Hello! Odds are if you're reading this you got linked here from another site, or noticed the spam I'm going to be posting shortly after this.

Long story short I'm deleting my webcomic, Catihorn, from it's original host comicfury entirely, and I plan to temporarily have the pages uploaded here while I sort out a new hosting situation, and work on redeveloping the comic. (some of which I'll be posting if you're looking for updates. I have been working on it, I'm just still swamped with a very clingy baby, and working on fixing some things I had problems with in the comic itself.) Might take me a day or two to get it all updated, but it'll all be here soon.

To add a bit for anyone wondering why I'm doing this, comicfury is a toxic cesspit of a website. It honestly wasn't always like this. When I first joined on it was a perfectly fine website, arguably the best free host out there, and I made some pretty great friends while I was there, but it's changed dramatically for the worst. A major part of the sites population is made up by nazi sympathizers, openly violent sexist/racist/homophobic people, and generally it's become a place where it's seen as perfectly acceptable to espouse disgusting hateful views. Sure, shitheads exist on every platform, but comicfury is a small echo chamber, and it's not a small minority making up the problem, but the vast majority of the userbase.

I don't want my work associated with that. I'll be screen-capping the wonderful comments I've received on there from readers, and I of course have all fanart saved, but I'm going to wipe all creative works of mine from cf. It really does bother me to have to do this, comicfury has one of the better site interfaces out there for free webcomic hosting, and there's a lot of history there, but it's not worth keeping up even a mirror on such an awful place.

I'm pretty unhappy things played out like this, but they did. Thankfully this will be a step towards moving to bigger and better things, and more, significantly better planned, Catihorn is in the future. Love you guys!

Kinda late to this "party" but I 100% agree on leaving CF for that very same reason.
Wishing you good luck on your new and improved Catihorn-to-come :meow:
