Thanks for the card Drunk Duck
It's spam. All I saw it as was a bunch of links to comics that already get a large helping hand from the site as it is. Placing "Merry Christmas" next to it doesn't change the fact that it's still just links to comics. Holiday spam, sure, but spam none-the-less.
But really, I'm obviously the only one who thinks that. Big deal, right?
I was offended, despite the fact that it certainly wasn't the intention of the staff/artist.
Out of curiousity…would it make a difference to any of you if an individual sent you that card?
Because I send my Christmas greetings that way last year. I had a lot of people I wanted to wish a Merry Christmas and instead of sitting there for 3 hours picking out e-cards for everyone, I drew something, made two versions of it, and sent it off to everyone.
These were mostly people I hadn't really talked to for a while but I had wanted to drop in to say hi and send them warm wishes.
I guess I'm more forgiving. I know that the intention was there so being offended wasn't even on my mind. It would have been simpler for them to just type out MERRY CHRISTMAS on the front page and be done with it but instead they went through the trouble of making a card. I thought it was a nice gesture on their part.
If it were from anyone else? Yes, I would be just as equally offended. I detest spam, even if it's cheerful. Hell, half the spam I get offers me cash and physical enhancements, but that doesn't comfort me any more than saying "merry X-Mas, read our comics!". Spam is spam is spam. I just don't like it. Sorry.
I know that wasn't the intent of the PQ, I understand that, but for me (and seemingly only me), that was the result. I'm sorry my sensibilities to advertising is weaker than others, but that's just how I feel.
lefarce, believe me, there's nothing I'd like more than to exclude you from this sort of stuff ;) I'll try and remember in the future, but no guarentees. Now lets just keep this on topic and respectfully remember that it's a thank you thread to DrunkDuck, the staff, and of course Cindermain.
Hey everyone else, you're welcome! It was nice to be able to send out something specially crafted this year to all you guys who make the site great! Cindermain did an awesome job I think! I hope he does more stuff with us in the future!!! I always like stuff that has characters from lots of different comics in one!
yeah, it was really nice! And shiny!
And it wasn't "spam". Sure, it had links to those comics, but that was because it used their characters; it wasn't in a devious attempt to advertise those specific comics. I think lefarce just wanted his/her comic in there ;);)
happy holidays! ^_^
I'll have to admit… The card was cute, and very thoughtfull. I wouldn't think that anyne in their right mind would take the time out of their day to do something like that… Even thoug the card did suport alot of major comics on this site. It would be nice to see that sort of thing change, but I guess they have earned their rights. Sorry, I'm not tring to be a pain in the butt, but it would be nice to see suport the massive amount of other comics that may not get as much love… Unless of course there was some sort of forum thread about it, and those were the only people who had put forth the effert.
I thought the card was neat. Really very well done.
Of course, when I was asked what I thought should be on the card, I suggested to use the most popular characters on Drunk Duck - figuring that the most recognizable characters interacting with the Duck would be the best way to convey DD's community without making the artist spend the next year trying to include a character from EVERY comic - since that might make the card late. So blame me for that if you wish.
