RIP Facepunch Comic Section; Facepunch Comic Section Gone?

Comic section on Facepunch has vanished.

The reasons why have not be divulged but the most likely reason seems to be that this is an attempt to save on server strain.

All threads made in the Comic section have been moved into the Screenshots and Movies section of the site.

However as no announcement was made its still unsure if that is where they are to be posted from now on, but this may be rectified in due course.

Now usually I'm not one to post about the goings on of other sites out there but is kind of a unpleasent turn of events.

But still this is the Union and we do love comics and such :)

Well, that was one of two reasons why I am registered there. The other one is the Models section.

Also, "to save on server strain"? That would make no sense, seeing as people will still post comics there anyway. The server strain is the same, extra subforum or not.

It is of course worth pointing out that I'm a technical idiot.

Seriously 'bumming it' doesn't even come close to my technical prowess.

I'm not an expert either, Chris, just pointing out what I thought were flaws in the logic. I could be wrong, too.

Ah, well. Call me a cynic, but GMod comic making is dead. We're a dying breed.

With what strength is there to boycott?

Hell theres no big Garry's mod comic sites like there used to be so you'd get little support for it.

I know its kind odd me saying that since I run this site but we are only a small site with only about four active members, thwack do we have eh?

Just thought that the people on that site actually cared about it, but honestly the only time i ever looked at that section was back in 2009 when i saw someone make a comic in gm_construct and was edited edited with paint, which also got positive feedback from the community, that really scared me away.
