      Welcome, everyone, to the new 910CMX Community Forums. I'm still working on getting them running, so things may change.  If you're a 910 Comic creator and need your forum recreated, let me know and I'll get on it right away.  I'll do my best to make this new place as fun as the last one!

  1. STORY: Monday March 7, 2016

    Lacking any other justification, anything even remotely resembling a legitimate military target. I suspect Rich would do well to be out of town if that situation should indeed come to pass.
  2. NP, Wednesday March 9, 2016

    According to Dan, part of the issue is that Dan himself for some reason feels uncomfortable about having Ellen turn male. Which is rather meta but nonetheless perfectly valid. A storyteller often does well to trust their instincts.
  3. Opinion and Suggestion About Avatars

    No, the good Professor did indeed create a lot of avatars in the old days. He made mine, too, in fact. I am using the current one as a stopgap while waiting for his response to my piteous pleas for help.
  4. What Are You Doing Right Now?

    Still working on my book. Slow going at the moment but I am approaching the home stretch.
  5. The Weather.

    One time I was out walking on what seemed a perfectly normal sunny day. I was approaching the local mall when the sky suddenly darkened with terriffic speed. I was about ten yards from the entrance when it started pouring. I sprinted the last few steps but STILL got soaked almost through before I made it inside.
  6. Changing Medications (Level of Trust Required)

    I am in fact experiencing something similar these days. I rather often wake up in the middle of the night, stay awake for a couple of hours and then go back to sleep. And I actually feel rather better rested these days for some reason, probably unrelated -- I think I just sleep better in general.
  7. Opinion and Suggestion About Avatars

    I am still trying to sort out my own avatars. I can't find where I saved them, they may be on the hard drive of my dead comp. *sighs*
  8. Tips for new users

    I know precisely where they are. In my head, waiting to be written out anew. *sigh* Please give me a couple of days or three as I am somewhat busy at the moment.
  9. STORY: Wednesday March 9, 2016

    Were the giant velociraptors asian? I thought they'd only been found that big in Utah. I believe that @Sjmcc13 may be referring to Dina in Dumbing of Age, specifically this comic.
  10. NP, Wednesday March 9, 2016

    I am torn. I love some of the forms they have come up with but on the other hand I would like to see something new. Maybe something involving Susan? She hasn't been around even in the main comic for a while.
  11. Check in here -- Welcome back!

    Zorua is a generous soul who is carrying on with an old, old EGS tradition of giving newbie packs to new arrivals. Hopefully we shall soon have a new introductions forum to do it in; I have requested of Robin that he make one.
  12. Crazy Counting Guy

    We will wait patiently for your return. I've rather appreciated having your diligent efforts around and would be glad to see you back.
  13. The Weather.

    Personally I only ever eat actual spaghetti or macaroni. No dubious imitations or substitutes for me. (If you have formatting issues, try Matoyak's excellent posts with tips. I link to them in a pinned post in the General forum.)
  14. EGS Fanfiction!

    The Pundit: In general terms, yes. The reason Dan didn't want fanfiction on these forums was due to legal issues. He didn't want to run into the problems of someone claiming that he had used their ideas. So specific plot points should be kept vague/off site. -- the Moderator
  15. EGS Fanfiction!

    The Pundit: I do not wish to come across as a killjoy, but it has been an old rule here that we do not post fan fictions directly on these forums due to a request from Dan himself. He would prefer not to read them even inadvertently. It is, however, okay to link to them off site as long as the link is clearly marked as leading to fan fiction. -- the Moderator
  16. Story: Tuesday, March 1st, 2016

    I actually ended up with two accounts. I'll ask Robin to delete the other one.
  17. Check in here -- Welcome back!

    Eep! I forgot that. I'll ask Robin to set one up!
  18. EGS Strip Slaying

    Done and done! And yes, the slay is excellent.
  19. Things That Make You Happy

    What makes me happy (and amuses me no end) is to inadvertently look up at a tab and see that it reads, "Robin has sent you a mess..." Said message being the one where he has returned me to moderator status. XD
  20. Things That Make You Happy

    Right on. Good to see everybody again.
  21. Check in here -- Welcome back!

    I'm back and Robin has kindly returned me to moderator status. I will have to reconstruct the FAQ and courtesy rules from the ground up, I suspect, but at least that means I will get to get all the rules we have now in one single easy to read post.
  22. Story: Tuesday, March 1st, 2016

    Robin is working on it. Some of the material may be recoverable. Give him time.
