...needs a change. If you're just here to shit on Scott, just take a hike. Go write nastygrams on the Warcraft forums and troll on your alts. It's the same mentality, really.

" You are correct in the fact that this site is free to visit for general population, but it sure as shit isn't free to all these advertisers here. "Right - so unless you're an advertiser, shut the hole under your nose and vote with your dollars. That's the kind of business I'm in. I'm certainly NOT in the business where a bunch of whiny self-important random people on an internet forum get to decide how/when/why my work gets done and what kind of crap I get in return. I'm not defending missed deadlines here. But I do understand that it happens, and the people who write the checks for this can work it out. They can fine, not pay checks, require reimbursement, blacklist you from work, etc. If it happens a lot, yes - it will hurt the artist and revenues, dramatically. I still fail to see where YOU the reader get to call those shots, however. I still fail to see where it means that y'all can excuse yourselves acting like assholes to someone you want more from in the first place. It's backwards and juvenile."With people checking the site just to see if its updated creates bullshit impressions for those advertisers."Well now that's just not right. First off, you don't even know if the model here is by click or involved with page hits. Second of all, you assume that no one checking here for updates would check the ads in the process. Furthermore, the fact that the pages would receive that many hits for updates would indicate a popularity level that is paying back on revenue, even if the content isn't updated. Subsequently, if the page doesn't update and people stop coming by for updates and the hits reduce, then the advertisers see that and act correspondingly via their contract with Crispy Gamer. You see how that works? It's kind of like they know what they're doing - even without a bunch of loudmouthed assholes flaming forums in their spare time.Seriously, if you all want to stop reading and visiting, do so. Use your power to make a change in something you see

Another note on the promised schedule shit -- I can't even imagine why you would expect someone who you're giving immeasurable amounts of shit, to even worry about meeting your needs as a customer? Frankly, you're the kind of customer worth losing. NO ONE wants to deal with irritating jerkoffs who have some sort of imaginary RIGHT to tell other people how to do their business.Again, yeah - it sucks. But do does being a total douchebag over something you: A) don't controlB) don't pay forC) don't need for your daily lifeD) can't do on your ownI also want more Ding! comics, but unlike you, I don't expect to get them by being a douchebag.

Umm, I'm not chastising you, and I have as much right to my opinion as yours, last I checked. Where do you get off having any sense of self-entitlement to someone else's schedule? I don't remember you paying a subscription fee.Fact is, this is how business works sometimes. Sometimes shit happens. Sometimes deadlines get screwed. Sometimes, projects fail and die. If you had even a turds worth of life experience dealing with the business market, you might understand that. This isn't a fucking Burger King - you do NOT get it your way unless you're PAYING FOR IT.And I'm not acting like anyone's Dad here, that's just stupidity. Whether or not you support him financially is the ONLY relevant thing here. This is his work , it's not your fucking RIGHT. Is that so hard to get? If it is, go into any store or business and try to get your way based on a 'promised' schedule.Ever hear of software release dates?Ever hear of movies getting pushed back?Ever hear of business projects getting cancelled?Ever had your mechanic tell you 'sorry, that part got backordered, it's gonna be another two weeks?'Welcome to the real world, asshole. Get used to it.

I think all the haters out there need to pull your heads out of your asses and realize a couple of things:1) Whether you agree or not, this is an artist's work. Art. He doesn't HAVE to produce jack shit, and he certainly doesn't OWE updates on comics to anyone who's not paying his subscription fee.2) If you don't like it, don't read. It says more about your personality that you'll spend hours writing pissed off hate mail about something like this rather than say produce your own damn art, read a different comic, vote with your wallet, etc. Sure, you may not be getting your personal satisfaction the way you want it, but guess what? That's life!Seriously , I really dig PvP and Ding! a lot and feel the same sense of discouragement when updates don't happen... But at the same time, it's not like I'm PAYING for this. You aren't either, so get off your high horses and go get some work done.
