Hello Internet people.

Did you miss me?
I bet you didn't even notice I was gone…

If I pronounce myself internetpope, would you all worship me?

Yeah, I was wondering where you went.

Nope, Already sold my soul. :D

Salsa

WORSHIP ME, DAMMIT!

I´m sorry I had to leave, I had to get some cigarettes and… Well…
Your internet mom and me had some trouble…

I'm so bored that random thoughts enter my heads. And after watching too many knockoff console videos on YouTube (Doctor Ashen is so funny doing his reviews of the things) I just had a thought of another knockoff…

It was called the AussieBox KiWii. Guess the origins of the companies it comes from? :)

The console itself would look like a PS3, only it's a lot smaller, has a power button like an X-Box but shaped in a triangle and a glowing cartdrige input rather than a DVD tray. The controller looks kinda like a popsicle… with the “stick” being like a Wiimote but the top being a mishmash of the X-Box 360 and the PS3 controllers. It advertises that the system can be used with or without the XBPS KiWiiMote as it has sensors around the input of the console itself. The cartdrige itself would actually be a CD drive with a MiniDisc inside making for some very expensive games…

Among the games it sports would be a beer drinking game, a game where you save koalas, kiwis, and kangaroos from evil American poachers, a wierd game where you have to pickpocket as many wealthy people as you can without getting caught (Solid Snake Style), and yet another where you run for the Presidential office to prevent an ultra conservative politician from taking that office and dooming the country to a miserable boring existence…

Okay. I'm out of my coffee induced trance now. My cup ran out. Time to brew some more… :)

On the other hand, I wouldn't mind buying the British made Pandora, which is an entire Linux PC stuffed into a handheld and can play emulator games. Too bad the price is more than I can handle… $500 U.S. O_O

That awkward moment when you make a Comicfury account and go onto the forum to introduce yourself and then about 10 DDer's say: “WELL HAI THAR!”

Hahaha I didn't realise there were quite so many DDers on Comicfury…

I think the DD migration is now half the forum userbase over there, or at least getting close to it.

god this comic page turned out shitty. Honestly the whole little part is kind of stupid and i'm wondering if I should scrap it before i end up re-drawing redrawn pages. Q_Q

Yes, and I'm still finding them. I just saw Product Placement on there too.

I… I have no idea what you're talking about.

-Hides incriminating evidence-

wow… what's with all the migration. I know ducks have to migrate for one reason or another, but does that include Drunk Ducks???

Well… if you see “me” over there, be careful. He/she/it might just be a fake…

Lovely… the earth just shook under my feet…

Lovely… the earth just shook under my feet…

And we never heard from Lonnehart, ever again.

*Sniff* He was too good for this world. :'(

EDIT:

I keep finding DD users, I just saw Hippie Van as the Newest Member and was like: “Yes YES the invasion is almost complete.”

I'm still here. I managed to get that volcano that's supposedly dormant under my feet to stay dormant. In all seriousness though there IS an active volcano north of me. However it's not usually violent, just really REALLY SMOKY.

Gotta love the world of song synthesizers. Soon as someone makes up a really nice catchy tune for Miku Hatsune or Teto Kasane or any of their fellow voice synths, other voice synths (unofficial ones created by fans) will follow in their wake by imitating their songs. Pretty wild…

Well, time to get back to learning to draw with a mouse. While I had planned on getting back into comics this month the loss of my tablet due to malfunction has set me back. I was able to find a store that sells genuine Wacom tablets… they're apparently called the Bamboo tablets. I hope they're not so sharp that they'll put holes in my hands as I draw… bad experience with real bamboo will do that to you…

Drunken waterfowl migrate all the time. Ever see some of them fly? Look at any formation of migrating waterfowl and there's always a couple that are way off because they've had a few.

Birds are exempt from all laws regarding drinking and flying.

When someone as meaningless as me signs onto Comic Fury you know it's serious.

Shhh!

I made an account but I'm still waiting to see what happens.

I just got smoothie ALL over everything. -_- I was using a handheld blender and forgot to hold onto the bottom bit, so the thing spun around in a circle, spewing smoothie everywhere. Including on me.
Fortunately, the smoothie turned out pretty good after I cleaned everything up.

I for one will NEVER EVER be going to another host. ESPECIALLY not comic fury!

“Oooh, neat! I can set the date and time down to the minute I want my upload to occur!”

Why are women naturally good at PSYOPS?

Thats why I just… had it with getting into relationships with them. Once your mind has been compromised by sex and affection, your life would start to revolve around her. Then you turn into a pussycat and into her little man-slave. And when you turn into a pussycat or her man-slave, the more she will despise you and eventually she will go to a man with strength… or has at least the perceived illusion of strength. lol!

Saw that happen over and over and over again. Almost happened to me recently. Caught all her psyops and exposed it to her in a polite calm manner and by just that… it was HER who ended up getting mental anguish… simply because I told her Im aware of her mind games and explained it in detail. She cried mental abuse. Hahaha. When all else fails, play the victim. You think I didnt see through that? I spent hundreds of hours studying psychology and learning all about NLP, hypnotism, and all of that and you think your psyops gonna work on me?!?

Stupid biatch. lol

I may not be happy about some of the things regarding the new Duck (raw html editing) But I am not gonna pull up stumps and go off somewhere else.
I love the Duck, and the feel of its community. Getting feedback and even just ^5s from readers is a real good thing (thats what the vote things are, High five acknowledgements from readers!)
I also have far to many pages to go around putting them up willy nilly on other sites. I looked at wevolt or whatever, but the thought of hundreds of updates just made me cringe.

Long live the Duck… and give us HTML editing!

That definitely had to become a “someone” quote, because no one here is “meaningless”.

I had to go look at comicfury just to see, and there were a lot of DDers I could recognize when I still don’t really know that many to begin with.

Can’t help but feel sad about it. As always, I wish everyone the best, whether it's here or elsewhere, and I imagine that just because people have accounts at multiple places it doesn’t mean they’re abandoning DD. Or rather, tD?

I’ll be here. With my bottle (who am I kidding? Bottles) and I’ll keep one in reserve for those who want to join me.

But, and here’s the truth, comicfury does upload quickly. Honestly, wasn’t that essentially the big change most DDers wanted from DD in the first place? that and no more crashing? Now there’s all this raz.

I know this great forum, with great community, and 99% of the users are drunk duck users. but no one really cares.

Sometimes i just wish there was a magical “body fixed” machine. I am to build up my exercises 1 at a time, and then the doctor will react to what kills my shoulder. It all does. I've stated i've done this before. and it all messes it up. oh well.

Websites and forums are not something anyone should be loyal to one way or the other. It's like being a “loyal” S-mart shopper as opposed to K-mart or Wal-mart. Which store has the best selection and price for what I am looking for today?

To me it don't matter one way or another. I've already fought in wars between competing forums and they're childish, stupid but they're also entertaining.

And I without meaning as far as being a member of any forum is concerned.

No one of consequence; C'est moi! And masks are very comfortable too.

Masks? I don't know if they're comfortable, but sometimes they help keep worlds from colliding.

I totally agree that people have to go where they need/want to go. And I can't claim that this squabble about DD > tD > keeping content provider control > etc, etc., is all that has brought on a certain melancholy for me.

I, however, will go out of my way, and sometimes even spend a dollar more than I have to if I like the people at a certain store. I admit to playing favorites at times.

I'm here, first, because of the community and then the comics. Most people are probably reversed on that. and this whole upheaval nonsense has made me realize that what little drawing talent I have only happens when I'm in a content place. right now, I have no desire to draw.

but yes, life is about change. and weathering the storms. or sometimes just drifting away without fanfare. yadda, Yoda. no argument.

I'll admit that I made a ComicFury account. I'll admit that CF will probably be the main site with DD being the mirror for any comics I may start. I won't be leaving though. The people are cool, I like the friends I've made here (you guys are my friends right?), and I like several of the comics here. If everyone leaves and takes their comics with them, then I'll leave, but until that happens I'll stay.

Oh and I just got a hold of a couple of missile destroyers in Homeworld. Muahahahahaha, come here little scouts, Uncle Salsa's got a special treat for yooooOOOOooooouuuuu.

It's true - the DD community was always the best part about the site. And now they are the best part about the other site! (If you don't count the other equally great parts).

Only true if you don't think about friends and community, like Ayes says.

I remember the real big issue DD had in its history, the biggest:
Back in the end of 2005/start of 2006 when the site was wiped away totally. There was no backup then… The site had already been frozen for a few months before with no ability to update comics at all. All we had was a forum, that's all.
Then after the site was totally wiped, again there was the forum- first ting to come back.
Volte6 said he didn't have the heart to start again. He was devastated. He'd have to start from scratch because ALL his code was gone.
All us DD creators came back to the forums, we all posted about where we were hosting off-site, most of us were self hosting then… But our community used the forum to stay in touch, it was quite beautiful. :)

With enough of us there though and all the encouragement we gave him, Volte6 took heart and decided to start again- and so DD has continued without ever suffering anything as massive as that again. That's right, with all the issues, bugs and problems we've had since, nothing compares to the fall of 05-06. That recent event might have if Lawrence hadn't been there to heroically save us, but because of him, it didn't.

Anyway, yeah, even if it ends up with only 5 or 6 active members on the DD forums, the site will still carry on and probably snowball again with more new people… and sometimes even older members who return.

It's probably because the negative connotation DD carries throughout the webcomic community is finally starting to make sense to people here. Man, I jumped ship before it was cool.

I find it funny that the Drunkduck rant thread is talking about comicfury while the comicfury rants thread talks about drunkduck. :P

Man, I jumped ship before it was cool.

And yet…? This isn't Comic Fury ya know ;)

There ARE other hosts you know- Comic Genesis, Wevolt, Spider Forest, Comic Dish, Comic Domination, Webcomics nation, ComicSpace… and more.

It's a fact of life, I think. Sometimes people need to spread their wings, see new places, meet new people. Some eventually come back though, having missed the comforts of home. :)

I'm bored.

Comic Genesis: Are they still using the same sign up from 1999? Where you have to wait a week for the email link to manually be sent to you?

Wevolt: *snrk* hahahaha.

Spider Forest: More of a collective, invite/submission only.

Comic Dish: totally ballz. dont go their.

Comic Domination: I haven't heard of this one… But then I haven't been host hunting lately.

Webcomics nation: They've been around a while, but they were difficult to set up on and configure the last I tried them.

ComicSpace: Isn't that just loaded with spam now?

Yeah, I'm just using CF for a mirror, its good, but not overly great. I actually like Drunkduck a whooooole lot more, but I was just mentioning that were was an awful lot of people I recognised from the forums here, which was cool, I wasn't trying to start any problems about it.

Though if push came to shove, I'd probably still choose DD because I love the community here and the whole interaction between users and the admins in things such as the Quackcast and community projects like Ayes' Radio Play (How is that going by the way?)

What I like about it is the guy who runs the show is right there, always tinkering with the site and open to suggestions. I mentioned something to him once and an hour or so later it was coded. It's the absolute antithesis of what we're undergoing now - more like DrunkDuck used to be in the days Ozone was describing above I imagine.
