Sorry I'm just now replying. I read this at work one day, and then got interrupted by a client before I responded. Then I kinda forgot about it. Anyway...
So, let me see if I understand... the comic isn't going to be hosted here, but rather you're just going to have a homepage here, and then link to the comic elsewhere? I know most people don't read the all the various forum threads to keep up with things I've said in the past, so I don't blame you for not knowing this already, but... I generally frown upon "portal" sites that mainly just link to content elsewhere. For one, if you already have a site elsewhere with the actual content, what's the point in me spending time/energy/money to give you another? Secondly, I find that such sites are rarely updated, as most of the content is elsewhere to begin with, and short of browsing through everyone's site on a regular basis, I have no way of knowing when they're actually updated.
Sorry if I sound a bit harsh, it's just that I've had a lot of trouble with similar things in the past. I've put a lot of work into making a system where each account has nearly unlimited privleges in what they can run/store/host. Also, I'm working to make xepher.net a truely unifed place where people can come and find quality content. There are hundreds of hosting services out there, and I don't want this place to be just another loose amalgamation of disused home pages and forgotten file storage.
Now, I'm not telling you "no," but rather I'm asking you to think about what I've said. I want to build a community here, and I think that goal is achieved much better when members focus their efforts on a single, unifed site. I apologize if it sounds controlling, but the fact is I spend a good deal of my time, effort, and money, trying to make this place the best I can. In return, I ask that members do the same when it comes to their sites.
