I just can't imagine printed Comics ever going away completely. The act of possessing a physical object is a huge part of collecting as opposed to just reading. You can't collect digital images, can you?

Wow, OJ's wild ride was 20 years ago?? Sheesh.

I want to take a moment to share some positive news.

After a prolonged pm debate with a mod at the new CBR, one of the higher-ups (I don't know which) apparently stepped in and decreed that I am allowed to continue to advertise for the CCF over there in my signature space.

That may not seem like much to those of you who have had some very negative experiences over there as of late, but it shows that someone at CBR is aware of our community and respects it. Up to this point, we've been operating without any knowledge of what CBR thought of our new home and whether there might be troubles in the future if, for example, we attempted to quote from an old post that was technically CBR's property. For the moment, we appear to be in good-standing and, considering how frequently bannings have been occurring as of late with no questions asked, the fact that a higher up explicitly stepped in to defend us really says something.


This is not an invitation to get into a huge discussion/rant about how CBR has changed, once again, and it's not an expectation to begin universally praising the site either. It's an acknowledgement that they acknowledge and respect us. And since we now know they've been checking out this forum, I think that makes it more important than ever that we not fall into Anti-CBR rants. Let's remain in good-standing with them.

Thanks, everyone, for being a community that's worthy of such respect.
