Sideshow Vote: Igor, are you a loyal servant?

[Rogue Judge]

It seems most of us are pretty old here.

This vote was a clever scheme to find out how old everyone is without having to actually ask.

Probably need to try reading the prog on something larger than my phone.

Oh definately I can't read comics on a phone (well clearly I can but hate it) but on a nice shiny tablet its a perfectly nice experience. If you are lucky enough to be able to get one the largest screen possible works for me - I have a 12' screen (Samsung Galaxy S7 Pro folks here with more tech knowledge swear by iPads) and its basically the same size as a regular US comic. For the Meg (and by extension I assume the Prog, but I get those physically) the dimensions aren't quite as well suited as they are broader and so you lose a little off the height to fit it in, its still absolutely lovely and the images so sharp as to make reading a delight on Tablet.

I do get the desire for physical and if I really like a series or comic I will track down phyisical but where here are barriers to that entirely happy to read digital on a good tablet.

That makes sense Colin, thanks for the tablet info. I've never needed a tablet but could probably justify getting one to read the prog. Makes sense that digital would read better on a screen larger than 5x2 inches. However, I'll still grab physical progs when I find em!

I can remember the forum when it was just a list of nested threads with a picture of Tharg in the corner whose eye would move to follow the position of your cursor. :-)

Well, that Tharg eyeballs thing should definitely be reinstated. And speech bubbles with the word "Drokk!" in them should be generated continuously by the mouse. And this should be somewhere:

Apparently Youtube, Twitter and Facebook are planning a merger.  The new amalgamated platform will be called YouTwitFace.

(Meanwhile, on the stock market, lifts are down and pencils lost a few points...)

I STARTED IN THE 80S AND AM STILL READING.

And yes, I would like the moving eye Tharg back too.

[Daveycandlish]

I was there at the beginning and lapsed but I am back

I left in the early 80s when I discovered nicotine and alcohol (the opposite sex came later, and cost less!) and came back into the fold with the 2000 yearbook/prog/annual/whatever it was called at that point and been a subscriber  for about 20 years now, I think.

MAKE IT SO, MIGHTY ONE!

Mmmm, my plot has been uncovered but you do not have an excuse to reveal your true age. So you have until Wednesday to join the club of man of honor and gentility.

I am going to sound like a millennium now, here is a trophy for everyone when I say there is no losers for this vote because we all that have read the prog are winners.
So basically, most of us started in the 80s then we have a few privilege gentlemen who started right at the epicenter of everything.
But here is the vote (or rather the poll) result:
-   I started in the 80s and I am still reading (8 votes)
-   I started in the 80s and lapsed but I am back (5 votes)
-   I was there at the beginning and lapsed but I am back (3 votes)
-   I started in the 70s and I am still reading (2 votes)
-   I started in the rebellion years, and lapsed but still get the collections (1 vote)
-   I was there at the beginning and here I am still reading (1 vote)
-   Collections Only (1 vote)
-   I started in the 70s and lapsed but I am back (1 vote)
-   I started in the rebellion years, and I am still reading (1 vote)

Interesting only 1 voter was there all the way.
