CIDU Change in Schedule
Cidu Bill on Aug 11th 2009
Effective immediately, the CIDU site will be updated Mondays through Fridays only. The site is actually doing quite well, gaining readership at a good clip: the first year after the format change, we had just under 1 million pageviews; the second year, just over 2 million; this year, well over 3 million seemed certain (though dropping weekend updates might affect that).
The problem is, quite simply, not enough CIDUs. At one point I had a backlog of more than three months. Right now, I have four comics in the queue. You’d think that an ever-increasing readership would mean more comics sent my way, but what’s happening instead is that the same comic gets sent to me by three or four people rather than one or two.
I don’t want to get to the point where people come here expecting an update and all I have to offer is “sorry, nothing today,” so instead I’m changing the plan a bit: LOL collections on Monday, regular CIDUs Tuesday through Thursday, and Ewww Files on Friday. That will be the regular 12:02AM schedule, hopefully a sustainable one, and other stuff will show up at random times, same as always.
