Default Calvin and Hobbes link

hi all,

congrats! the C&H site is down. I'm guessing that the increased traffic got it pulled, lol.

Universal Syndicate is pretty zealous about keeping unauthorized strips off the net , btw. There was a much nicer site out there before, a real tribute site whose designer put a ton of work into it. The syndicate shut that one down as well.

what can you do? it's a business.

John

It's working for me, John -- try changing the ".html" to ".htm". And I doubt that my newspost was responsible for any traffic spike they suffered. It's a nice thought, but a quick Google search reveals that the page has been linked from much bigger sites than my humble abode.

However, the News page does have a respectable clickthrough rate. The incidental link I made to Bryan Lambert's YouAreDumb.net when I borrowed his device of ACTUAL QUOTE TIME brought him about 150 visitors (like me, Bryan's a stat-watcher). And I don't think my link to Enterprise Oddities last year was solely responsible for ivymae's server trouble, but I do think it helped.

Welcome to the forums, by the way. Why not pull up a username and make yourself comfortable?

Pi as also available, but you have to ask NAHTMMM about that one special.

Come to think of it, I've not seen much of him or KJ around here of late...

Ack! Zeke! It's not working for me either! (It was, and now it isn't)

Has it been pulled, or if not, what do I need to type?

(I tried every concievable [at least I thought] combination of .htm .html and / 's)

I think someone said elsewhere that it's been pulled, yes.
