Authors & readers!
This forum system is kind of weak, and I'd like to make a suggestion, that it be replaced. There are a few options:
Easy Suggestion: Replace this with phpBB - an open source, ad-free forum system, that you can host easily on the same site as the comic itself.
Awesome suggstion - use Discourse instead.
This is a more 'modern' discussion system, that feels a lot nicer than old-fashioned forum systems, but is definitely aimed at the same thing as forums.
Also, if I understand it correctly, you can in fact embed it within the site itself, so your 'under-the-comic' discussions can be done in Discuss itself as well.
Just some thoughts. I'm a sysadmin myself, so if folks need help with the setup aspects, just let me know!
I'd also like to know if other people would like a newer forum system, given the slowness & ads here.
(And yes, there is a way to copy the old forum content to a new forum).
