NEWS AROUND THE KINGDOM: UPGRADES! UPGRADES! UPGRADES!

There’s a crisis of toxicity online. The social platforms meant to bring us together are pushing us apart. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Websites often have a love-hate relationship with their comment sections: on the one hand, they’re a sign of reader loyalty, a great way to engage with communities, and receive direct feedback, but they can also devolve into toxic cesspools if left unmoderated driving everyone away.

So, today we’re excited to announce that Comics Kingdom is moving its commenting platform to OpenWeb. We want to enable everyone in the community to participate freely, in a fresh, streamlined manner – and ensure the best community experience possible.

By moving to OpenWeb, here are just a few of the things Comics Kingdom will provide:

• Personalized Notifications
• Polls & Reactions
• Easier comment sorting
• Upgraded User Profiles

…and much more!

Now on to the unfortunate news. In migrating to our new commenting platform, we could not retain a few things, most notably pre-existing comment history and user profiles. We understand this is an inconvenience; However, we believe the benefits of switching to a new platform far outweigh this pain point as we continue building the best website for comic fans. Period.

To help ease that transition, here are a few FAQs to help:
