How is CG?

How is CG? I was thinking of making a webcomic and read that CG was a good free hosting site(Since free is all I can afford). Is it?

It's not bad. I've been satisfied with it's free services for several years now.

The only thing I've really heard people complain about is that they can't advertise with other advertisers; but honestly, unless you are at the point where you're one of the notables in webcomics, that doesn't much matter.

The support is mostly volunteer - our admins are paid so little it's probably criminal. But we're a good group of volunteers as any you'll find in the help center.

Community-wise, we are a touch insular. But we warm up to new people pretty quickly so long as you've got moderately thick skin and a good sense of humor.

Welcome to CG!

CG is awesome. I haven't really tried that many comic hosts, but it provides everything I need.

Comic Genesis is awesome. Not that I've been anywhere else, but the fact that I haven't needed to go anywhere else speaks for itself.

It's better if you boil it first, drain the water, and then add the flavour packet.

I like to add an egg to mine.

It's a good stepping stone to take your first step from.

It's also not a bad place to camp if you decide you don't want to step anywhere else too.

It suited me for the first few years. Now I wander back just to keep tabs on the place.

Most people try it for a day or two then disappear entirely. I'm not convinced there's not a Bermuda-like Triangle in Off-Topic somewhere.

That would explain those UFOs I keep seeing.

I thought War was responsible for that...

HA! I did that too. I'd crack it in there and stir fry it like fried rice.

Or like Pad Thai. Damn it, now I'm hungry.

For me, it was either hosting my comic on Geocities or Keenspace (what CG used to be called). Keenspace won out.

More space and site automation...I can't see how THAT swayed your opinion at all...

CG is great! There isn't a better service out there! DON'T BOTHER LOOKING!

. . . it would appear the brain chip they installed is working perfectly.

CG is awful. If it weren't for those rude giant men dressed in all black and their stupid abnormally big laser weapons threatening me I would most certainly place my webcomic in other place.

These guys can be pretty persuasive, you know?

I'm sorry sir. Won't happen again, sir. I'm ready for my punishment now, sir.

It has one disadvantage to Drunk Duck/SmackJeeves. But for the most part I prefer it.
