scans_daily passed away last month, due to complications arising from comic companies being alerted to the fact that it existed, and the current LJ administration being hypersensitive about covering its ass. It will be missed.
I'm told that a substitute Scans Daily was in the making on another site, but I never read it that often, so I didn't keep track of where the New Scans Daily was.
EDIT: Okay, I dug up the Shortpacked blog entry that mentioned Scans_Daily's demise (3/1/09) coz I remembered someone linking to the off-shoot communities.
Scans_Daily @ Insanejournal seems to be somewhat active. I suspect there's probably another one out there somewhere, where all the cool kids post.
I understand the comix companies being peeved, just as I think their reaction is the equivalent of stabbing themselves in the eye (the only comics I've bought in the past 2 or 3 years have been because either Warren Ellis told me to, or I saw them on scans daily). But, I'm sure you've heard it all. LJ is a little less gay, and thus, the world is less awesome.
