'Tis a bid sad, if totally predicted. Ah well.

May the other webcomics who had their forums part of the EBP build up their own communities?

Josh gave all the other artists several weeks to get organized. I'm sure everyone was already long settled into their new hosts when the plug was pulled. There was no traffic to speak of in any of the old threads outside the random crap threads.

Yeah, us BU/ED guys restarted up our old forum that we were using before Josh invited us over to his. Here's a link, if anyone is interested.

I'm glad I saw Max's photos posted there before Josh pulled the plug.

What is the deal with forums and fans, Floyd? Have any ideas about what went wrong overall or is it just a simple lack of interest by the readers?

Good question.

My guess would be that the reader base for girly never developed to the point where enough people would want to talk about the comic on a daily basis. Look at the number of folks posting to the girly livejournal account. There arn't that many of them. And a lot of posts come from a very small base of readers.

It wasn't worth the stress of having a leaky PHP forum sitting and doing much of anything. I'm sure Josh can make use of the free server space that was taking up.
