@smilingdemon They're scumbags, always have been, and I am amazed they're still around after all this time. I used them for a little while around 2010-2012 but had a falling out.

@jlroberson so I keep hearing. I have never used them myself, but was just a name I recongnised when I saw it, so thought that maybe there would be some out there who did and were not aware :)

@smilingdemon They decided to censor my work after allowing it up for two years and I pulled everything. That was the first of many such encounters I've had with similar services, but they were rudest about it. That was back when you could still publish physical comics(and merch) through them--I dunno if that's still the case.
I use Society6 as my merch maker now
