Yeah, I wasn’t going to get into this, but a lot of the debate around it is really starting to get on my nerves. So, last week the Penny Arcade guys posted this comic.

Over the next week or so, I’ll be moving the site to new servers where we can accept advertising, because I’m buying in, baby. Actually, because it would be nice if this were a self-sustaining hobby.
