So, I have a fairly hard to find comic series on my hard drive, it happens to be almost 150 chapters long though, the first chapters date back over 10 years so, I was wondering how I should go about releasing it. It is 1.62 GB in size though so....that is THAT to deal with. Any suggestions people?

Thanks in advance.

First, you need to find two sites that will host them for free, then find out what is the largest size file the site lets you download for free, since most of them have a limit on the size of the free downloads. Break it up into the biggest parts that you can and post away!

[Shindou]

Yeah, I can figure that out, the question is, am I really supposed to get a synopsis and cover image for all 147 chapters? Oh, and nothing I ever upload will be on a site that pays me, I find that unconscionable.
Then there is the question of how to release them to get the most WRZ, since I think I seen something about collections only getting 40 max, and 40 seems a tad low for something this large. Not to sound greedy, but I have a few books I would like to request but cannot afford to reward people.

That's all gone. Now you have to rely on people giving you a "Thumbs up" click. For every click you get WRZ$1.


As far as requests are concerned, offer the minimum (WRZ$10) and also start looking if you can fulfill some requests. That way you will earn enough to request more.

Unfortunately, I am afraid I have to look like an ass here, I have a very small bandwidth limit from my ISP, so I am not going to be wasting nearly 4% of it to hope people hit the thanks button, I have seen far too many releases where no one says thanks, I do, but it seems most do not. I'm really not greedy, but I cannot justify the effort it is going to take to make the release up to snuff so to say for this forum. Maybe in the future I'll do this release, but it just went from high priority down to low priority.

Would you guys mind telling me if you are interested in the Witchblade series?

Not to change your mind or anything like that, but those releases with 0 thanks are almost all older posts that have already been rewarded under the old system. All newer releases get at least 1 thanks by the Mod who categorizes it. I believe the only way the older releases even get the thumbsup system is when a change is made to it. Just an FYI.

[Shindou]

Still, once the thread has been changed over, you would think the people who download the file after would hit +1. I know I am one of the rare few who always +'s something if I download it. It is human nature to be thankless online it seems.

[Bohica60]

Oh, I agree. It was the main reason I was opposed to the new system. But ...?

[Shindou]

Ehh, time will reveal the fallacy in relying on human generosity here, just as it has been everywhere else. Until then, those of us who are naturally thankful will continue to do as we always have.

wrz$ isn't real money, and had very little used, so I don't see what the point is. I have one of the most viewed collections on here and have only 14 thumbs up, and most have been download over 10,000+ times

[Shindou]

It has a great use to me, I have been searching for a few extremely hard to find books, I would LIKE to be able to offer enough for a request that would motivate people to find them, that and having VIP would be nice. And you also have no need for wrz, so I doubt you feel the same about having that few likes compared to those downloads as a non mod/admin.

I do it cause I love sharing stuff for free. Not for any personal gain, but to simply share what I have, for others that don't.

In the past two months this system has been live, more than 50,000 thumb ups have been given. An amount far greater than had ever been realized on a daily basis via the "donate" button. We will eventually have its complete integration into the system.

I do! I seem to have lost my witchblade comics. Why don't you release this ? You might get a surprise coming up,

[Shindou]

Ok then, time to figure out the split lol, I'm sure you can imagine how many that will be....any issue you would like me to release first?

I got some time to do some searching, a few of Witchblade comics have been released as you can see from this :

So, basically, any issues which haven't been released will enrich our comics database and be much appreciated. Just follow the site template guidelines on How to Post or see samples of correctly released comics,
