Thank you, Edminster, for your hard work and making this dream a reality!

I see this as an experiment and I hope you all enjoy this forum! Otherwise, I look forward to your hate-PMs...kind of.
I figured the links from the comic pages would help bring new users into the forums and encourage them to comment. Splitting the discussion into topics about each individual comic is a way to keep things organized and relatively on topic. I figured talking about more general stuff about SMBC could be done in the main SMBC forum. I felt keeping all the comic commenting into one thread made things a bit hard to follow, even a little intimidating (I've been a longtime lurker myself), especially when the conversation is 291 pages long. There are obvious drawbacks from using this method of discussion based off of forum behavior given the diversity of things that could be discussed about a single comic. Either the discussion will be more lively or will become rather sparse. I'm hoping that with the large SMBC fan base, that this method will work. Only time will tell. So we will have to wait and see how this works out. If negative feedback is intense and activity is low, then I am sure that everything could be combined into one thread via the former method.
Please give it a shot and hopefully you will like it!

Thanks again to Edminster and all those who participate in this forum! I look forward to reading your feedback. Cheers!
