(Note: I've decided to add my news updates here and link to these from the homepage, so people may discuss them if they like, or just see them if they didn't notice it.)

Hello, Readers. You may have noticed a few changes taking place around the site recently. The most obvious of which is probably that new banner ad currently seated at the top of the news box. This is one of three new ad spots added to the website, thanks to Project Wonderful. Yes, these are advertisements, and I realize people hate advertisements. But these are MY ads, and they help provide funding to keep this website going. And they're from Project Wonderful, so you know the ads are coming from other comics and people like you and me. So, enjoy them. :)

Also new to the site is the forums! The old forums were OLD. I mean, really, really old. They were being held together with bubblegum and scotch tape. It was honestly getting to the point where any change I tried to make would probably cause the code to collapse in on itself. So now the forums have been updated to phpBB3.0 and they're quite stable. I know it'll take some time to get used to the new look, but I'm sure after a while the updates will be appreciated.

Finally, the biggest change is probably the archives! They have been completely updated, and are now being hosted by me, personally. No more ComicGenesis, it's all me. Because they're being hosted by me, I have a lot more control over how things works, including ad spaces. Also, it is now much faster to browse the archives. So, that should be encouraging for any new readers, or old readers who want to go through the archives again. Once again, thank you all for sticking with me. I will now be updating comics every Friday until further notice. So, enjoy the comics, the sites, and the updates to come. :)

Excellent to hear. It's good that you've finally gotten things more independently run now. Changes are warmly welcome...! |D

The funniest thing is that I've already seen an ad for Twokinds through Project Wonderful today. It sure didn't take long. :)

I think that may have caused me actual physical pain.

I like the new archives. It's now a lot easier to find a specific page.

First of all, thank you for the new archives. I felt like stabbing myself when I read through the comic. I would take a lot of guessing to find where I was (Yes Im very forgetful and I dont remember little dates too well). They could use some more organizing, but I'm more than a little happy with the new format.

On a different note. *twitch* never again fast.... *twitch*

Will everything be moved to the twokindscomic.com domain, or will some things stay on 2kinds.com (like the characters page)?

Also, fast, thank you for making me grateful I have Adblock.

</sarcasm>

XD Gotta love the law. *high five*

But I've noticed the new archive, and they look much nicer than before. Also nice not to have everything be calender based. Maybe I'll be able to actually participate in discussions now that I can find reference comics easier.

I wish there was an option for viewing the archive in either the new format or the calendar format...
I often search for comics based upon when I saw them, or need to look up one of the holiday specials...and simple comic numbers make that pretty much impossible...
<<;

Is it just me, or do the old comics look...clearer...
O.o

I may be new, but I liked the older one more.


It was just easier to remember a date then a chapter and page. But I do like the new one to. Definatly makes it easier if you know exactly which chapter you want to look through. Instead of remembering the date.

Being new with a good memory, I had already picked out where the things I might want to check were on the older archive...
Now I have to remember a whole new thing..Sigh..I hate having to think :|
