Call it pirated if you like, but it's not easy to find all of that art. I have no idea where to find some of those artists, and some of the scanned comics were rare and do not exist elsewhere on the internet at all. Compiling all of that stuff in one place was a great service. I'm sorry to see it go. Not surprised, however. It's surprising that they were able to keep it running for so long.
