    Ohey gaiz. There's a livestream of it floating around tumblr. Here it is, I believe. Haven't checked though. I'd rather view it normally.

    I know Homestruck has a large fanbase, but holy ****. If it has that much traffic then surely he can slap a couple of ads on the page and host it himself, maybe mirror onto NG later.

    Maybe of winter break or something I'll try again at reading it to see if I can't get to where it actually gets good. First sections are mildly amusing at best.

    Dude.

    The projected cost for hosting it personally

    for ONE DAY

    is $10K.

    That's more than a YEAR of hosting the rest of the comic, flash included.

    Besides, he's already got a ton of badass ads

    My main confusion is that traffic is debatably the most valuable internet resource. If you have the ability to drive that much traffic then the profits even from just advertising should exceed the costs, usually by a good margin at that. Get a loan, rent out some servers, and go to town. I mean hell, even without ads, if the fan base is large enough to do this kind of damage then making a post saying "Hey, I'm having trouble funding hosting costs for the next update and would appreciate it if you could each donate a few dollars" He would likely be half covered right there.
