Hey, I know I guy - the three of us could get a little clique going.This could be just the unsavory-sounding opportunity I've been looking for, so long as everyone is dressed as Victorian era dandies.
Hah! You've become a new regular.
We love regulars ^_^
Yeah, that's exactly it. Since forums always have groups, it doesn't make sense to think that way, but it doesn't mean the general feeling of awkwardness doesn't persist for a while even if a place is friendly. There must be other people like that who lurk, think about things to say, and never say anything.I can't tell you how many times I type out a lengthy and carefully constructed post and as I go to hit "Send" I stop and decide to X out my browser instead. I still do that. It isn't just a newbie thing.
o_0 !
I want in on that!

You may not be trying to get some income from your comics, but lots of other people do- through ads, donations, cafepress stuff, etc. With less disposable income I imagine 'support my favorite webcomics' becomes drastically less important than 'make sure I don't go hungry'. It would be interesting to see a graph of average ad cost on project wonderful over time, or something. I bet there's just not as much money in the system as there was a year ago.The economy thing is interesting. I wonder how many people are finding out that comics just don't pay?That wasn't want I meant. I'm not doing my comic here for an income. My comic is a hobby and I don't have time or money for hobbies right now. I either need to be at my day job, or getting new skills for my next day job.
I think more of us are in that predicament with less time for our art.
Ha! I don't discard thread replies for that reason. I just see that I write too much or see that it's needlessly negative so I decide ultimately that the forums are better off without those contributions of mine. :)I do that too. Other reasons I decide not to post: I wasn't really saying much or adding anything.
I made the forums my homepage months ago, it became routine and now i check through several times a day for new thread posts. So don't worry Hyena you'll never get as lame as me :) god help you if you are.
Plus i recently started setting up a site with wordpress, and even despite the hurdles learning it, it's clear to see why people leave free hosting forever. For one thing:
1. you don't have to scroll down that ugly DD top bar w/ ads to see the comic page
2.it's empowering to have your own site you can do anything you desire to
3.Widgets!
4. you feel more…'professional'
Cons:
1. you have to pay for it
2.no community like DD :(
I'll need to make at least 3$ a week off ads (once i update again) so i can pay for hosting and have some left over for advertising
