The community is one of the most welcoming, kindest, funniest, smartest communities I've ever had the privilege of being part of. I feel whoever wrote a negative review had one bad experience - maybe didn't understand someone's sense of humor? - and left. There are some unique kinds of people in ComicFury that I don't often experience anywhere else, so I find that highly likely. There's a lot of joking around, and a newcomer who's not very good at reading people over the internet could leave with an awful impression given some unfortunate luck.

Every community has its drama. The ComicFury forum actually has so, SO much less drama than I could ever expect! It happens every once in a while obviously (like... maybe once a month as far as I've seen - *if* even that often) but it usually stays contained in a single thread from my experience - and as soon as it gets harmful or out of hand, Kyo (CF's admin) shuts it down immediately. In fact, Kyo himself is a huge reason to choose this site! He's constantly active, and in the many years I've been in CF, he's proven himself to be levelheaded, reliable, and honest. He keeps a close eye on the community and is always ready and happy to help with whatever problem you have with the site. (speaking of, as of November 2019, CF is the last remaining webcomic host to give you your own fully customizable domain!) He never stirs up trouble and, like I said, instead shuts down drama when it happens. I've never seen a website admin act as responsibly as he does.

I think the high quality of the community is due to the tiny size, which is obviously a problem if you're trying to get popular or make any kind of monetary profit... but you can always mirror on other sites. The community has been 1000% a positive experience for me - I've learned a lot about so many different things and had so much fun! It's worth it for every experience besides popularity.
