So this is like pearl harbour meets 9/11 meets the holocaust meets the holodomor meets the irish potato famine meets the killing fields for comic books and yet no one is talking about it?
>>155138740After they deleted all comments like 2-3 years ago this site was not fun anyway
>>155138740Only one of those is fake.
>>155138778Pearl Harbor definitely happened.
>>155138740there is an alternative up
>>155138785Yes
>>155138740Oh.. I miss you so much
>>155138778just can't stop taking shots at Ireland can you
I predict this will reduce comics sales in a measurable way.
>>155138740Remember when Z-Cult died?Remember when MediaFire was kill?DCP still exists. It doesn't matter.
>>155139348>MediaFire was killthe file sharing one? I thought it still existone of the best one out there. few ads
>>155138740watchcartoononline was worsenow we only have wcofun where we have to sit through these shitty ai ads
>>155138907Quiet you!
>>155139452You're right, I was thinking MegaUpload. The one that got V&.
>>155138740Piracy shouldn't be normie friendly.
>>155138740there are literally like hundred of alternatives
>>155138740
>>155138740>and yet no one is talking about it?And no one talked about comics even when it was up.
>>155139348>Remember when MediaFire was kill?Yes I was there same as megaupload, rapidshare and many others.
>>155138740And nothing of value was lost.t. physical media CHAD
>>155138778Only one?
>>155138740>>155138968>>155138990>>155140170>Relying on RCOFucking idiotsAll of you
>>155138740is there any new site i wanna get back to reading shit
>>155138907Anon, this is a FUD thread. Shills get paid to spam this site with threads about how piracy is over and now we all just have to buy shitty 20 page comic books for $5 each.
>>155138990>reduce salesThere has never been a comic series whose sustainable success hinged on piracyA large portion of pirates aren't even Americans to begin with so their money and opinions are objectively worthlessThe sales line for what is considered sustainable or above cancelation is so low that you either pass it or you don't Piracy does not play a major influence on it whatsoever
>>155138778Two, holo- means fake as in hologram.
>>155138907the one with ads and four issues of sanic comic? get out
>>155141771there was a convenience to it
>>155141824it means whole as in hologram, "whole drawn", as in being drawn in 3Djust get your GED, for your mom's sake, so she can say you're doing something with your life
>2026>We somehow have newfags who don't know how piracy sites even get the comics to begin withLikewise, I'm kind of surprised the morons on Xitter who think RCO was the driving place for people to scan and rip haven't at least lurk /co/ at least once
>>155141882You know, we can have discussions about RCO without arguing about whose new and who isn't
>>155141803I kinda remember a storytime here on /co/ giving some indie book a bump in sales. Big enough where the creators gave us a shout-out.
>>155141902I know what you're talking aboutIt was something by Steve Lieber IIRC and he made a whole blog post about itThat said, it was still an outlier and the sales boost itself didn't lastWhen was the last time /co/ was instrumental to ANYTHING being popular?
>>155138740Shut the fuck up Paco
>>155141901How else will I feel superior to others on a Mongolian basket-weaving forum?
>>155142226Rude Tyrone
>>155138778Nah I'm pretty sure those Irishmen starved to death
>>155140620>tfw when 4chan's rapidshare board is how I downloaded all my music, anime, and roms back in college
>>155142035Outside of political stuff, the last time this site as a whole helped influence anything popular was Undertale. The only other thing older than that was the It's Your Fault I'm Not Popular manga.
>>155142035>When was the last time /co/ was instrumental to ANYTHING being popular?MLP. /co/ literally built that fandom although revisionists who hate 4chan for being le evil problematic nazis try to deny it now. But everyone in the early fandom who went on to make OC, YTPs, other fandom websites etc that brought it to wider attention was from here.
>>155142642To be fair, 4chan was still just "le edgy loser" site to most people at that point.
>>155142872That reminds meAs much as people give shit to people who are new here (and believe me, it's warranted in certain cases) 4chan is oddly incapable of nostalgic discussion for anything starting around the early 2010's unless it was already something this place liked to begin with.Late Gen Z nostalgia is everywhere on the internet and there are dedicated followings still making art and cracking jokes for games and shows that the Anons here never likedThose people are not Anons and will never be Anons because 4chan isn't a destination like it once was
>>1551435274chan died in like 2013. The only real people who are still here (like me) are terminally addicted. There is NOTHING of actual value on this site. It's pure scrooling addiction and it would be an unqualified positive if this hellhole shut down.
>>155143561There are some diamonds in the rough Storytime threads for starters which can introduce people to comics they'd otherwise have never read and I still choose it over traditional social media or a Discord server but yeah, 4chan has stagnated at best
>>155143527>4chan is oddly incapable of nostalgic discussion for anything starting around the early 2010's unless it was already something this place liked to begin withLike what? I'm having trouble even imagining what you're referring to. MLP? We have a whole board for that. Adventure Time? Regular Show? Gravity Falls? Gumball? /co/ talks about those all the time. What early 2010s shows doesn't /co/ discuss?
>>155143648The actual board culture, the numerous and (semi) beloved Tripfags, Daytime /co/ vs Nighttime /co/, us actually trying to put together a comics magazine called Premier Pulp!, the "/co/ is love" era, the fact that it was /co/ vs tumblr originally, things like that.
>>155143648This is gonna sound stupid but bare with me on this, Ninjago for starters As for vidya it's stuff like Skylanders and Angry BirdsYes yes I know it's laughable but those IPs are a decade and a half old already and yet I've never seen Anons express childhood nostalgia for them or a bunch of Anons getting discussion going off of nostalgia alone the same way Kids who grew up on that stuff should be old enough to post here and you can easily still find those IPs and others like them having active communities onlineJust not on 4chan
>>155139793watchu talking about ladmost streaming sites have cartoons, and they pop up like the fucking hydra. coincidentally, that was the name of one of them. then it was gone, and several more appeared in its place.
>>155141882I know several comic piracy sites, a handful for purely downloading as well, but RCO was by far the one with the best features and largest library for a comic reader. It was especially helpful since a lot of what they had was also not easily downloaded elsewhere, just a huge backlog of older comics.
>>155141771How's the weather up there on (you)r high horse?
kek, there was a basically identical thread on /a/ and it got quickly deleted.
Well the Holodomor is news to me (history is written by the sore winners in certain continents)
>>155144626For some reason communists felt there was an extreme urgency in industrialization so they just starved tens of millions of random peasants to death for no real reason.
>>155138740I could never stand to read anything there and better piracy options are readily available, but it was a convenient way to thumb through an issue if I wanted to see something quickly. Especially if a random footnote has me curious about Ant-Man's suicide.
