The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I used to write and sell shareware circa 2000. I got annoyed at cracked versions of my software showing up without fail a day or two after I released stuff, so one time I wrote and released an app named "Magic Text Box" which was nothing but a form with a big text box on it. It didn't do anything at all and it didn't even have any kind of protection on it. Two days later somebody released a cracked version of it. To this day I still do not understand how that person had nothing better to do.
When someone releases a “crack” of software that doesn’t need a crack, it’s normally just injected with malware to catch the script kiddies.
We were all having fun back then.
I am tempted to find that thing but sadly google is not that accurate anymore.
I can't even find my own real apps, let alone Magic Text Box.
just write em again, because magic txt box sounds fun!
