So how do I find my rreally old comics? [solved]

Post by Shepherd »

Hi, all! I'm amazed my login from the Keenspace days still works.

I write Man-Man, which has been on its own URL since around 2004 or so, but went through a few years on KeenSpace back in the day, long before it was called Comic Genesis. The main page is still up -- manmancomics.comicsgenesis.com -- but the archive links don't work, and I can't suss out how to find the old strips.

ARE there old strips? If so, how can I see them? I think the artist has them archived somewhere in storage, but knowing how to get to 'em online would be helpful.

Thanks!

So I take it that you wrote Man-Man and someone else drew it and managed the site?

If the old pages are not on a publicly available page (like, there's no link to it but it's there) then they might be sitting in the account. You would need an FTP program and the username / password to the site. Without those, the only way to find them would be to get in contact with the artist and see if they still have a copy on their computer.

Fixed... for some reason there was an 'empty space' in the first comic's filename that prevented Autokeen from figuring out it was a comic.
