All New!! A GAC Exclusive!!
« on: December 04, 2011, 08:18:51 PM »

Blimey!

I am not very good at public speaking (mumble mumble looking at notes) but I really ought to announce that I am the new custodian of GAC .... (wait for a slight ripple of polite applause)

So, I just wanted to say "HI" to everyone and to let you know a few things.

Firstly, a huge admission, I really don't know anything about comic books. A couple of years back I was looking for some images to use and I found GAC and its huge wealth of public domain material and just had to do something with it.

So I created FuryComics.com from scans that I downloaded from GAC and also later from DCM. What I also found was a VERY friendly and supportive community.

My vision for the site, now I am the new custodian, is for me to be a safe pair of hands and to move it forward slowly in the direction that people want, with a tweak here and there. Evolution not revolution. I also have absolutely NO intention WHATSOEVER of merging FuryComics and GAC. It would be VERY wrong of me to do so!

So I guess what I am saying is: it's "business as usual" and I will do EVERYTHING I can to make sure I safeguard everyone's hard work during my watch. At the moment, to be honest, it is more than a tad daunting so I would really appreciate all the support and forgiveness (if and when things go wrong) that you have it in your heart to give me.

Very best regards,

Mark

Good luck.  I'm firmly over on the DCM staff right now; but I do see value in having both sites, and I wish you the absolute best of luck back here.  Here's hoping everything goes well.

This is just a filler as the news and announcements do not seem to be showing ... hopefully this post will correct it

Okey dokey, I've missed something here but then again I'm notorious for not keeping up.  Not quite sure what's been going on or why but I visit Fury Comics and enjoy the site so I think I'm quite happy.  I can't help much, apart from encouraging you to get stuck in and enjoy the experience.
