So we have been trying to get
www.cohcomicindex.com up and running. Still many problems though that prevent us from being fully functional.
The site is meant to be something to replace hypercomics.com way back when people in coh were making their own comics left and right and uploading them all to there for all to see.
This takes that and expands upon it. Not only can people create pages for their comic, their own authors page, upload their comics, etc, but we try and put up all kinds of useful links, guides, tips and more to help people create their own comics. It helps the coh community in many different ways.
Anyways, many of the problems we are facing are spam bots, security, etc. Now I've been trying to research and figure out what to do however I suck at coding. I barely understand basic html and so php is just alien to me. Now I'm hoping the answer lays with you all.
I've asked this before and the reply was to look at it again in a few months as you were all very busy. Well it has been a long time now and I am asking again, hoping for a better answer.
I am asking if the comic index could be brought into the titan network family. This will solve our main site issues (account and security) and allow us to focus more on the content. The CCC has been at this site for years now, so we are here to stay.
If its a matter of transfering all files to you guys and you hosting it on your site, thats doable. Can easily reroute the domains and such. If its another issue we at the CCC haven't considered, I'm hoping you'll be able to post or private message and perhaps work with us, so we can get to where we need to be to join you.
There is a very large under community of comic makers in coh. Many stop before they have even started as they aren't sure where to even begin. Others start but leave work half finished, confused at how to go about screen shots, demo editing and more. Others create one, maybe two and then walk away as where to host, gain attention and such has no main definitive direction. There are so many times when I am playing the game and some random person messages me to tell me they like my comic or like the CCC's collaborative work. We even have coh forum mods like Avatea who message me or other CCC members, pointing out new comic makers who show up, so we can help guide them in a sense. Give tips or whatnot.
There is definitely a need/demand for this, however, after the destruction of hypercomics, awareness is declined. For the last several years I've gone out and found other coh comic makers. Bringing together and forming the CCC or just simply helping them in whatever way I can. If joining is just a matter of proving this, we can backup the current index site, really open the site up to everyone on the forums, advertising it more and such, and let the traffic in. There will be lots of chaos from spam bots and the like, however if that's what it takes to find a home in the titan network, then that's what we will have to do. I'm hoping we don't have to do that specifically. So I am begging you, please seriously consider bringing the CoH Comic Index into the Titan family and what needs to be done for this to occur.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Sin Stalker
