comic strip posting! It's one of my favorite threads on SA.

I'm cautiously optimistic SA will stick around without Lowtax. If not, it's been a good run. The early 2000s taught me that spin-offs of dead forums are pretty sad places to hang out, so I'll likely skip whatever gets set up. Thanks for all the comics and making this the best thread on this website. The Far Side Pickles  Zits

Johnny Walker posted:If you're saving invites to different ones chances are good they're all there. But then I don't see the BSS one there so I don't know. It's just a link I came across that I found handy. Ah, ok, thanks. Hopefully if the move there becomes totally inevitable that'll help me reconnect with other SA communities, it's just that here and the Early FPS Megathread are the two places I post the most so I saved them first.

Just wanted to join my fellow lurkers in thanking everyone who posted in this thread over the years. I've been following your comics & commentary for almost ten years now (!!!) and it's always been a highlight of my day. You all have been so generous with your time for the benefit of internet strangers like me and for that I'm so so grateful. Hopefully it'll continue in one form or another, but in the mean time I had to take this opportunity to say thank you and wish you all the best.

Still holding out hope for a good outcome for the forums (user takeover? viable offsite replacement?), but regardless of what happens this is as good a time as any to express my appreciation for this delightful little community. Thanks especially to all the people who do the tedious work of actually posting comics so cranks like me can show up and yell about them. Love you all.

I 100% am too stupid to figure this out myself but if anyone is interested in heroically backing up the comic strip threads here's a tool that was linked in the mod thread to be shared around:quote:Fumblemouse wrote on Jun 25, 2020 11:59: I know a lot of legitimately valuable archival work has been done in these threads and if we end up needing to migrate it might be good to have those safe and on hand.

At one point a Far Side caption got mixed up with a Dennis the Menace comic, which caused a pretty funny result in the latter, if I remember correctly.
