true, I'm glad its back but I definitely hope he'll implement something about the issues you brought up

`Peyo` glad to hear it! Please do keep the site going! I'll admit, this site has a touch more appeal to me due to better features and better management, but hopefully the additional community can ignite that creative spark in more individuals, and perhaps create a larger interlinked community of comic artists!

`nooz` I'm only framing it a touch negatively since the site had glaring issues which he ignored. Of course you can have a life, and that makes a lot of sense. But the site didn't protect minors safely, was overrun by trolls, and still had significant bugs (jams that wouldn't end, drawing tools that would break, site lag etc.)
I don't begrudge him for it, but the site was basically a train wreck and I think it was a responsible decision to shut it down due to his lack of adequate time. My hope is that with the return of the site he can put a bit more time into it and hopefully make the site a safe place to use ^^ But to clarify, I don't think he's awful as a person, just that the site wasn't handled adequately when it was up last time.

you use whatever you prefer - chutney will be here no matter what (come rain or shine)
I wonder if this means we are rivals now 🤔

Been hunting down the thread around one of the first time hearing the site shutting down
https://www.paneljam.com/forum/threads/ask-me-anything-929ee965-04b8-4e1d-be75-08d7eccc927a/
"It really has been! I've been busy. I got married, I have a baby, and two business... life is good but I'm definitely 'time poor'. I'd like to spend a couple of hours per month simply smoothing out bugs and the like..."
I'd just assume the 3 years while it was gone was more of the same of him not having the time to dedicated to paneljam, dude's got a life outside of this ya know, family and all, so I don't really like framing him negatively because of this

`nooz` That depends on his reason for the shutdown. Overall, he was not giving the site much attention. I mean, even before shutting it down he was basically absent for at least the couple years I was on. (Peyo, while busy, is quite easy to reach!) I'm not saying I didn't enjoy Panel Jam, and it's neat to hear it went back up too, but to be completely honest, the setup here is a bit... better? At least, I remember drawing on Panel Jam being sorta difficult.
