You can still browse by changing the URL just like before. Eg:
Regarding the other stuffs, I think Rick will get to it when he has time.
Good to know. Maybe in the future though he could set up a tab by the merchandise button for a list of all of these links. On another forum I'm on, someone programmed a page search index using these tags.
For some reason the URL is eating-grass (original title?) instead of grass-stains so the old link to the comic from its forum thread (and any other links around the internet) don't autocorrect and just 404 instead.
Probably because the file itself is called eating-grass.png, looks like rick changed the title once it was uploaded
From what I've heard, the strips used to have a comments section. Could it be possible to read the old comments via Wayback Machine if anyone remembers the old URL?
I actually found out about Freefall from the old site's comment section. I kind of liked the comments. They were always pretty full. Though, I probably wouldn't have checked out the forums had Rick kept the old comment format...

yeah, sites tend to have one or the other. the ones i know of that have both either integrate them so she share a single back end to save on resources (IE: comments actually being forum threads that are getting transposed onto sections of the site outside the forums, and it's the same login for both) or one drowns out the other and people start ignoring the one they use less.
If it comments ever get brought back, the 'forum integration' option would probably be better in the long run. It'd take more to implement initially, but having one system instead of two would likely eat less server resources, and i can see a shared login acting as an easy entry point from one to the other.
Most important thing I've learned from D&D?
No matter how tempting it may be, as a DM I can't both present a problem and solve it.
Every time a DMPC or NPC fixes something a payer couldn't i'm diminishing and undermining that player's contribution.
