Years In Review

Sunday, January 9th, 2011

My goals for Station V3 for the past few years have been pretty basic: 1. Keep updating. 2. Try to get more people to read it. 3. Keep having fun doing it.

So how did I do?

Goal 1: You can see on the archive calendar that the first goal was accomplished! Z7 and Silence in the Darkness on Q16 also kept updating on schedule, and even Ebb’s Children had a few new strips go up.

Goal 2: The site logs are telling me this one was accomplished! 2009 was a very busy year for Station V3 in terms of site traffic, and 2010 was even better. So a big Thank You to everyone who read the comic and/or helped spread the word!

Goal 3: If this one wasn’t accomplished, I wouldn’t be here telling you this! :)

The goals for 2011 are the same, but with “Get the second book finished already!” added. Also I’ll try to be a little more active in terms of updating the blog, putting up bonus strips, drawing guest strips for other comics, etc.

Some info from the 2010 site logs:

  • The top 5 browsers being used to visit the site are Firefox (47.2%), Internet Explorer (29.4%), Chrome (9.5%), Opera (7.1%), and Safari (3.7%).
  • Windows led the operating systems list at 86.7%, followed by Linux at 6% and Mac at 5.9%.
  • The top 10 countries with the most page views were the US, the UK, Germany, Canada, Australia, Poland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, and Romania.
  • The most visited archive page for the year was the first one. (No surprise there! That was also true in 2009. And I think every year before that.)
  • The top 3 most visited archive pages for new strips in 2010 were June 26, February 28, and March 13.

Again, thanks for reading in 2010, and I hope you enjoy what’s coming in 2011!

Christmas Bonus

Friday, December 24th, 2010

In the new voting bonus strip up today, one of the rumormongers talks to Linton about a Christmas rumor!

Meanwhile, over at Silence in the Darkness on Q16, a new generator has arrived, and two main characters are seen for the first time in over three years.

4 1/2 Updates

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

All four strips in the Station V3 universe updated today! Station V3 (of course), Z7, Silence in the Darkness on Q16, and even Ebb’s Children!

And in case that’s not enough, you can vote for Station V3 at TopWebcomics and see a new sprite strip! :)

The Plant Again

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

Since the last bonus strip with the Plant seems to have gone over pretty well, there’s a new one today with the Plant in a new situation! (Thanks for all the votes! Station V3 is back in the Top 100 at TopWebcomics for the first time in a few months.)

In other news, remember how the Rumormonger with the Hat liked the PC Weenies book? It turns out Rumormongers also like Zortic frisbees!

And not just the frisbees, of course… They like Zortic in general for a good sci-fi comedy adventure fix, and recommend reading through the archives at least twice, followed by a read through The Saucer Seekers! (I think they just found the TV Tropes entry on Archive Binge.)

Pointing you to other Places

Saturday, August 7th, 2010

I’ve got a few places to point you to today… The first is TopWebcomics, where there’s another new sprite strip voting bonus, in which Morty follows up on Ebb’s conversation with the Plant!

PodWarp 1999 has a new site up , and a number of the past episodes (including the most recent one, which you may or may not have heard already, depending on whether you downloaded it from the forum) – next stop, new episodes! Or at least the rest of the old ones!

Meanwhile, over at PC Weenies, the Rumormonger with a hat can be seen enjoying my copy of the Rebootus Maximus book!

Apparently a lot of you enjoyed going through the One Small Step archives when my guest strip went up last month – and now it’s being updated with new strips again!

As long as I’m pointing you to other people’s comics, why not give BlueStar Blues a try? It’s a fun story about a bunch of space pirates and their abducted human.

And since I don’t just want to point you to other people’s comics, check out today’s Z7!

…And since I don’t just want to point you to other sites, check out what was going on here last time August 7 was a Saturday! :)
