As i already said once:
The service name is Comigenesis, we call ourselves 'Spacers, our new mascotte is Sharp-chan and we're gonna use Doombees as our secret weapon! ^^

RELASE THE DOOMBEES!!

What are we to do with the lovely Keenspace logo? Unless they spelled it "KomicGen" in the logo.

The whole Linkin Park thing of replacing C's with K's is so passe though.

Well...

...it's about time they made a decision.

Cool. Comicgen at last. Thank goodness it wasn't Toonspace.

Erm, Joel already designed a new logo ages ago, and we all (mostly) agreed it was great.

Thank god this is over. I think I was beginning to have nightmares about this thing never getting done and stretching on for another year...

So now that we have the decision made...when's everything officially changing over to the new name?

Which was why I actually already knew this piece of news. I had a bit of a stake in and our lupin admin* let me know what was happening.

No, I just didn't know how to spell Strd... Stred... Well, whatever it is. I've a blind spot on that one.

Wonderful. I just think I figured out why the images won't appear on my website and now I check out my site on comicgen and find out that even MORE images are strangely invisible there! Oy vey, why couldn't they just leave well enough alone?

Honey, I could go into a very long and thorough discussion to answer that question, but I think that everyone here knows the answer by heart by now.

Also, run a full update.

Indeed. It was really more of a rhetorical question than anything. But thanks, anyway!

http://arcadia.comicgen.com

I'm fine with that address.

The ONLY thing that I'm not sure about is whether I have to go back and edit every main link on my website to change the links to my webcomic's webpages. Unless the links and stuff will be changed automatically....

Does anyone knows how that's gonna be worked out? Cuz I'd like to know as soon as possible while I have time.

I know. I'm not gonna refute the new name anymore but I'd really like to know how to change everything. I rather do it now than later...

Strange that people are suggesting other people stop complaining due to being sick of it, or just not liking complainers, or the names of the service.

You know, what with free speech and all...

...but more importantly, how it was COMPLAINING that saved us from the horrible horrible fate that was ToonSpace. I feel ComicGen is infinitely better than ToonSpace, but if someone wants to complain about losing the Keenspace name, hell, I say let 'em and support 'em. Sick of reading it? Then don't read it. Just don't tell me not to post something because you don't care to read it. That's just silly.

So what exactly do I have to do? Change that one little line in my daily and index templates?

Man, I hope they get http://www.elvenbaath.com to work soon. I'd love to have it so anyone who links me can just use that.

But yeah, that was quite the tangent...

FREE SPEECH FOR THE DUMB! FREE SPEECH FREE SPEECH FOR THE DUMB FREE SPEECH FOR THE DUMB FREE FUCKING SPEEEEEEEECH!

Well at least we know what it's gonna be now.
And honestly, it's not all that bad. I just like KeenSpace because, well, that's the name I'm used to. But it's probably going to take me only a day to get used to a new name. I don't really care.
It could've been worse.

I agree that we shouldn't have to stop complaining! Complaining gets results! It's complaining that saved us from ToonSpace, right?

Want to know an easy way? I'm assuming you still have your whole site up on your home pc somewhere.. if not, just log into your FTP of choice and download it all to your computer first.

Then, download Notetab Light and run it. It has a multiple-open feature that I LURVE... open all your HTML pages at once.

Then, do a find/replace for keenspace and replace it with the term comicgenesis. Click the box under the small box marked "Scope" for "All documents" and you'll replace *EVERY SINGLE OCCURRANCE* of keenspace with the new word.

Then, simply Save all and reupload them en masse to your site and do a full site update. Done.

Edit: Just for example, I went ahead and did it for my site. 484 occurrances of keenspace, replaced in about 2 seconds with the new URL. See? Piece of cake.

Why did everyone hate the "ToonSpace" name so much? We are carTOONists, after all! Doesn't seem to make much sense...

That's great. That helped me alot. However, once we do that, what next? The address is still http://arcadia.keenspace.com. Do I have to like go to my control panel and edit the address, cuz there's a list of subdomains or something.
