Scans issues

[mithen]

For obvious reasons (*coughscans_daily cough*) I'll be flocking any scans posts from now on.  If you friend me and have commented on my LJ or have an LJ with content on it, though, I'll friend you back...

I'm hoping individuals pick up the slack a little, but without a central location...well, they'll lose a lot of business, frankly. Short-sighted.

I know! Scans_Daily was like free advertisement for them. Entertainment for us, yes, and a good place to find both new comics and look up background on, for example, characters we didn't know who turned up in fanfiction, but free advertising for them. People bought comics because they saw them on Scans_Daily and saw they were good. Not everyone can make it to a comics store regularly, and not every store has every comic, so this was a great resource for people who have to special order anything really good they want into a local comic shop or bookstore, or even mail-order. For crying out loud, if not for Scans_Daily, not only would I not ship Captain America and Iron Man, I wouldn't even know enough about either to have even watched the recent Iron Man movie. I am not even kidding. It was also a vibrant, enjoyable community. I really wish I knew who got it shut down, so I could just tell them that. I wouldn't even yell at them or anything unless they started it. *sigh*
