Apparently the entire Modern Tales family of webcomic hosting is crashing. The domain registration for Graphic Smash (graphicsmash.com) expired on Friday, and all webcomics there (including Ursala Vernon's recently completed Digger) have vanished. There's obvious concern that the rest of the family of websites will likewise vanish over the next few months, taking with them a few hundred more webcomics. The expiration dates for the rest of the Modern Tales hosting sites are:

2011-07-24 webcomicsnation.com
2011-07-31 serializer.net
2011-08-02 talkaboutcomics.com
2011-08-15 girlamatic.com
2011-10-06 comicspace.com
2011-11-09 moderntales.com

This, unfortunately, includes mine at webcomicsnation.com. Champion Of Katara and Felicia are both currently on hiatus anyway while I continue to work on a backlog, but now Mr Cow may also be shut down, and the completed strips, Seeker's Quest and Stars And Stripes will disappear.

If that happens (we'll see if anybody at Modern Tales shows any sign of life before that next deadline), I'll see about taking everything to another hosting site; hopefully one that was as easy to upload to as webcomicsnation has been.
