I was originally going to do it this way but it became too much of a hassle to make an editor for. Three panels was ideal because the editor was nice and simple. Any more and you're doing some insane multi-page editing and it becomes really irritating to manage. The idea was for the strip creator to be very, very simple to use and to give you immediate fun results. So with that in mind, I wrote it hard-wired for three panels. So this probably isn't going to happen unless I rewrite the entire thing, which I'm not planning on doing any time soon unless I get some kind of government grant or something.

2) THOUGHTS >>AND
It's illegal enough that I don't want to bother putting them up and taking them down again when I get letters from lawyers. I've watched other odd comic strip projects get hassled by United Media and as much as I like to promote anarchy, I also like to sleep a lot and not get a lot of stressful phone calls and e-mail.
I occasionally get submissions of new characters, but they're usually only like two characters and a background and a link button for the comic they come from. I think I save most of them, but I'm not going to bother making a whole new category for two characters. I hate to be a dick about it, but it's just not worth the time and effort to add them.

6) ABILITY TO EDIT POSTED COMICS. But you knew that already.
I wrote an editor. Still haven't decided if it's wise to put it online or not.
For this to work, I'd have to appoint an arbiter of funny who decides what is and isn't funny and that sounds like no fun at all. Then I'd have to listen to whining and complaining that people's unfunny comics got deleted and that, yo, would suck. I'm all about the freedom.

I don't want to sound bitchy, nor do I want to repost something that other people have already posted (although I'm sure I did). I just wanted to get this off my chest. You may all now commense ignoring or reviling me, whichever is more convenient.
Well, you now have my excuses/explanations. If I seem unmotivated about adding features to the strip creator, it's because I am. It gets a tremendous amount of traffic and is still working, which is a pretty significant feat in my book. If I start diddling with it, I risk ruining this precarious balance which I treasure so much.
If I were to start "hitting the pipe" as they say and adding new things, I'd probably be working on getting a bit nicer web design for it. The comic list page is pretty damn atrocious and the profiles could be way nicer, etc. But I hate web/graphic design more than anything in the world except maybe injustice and cancer.
