I used to read that when I was a child, I am glad it is still online. I am also happy that they managed to finish the story :)

By the way, if you liked the old-school "ISP shenenigans and Unix jokes" web-comic genre, make sure to check out https://www.gpf-comics.com/

It's still going, IMO still not stale (without going into spoilers: the setting really helps), even though it is also scheduled to wind down (tying up all loose threads) in the next 1-2 years.

As a teen I read web-comics like GPF, Userfriendly, Sluggy Freelance religiously, which really helped my English and my nerd career. Finding out about all those big web comics dying is the first time that I genuinely feel in my core that I am getting older... :(

I feel older for the same reason - it sucks watching the internet of my youth slip away.
