Title: I'm sure you've been getting a lot of this this weekend
Post by: Nevinz on 11 Nov 2012, 00:16
But apparently QC has a forum!
It's definitely my favorite webcomic. I just never thought about the forum before. Is there a link from the main page?
Also, HI I AM NEVINZ I LOVE QC ETC ETC.

Thank you for your time, anyone who replies to this thread :)

HI I AM PILCHARD I LOVE QC ETC ETC


There is a link, but it's only on questionablecontent.net or questionablecontent.net/index. For some reason, the link isn't on questionablecontent.net/view. Add to that the link being below the fold and you have a recipe for not seeing the link at all. It took me at least one archive binge to see it, possibly two.

Well it helped me find the forums :)

Man, that is a well hidden link. I finally found it, but it is not obvious.

I am glad I am here now though. I do love me some QC.

What parts of the forums are people most interested / active in? I don't want to go about necroing things and shouting into emptiness.

It happens.  To avoid the really annoying things, please read the sticky threads near the beginning of the "comic" forum, especially "Conduct in this forum", "Welcome to the QC forum! PLEASE READ IF YOU ARE NEW", and "For new people: what's a "WCDT"? Why is it important?

I....actually already read all of those, except the Like QC Wiki one.
I am no stranger to forums and did not wish to break rules and be obnoxious :)

I take it the WCDT threads are very popular?

It's where all the over-analysing happens. I'll let you be the judge of what that means.

We don't have a policy against this; but there was a large population change in the forums about eighteen months ago, so the original contributors to older threads are likely not to be here any more.  As always, a bit of lurking and reading around to see what people are currently interested in would be a good start.

Ah yes, the lurking.  :mrgreen: Welcome to the forums sir! Be sure to explore all the things, people here are both friendly and helpful, and we're delighted to have you!

I'm generally quite the lurker. It depends on the forum though; I have been more active in some places than others.

Thanks for the welcome, everyone! This looks like a good board so far. I am looking forward to being a (buried) part of it.

What caused this population change?

Free advertising and the construction of an open bar in the neighboring website. :-P But more seriously, more people probably realized that there is a forum or started to read the comic and wanted to see if there was a forum.

What caused this population change?

There was a very active group of people who were only marginally interested in the comic (if at all), and who used this forum as their place to meet.  They had been on another forum before, and have now moved on to a forum of their own set up eighteen months ago by a couple of them.  I am an admin here largely because the previous active admin was one of those guys and passed me the baton. 

There was also friction between this group and those who did come here for the comic, which led to an unhappy atmosphere (and which is why Jeph now has such an inconspicuous link to this place); those days have passed, but I don't know if Jeph will ever really regain his confidence in this place - this weekend's comic might help a lot, though.

Welcome, new person!

This is now intended to be one of the nice places on the Internet, and the main thing you need to know from the history is that the anti-shipping rule is really important. Most of the rest is the common sense you already know from other fora.
