So, what's the diff between this and the Golden Age Downloads website?
Poztron:
Admin, feel free to delete this post if I step on too many toes...
I think of GAC and DCM as more-or-less mirror sites that both exist to share scans of public domain golden age comics with fans.
DCM feels to me as more of a group cooperative, while GAC is apparently 'owned' by someone with ideas about building social networking into the deal. That may well be a perfectly reasonable objective, but when member rankings and download tiers were suddenly introduced, that felt intrusive... and not coincidentally DCM emerged out of that change-over.
In any case, I respect both sites and generally try to upload any scans I manage to do to both of them. The participants at both sites definitely overlap. It's a small universe. But both GAC and DCM provide a marvelous public service and example of fan cooperation. My hat is off to both sites.

One thing I noticed that's different is this site has more comics with Skyman in them. :)

Skyman has a very distinct costume, I likes it.
Captain DJ:
Basically we opened and then did following:
* Fixed few of the old bugs that was annoying GAC site
* Added top 5 downloaded, top 5 rated etc boxes on front page
* Invested into the site and launched with no download limits.
* Invested into the site still not managed to fill our hard drives :(
* First to launch the online comic viewer
* Started adding comic covers to each comic on site where possible (using script so no slaves required)
* Still adding security updates and coding for future expansions whenever possible.
