Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I don't. Altavista was OK, I liked Northern Lights a lot, but I hated having to use Lycos, Dogpile, Ask Jeeves, hot something, etc. just to get the basic answers to things and even then whatever geocities webring I stumbled upon (I do miss that service) was probably wrong. Wikipedia either didn't exist or was really terrible back then too.
Forums were cool, IRC, usenet, but modern search engines, Web 2.0, and bit torrent made life soooo much easier. I never want to have to use a download manager for ftp/http downloads again. RSS was cool but a little later. Reddit style nested threads are also a game changer.
