Talk:Webcomics Nation

downtime
The site is down at the moment. Anyone know how long it has been down, or whether it's likely to return? A couple of other major webcomics host sites have gone away in the last year or so. —Tamfang (talk) 05:51, 6 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Webcomics Nation is likely to be totally and permanently defunct. The site's founder, Joey Manley passed away in late 2013. And I've heard that some webcomic accounts were transferred to hosts like ComicFury. Mr. ATOZ (talk) 22:46, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Webcomics Nation, ComicSpace, and closure
Frustratingly, I cannot find any confirmation that the merger between ComicSpace and Webcomics Nation ever truly happened. All sources that talk about it predate the event, and I can find no mention on it on Manley's TalkAboutComics blog. Interestingly, it seems ComicSpace actually moved to Webcomics Nation in 2013? But there are no sources on this either, not even a freakin' forum post. Could anyone shed more light on the evolving relationship between these platforms? I am unable to find a source that specifies when ComicSpace closed down (I know Manley's website closed down in April 2013, but ComicSpace was founded and co-owned by Roberts, so it may not apply). Thank you very much to anyone who knows any more on this subject. ~ Maplestrip/Mable ( chat ) 08:56, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I managed to find some information on the 2008 mergers on Manley's blog . Not sure if we should use any of these, but I'm very glad I found a confirmation that the merger was still a thing in 2009 at least. Still nothing on the 2011-2013 period that I am most interested in. ~ Maplestrip/Mable  ( chat ) 09:02, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

I will note that in the current status box.
