>>111708309Yeah, I'm aware that outlets like ReadComicOnline do exist. And I'm not trying to deter anyone from going to said sites to get their fix. I just wanted to provide a resource for comics/novels specific to a series all in one archive. Both to view and download (in case of offline occurrence). Thread like the Win-O'-Thread offer links to issues and specials. But eventually, those links wear our and are taken down due to copyright or are just invalid.
Just to give you an idea of where I'm coming from, I archive media for a living.
>I work at a film & sound archiveI work with all types of media, past and present. From reel-to-reels and U-Matic broadcast tapes, to more recent Betacam and web video formats. Not to mention I lurk /co/ on a near-daily basis. :/
I'm also an avid webcomic reader. Reading stuff from comics already finished (i.e. Octopus Pie, Cerintha, Girls with Slingshots) to more recent additions (Ava's Demon, Devil's Candy, Barbarous).
So when a webcomic either stops via defucnt links or is subject to "Orphaned Series" syndrome, it breaks me knowing that webcomics that once existed are just no more. Forever lost to the sands of time. So I figured "Why not archive running or defunct webcomics, regardless of quality, for future audiences to read?" Hell I still have Modern Fried Snake (the very last comic that Ryan Armand ever worked on before drifting off into the foggy night) in it's incomplete entirety with intermissions! Plus I also archive comics based on what I like, Giant Days and the like included.
>TL;DR - I archive webcomics (good or bad) for preservation purposes, just because I think it's the right thing to do. Sorry for the long-winded talk. I'm off to bed.
