This place still exists... 9 years later. Hot damn, I can never run for president.

Oh hey forum.

I'm kind of amazed by how many of y'all I remember since my last post was in 2011. Holy fuck.

Especially amazed at how much I remember since I used to post in the drunk thread like, a lot.

Greetings to returnees of all persuasions

Redball · « **Reply #354 on:** 09 Mar 2016, 16:49 »

Well, I haven't been totally absent from the forum since I remarried late in 2014. But mostly absent. It may not change. But the forum was important to me for nearly 3 years, figuring out a new life for myself after my wife of 40 years died.
I've become a churchgoer. Not a particularly religious one. My new wife, Rachel, comes from a line of Methodist pastors. I sing in the fairly decent little choir near Kalamazoo in Michigan, and also here in Arizona for the couple of months we're down here, in a very good choir. Singing's important to me; I still drive 2 hours into Detroit a dozen times in the fall to rehearse and perform with an a cappella group.
The pace is about to pick up as soon as we return to Michigan: Trying to sell my house an hour away from Kalamazoo, go to Mississippi for Rachel's 50th high school reunion in early June, get our house ready for her younger son's American wedding in early July and get ready for the same son's Chinese wedding in September or October.
He lives in Shanghai and met a young woman there a year or so ago. The wedding will be a few hours north of Shanghai, in Lianyungang. It'll be my third in Asia over the last half-century.
I expect to consult Akima before this one's over.

My dad lived in Kalamazoo when he was an exchange student in the 70's, he went to Mattawan High School for a year. You might know some of the same people, weird!

And congratulations to your son and his future wife!

Naw, I'm new to the Kalamazoo area. I lived in and around Detroit most of my life until I retired to an area near the Ohio-Indiana border, about 2 hours from Detroit, less than that from Kalamazoo. And it's not a small place. The population of the city and surrounding county is 250k plus. Lots of industry there: pharmaceuticals, medical equipment (Stryker) and, surprising to me, a large bedding plant and nursery business.

Holy shit everyone's still here, that's nice. I saw that Jeph owns the domain ass.golf and somehow that translated to me reading the comic all over again and realizing I left a pretty decent community over here.

Uhh, hi.

Aww, it just goes to QC. I was hoping it was something funny like the former walmart.horse.

I completely forgot about this forum until recently, I was telling my friends about the serrano pepper incident and remembered I had it recorded somewhere, which ended up being here. It's cool to see people are still on here though!!

I have returned! Thanks to some Kugai user, very helpful person!! So, Hello!

Just don't forget you're still here.

i cannot believe this forum still exists as an entity and i kinda love it tbh.

Hiya!

Yes, the forum continues from strength to strength.

Kugai · « **Reply #372 on:** 24 Mar 2017, 13:57 »

We have always been here.

Redball · « **Reply #373 on:** 22 Aug 2017, 12:58 »

Barmymoo, aka May Harrison, still a forum member and former moderator who hasn't posted in 3 years or so, is married! She and Naomi have bought a home near Hastings, about two miles away from the English channel shore in the southeast part of the country. She looks and sounds delighted with her life. She and I keep up sporadically on Skype.

pwhodges · « **Reply #374 on:** 22 Aug 2017, 13:02 »

Please pass on my very best wishes when you next have occasion to - I remember her very fondly (and recall the time she and you came to a concert of mine in Oxford together and we went on to a pub with Thrillho).

CrowFairy · « **Reply #375 on:** 24 Aug 2017, 15:45 »

Aaah, that's so exciting! I miss seeing her around. She removed me on Skype, so send her my best for me!

I remember that she used to have boy troubles, so it looks like she figured all that out, haha. I hope she and Naomi are happy together.

Also, re-introducing myself. Formerly LoliButt due to people misinterpreting what I meant (Gothic Lolita fashion vs. what people associate with child porn). Trying to be in a better habit of being here. I really miss having my depression support group.

Kugai · « **Reply #376 on:** 25 Sep 2017, 16:14 »

Nice to hear all is well with and for her

Best wishes to her from Kiwiland

What's up you fucks, I'm dropping in to say hi. I'm Patrick. I'm a Californian with a bizarre history that includes time spent on what you could call Albanian Idol. Been missing a fair few of y'all and I would like to know how those folks have been.

pwhodges · « **Reply #379 on:** 03 Nov 2017, 02:13 »

Hey! Great to see you! I hope you are keeping well. Like any place, there are still some old-timers around, but a lot of new people as well.

(FYI, the Australian-based group that moved to their own forum called PJ have now broken up, and that forum is no more.)

Pichi · « **Reply #386 on:** 18 Apr 2018, 10:17 »

Joined these forums in 2008 apparently. I don't remember what was going on in QC but the strip count was somewhere in the 1000s.
I never posted here that often, but I've been going to whatever forums are still around lately because I've been kinda nostalgic about them.
I'm a speedrunner, Twitch streamer, and old-school video game nerd. Particularly Nintendo and Playstation stuff.
I tall and lanky and constantly get compared to Weird Al and Shaggy.
My music preferences are mostly electronic/hip hop and were once pretty heavily influenced by recommendations that Jeph used to post in like 2009 lol.
Some favorites are Nujabes, Daft Punk, Flamingosis, Agalloch, Fever Ray, Birocratic, Kendrick, Röyksopp, Sene
I can beatbox, I'm into a bit of anime/manga (but mostly too distracted as a default state to consume a lot of media).
I'm a few months into self-studying Japanese (mostly for internet-related purposes)
I used to be really into forums before they were mostly killed by social media.

That's about it as far as interests go. Hello, nice to meet you, etc.

Thanks. I cleansed my post history of the garbage. i.e., all of it.
It was very cathartic.
Luckily I never posted all that much.

Loki · « **Reply #389 on:** 07 May 2018, 09:47 »

Hm. I guess I could re-introduce myself.

I am in my late twenties (:shocked:) I have recently finished my Bachelor degree in Computer Science and am now majoring in Linguistics to add a second Bachelor degree on top of that.

I have been a member of this forum for, like, 10 years. Over this time, I realized I am polyamorous, vegetarian, queer, kinky, and maybe a relationship anarchist. I am in... at least one relationship right now.

Living in Germany, interested in linguistics and psychology. Ex-moderator. Good in organizing stuff and communicating.

Glyn · « **Reply #390 on:** 12 May 2018, 07:04 »

Well, finally made it here. For those that might be interested I'm 57 and work in an organic vineyard in Marlborough, New Zealand. In my spare time I collect wargaming miniatures, play computer games and write the occasional short story for the enjoyment of others.
Found webcomics, through Pinterest of all things, about three months ago and have since read all of Questionable Content, Dumbing of Age, Girls with Slingshots and Alice Grove. Recently started re-reading QC and found this wee gem. "I once read something somewhere that stated 33 as being the average number of strips webcomic authors will produce before quitting out of frustration/boredom/etc. I don't know if that's true or not, but it's always been in the back of my head. It makes today's strip, #33, a little special to me- I've made it this far and I have no plans of stopping anytime soon. It's heartening to know that I enjoy doing QC as much as I do. It's even more heartening (and very surprising) that other people seem to be enjoying it as well." I wonder if 2003 Jeph would have believed that 3,700 strips later it'd still be going strong.
