See, that's all I wanted to hear! Yeah, you're right though, when I did GOTHY(my old webcomic) I was on here all the time asking questions and taking part in contests.....I'm going to get back to that. Thanks! :)

Well, I'm bored, so I'll agree with you. Reviewers can make their own choices of what to review. There's plenty out there.

Amazing that it took 24 pages for this to become an issue overnight.

Took 24 pages to say what we were keeping to ourselves.

Sheesh, I would rather we just drop the whole issue. I'm fine with it, no need to get personal, okay? I'm done.

....and no one has gotten personal.

But yeah, let's consider the issue closed.

Now if we were talking about spiky hair, that would be a reason to get personal.

Being polite. Fair enough.

It's Hades-esque, to say the least. Sure, I'll add you to the once stalking, now requesting pile. I'll email when it's up. THanks for the interest! 8-)

The way I see it it's more a "giant flashing banner ad" for the comics he's reviewing... Everytime Jack posts that he's done a new review I find myself checking out a comic (most of them in their entirity), that I would have otherwise never known about...

It's a shame that everyone has to get down on a thread that I feel has caused more good than harm...

Jack is there any kind of "e-letter" we can sign up for to see when you put new stuff on the site?

Or maybe we can perpetuate this thread by posting Responses to the effect of "Holy crap Jack did a review on *insert comic* and it was crizz-zazy!!"

Would that work better?

Holy crap with the triple-posting!

I think a newsbox-feed-thing is useful, and spreading the word virus-like to the far interweb is a good trick as well.

I believe Zwuh used the word "circlejerk?"

Harsh, and perhaps a touch vulgar, but the point being that GD is not here for the mutual advertisement of reviewers and cartoonists.

I would love to do an eletter, but how would I go about that? And before anyone says something, I DID try and private message Mr. Eff, but it said error. Twice.

I think there's a site out there somewhere that helps with setup of newsletters and such. Can't think of the URL at the moment though.

...

Hmm. Bravenet.com is supposed to be good. I don't use mailing lists, so I have no idea, really. It's something from a CafePress forum from a while back that I saved.

I apologize if this is considered unnecessary bumping of this thread, but I just wanted to say thanks to Jack for taking the time to do a review for my web comic.

I thought I'd post here because I initially asked for a review in this thread around half a year ago and thought it would be the proper place for "Thank you" post.

I think as long as something is being discussed in some form it's fine to post in here. THanks for the thanks, and there I really enjoyed the comic!
