So my sister discovered webcomics around the time we got a computer for Christmas and the Internet was still very new to people. She kept calling me over to look at her favorite one, a gay comic called Boy Meets Boy.

"What? OH GODDAMNIT SIS I DON'T WANNA SEE YOUR GAY SEX COMIC LEAVE ME ALO- Huh? What's that link say? RPG World? Click it."

Laughed for hours and hours reading it. Helped that my friend got me into Final Fantasy games at the time.

>>77492782
>>77492782

Z is trying to tie this one in to the same continuity as Bar'd and a select few others. A veritable "universe" I guess. Left behind the fancomics and tried to make something original, or at least as much as you can get with sprites. Z advertised another one coming up but so far, nothing. Typical, typical.

Zman is now just Z and is transgendered or something now.

Megatokyo. Way back in Middleschool in like 01 or 02 in the 6th grade I started reading this til I dropped it some time in High-school (so before 08)

Before it became a mellow dramatic fest of bullshit this comic was hilarious as all hell.

Largo made this comic... Then the focus went full Piro and drama shit.

Also fun fact when I first went to the website the character section wasn't up.
It's been a decade since then...
Still no character section.

Been talking back and forth, I should probably say my first webcomic.

Bob and George. It still gets nostalgia points and it was the grandaddy sprite comic to be sure. The layout is pretty boring (even for a sprite comic) but I'll have to admit that I still find the writing mostly funny to this day.

I doubt even those who were around then remember me. I mostly lurked, occasionally shot the shit with the rest of the gang regarding plans for the AMAZING stories we'd tell with our recolor OCs, showed off a sprite sheet or two, and never actually got anywhere with it. I can't have been a regular for longer than a year.

It was a good time, though. Fun bunch of people, remarkably little drama, though I hear there was some if you knew where to look. Wish I still had the awful sprite sheets I made back then, if only for nostalgia's sake.

I can't remember what my first webcomic was.

It was some weird sci-fi furry comic that was kind of like Xenogears with anthros. At one point the protagonist warps to Earth and gets involved in the VHS/Beta conflict for a couple of chapters.

There was another chapter where the protagonist's best friend climbs down into the planet's lightless core and slumbers for eternity.

I can't remember the first but I think for a brief time I read this comic called Furthia High. It wasn't very good (even after the author rebooted the story).

I hung around the forums for a brief bit and Immelman was part of the community. Just about every general thread he started was bait and the most insolent way. He'd make threads about how terrible white people are and how everything would be better if we systematically killed off all white people. He was a shit and I don't know why the author put up with that shit.

The biggest one is while Linkara was developing Lightbringer he would roost in art critique threads. He was convinced that the secret to drawing good was just one special guideline, that the complexity of drawing could be reducted to a single rule. When people told him otherwise he would outright ignore them.

At one point one of the more prominent members of the community told him off for his naive idea of how to grow as an artist and he just deflected that criticism too. A few people came to his defense, which was unnecessary.
