An Offer I shouldn't Refuse
Hey guys,
I got an offer tonight from a site that wants to take over the hosting of Arcanetimes.com
They are offering me 100% free web hosting of not only the comic -- but my main site as well -- that's a $240 annual reduction of operating costs for those of you playing the home game
No ad's -- except those that I want, when I want, and where I want them
And a personalizd Forum
the main downside is that everyone would have to move over to the new fourm -- after only a week of this one --- GAH!
so ... should I do it?

If all your worrying about is us, then just take the deal. We'll follow the site wherever it goes.

I can even be silly in different languages if that helps, so where I post my random thoughts and stupid comments dosn't bother me.
So grab the offer quickly!
Ps. Can we come with suggestions on how the new site should be desigend, i.e. what functions we want?
Besides, this forum doesn't really capture the spirit of Arcane Times, needs more of a sppoky feel.

Well concerning the forum, I have no real idea.
But if you are going to remake the entire site I have some suggestions.
First, an easy guide how to dra would be if you could show some sketches in different stages of development etc.
Also, keep the comment function on your posts, it's better to comment there than starting a new thread everytime we (your small group of loyal peons) want to say something about your latest post.
Last, one way to cash in some extra $$$ is to follow http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/index.php and make some fans pay to for a premium package, which might include "looking" special in theforum, access to extra material (like work in progress and things that never got finished etc) I'm not able to pay alot, but I would be willing to pay a few dollars for some perks.
What do the rest of you think?

The new site would use a "ShoutBox" to the left of my news posts where you guys can comment your nights awayAndersOlsson wrote: Also, keep the comment function on your posts, it's better to comment there than starting a new thread everytime we (your small group of loyal peons) want to say something about your latest post.
I'm wary about premium content. I wouldn't do it unless I felt I was giving you guys something worth it... and to me that would have to be alot. And if I was going to put that much work into it -- It would be better served to give it away -- and bring in new readers.AndersOlsson wrote: Last, one way to cash in some extra $$$ is to follow http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/index.php and make some fans pay to for a premium package, which might include "looking" special in theforum, access to extra material (like work in progress and things that never got finished etc) I'm not able to pay alot, but I would be willing to pay a few dollars for some perks.
Right now my buisness model is... Put up a good comic for free and get readers. While I'm waiting to have enough good comics to publish, make cool side stuff for the fans. When I have enough good comics -- Publish a trade paperback. Start over.

What he obviously meant to say was “keep making new topics in the forum for each new comic because it‘s easier for new readers to catch up on old jokes but keep the comment on a page thingy too”.AndersOlsson wrote:Well concerning the forum, I have no real idea.

Please excuse my sometimes bad english, when I'm tired I can't spell correctly in any language and I sometimes ramble on in a way that is perfectly logical to me, but not to anyone else. But I'm happy to see that my thought got through.

Words are highly overrated on forums anyway. Given a large enough variety of smiley faces you can do away with them entirely.
