EDIT: I guess the forum wasn't a good idea.

Since this probably won't be a reality, I have no problem critiquing the forum for future reference, in case you ever want to start a forum later on for some other purpose.

First off, NO NO NO on the giant flashy background of doom. While I will admit it's nowhere near as bad as most of the "wallpapers" *shudder* that you see on MySpace, it's still very distracting. I like that you managed to use semi-transparent panes to make it less... pane-ful ...but it still doesn't really fix things. There's a reason Windows Vista has the contents of whatever's behind their smoky-glass window borders blurred, despite the vast amount of system resources it wastes to do it.
Also, if I were to get my site hosted with someone who throws ads all over your screen, I would expect them to use a non-freeware forum system at the very least. Like, say, the Invision Power Boards for which the site seems to be named and which I could swear they used to use. Seriously, there's no reason you can't set your sights, and your sites, higher.

BOOM, HEADSHOT!LOL I WUZ JAY KAY.Yes, I mean it's not like I've owned this domain name for just under two years now and we've had 1 downtime due to a server move and 1 due to an April Fool's joke, what an unreliable forum this is?As if anyone else would trust you with their forum again.I'd be able to offer some webspace once I've got a new hosting server sorted, but I wouldn't inflict my current database server on anyone xD
LIK LOLZ, GET OVER IT GUYZ AND GALZ, LOLOLOLOL, etc.

He said in his email that it the ad-free-ness was a 90-day trial limited time offer. So I expect once that runs out it'll be buried in SHOOT CONDOLEZA RICE AND WIN A FREE LAMBORGHINI HOT TUB!!! and the like.LOL I got no ads.
Anywho: This thread is now about creating a collective comics site. There, that seems to work when Arloest does it; let's see how this develops.
The Lupinia Hosting Community will provide free ad-free hosting for such a system, as long as it does not use phpBB 2 (which shouldn't be a problem).

I think the idea of a forum for multiple comics is a great idea, and once I get mine going I might partake in this idea if possible.

I believe that your new avatar is the winningest of them all, Osprey.I concur, the multiple comic forum is a great idea.
