Inhuman [a webcomic] : updates SATURDAYS

The Hall of Shame

I guess this is a rite of passage for websites, but oh boy oh boy. Once you start getting the slightest little underground sliver of interweb street cred, the thieves come out. Not just art thieves, noooo sir. Art thieves, bandwith thieves, and story thieves. Even sometimes identity thieves! Now, most folks on the interweb might just sit in a corner. They might lament, let this happen. Throw up their hands and say 'no way, i can't possiably protect myself! This is bound to happen- I should let authorities handle it!'

But here at Inhuman we say to that attitude- PISH POSH! You can't expect the INTERNET POLICE to fix your problems, protect you of crime! You must be ready to do it yourself. Like Batman, you must don a hood and take matters into your own hands. Like the hole in the wall gang, you must rally your most trusted posse and go internet vigilante. And that is what this part of the site is. This is the Hall of Shame, where the vigilante posse gets to hang the boots of those we've caught in the act of theft, and slain.

THE HANGMAN: AKA Blue Jay

You may know blue jay as one of the earliest, and best fans of the comic i've had. Oh, a lot of fans predate the comic. But once it was under way, jay was the first to write a fanfic. Not only that, she's stayed since then. But wait, there's more. This little asskicker from the UK ran into an art thief who actually attended her school. In discovering his theft, she soundly beat his ass down -yes physically beat him up- and erned herself an in school suspension. AS SUCH, Jay is awarded as being the OFFICIAL Inhuman Hangman. If you steal, you will be reported to Jay. There are many others you'll be reported to too, but Jay is really and truly the singularly most vicious. ;3

"My own original character, an alcoholic rabbit or something!"
At Jay's school, there is a boy. This boy drew Kyo. Jay asked if he read Inhuman. He claimed it was his original character. Jay called his bluff. Jay physically beat him up and found he was plagerising about every sci-fi comic on the interweb.
Injuries sustained: thief recieved an in school suspension, pulled hair, pulled nostril, and lots of punches as well as a torn sketchbook.

"These stories about this Kyotoshi guy? Yup, all mine!"
Some wanker copy-pastes every story involving Kyotoshi and creates a freewebs page under username Kyotoshi to 'publish' them, claiming they are his. He also direct links art. How cute.
Injuries Sustained: stolen artwork was cocked, but the website was also shut down in violation of terms.

"Gift art means...GIFT FOR ME! LOL!" "Lol ur rite artists don't have rights on the internet it's flattering lol"
two tards sit around patting eachother on the back. one gets weepy for having the whistle blown on him for trying to gank gift art done for me. the other sits around jerking him off. when thief1 realizes he's in over his head, he smartly leaves. idiot2 remains behind to attempt to fight...resulting in a failtality. this actually went on for 8 pages. threats of KARMA and YOU DON'T KNOW HOW I FEEL and such flew with WILD ABANDON. also anyone against art theft was CLEARLY A MINION OF MINE WHO COULD NOT SEE THE TRUE MEANING OF ART THEFT (it is apparently flattery).
Injuries Sustained: +1 mudkipped board, broken pride, admitance to no friends, and a FAILTALITY.

You're my Business Partner! OH SHIT YOU REALIZED I'M CLAIMING THAT!
This is just epic, seriously. a furry porn site was claiming i was their business partner. when i politely emailed the webmaster asking him to not claim that and even telling him he could still link back, he responded by pretending REALLY BADLY to be a lawyer, trying to get me banned from a chatroom, reporting 'me' (mr shimo doyle, rite) to the NY tax division for online slander and just in general making a TOTAL ass of himself. eventually he did remove the link altogether and shut the hell up when he realized people weren't taking his side. but wow. just wow.
Injuries Sustained: reported to the CA BAR for faking being a lawyer, humiliation reaching as far as furchan

I drew a whole ton of...oops
For an art thief, this one went down pretty fast. How? cause lycos rocks. they sent the site a warning after i proved i was the original artist, which the webmaster ignored thinking they'd get away. and as a result? the site died.
Injuries Sustained: site suspended
