Well, I don't remember making the offer to spearhead such a project, I was just pointing-out how anyone could set-up something without any costs (after they do a little online research). I would like to see ALL Public Domain material made easily available to everyone, and quite honestly, I'm surprised that someone "out there" hasn't already started a PD SA comic file-sharing site. On the other hand, I don't personally have a great deal of interest in the majority of PD SA comics beyond a few of the superhero books that were published. Would you really want to go to a site that's run by someone who doesn't really care that much about what he's doing? I know I wouldn't, because that "lack of interest" would be apparent, and suggestions from visitors on how to make the site work better would fall on deaf ears.

I think Fett was just throwing some sarcasm your way, bchat. :D I agree about lack of interest. It goes with anything. If you don't care about something it will show. Take this site for instance. You can tell that the admins here truly care not just about GA comics, but about this site. They always on, take feedback and are on top of things.

Having people that are passionate about the subject matter is what a site needs in order to be the best it can be and not appear to simply be a "fan site". Yeah, it's obvious that "The Admins" care about the site a great deal and work hard to make it the best that they can.
I'ld still like to see a site hosting the PD material that DCM doesn't, BUT I'm pretty sure I'm not the guy to do that. I'm kind of lazy, not much on self-promotion, and my interest, when it comes to comics, is mostly superheroes. That said, were I to start-up such a site on my own, there's a chance that a time would come when I would simply get tired of dealing with it, I wouldn't do much to promote the site (I never promote my own blog, so I can't imagine I'ld be any more agressive about promoting a website), and I wouldn't agressively acquire scans (either through searching the net or buying books on my own) that were outside the superhero genre (romance, humor & crime would suffer the most from this). On the other hand, I like playing with HTML and fiddling with graphics, so having a website does interest me in a small way, but not enough to take this particular torch and run with it.
So, I point-out that it's kind of easy to set-up something without spending money with the idea that someone who has thought about creating such a site goes "Well, heck, if it's easy, I'LL do it!" Such a site may not be organized as neatly as DCM, but somebody could get pretty close, or at least have something that wasn't too much of a hassle to navigate through, if they were a little creative and planned ahead a little bit.

I put the Silver Age Sidestreet on GAC. Odd SA is may main comic passion. Some of the Dell books probably are not PD but also probably abandoned. I would expand it if someone wants to confirm PD status.
