Wait, so it isn't your mom being overprotective? You can't get a job at all now? Right, of course.

But enough picking on me for being cheap, poor, and unemployed,

We're not really picking on you for being poor or unemployed, or even cheap. We're picking on you for being an entitlement bitch of a whiner. I mean, you can fix both being poor and unemployed by getting a job; I doubt even if you had a job you'd stop being cheap. You strike me as the kind of kid that thinks if you can get it for free you should, and screw everyone else; so long as you get yours. So here's me being unsubtle: fuck off already. We don't need more of your type in our communities.

screw phantom-boy, and just get a torrent
Because there's no way in hell that I'd go into a convention, even if it was in and out for the comics...

I rest my case.

Ihave tried to purchase the Milkmaid comics before but the yowcow payment thing dosent work.

First off, I totally agree that you should support what you like so more of it can be made.

But there is something to be said about the non-profit part of these communites as well. People getting stuff for free sometimes make stuff themselves and give it back to the community; also for free, just because they like the appreciation that they get sometimes. It's like the GTS Oekaki (http://www.ta-host.com/gtsoekaki/), you see work there that people have contributed for free, and it's not about money at all.

I guess what I'm saying is, contribute anything you can, be it artwork, project help, or donations- that's the kind of people we need in the community. ^_^

Plus, getting something for free that you would normally have to pay for is illegal... it's copyright infringement.

You know, I might be one of the few people who should be asking for Magnificent Milkmaid scans, because I sent those bastards a paypal and never got my comic. I went through phone tag ring around the rosie, but according to them, somewhere between my bank and theirs the money "got lost" and I never wound up getting my comic, even though the money was irrevocably subtracted from my account.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't still try and support WLP, but just make double sure on everything before you hit send, because people getting burned is not unheard of.
