	If the lj one isn't brought back, I'm going to suggest to the mods going with something like the iheart commuinties. Full friends lock, mod approval to join. Should keep us safe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm worried about losing a space where as a female fan I didn't feel I was going to get shit because I didn't like the treatment of a female character. Or had to hide the fact I was a slasher. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yes. The backlash I've been watching from regular fanboys is overwhelming, and far out of proportion to a site going down. It's vindictive and ugly. Our entire style of conversation is twitted as a reason we are not as good as, say, most blogs, or comic boards.

It's as if they're completely ignoring full pirate sites like the numerous viral sites and 4chan, demonoid, and z-cult. The latter two have been shut down but never had the hate from other fans blasted at them.

There's something inherent about s_d that irritates most comics fans, and it ain't piracy!

But those pirate sites are /male/ dominated spaces. /co/ and /pco/ have been having fits lately because female (and male) slashers have invaded their space (some of us had to literally shove people from the Watchmen threads onto lj to keep people from being driven off by trolls), which is why there is no /coq/ - so they don't have to see it.

This is not to say that I think that sort of attitude is the majority one for male fans (whether they be comics, video games, role playing ,etc) just the more vocal ones.

I think because scans_daily started as mostly slash based its original members were mostly female slashers, so that those that joined later be they male or female had to at least tolerate that talking about slashing, fanfiction, and more serious topics like 'Women in Refrigerators'.

At the end we were not a female dominated space or even a 'safe' space but a space more accepting than many comic forums out there. Our darkest period was ironically during Marvel's Civil War I think, when teh_no still made himself...known.

	Well, at least there's a backup place to put new posts. Mostly, though, I grieve for the archives. :( sniff I miss being able to read all the Zatanna and Hellblazer and Neil Gaiman stuff already. So I hope it's back soon. (Reply to this)

Completely offtopic, but I love your icon.

I'd be much more interested in rodeos if they had scientists riding gigantic amoebas and shit. And the announcers would give mini-lessons about the particular amoeba/virus/bacterium/protozoan/whatever they're riding.

"Whoa, it looks like Dr Stephenson there is riding in on Giardia lamblia!"

"You betcha, Chad! It looks like its little wiggly cilia are trying to strangle the good doctor!"

	A-men. I literally only just found out about this. I missed out on an entire day and night's worth of posts. Fail, LJ, fail. It's ridiculous though. How many years has scans_daily been going on LJ now? Surely it'll be back to normal soon? hopes madly (Reply to this) (Thread)

"missed out on an entire day and night's worth of posts."

Hah! I was 3 WEEKS behind and was looking foward to tomorrow and some major catching up, nearly had a fit when I found out what was happening!

(Definitely a lesson on 'not putting off to tomorrow what you can read today' in there somewhere I guess...And I Was really enjoying the Batman No Mans Land posts as well...I read it a couple of years back, after it already been out for a while, but didn't know anyone else at the time who'd read it. And so I was looking forward to comments on it, as that to me was the most fun aspect of Scans Daily, seeing other people's reactions to your favourite stories...)

Damn! I too mourn for the loss of the archives..So much goodness lost to the ether.. (SOB!)

	Aw no, that's pretty shit. I recently did a long catch-up of about three months or more (you know how things just get away from you) and I'm glad I finished that. I was planning to do a Superdictionary overdose though ... all that cracky goodness, stolen by LJ. Grr! (Reply to this) (Parent)
