So we're agreed that the Top Ten is extraneous. Could just as well set up a Paypal account and have people pay for the priviledge of being there and use it to fund a series of Pinky TA action figures or paying Wowio to finish work on the site or producing the While You were Away: Drunk Duck Soap the Motion Picture or even just buying lots of hats.

Yeah I have sorta stopped going though the main page, and have a link set right to my contro panel. the important news comes though twitter, so I can check that at whim, and well thats the only thing that changes on the main page.
I hope they get some funds soon, or something, cos DD is a good community, and it is sad to see it stripped down to a skelerton crew of updating comics and forum posters

That's what "Quail's random" is supposed to do. Unfortunatly it also picks from every single comic in the vast sea of "Haven't updated in years" comics that we have here.

I'm guessing that would require programming to do anyway.

I would have to agree that community projects would be a great thing to put on the top 10.I wish I had more to say at the moment, but I'm still pondering.

It's cool to see Lite bites and Hero factor up there… but…
Hero factor isn't really a community comic, I did do a community aspect with it for a little while but that fell by the wayside . Perhaps heroes alliance would be a better choice.

Whoops! Haha, ok. I tried to double-check that and couldn't see any recent community stuff, but I wasn't sure, so… I'll change it to Heroes Alliance. :] Thanks for being a good sport.

If stuff doesn't work, I say it's because the various developers DD has had to work on the site have been building on a bad foundation. At some point, you just gotta bite teh bullet and scrap the broken bits for a better system. But alas, I've been grieving this site's code since 2006. >.>

Actually the current reason stuff doesn't work is because DD is now a site built on a brand new codebase, but development was halted before anything more than the basic features were finished.

I would argue that the basic features weren't even finished.

Ah, sorry I'm late to this thread. Thanks for putting the link to Heroes Alliance there! It's been steadily updating for a few years and shall continue to do so.
