--- The Respect Threads "Squad" ---

Started by Galan00712 pages

It'd be nice to see more people make respect threads, but I understand not wanting to commit, because it can be tedious depending how much material you're sifting through.

Hell, I had a Sinestro RT all ready to go. It covered all of his post-Crisis showings up to his DCnU solo series... but I had already uploaded all the scans to PB(this was a few years back when it originally started having issues), and I never got around to uploading them to a new host.

If i were to make a RT now, I'd upload with imgur for sure. That's what I used for my Maker thread, and all the scans are still working just fine. I can't think of a more reliable host currently...

That being said, I am working on a revamped Mxy thread. It will be ready pretty soon.

Imgur is a problem, in that the uploaded images are deleted after a certain while. I don't know if it's changed...or maybe if you have a registered account they don't?

Galan, any comment?

I haven't used imgur enough to know.

As long as you register, imgur doesn't auto-delete images to my knowledge.

The stuff I originally uploaded to imgur over 6 years ago still works fine, for example.

Great.

I'll have to check my respect threads (Brainwave, Question, Ultra-Humanite, and Dr Occult). I suspect all the links are f'd now as I had to delete a heap of images on both sites. I know its the case on a couple other sites where at least 2 dozen respect threads I made now have only broken links

Phil I'd be hugely interested in your blue Superman Thread.

Turboimagehost, imgbb and imgur are worth recommending.

Photobucket is dying and postimg is kinda buggy.

I've no problem with postimg.

Last time I went to use photobucket it told me I couldnt post scans unless I paid for an account (which isnt happening) as I had too many.

Hense why I deleted heaps.

This means I need to get more selective in postimg scans to have reasonable respect threads (i.e where I can make one scan do where I use two or three). Considering using something like photo grid to take the panels needed from a couple or few pages and put them on one. Only problem is that makes ot too easy to exclude context which is a problem I have with some respect threads.

Tell that to your broken Guardians thread vin

Aside from that awful org-->cc migration, it has other flaws.

Ah yes, that shit was annoying.

F*ck imgur for requesting my phone number 👆

You couldn't skip that part? Weird.

https://imgbb.com/ is pretty good, but I have no idea if it'll last.

Imgur stood the test of time, I guess, but it does weird shit from time to time - such as asking viewers for age verification.

Those are comic books, not some hardcore triple anal penetration scenes or stuff from rotten dot com.

It's high time Apoc got some respect on KMC. Thanks again 👆

I've literally just registered on imgbb, lol.

It sucks that I can't upload images directly from links, only hard drive...or I haven't found how to yet.

edit: nvm. found it.

Looks good?

Works fine, yes 👆

...it should be over by wednesday, at the latest.

Done 🙂

Wow, that was quick shock

Great job 👆 Nice to see you kept it pure 616 canon for our KMC purposes, too.

Yeah, I tried to keep it as 'clean' as possible - so all the 'beating Stryfe in the future' and whatnot I left out. Same thing applies to the 'tanking Black Bolt scream' -- his powerlevel during that feat [given that he was draining the others] was not 'base', so I didn't put it.

The T-VO part [i.e. he can infect people with it at will] is something that I didn't see on the forum at all, tbh, so I figured I'd make it a small section.

One thing I could probably add is how in 80% of those instances Apocalypse is not at full power, since he was awakened early in the 80s/90s -- he was 'only' at full power starting from around the Onslaught Saga.

Because of the photobucket and other issues I've been considering updating Kang's respect thread. I also would like to do a Diablo respect thread and maybe some other villain characters down the line
