Comic Genesis Forums

I agree -- actually, the new site actually implements a lot of the features that the haters were complaining about, for example putting HO in it's own section. Indeed. And it's interesting that Mr. Hayes himself denigrated those selfsame changes as needless at best, or contrary to his faith and bel...

How interesting.

Strange, that each comic, including Onions, is given it's own seperate gallery. My, but that's a clever idea.

Sarcasm aside, I agree, it looks reasonably well done. I may even start reading again...

... Nnnnnnnnah.

[sarcasm]thanks for your vote of confidence there[/sarcasm] It appears, from a post on the other board, that Mr. Hayes has moved his comics and generated new boards. That has rendered this discussion moot, and if Mr. Hayes is no longer using Keen/CG's services, there is no reason to maintain, let a...

I'm glad we agree on this point, at least.

Mr. Seltek: The politics involved had nothing to do with the ban. The primary difficulty stemmed from an overuse of the delete function, which, in this bulletin board system, tended to cause cascading errors in the system. This and the other two comic boards are only three out of a couple of hundred...

Arguably, EVERYONE on this board could fail requirement #2. Including you, and including me. It just depends who's judging the requirements. Noted, and quoted. Mr. Hayes' comics are heavily polarized both religiously and politcally, and because of that, this board is populated by readers who are al...

Actually, its not. You have no porfessional critera to criticize him. I don't? I pointed out how I make a significant portion of my living in a manner no different than how many successful webcomics do; by selling ads on a website visited by readers on a regular basis. Schlock Mercenary, Goats, Som...

How many of you run comics? Hmm? How many of you are authors of webcomics, however well-known or anonymous they may be? You criticize the man for not listening to your advice, yet I wonder by what authority you give it to him. Mr. Hayes said as much in one of the locked threads. To paraphrase, "If ...

I joined only a few weeks ago, just after Mr. Hayes posted the second Onions strip. I have not visited the other forums, but in here, when I joined, there was at least one already-locked political thread, and no fewer than three multi-page religious or political threads running. In the two weeks or ...

Thirty percent of that thread was deleted prior to being locked, including one of Mr. Hayes' own, and he seletively edited the other two after the lock. The "whole story" has a rather different feel. ~ fin . Edit : I should also point out that Mr. Kurtz himself admits that his self-described "asshol...

Indeed. While Questor is the least overtly political, and it's references to religion have been mild and nonconfrontational, the other two quite regularly bring up topics both religious and political in nature, and last I read any of them, they'd been subverted entirely on at least two occasions wit...

I would get up every morning, go online, and instead of simply locking off-topic threads I would foolishly spend several hours trying to "debate" with people who simply repeated the same long-refuted arguments over again. In almost every forum and bulletin board I'm a member of, from photography to...

Possible. Mr. Hayes deleted at least two of my posts in that thread. But he deleted at least one other thread that I had posted in, in it's entirety, and at least one other still, that I did not. It was my impression that the ban was not due to any one particular thread, but a series of them, couple...

I think it was referring to 34ing(making porn) his works for people. Ah, I see. Though I don't recall that being mentioned, presumably it had either been proposed before, or was in one of the deleted threads. I didn't mention it, and I didn't see TheJAM or others do so either. Yes, that would be a ...

By that agruement you shouldn't have expected anything but harshness in reply yourself. Did I at any point say I didn't? Point in fact, I fully expected any reply to be abrasive and confrontational, and I was not disappointed. However, I did sort of expect an actual reply; whether he pointed out th...

Indeed. Except that reading Mr. Hayes' posts and LiveJournal entries didn't, and don't, exactly give the impression of a sensitive, caring individual deserving of flowery praise and false kindness. Mr. Hayes own manner is brusque, abrasive and confontational, and I, perhaps unintentionally, adopted ...

And that's the part I simply don't understand. It seems the opinion is that my suggestions (primarily: Cleaning the archives, making a regular posting schedule for all three strips, and putting the "off topic" strips in their own gallery or even site) would somehow require a change of faith, or to c...

Voted "No". And before anyone asks, since I was one of those referred to as a "troll", no, I didn't complain. I'm sure Stredwolf can concur. But it was painfully clear Mr. Hayes was overstepping both forum rules and simple forum etiquette in selectively editing, locking or deleting anything that was...

What I meant was that I had no way of knowing if a particular cameo was a paid one, or just a friend of Mr. Hayes' thrown in for fun. Yes, last I read Tuck , there were a wide array of "new" characters that were clearly cameos (given that they weren't necessarily "introduced", it was assumed that ev...
