As of January 23, 2024, ComicServer and ComicServer Daily are inoperational.
ComicServer has been my favorite and best project for the better part of four years. But in 2024, I re-evaluated ComicServer’s reasons to, well, exist. I realized that ComicServer has gone way past what it originally was supposed to be: a time-waster during the pandemic.
I’d completed the core goals for ComicServer almost two years ago. Since Muncie 6 (or December 2022 for the Gregorians) I had just made new ComicServer versions out of interest and love for the project itself. When I finished Muncie 14 in June, I decided that I wanted to take a break from new monthly versions of ComicServer. The first and only major version after the hiatus was Muncie 15 in October.
Now, in January, I’ve decided to stop hosting ComicServer online for three reasons, the first being that I have no interest in the project anymore. After Muncie 14, I looked back on the staggering amount of work and effort I’ve put into ComicServer and it’s counterparts and decided that was enough. The second reason is that since late 2022, Replit has been slowly degrading their free user experience until they completely stopped allowing website hosting to be free earlier this month. The third reason is that I believe after almost four years of constant work on one project that I should start from scratch and cut off the sludge of code that has been collecting (in this case) since April 2021 when I forked my ComicServer Discord Bot Dashboard to make ComicServer v4.
Bye ComicServer!
