LOL you seem to be missing the main point and the one you won't address you asked for the quack!!! Then when I send it you try to rip me? The things that got changed because of us have made the site much better and to be fair they were things going on long before we got here. So ask yourself why did the changes all come when we started doing it? Not because we did it more then other people but because it scared a few mods who were worried we might use these practices to move onto the front page. Its not a fake conspiracy you hate us no need to sugar coat it. I'm sure your job is tough I'm not bitching to platinum or trying to get the villagers to storm the mods with pitchforks and torches I'm relating mine & Brandon's personal experiences.

P.S Has it really been since 2007 since we were the trouble makers? Damn maybe were just getting old.

Rofl just read through the thread, Skool being awesomeand sexy is nothing new ;) but i thought for sure slimredninja was some 15 year old spriter, and then…

You're saying that should be viewable for everyone? Because if so you have some serious problems, and I sincerely hope you never have children.

Although as that requires a human female mate, I don't think that's an issue.
I was born in 69
Live in Detroit Michigan
I once owned a comic store which is how I met darkchamber the uber artist.
Now I run a designated driver service where me and my partner take you home in your own car.
Im the kind of guy who cant help but make a funny comment about everything.I cant even watch a commercial with out making up funny dialouge over what their saying.
I have a 16 year old son named Andrew aka lurch 9944
My greatest love is comics and lurch of course.
Lol forever

If no one read my comic and it was just another cookie cutter badly drawn horribly written manga I would be angry to. So I forgive you. Go ahead and purge some of the bitter bile of failure from your system. At least you'll always have your cats.

Funny that wasn't the main point until I actually posted it. Before that, the main point was that there was some crazy conspiracy to keep you down (being wary of you is not a conspiracy in and of itself) and that I was rude, nasty, and unprofessional. In that PQ.

You know what's unprofessional? Not telling someone they've offended you when they have, which means they don't have a chance to apologize or set things right, and then bringing it up much later as evidence that your own lack of success is someone else's fault and not your own.

I wasn't aware I was experiencing a lack of success? Here I thought having the most page views we have ever had and moving back into the top ten were good things. Thanks for informing me otherwise. As for the ratings changes they did happen not crazy at all. I'll accept Ozone's explanation I don't think hes out to get us just you. Has anyone else seen the rankings change other then when they change about 2:30 am EST?

You know, this is all starting to feel like some elaborate troll just to get yourself more attention.

You're right, we made coding improvements specifically because YOU were massively exploiting the system, not because anyone else could have been doing so. YOU.

I'm going to call Platinum and ask them to set up a redirect so anyone who tries to visit your comics gets sent to mine instead. Muahahahaha. There will be an elaborate backend involving delivery of a separate main page to you to make you think you're on it, and you'll receive comments (which will appear on fake pages only you can see) which are constructed from fragments of other comments around the site. The pages and author comments you upload will actually be sent to 4chan where you will gather a massive following, more huge than anything you could imagine here, and you will NEVER EVEN KNOW IT. Then we will have tea and scones and laugh and laugh.


OK that's it. bedtime for me.

Never mind that i actually got featured and made it to #3, staying in the top 10 for months when i actually updated ;) Your poorly crafted insult and assumptions are the only things that have failed.

Edit: but i forgive you too, it's not your fault you're a 41 year old man coming off as a prepubescent spriter and the admin basically gave you a sugar-coated 'your comic sucked too much to feature'. My cats send their love~

You're the one who exploited the update bug so much (and admitted that you shouldn't have been doing it, though you tried to stand on "no one told me not to" that Volte had to code something which detects when someone is doing that and falsely sets their update date back and removes them from the 'newly updated' list.

…..What?
What's the bug? I've had this happen to me and I always figured someone else was removing me 'cos they didn't like me.

well thats what the A rating is for. and it's prolly better that adult comics don't get featured on the front page otherwise they might prompt some sort of puritan censorship backlash.

I am pretty sure the admins have bugged my phone.

I've thought sometimes there should be a whole separate portal for the A comics on DrunkDuck. Not to get them away from the other comics, but to give them the space to just do whatever and not feel like they're some kind of unfortunate subgroup of the regular site.

It would have its own adult site graphics and everything.

I believe the bug in reference is the one that used to allow people to update their comic and then delete the updated comic and update again so that their comic would stay in the most recently updated list.

Also, I like Skool's separate portal idea but I doubt it's gonna happen.

Posted at

Yes, that's the bug. The comic would also show up on the Favorites list as TODAY, and would send out the e-mail notices to people who had signed up for that. Then when they visited, there would only be old comics.

I think it still works to some degree, but usually it annoys the comic's readers and so people don't do it. Annoying your regular readers is something most people generally try not to do.

I haven't come across that then. I guess I just updated at a time that many other people did and I was quickly bumped off. It doesn't happen that often so I thought something was going on.

Hmm the quacks are starting to come in from others who skool monkee has wronged. I'm not going to post this persons name but Skool Monkee can confirm this is a quack I received. I also would warn her against posting the persons name in anger since he might want to remain anonymous. I just post this as proof that she is not always the nice person she appears to be when running with her popular kid cliques. If your not in her friends circle she tends to treat you very nastily.


Hey Slimredninja,
I was reading your posts in the forum and I wanted to say that you have my support. I used to run a adult comic on here and when somebody mentioned it in a thread, the mod Skoolmunkie returned replies such as "folks showing support for one of their favorite simple smut comics" and "If the retooling involves drawing the comics instead of just tracing naughty pictures, then you have my support". I had never made a comic before and was testing the water and my abilities.

Neither I thought were particularily nice comments from somebody maintaining and endevouring to promote/encourage a community of like minded artists. It is clear that admin-ship means steering the ship towards what she prefers.

Anyway, what I am trying to say is.. don't be like me and get totally pissed off and jack it all in, fight on brother :)

How am I supposed to confirm you've received a private message from someone? Admins don't have access to anything like that. And if you think he might want to remain anonymous, does he know you're posting his message here? He'd be quite easy to find with a google search.

Yeah yeah, I'm sure there are people on the site who have been, or at least think they have been, wronged by me. I'm not going to sit here while you try and take an accounting of all of them. I hope they come out of the woodwork and all PQ you that they think you're right. I really couldn't give a damn what people think about me, I have better things to do with my time and effort than worry that people on the internet don't like me. There's nothing about this job that says I have to be 100% sunshine all the time. I'm nice most of the time because I'm a nice person and I believe more is acheived that way. If I have a failing in that respect it's because it means that it's my own fault that I've made it so when I AM less than perfectly nice, people think I must hate them.

I'm still allowed to have opinions about a craft I love, and I am completely unwilling to take the blame for someone else packing it all in because I made a less than positive comment about a comic. You post stuff on the internet for people to see, you have to accept that some people are going to say something about it you don't like. Believe it or not, but I feel that sometimes supporting means offering criticism. I have nothing against smutty comics, but I'm not a fan of traced photos. Big deal. At the same time, he had a much greater number of people saying they DID like the comic (even one of the other admins), a number of people following the comic, and people had a little sig banner campaign going- so I don't know why my comment held so much more weight than all of theirs. I can't be held accountable for that kind of decision-making. I'm one person on the internet and no one else needs to give a damn about what I say either.

And, I'd like to point out that again, this is a case of someone NOT coming to me after I've inadvertantly hurt them, and instead just keeping it to themselves and only bringing it out much later when it's much too late for me to apologize, but it IS convenient for someone to use to try and make me look bad. I'm not going to be sorry about something that happened ages ago that apparently wasn't important enough to that person at the time to tell me that I'd hurt them. If someone thinks I've been a dick I'm more than happy for them to call me out on it right then and there. I am usually very apologetic in those situations and more than willing to admit I'm wrong. I'm not going to do the same thing if it's not brought up until six months later.


Lothar: haha, I do remember those! Oh man. Whatever did happen to them…?

Hmm let me think is it more likely that my page views just dropped by 4k for no special reason or could this have to do with Skool monkee & the mods punishing me? I checked my ad sources and most of them were delivering even better numbers then they usually do. Yet when I check them via my actual page they show far less. I'm sure it must be a coincidence and couldn't possibly have anything to do with my account being altered so that it only counts unique page views. So that no matter how many pages a visitor checks it only registers as one. Hey you know though that could just be the conspiracy theorist in me.

XD XD XD

That was really, really retarded. Yes, that's the conspiracy theorist in you. Admins cannot change that, you dingbat. No one can do that, it's not a feature. Pageviews are the ammount of times your page is loaded, so people reading your whole archive would give you the amount of pages you have on to your pageviews. There is no way to make it so that only unique viewers count.

You pageviews dropped because now only the intended audience can see it. Kids with Cat on Dog action fetishes can't view your comic anymore. But I'm sure if you just advertise it now as an adult comic, it'll get better viewers.

Oh! Here's an idea for a banner:
"*Image of a cat humping a dog* Morning Squirtz: Yes we have cats fucking dogs. Polish your pecker and click on this link!"

Seriously man, the mods can't change how many page views you get. Admins really don't have as much power as you think they do. If you genuinely think your page views are off, get a statcounter account.

Also, since your comic has been changed to an Adult rating, I'm pretty sure a user has to be signed in to drunkduck and older than 18 to be able to read it. So that would probably affect your pageviews, especially if many of your readers are coming from elsewhere.

Hey you know though that could just be the conspiracy theorist in me.

Yep.
