Save the Chasm!!!
In just over 58 hours from when I posted this message, The Chasm of Strife - thisstrife.com/sluggy/ (who brought you such memorable Keen things as the award-winning "Commander Keen: Ten Years On" and "Prank Call") will finally close its doors forever. I said I'd do it, and I will, now. At 2359hrs and 59 seconds on May 3, the Chasm will become a memory, simply an archive of comics and other Keen stuff.
However! There is a way to squeeze one more drop of vitalin out of this mimrock, as it were. See the latest update on my webpage to find out what you have to do... thisstrife.com/sluggy/tmstindex.htm
(And take a look at my latest Flash while you're at it!)

Re: Save the Chasm!!!
As much as I halfway believe you, I can't bring myself to accept it totally. This wouldn't be the first time that this "Yes, I am going to kill *comic x* off for good" "Kidding!" thing has shown up with your works. Pardon my skepticism.

Re: Save the Chasm!!!
I went to the site, and found a little loophole in your logic, TMST. I quote:
Quote: So tell all your friends and spam-buddies about the Chasm of Strife (ThisStrife.com/sluggy/) and get them to visit and tell all THEIR friends etc so that we can get 1000 hits before the end of May 3.
Due to a probable typo on your part, we only have to hit 1000 hits to have you put up your extra little ditty, and as you said yourself, it's already hit 9,037. Looks like you've reached your goal (by over nine times, no less!).

Re: oops
What you were probably thinking at the time was "10,000 hits" rather than 1000. (All this trouble over a missing zero!)

Welcome, TMST, to the company of fallen artists, craftsmen and musicians, on the way down..
those, whose methods of portrayal have been utilized and exploited by the increasingly bureaucratic ( ) institutions of the internet...

Nah I meant to say "a further 1000", since I'dalread ymentioned the goal of 10,000 and didn't want to scare everyone away with the big number-with-a-comma-in-it.
Well, it is done.
