Great site and a nice service. But I have to say that not being able to edit or delete your comics is fucking lame. There's a substantial number of situations where this might be needed, and I for one am not going to use the service any more until that feature is added.

Sorry, but that's just my opinion...

Who gives a fuck?

If you get your jollies by coming to a FREE site and ripping on what the SERVICE doesn't have, congratulations, you're an ass. If you really want an answer to your question, maybe you could stop being a bone scarfer for a moment, tear yourself away from writing your breath-taking buffy cartoons, and read the fucking faq.

Ass.

You're right, it's just so gay that the webmaster doesn't accomidate your lazy ass's lack of desire to proofread your strips before hitting save.

hyb, you have a duplicate? Tough. so does everyone here. It's not a big freakin' deal.

I don't mean to put myself with the n00bs, but it is a irritant when you cant get rid of the mistake of hittng enter when you have finished typing in box and already have your title in... Makes for a half finished comic, a waste of space, and just more garbage floating around in cyberspace. My vote would be yes we need a del function.

Oh yeah, if there's a service where you can make comic strips without drawing shit, AND there's a delete/edit function, could you show me the URL? Cause I don't believe there are any, but if there is, I wouldn't mind seeing it. Until then, go whine elsewhere. Or better yet, YOU try making a site like this and tell me it's easy.

MatthewEastaugh
November 28, 2001 5:24 PM

Right, let's analyse this. You say you need an edit function, TeMPeST.. I say your strips are crap, and would benefit more greatly from a delete function. Admittedly, my strips are all also crap.. but notice how I don't moan about anything. Well, other than getting myself a character. But that's a different story entirely. :)

Anyway, welcome to our little forum community. You may have noticed that in the most part, we are nice and good-humoured to each other, and don't moan about stuff. If you reconsider and wish to stay around, then be nice will ya? Thanks much.

Oh, and as for ObiJo's amount of comics... ever considered that could be cos he's been here much much longer than you? If you want to analyse it properly, you've posted more comics per day than he has.

Admittedly, an edit / delete function would be nice.. but this is a free site. FREE. Supported entirely off people being nice and generous, and helping out. People drawing and coding stuff off their own backs. It is no ones duty to make sure that all the facilities newbies want are implemented. If you don't like it, either ask nicely, or go find another strip creator.

And good luck, cos I don't think there is one. And I'm British, so no 'spots' comments. ta.

UPpeR aND loWERcaSe LETtErS miXed in YouR NAMe. Gay? Yes.

I never get to be part of the initial bashing anymore. I need to get up earlier.

I'm fairly certain that one of the first messages I ever posted was to the tune of "Is there any way to delete or edit comics?", so I can certainly see your point.

But is it really necessary to be rude about it? I have no concept to the amount of time that it took to build this site originally as well as work on it constantly, but I'm willing to be that it was a lot. To put that much work into something that is enjoyable to so many with no expectation of any kind of reward is truly noble. Not only is he not charging us for the privilege, he's spending his own cash on the hosting.

Every lousy comic we make is sucking up storage space. Each post we write eats up a little bandwidth every time it's downloaded.

I've tried to do my part and send Brad a little moolah now and then to help out, especially due to the silly amount of time I've spent here in months past.

But everyone's entitled to their opinion. If you don't like the way things are run, certainly voice them. But there's no reason to be mean.

Wow, what a great response! You forum members are dumber than I thought. :)

The problem is, even I could create an edit/delete function like this and make it secure within a few minutes... web developing for beginners. I find it surprising that Brad, who is obviously someone with a very good sense of creativity has neglected to sort this out. To be honest though, his reasons for not putting this up are actually very fair - he simply doesnt want to deal with half-whits who complain to a service provider after they leave their passwords lying around and their account gets hacked... In my opinion, Brad should enable this feature and tell people who's accounts have been hacked to fuck off. It wouldnt even be hard to create a system where you can download a backup config file of the comics and stuff... who knows, maybe he's working on it anyway.

In any case, respect to Brad... he knows an open opinion when he sees one and reacts accordingly, and the fact that I use abusive language is part of the forum 'thing'. In other words, if you don't like it, fuck off or remove my post. After all, he has to put up with your kind of mentalities... I was almost laughing out loud when I read the replies. :)

Oh, by the way Drexle...

November 29, 2001 8:08 AM

I believe everyone is entitled to their own oppinion. I believe Tempest has a point with this.

First off, I'd like to say that I think stripcreator is excellent peice of web design, for what it is, it's great and pretty much flawless.

A delete/edit function would be useful as it gives the user more control over what they're doing and would probably make the site more successful. Fair enough, it's not a vital function, but it's a little extra that could take the system a lot further.

If we look at other on-line database type systems, such as a website news editor, it will give you edit & delete options, if it did not, it would be a great inconvinience to the editor.

I personally would like to see at least a delete option, as I've got crappy cartoons. It's not difficult to incorporate :)

Still, as I say, I don't have a problem with it, just a suggestion.

Oh, and there's 'pants', 'trousers', 'slacks' and 'jeans'. Pants are pants. I believe the English use the correct term. Also, learn to spell English :) Centre, not center! I'm fed up with having to code to accomodate bloody American spelling. Color wtf?! It's Colour!

Do you really think calling someone 'gay' is an appropriate way to slag someone off? I think it's a bit sad that people do that. I know a few gay people, and they're the same as any other sort of people.

Anyway, it is rather shamefull that you've written 2053 posts on this board DexX. Also, notice the last letter of your handle is in uppercase, so I'd be a little more careful about what you say...perhaps you could use the 'edit account' option to rectify this, but then..you're not really into editing things are you?

first off, fair play for being tru and tru with your "pants" and "color" stuff. a view i hold close and dear

secondly, you have crap comics, i have crap comics, everyone has crap comic. the thing is they are so bad that they are fucking hilarious, purely for being shit. if we were to introduce a delete function it would raise the quality of humour slightly and we would lose that ability to go "oh my go! thats so shit! loser" at others comics

DexX didn't call anyone gay... was called the "quote" function.

Since you were referring specifically to Americans, I can only assume you mean this definition:

quote:
10. pl. spot or spots A small croaker (Leiostomus xanthurus) of North American Atlantic waters, having a dark mark above each pectoral fin and valued as a food and sport fish.
Dear me. I, for one, am stressed.

Tempest, your reasons for wanting edit/delete functionality are valid, as are others' reasons for not wanting it, and Brad's reasons for not implementing it. But there's a polite way and an appropriate channel in which to ask, and if that doesn't work, you can always fuck off like you said you would. Your little temper tantrum here is both rude and pointless.

we do the same to "white boy" for him

when he does something wrong we call him black

so in a band practice if he fucks up we all shout along the lines of "nigga, quit being such a black"

we all enjoy it

we do this because people who get het up about race and made the word black a taboo word to use are stupid and make us laugh

No, because now I don't understand the connection to Americans. Or why it would be particularly laughable if someone were unduly stressed about such spots. All in all, I think this attempt at an insult has fizzled. Time to try a new tack.

Not sure who this Syrus tosser is, but let's do some dissection on the soon-to-be e-corpse...

Do you really think calling someone 'gay' is an appropriate way to slag someone off? I think it's a bit sad that people do that. I know a few gay people, and they're the same as any other sort of people.

As has been pointed out already, I was quoting someone else, and suggesting that their statement indicates that I am gay. The person I was quoting was in turn using the phraseology of somebody else, and in doing so was taking the piss. Try reading next time.

Anyway, it is rather shamefull that you've written 2053 posts on this board DexX.

Why? I have been here since early January. If you think my postings here are sad, what about you - you're here, apparently, only the hang shit on me. A bit of a pointless existence, no?

Also, notice the last letter of your handle is in uppercase, so I'd be a little more careful about what you say...

*yawn* You never did well at school in comprehension exercises, did you?

perhaps you could use the 'edit account' option to rectify this, but then..you're not really into editing things are you?That does it - this is someone I know. I am notorious amongst my friends for hating to edit anything after I make it, be it a picture, a passage of writing, or whatever. Did you forget your original password, Mr Tool?

Right, and when Tempest talked about Americans worrying about their spots, I thought "What the fuck is he talking about? Spots? I haven't had anything even resembling spots since I had chicken pox." So all I could assume is that either every american he's ever seen a picture of had a blotchy complextion, or he's speaking some sort of slang.

And Tempest, you like "taunting children?" Well if that isn't the most mature thing I've ever heard...
