    I stumbled on this application to read comics several years ago and I have read stories that I really liked and I have seen how the app has evolved, not always for better. Back when I joined it felt pretty easy to check what was soon after renamed as "canvas" which is the free platform where anyone can upload their comic, so long it is within their stipulations such as keep it safe for work, be an original story, etc and then you had the originals, which were the stories that webtoon contracted to be serialised.

    With Canvas you set your own schedule, but the dream was getting picked by webtoon and offered a contract. Then you had to deliver on schedule but you'd had a team backing you up. I excitedly saw many stories announce that the canva version was going to be deleted because they became an original. Then be all excited to start over with the story. You'd see the polish, in a good way. I really liked that canva or original didn't feel like much of a difference. Both had pretty cool and interesting stories to explore.

    Nowadays most originals are trapped behind paywall right after they are finished. And plenty of originals if they don't do super amazing in the first season, they have to hurry up on the next season to tie everything up. It's been disappointing and bittersweet seeing great stories with rushed endings. Because of the contract is not like they can just take it and continue it elsewhere.


    Funny, I started the thread mostly because I want to talk about the comics themselves, see if anyone knows them and have been reading and see what you recommend. Haha.

    here's a few of the many I followed through the years I have enjoyed.
    Of the finished ones, I have no idea which ones are locked.

    • Eleceed - ongoing
    • Jungle Juice - ongoing
    • Marionetta - ongoing
    • Camlost - ongoing <-- This is from someone I know in real life. I loved hearing about the stories in her comic and I am very excited to see it getting done. :grinning:
    • Hooky
    • Morgan and Oz
    • Gremory Land - thriller
    • Stagtown - thriller
    • Seed
    • Nonesuch - thriller
    • The Witch and the Bull - ongoing
    • My Boo
    • Rise from Ashes
    • Humor Me
    • Room of Swords
    • The Fabled Warrior
    • Yumi's Cells
    • Waffles & pancakes
    • Tales of the Unusual 1 & 2 - hard to make it justice. It is creepy but the karma in the stories tend to be *chef kiss*
    • Our Time
    • 10th dimension boys - Pretty sure
    • Refund High School

    Happy to hear if there any other people using the apps and what stories you follow and why? I'd love to talk more in-depth about them. Hahaha

    Had it been working before that? I don't think mine has worked in several years actually.

    Maybe I just wasn't using it x'D

    I think you're right. It could have been years. I mean all the staff got so busy with life that it is very hard to say exactly when it failed.
    Kyde is aware now, so hopefully it is something that can be fixed soon enough.

    The first preorders used to be quite generous nowadays it seems to be pretty low efforr or at least, that's the impression I get. I agree with Kyde that it is probably a big part on the shift of accepting unfinished games and their price increase.

    It is rare that I preorder. I think Zelda games were one of my few exceptions.

    I definitely got my eye on Metroid Prime 4. I liked the past games and I am interested to see what they can bring to the table with a project that they have taken so many years of trouble and still pushing through. Samus rocks!

    Other than that, I am interested to see what kind of approach they'll have when they decide to make the next Zelda game.

    There's part of me that is still hoping they are hiding Mario galaxy 3 game under their sleeves and just pretending to be oblivious while keeping it strongly under wraps.

    Just giving a heads up that if you need help with anything that requires the forum to shoot you an email, it might be the case you won't receive anything. It might be some time before I figure what is causing it and how to fix it ((°^O^°) I'm sorry I think I forgot everything I once knew), but if you know me from elsewhere you can contact me directly for any community needs.

    Thank you for your patience and I am very sorry for the potential inconveniences.

    The people yearn for an escape from social media. The time of forums is coming.

    It is good that now it seems the awkward phase of the forums into mobile devices is slowly but surely being left behind. We have software adapting better to different displays. I think if you can figure out how to make a shortcut for your phone's home screen you are golden.

    In saying that, sitting in front of a computer is still my main and preferred method to enjoy checking out communities.

    So, for some reason each blog entry is referred to as "article" and then we have another mode specially for articles too and it seems to be very confusing. So please be aware that inside the blog menu:

    1. You can have more than one blog, so if you want to have a blog for recipes and a blog for personal entries, etc. you can make separated blogs.

    2. Blog = Name of your journal

    3. Article - Blog entry on a chosen 'blog'.

    I don't want to go in depth and substitute each instance of "article" for blog entry, as I don't want to mess up the system itself but at least for the drop down menu in our header, I've gone ahead and extended the name to hopefully make it easier to understand. Feel free to give it use.

    We have a few 'categories' available, but I am more than happy to add some more to make it easier for everyone to sort and find the type of blog entries/articles you want to read.

    Wow! It still works.

    If you can't drag the button, you can still manually right click, save the target link and save it in a new bookmark.
    I recommend you name the bookmark their original address of "https://kickassapp.com/" so you can track the web back if you ever need to.

    The javascript code
    JavaScript
    javascript:var KICKASSVERSION='2.0';var s = document.createElement('script');s.type='text/javascript';document.body.appendChild(s);s.src='https://hi.kickassapp.com/kickass.js';void(0);

    This also made me realise how dangerous can be just blindy dragging bookmarks without checking before hand the actual target url saved.

    Do you have a target amount of books you try to read per year?

    If you do, do you have any exclusion criteria?
    For example, is there a genre you don't count? do you include the ones you decide not to finish?
    Do you have a minimal amount of pages for it to count like a proper book?

    Do you have a record? And are trying to break it this year?

    :navi:Hijacking my own thread to let you know I've spent today moving a lot of the areas oof the community. It'd been in my mind for a while and today I decided to might as well do it. I mean, with my back pain is not like I can run anywhere, hahah.

    So here's the stuff I can recall I've done:

    1. Compressed a lot of zones and I merged/hide/removed empty and too similar areas. I want to simplify the index to hopefully bring a strong first impression. I also renamed a few zones again alluding to past Zelda communities like Zeldamania and TSR, hahah.

    2. Brought Zelda fan creations front and center. I ripped them from the projects area as it seems we got people just joining to share but not really being part of the community so I figured might as well have it easy to locate. A decade ago I was really trying to push for the use of the gallery but right now I am just going with the flow, so if most people just find easier to post a thread and that's what they have done, then might as well put it easy to find.

    3. Moved the portable and main Nintendo forum tree inside "Classic Nintendo". While most Zelda fans are by extension nintendo fans, having some many sections in the main index with our level of activity was not the best look. But the structure is just like we had it, just inside the Classic Nintendo noodle.


    FUTURE STUFF TO BE WORKED ON:

    • Fix broken images and smilies,
    • Create more discussion on the latest Zelda stuff happening.

    Maybe that'll be the next thing I'll work on when I have a good weekend. I want to get the forum look neat so I can share it in the other communities I enjoy.
    Let me know if there's anything else you think I should have a look at. :grinning:

    Well, too be honest I am usure how things are with the rest of the staff, but I still hover around from time to time, haha.
    This is probably the deadest(sp?) the forums have been in recent years (>u<)

    I might try something even if it is to bring a bit of movement. I am sure we all have been very busy with life and the gaming news landscape recently have been a bit "yikes" hahaha, but I guess taht's part why I want to recover a bit of this corner of the internet. (.__.)
