  1. Tell them to look at this file: https://www.cgccomics.com/robots.txt User-agent: AhrefsBot Disallow: / user-agent: * disallow: /boards/* This file is telling all search engines to not index /boards and any other URLs following. What I'm not sure of is if the switch to boards.cgccomics.com will change that but it will take some time for Google to check again.
  2. Interesting that they seem to be almost caught up on incoming submissions. Now opening comic book submissions delivered the week of October 25th, 2021. Tat seems unchanged. Now how long until the rest of the queues get caught up....
  3. Not old but just haven't gotten around to it from last Christmas.
  4. Once again not what I'm saying. I'll caveat this by saying while I've read many of the threads related to "cupcake", I defer to the many on this board that have much more knowledge about these topics than I. I'm a small fish... You certainly answer much of the questions in this thread and although I have not looked at your prior posts, you seem to have a real knack for spotting restoration, fakes, and general person_who_is_obnoxiously_self-impressed-bagery. Kudo's to you for that . What is odd or off, is direct questions related to your opinion of DD/Hammer/KSH are answered vaguely or not at all. I can tell you based on what I've read he is an utter tool that has done reprehensible harm to the hobby. Do I know him? Nope, but I still have that opinion. It's okay to have an opinion on someone regardless of whether you know them personally. I haven't formed a full opinion of whether you are DD but I can say that there are a lot of flags now that didn't exist before. I hope I'm wrong....
  5. My 15 minutes of fame thanks to That's E. ASM #666 store variant. Yep, that's me.
  6. Very cool, That's E was my LCS for years including the mid 80's before they moved to the current location on Park Ave. Really a great store, I've pulled some real gems from their back issue boxes.
  7. Not what I'm saying at all. Ignoring an untapped resource like here is strange to me. Low risk, high reward...
  8. Dates are fixed but we are all squishy on mobile devices.
  9. New feature! The logo on the top left no longer links to https://www.cgccomics.com/ which I've always used to toggle back and forth between the main site and the boards. Between the squished avatar, unintended switch in the profile content on the left of a post and this "miss" (all in one day), I'm going to once again suggest you recruit some Beta testers for changes. Deployments without proper QA are doomed for failure and if you are relying on the developers to check their own work then. I'm sure there is some staging area that access can be granted by IP and the database(s) replicated for beta purposes.
  10. Responsive web design gone wrong. Someone needs to go back to web design school. https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_rwd_mediaqueries.asp
  11. I can't image wanting to buy from a place where (most of the time) you can get the same book at a reduced cost as the reputable sellers pass the fee savings on to the buyer. That's crazy talk.
  12. Good catch but yes, having both right there is better IMO too.
  13. It's not complete until we get the villain monologue.
  14. It's been many a year since I last did this but will join in again. Will PM later today!
  15. I love all my books but my collection has be come massive over the past 15 years. There are a number of tittles/runs/books that I no longer care about that I really should unload. For instance I have the first 40 issues of The Boys, all around 9.6 or so with #1 being more of a 9.4. With the third season coming out (eventually), I really should try and unload them. I read and enjoyed them, no reason to hoard them any longer. It really comes down to being organized enough sell and ship with confidence which I'm not at this point.
  16. I've always been a collector and have only sold two books in my life. I do need to change that philosophy as someone recently told me you need to keep rotating out the bottom half of your collection. Lol, the hoarder in me won't let me though . I do plan to eventually sell off my collection and have a couple books coming back from CGC (if they ever get graded...) that I'll try and sell here.

  18. I've had to deal with some "big meanies" a couple times and told them to pound sand right back. It's the internet, to be expected that you'll run into a few keyboard warriors from time to time. ef em' anyways. I have noticed it is a quite "shilly" here recently but much tamer than it was. I do miss the burn the witch days sometimes.
