Community affiliation

If we're trying to transcend "communities", why bring them up at all?<P>How would you handle the addition of new communities, then?

Well it's pretty easy (in my opinion) to spot a webcomic "community." Two basic characterists:<P>-A central site that lists all comics under it.<P>-Each comic's site has a link(or dropdown list, or whatever) back the central listing page.<P>Of course this would be more accurate to say webcomic "listings" instead of "communities", but in some cases, (like Keenspot/space, and a few others, I'm sure) "community" is a more accurate description. As far as "unafilliated" goes, well I'm not going really touch that definition just yet.
