SMBC Comics Forum

I've been working on a PHP script to manage a comic strip. So far it's got a nice admin interface to upload the comic, make a description, SEO optimized, it's really easy to use, and I've built it all from scratch. I'm going to release it as an open source project soon as I get a few more known bugs worked out. It has comment support, and RSS feeds. It's a very light weight script, and requires not database, it's all flat files and xml.

Anyways, I was wondering how many would be interested in using it or getting involved in the project.

Yar, i'll submit a demo soon if there is an interest, otherwise I'll publish it on source forge someday

I've always wanted to start a webcomic, but I have a handicap, because I'm a terrible artist and I'm not very funny.

DOESN'T STOP ME!

I'd like to see how usable it is. I'm uploading crap to smackjeeves, so I doubt I'll be able to use it.

I'm a poop head.

But yeah, eventually when I know how to internets I'd love to use it for my comic.

I think the only person who knows about coding is Twobuy. Although I heard HARDKORE has some sick html skills.

Doesn't Twobuy work for Microsoft? That gives him quite a large advantage in the whole "knowing code" side of things.

This still makes me laugh.

Have you guys thought of any jokes to make fun of me with? I'd love to have one!

Save it for forumbattle (henceforth referred to as siffb). We don't care enough to think of jokes like that.

But I have an old one I could reuse.

That's exactly why I said he was the only one.

I'd be interested in taking a look at it, I'm a .NET developer by trade but I have a lot of experience with PHPBB/Wordpress/Drupal. Toss it up on Source Forge or Google Code imo.

I've got it on my todo list, I will probably throw it up on google code.

I'm pretty good with scripts. I just don't do much with it very often outside of work stuff. Mostly because it'd mean learning all the newer stuff out there and I haven't gotten around to it yet.

I'd be interested in it though, posting it somewhere like google code we could get at it would be neat.

don't forget MarTAY! that dude has mad codemonkey capabilities

Yeah, but he's around even less than your brother, if that's even possible.
