Any of you all read the megatokyo webcomic? It's still ongoing. I think Digi used to read it, although I don't know if n0 has read it.

What are your thoughts on it? I am wondering if to read it but I have heard the story gets convoluted later on. The art stays at a similar level too... it doesn't get much better enough. However it seems to have some dedicated fans.

i know that i didn't read very much of it. I started reading webcomics in like 2006 so i did hear about it and tried to get into it. something about it felt off and it didn't click. similar with penny arcade. i did like cad at the time tho and kept reading until well after loss ... so idk if im the best judge for web comics? I have felt like i should give it another go at some point. going back through more than a decade of comics is potentially a fun weekend

I read it back in the day, then got bored at some point. Honestly, I don't know anyone anywhere who stuck with it into the 2010s despite just how popular it was before.

lots of people kept reading CAD after loss (me)
I had read a lot of webcomics for a long time after I should have dropped them (I used to read QC lol)
eventually though, the lack of quality became too hard to ignore

the one webcomic that isn't a pure gag a day like xkcd or smbc that I am glad I never dropped is Sam and Fuzzy
it's all filler nowadays, but the story ended years ago so that's not surprising lmao

kinda off topic so sageing
i still read qc, I guess i'm too invested in the soap opera of it. i dunno. it definitely was more interesting when there was heavy drama and tangled relationships. but i've become too interested in the clairexmartin ship to stop i guess.
The also still read dresden codak and EGS, but DC releases so much slower I check it fairly infrequently. i haven't read xkcd since near 1000, except through osmosis.

i feel like with CAD loss was like a brick that broke the window for many people. I didn't personally see it as super impactful or insensitive at the time, i wasn't into forum culture back then so i didn't see the reaction to it in real time, just heard about it after the fact. my assumption is it caused many to drop it. but i guess both many people kept reading and many people dropped it can both be true. cad was pretty popular.
