Yeah, most here probably don't check the forums much. I suggest obviously talking to Amber at DMFA, and Reinder at ROCR (though he frequents the forums.) Reinder especially seems to have a lot of thoughts about comic promotion and the whole "business" of webcomics. While I enjoy quite a few other comics and sites here, none leap to mind as... well, forgive me everyone... as "professionally managed." Most of the sites here are done for reasons of personal satisfaction, and don't seem too concerned with promotion or anything really beyond just telling a story they enjoy. Of course, even as I type this, I'm sure there are quite a few exceptions who'll prove me wrong shortly. :-)
Anyway, good luck with this Fes... if you need/want anything from me personally, just let me know.
