Day 4 update on Readcomiconline - clearing up a few things.
Day 1 Post.
Day 2 Post.
Day 3 Post.
Alllllright, here we are. It's 5 AM on day 4, and I've got some extra info to drop, but I'd also like to clear up... not necessarily misinformation, but bad information.
First off, I'm not affiliated with any of the scanners or the site itself, I'm literally just a standard user. I don't know if anyone's questioned whether I have ties to any of this, I really don't, so please take anything I say as the words of a passionate fellow user and not the words of someone with inside information. I ain't got shit, I don't know anyone. If I did, we'd have a scan of Sturgill Simpson's Sound & Fury graphic novel up on the site, not that I regret buying a physical copy of it.
Secondly, and far more importantly, people have repeatedly commented that the '.ru domain is still up' - From what I've been able to gather, this is actually not ran by the same group of individuals who run the .li domain at all, but rather it's just a Russian website kind of riding the wave of fame from the .li domain. On a similar front, I've heard about a site called Batcave or something, and one or two comments seemed to suggest this was a new RCO domain, but I do not have any solid confirmation on that myself, and we should assume it's bogus information for now unless someone with inside information comes forward.
Finally, and I didn't even know about this until I received a message request from u/aIuacri, shout out to him for the heads-up, but RCO's .li domain front page includes a link to a backup domain: https://rcostation.xyz/
This domain seems to have the same library of comics and graphic novels as the regular RCO domain, and it's almost certainly ran by the same people if they're putting the message on the site. If you're struggling to get onto the main domain, try out this one.
Thanks to everyone for the support so far, I just wanted to keep everyone informed on what's happening with regards to RCO as it's been my primary avenue for reading comics for years, and I know it's seen almost as a legitimate archive for comic book fans around the world. I don't know if I'll have to make a Day 5 post, but if any new information comes up, I'll be here sometime tomorrow. Take care, everyone.
