Oooh, that does seem awfully nice - have you used them? Are they as good as they claim?

I haven't yet, but I plan to once I actually get something worth making a website for. I think I know some sites that use it and work well but I don't remember which ones. My recommendation is to use it, and it will probably work, but keep backups on your hard drive just in case.

I must say, voting "No, you belong to us" just to be funny is rather tempting (I didn't, though).  It'd be cool.

Well, the majority opinion is clearly, well... clear. :P
Now I'm gonna have to actually build one. Durn.

I can feel the fear of responsibility slowly creeping up my clavicle... but then, I knew what I was getting into when I started this thing, I knew where it might go...

Okay, well expect at some point in the future (next two weeks, hopefully) to see the new website go up. It will be called...

DUN DUN DUN

Choose Your Own Doom, as suggested by Sensei.

This particular adventures name will be revealed later.  Which means, yes... there will eventually be other suggestion based comics on the site.

Maybe. I'm beginning to suspect I may hate myself. Luckily, as long as I think people are watching I will diligently dig myself ever deeper into the pit of awful responsibility. So except for the website thing and the name of the site, nothing else is even close to guaranteed. Except that I will, one way or another, finish DFA.

Okay, anyone have any ideas for the new poll? Or things to talk... I know! You should all start speccing stuff. Come up with good ideas I can use in the comic long term, but aren't neccesarily comic suggestions!

I'm in possession of a web server due to school, and when I fix my disk quota problems it shouldn't be a problem, I think.. I hope.
Right now I get an error whenever I go above 200MB, my teacher tells me the limit is actually 2GB, so there's a small problem right now, need to fix it first =/

A .tk extension should do fine I hope, the name of the server is a bit long >.<

Mm.. If you allow me to do the basic programming for the site I would have a valid excuse as soon as the teachers find out the bandwidth :p
Can't do JavaScript though, HTML, CSS, PHP and MySQL are what we've learned so far, but you can supply any graphics and of course a template :)

...
Well, if you want, and if I can get my server up and running to it's full potential instead of 200MB >.<

I'm more than happy to be your "donate a site" web practice if you want to whip one up for me. ^_^

I'll send you some graphics soon.

Someone wanted to know what I meant by Fallout Online.

Well, specifically, I was referring to the new Fallout 2238 Open Beta, which is like a Fallout MMORPG. It's pretty damn harsh, but super fun despite the lag that made battles almost impossible yesterday. If you like fallout, you owe it to yourself to check it out. There's more details in the Fonline thread in the gaming forum, so check out there if you're interested.

Also, FYI, something sinister is afoot in the land of Mr. Burnwound, folks! Mwahaha.

Odd question, but I don't suppose you could throw together an ersatz press kit? I'm a dabbling web developer/designer, so even if you don't accept it (or if I'm too lazy XD), drafting a design would be a great exercise. Plus, if anyone else wants to get in on the hot, designing action, they'd have some place to start. So if it's not too much trouble ... pretty please?

Actually, the page is set to view the "current" comic... and since I'm still going through the archives working out bugs as I go along, I havent yet set up the current comic - so it shows nothing. :P
