Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Gunbound was the first game I remember having in game items you could buy with currency that you could also purchase for money. IIRC, they had one currency you could earn in game and another you could buy and each item in the shop had a price for each currency.
I remember thinking what kind of a cash cow that was back then (because wow existed when I first played gunbound and gold farmers also existed at that point and I could see that this model was even better because the owners of the game can just generate things as they need to rather than having to farm it in game) before moving on and never acting on that.
