- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Always has been. I remember in the 90s being a 13 year old boy, talking on a chat service thats long dead now. It was called "talkcity".
They were a collection of chatrooms. They had a chatroom for every niche. I hungout in the "teenchat".
I can remember having people message me, claiming to be 14/F/Cali. I was 13/M/Ohio.
So I didn't think anything of it at the time. But those chats were EXTREMELY sexual. Knowing what I know now, I was probably talking to a 40 year old dude living in his moms basement.
Even though talkcity is long dead, that behavior of targeted predators is very much still alive.
