Okay, here's the deal: I'm going to combine the stripcreator and forum user database real soon (tonight or tomorrow, probably). What's going to happen is that I'm going to switch the forums to use the stripcreator user database. This will cause you to need to use your stripcreator password to post messages in the forums. Then I'm going to import things like your total posts and signature over into your stripcreator user record. If your user name isn't the same on the forums and the stripcreator and you want me to move your total posts over, let me know -- please tell me both of your user names.

Forum users that don't exist on the stripcreator will be deleted (there shouldn't be many of these). Then, if everything still works, I'll be all like "woo!" and "yeah!" and stuff and possibly do some sort of little dance before I go get drunk.

We could go make Stripcreator logins for them. Then it'd all be hunky dory.

I'll get right on it.

Seriously, what's going to happen to previous forum posts made by users who get deleted? A thread linked in the FAQ ("An important announcement from Dr. Pedantic") is primarily made up of posts by one-note accounts.

The what mentioned above is total fiction. Please don't take it seriously!

If you make accounts for those names on the stripcreator like Gabe suggested, it'll work as before.

I tried making a Tobor but it said the username was already taken. Anyone else get there first?

I don't see it happening to others, but my forum signature has been cut short. Quite painful. And I seem unable to edit it.

Bug or user error?

Whoa! Click to view comic? Is this how it's gonna be from now on? I can see that being better for people with slow internet connections, but it makes it a bitch to view the comics en masse.

Stuff is disappearing, too. The rules for CC 51 are gone, but Kaufman's comic is still there.

Hold me tight, wirthling!

I'm still adjusting to this "people reacting before I've typed up my explanation" thing. Check my post here:

What's this about disappearing posts? I haven't deleted anything, so it's probably just a bug.

Ah, I see. If you post a comic it doesn't display any text that follows it. Hmm, let's see about fixing that.

Either you're a darn quick fix, or it's showing the text after comics if you have the "show forum comics" flag enabled.
