Completely embarrassed to admit I just got this joke four days after first reading it. NICELY PLAYED.

Can I still get worked up about Onstad's business model?

1. Make a great comic that updates every so often.
2. Stop producing new content.
3. Charge for a special place you can log in and not see the non produced new content?

Seems sound to me.

Click on "Discuss", and in the upper-right hand corner, you will see the familiar "Join/Login" icon. Click "Login", and AssetBar is back in business!

the "discuss" link for recent strips points to an invalid page.  If you are logged in, then you get the error "invalid"  if you are not logged in, and you click the invalid "discuss" link, after logging in your are redirected to the last 'valid' assetbar page.  Once logged in, clicking "next" will not show the next comic, since as far as assetbar is concerned, there are no more recent valid pages.  However you can click next from the achewood.com front page and it will show you the next strips, sans assetbar discussion since as far as assetbar is concerned, these strips don't exist yet.

basically what happened is that Onstad outsourced assetbar to a monkey on a keyboard who in turn outsourced it to maybe a chicken or a lizard or something who in turn outsourced it to Arachno-capitalist who is too busy sending PMs that say "Fuck You" to do his job right.

As far as achewood is concerned assetbar is a thing of the past.

Computer science uses electric machines (computers for example). A computer scientist will need math, science, and know-how to make and use computers.

The assbar comment feature is still down. Not just making new comments, but the entire history and evidence that commenting ever existed is gone. This is how it should be.
See, I don't get this. What's with the open hostility toward assetbar over here? I've spent a great amount of time there and I've lurked here semi-regularly. I've seen what both have to offer and I just can't get my mind around the prevalent air of superiority around here.

Listen. This is what's up: Assetbar is a party. A loud one. A sweaty one. With dancing. Yes, there are a few overly drunken, disagreeable sorts in the corners. Maybe a prostitute smoking crack in the upstairs bathroom. Maybe some goth bitch who won't put out her damn disgusting clove. But it's still a party. It's full of interesting people having a good time. Sometimes they may get a little carried away, but it's all in the spirit of celebration. It's a raucous good time.

OK, now I'm leaving the party which is assetbar and entering the adjoining room which is TOUAMB. It's quiet. It smells nice. There are a couple of dudes in cardigans sitting around a fireplace drinking Chianti from fine crystal goblets. They speak in even tones. They never interrupt one another. They nod politely and give a good-natured chuckle. No one's yelling. There are no fist fights. No wild-eyed revelers. In fact, there's....not much....of anything.

I get fidgety. This room is relaxing and calm, but before long I'm just sitting there wondering what's happening over at that crazy party I just left.

See what I'm saying? Safer and quieter doesn't mean better. Yes, assetbar has its problems, but it's an interesting place to be. For every one braindead troll there are ten not just funny, but seriously creatively gifted posters. Have you seen some of the photoshop work that's come out of that place? From what I've seen of this place it seems like the main topic of discussion is how this place is better than assetbar. Seriously, guys - I've skipped around a lot and I see this come up all the time.

I just don't get it. I like that this place exists and all, but why you gotta play it that way?

I think that these are all fair questions. Unfortunately I have no assetbar experience (I had an account there, but never used it much), or I'd pipe in with better input, but I just wanted to say that I find your description of TOUAMB hilarious - if it's accurate or not, I don't really care. But dialogue is always nice. As it seems that TOUAMB is getting some new members from assetbar, I can only encourage this type of frank approach. Also, welcome aboard.
