Now that the comic is back on a regular schedule I may get into the habit of clicking their, but usually I would see the thread here and go there, then come back and read it. OotS's quality rises and falls quite a bit also, but bad streaks can be horrible. (Sluggy's bad streak drove away a lot of people, I'm reading it again, but lots of folks I know won't go back. A good portion of them also left OotS and won't go back.)I think fair feedback, mixed reactions is a good thing, but most of the threads are raving about every strip likes it's comedic gold. The OotS clique (like the Sluggy clique) rave so much sometimes that trends continue way past the point where they've driven folks away.For the general ENWorld stuff, everyone thinks they're right, they always do, and compromise is very rare on the Internet, given the lack of a real social cost.(Luckily for me, my personal strip is at my whim, and the couple dozen regular readers are mostly folks I know, so I can ignore their opinions at my leisure. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
