Thread "Why Did You Choose Drunk Duck to Host Your Comic?" in forum "Meet, Greet, Show and Sell*"

Posted at 2:02PM, Feb. 28, 2007

I joined DD mainly because it's free, but after using the service I've found it extremely user-friendly and yes, as a lot of other people have mentioned, there is a great sense of being part of a huge, friendly community. Would I use it if I were to start all over - HELL YEAH! Course I would. Bit of a no-brainer there!

Its free, and its an awesome community….

The community!

I was on SJ for a few weeks, but people weren't very supportive. My interest dwindled.. D:

Chatted with some artists at NY ComicCon and they said this was good place to see emerging graphic novel stories…just signed up with our latest project called….

Mobile Pornography….

[[[Edit>> we appreciate that you use the Duck for your comic needs, but this is not the thread to plug it. Go check out the "Hey, Look What I did" forum to plug your own work. Thanks]]]

I can't remember exactly how I first came across Drunk Duck, or should I say WHY I did. I know that it was through Google, but can't remember what I was actually searching for.

Anyway, after a while of reading people's comics, I really wanted to make my own. So I did. Not a great one, but it keeps me busy when I should be doing other things! Muhaha!

Drunk Duck is free, easy to use, well laid-out, and just feels right! (Very stirring, don't you think?)

Having tried keenspace, and also having tried the self-host route, I was desperately in need of something easy but awesome. I only came across drunkduck yesterday, but already I'm loving it.

I posted my comics on here because it was previously on tripod, but that was a pain in the butt and no one respects tripod, so I came here. The system is a lot easier to use and DD is probably a lot more respected.

I guess my reason was the chance to get noticed. I could start a classic website as well, but who the hell would read my comic then? With no money paid for ads?

Now I see I kinda overestimated it, but still someone entered my site. That's good.

Why particulary Drunk Duck? It has a catchy name. Someone gave me a list of such servises and I remembered this one.

Well, soon I'll have my own site for my comics but I like the community aspect of here so I'll just post my comics here and on my site.

Also (besides ComicSpace, eck) this is the 1st Webcomic Community I came across :P

Posted at 10:03PM, Mar. 18, 2007

DD was recommended to me by a fellow Webcomicker. and like other have said this site is user friendly, easy to set up with, and the community seems to be a lot tighter.

I have a mirror site that is a) "presdidgious" all applicants must be selected to be a part of the community, b) you must know your own HTML, be able to upload through a SMS kind of loader…overall it was a huge headache.

I like the point and click, HTML for dummies, upload with a button, plus all the friendly people here to help out!

If I had to do it over again? Heck yeah I'd stick with this…

i found a link to it on www.giantitp.com message boards and decided to sign up. i'm glad i did cause people seem to like my comic and i get more feedback here than i did on www.giantitp.com message boards. also the community has been very nice and helpful. thanks for reading and helping me out. :) you guys rock.

I chose DD in addition to SJ because i like to have multiple places to host my comic ^^

Posted at 6:03PM, Mar. 22, 2007

I have a site with my comic already at http://www.bymagic.com, but I wanted more exposure for it. I belong to comicspace (http://www.comicspace.com) and heard good things from the people there about Drunk Duck, plus comicgenesis gave me a head ache trying to use it.

Also, I'm a technique junkie and I love hearing about how other artists do their work, and this looked like a really good place to discuss creating comics with other people who love comics.

i had a comic up here called comatosis.

Then all of a sudden someone forgot to pay the bill and the site went down along with the webcomic hosting code thingy..

I went underground.

and there was talk about it never returning to free hosting anymore =(

i went more sad since i love making comics and DD is very Sweet Motivation as people actually read the comic you post and update.

anyho reason why i pick it was casue i found it the only free comic host wich i knew of anyho at the time and i came back here and saw it was back to life but better.

and i had also started a new comic wich is up here only on the 3 page but it takes a while to update putting into account the effort.

I was trying to look for a new place to put comics because Smack Jeeves was so rescricting. But then Smack Jeeves lost it's server so I guess that finally gave me the motivation to leave and come here. And I'm glad that I did make the switch.

Hehe well it all started with a webcomic called "Tsunami Channel" (forgot how I found it) whom started drawing contest but you needed to sign up to a fourm called Ponju (2003). On the forum were places for comic's to have their own forums & discussions.

One of the comics I started reading was Eunice's "Ghost Hunters" (started reading long time ago). One day I notice they were coming up with another comic "I come from Mars", which was hosted by Drunk Duck. For the longest time I just only read that comic until one day I found out there was MANY MANY MANY comics on the main page lol .

I started reading comics mostly at work to help the time go by. Took some time but I opened up an account. It wasn't until around December 2006 until I started posting my own comic. And here I am today :) still learning to draw and I love reading peoples comics

I think it's awesome they host your comics for free

Posted at 7:04AM, Apr. 2, 2007

I asked over at Digital Webbing what hosts they recommended, and this one was mentioned the most. I like it so far.

Posted at 11:04PM, Apr. 6, 2007

I'm new here, so I know pretty well why. Mostly because it's free, and plenty of us computer geeks come to this site. I considered trying to run to have a fancomic on
B&G once, but that was one of my stupider ideas(which is really saying something.) It's like a dream come true to come here. I regret my choice not at all.

Posted at 9:04PM, Apr. 9, 2007

Hi I am a new comic story writer. I decided too do one on here because my friend slander Q. said the site was alright. Please cheak out my comic and give me some feedback on how I am doing.

Posted at 10:04PM, Apr. 13, 2007

I joined DrunkDuck because of the great connection with the community. I found it because of this great comic, Rainbow Carousel.

Posted at 8:04AM, Apr. 14, 2007

I used to host my comics at (don't laugh) thOtaku.com. I only used it because my girlfriend does, I swear! Anyway, I got sick of all the Naruto fanart/ gay porn (shounen-ai, yeah right…). Seriously, that's all it had. Besides, my comic didn't really fit the atmosphere of tO (read: I didn't insert Japanese into every other phrase). So, I decided to get a new host. DrunkDuck was really the first thing that came to mind. And so far, me likey.

Posted at 6:04PM, Apr. 14, 2007

Makhnovista and I wanted to start a webcomic ages ago, but didn't know how.

A week ago, he told me to sign up here with him and start uploading comics to Ba Ba.

Now we have about a month's worth of stuff worked out, and I feel all professional and such ^^

Posted at 2:04PM, Apr. 16, 2007

I chose Drunk Duck because I could understand the interface and the process of creating and uploading a comic to the site at first glance. It's really simple for schmucks like me who are too lazy to learn how to do all the coding themselves, but it still offers options and looks good.

Also, the more I delve into the community via the forums the more I believe that I made the right choice.
