Happy Scanniversary!

[stubbleupdate]

I gave the mods a heads up, but didn't hear anything back, so I'll make the post that Fifteen Years Today, Scans_daily was permanently suspended from LiveJournal.

What a Saturday morning that was!
Stubbleupdate: I crawled out of bed on Saturday morning (which meant that the community would have been deleted late evening/night on Friday, America time) and saw that my inbox had a lot of LJ friends requests from people on the community. I get that sometimes, but four overnight is unusual. They all wanted to know where the community had gone, which is the first that I had heard of it. A lot can happen in six hours on the internet.

And the oral history
What the mods said
What Comicvine said
What Comics Should Be Good said
What MGK said
What Fanlore says
What Kevin Church said (the page is gone, but he said "fuck 'em")
What Peter David said
What Peter David said later
Welcome to Noscans_daily

The community has persisted, in some form, over the last 15 years. There has been a churn of members, some new posters establishing themselves, some posters vanishing. Some I've lost contact with (whatever happened to the poster who posted DIAF? I wonder how she feels). Some I've stayed friends with. And some I've kept an eye on because they're fascinating creatures to be studied.

And, since this is likely my last post here, and I was a mod on two communities, Ask Me Anything and I'll answer as honestly as I can.

[superboyprime]

"I sat next to Neal Adams three years at Continuity and his attitude was that no matter what it is, if it’s a commercial and it’s an advertisement for Twinkies or whatever, it’s all the same: You give it your best shot. And a lot of people… the reason toy books and licensed book never sold is that they paid so low that everybody that would even deign to do them thought they were crap and would just knock the stuff out." - Larry Hama
