There are several stories on the sight that come out on an issue to issue basis of which I’m fond, but my
Main draw to the site is Saint James Infirmary, which has been in limbo for coming up on three quarters of a year at this point due to the SM focus.

If, someway somehow, SJI were to resume even weekly uploads, that would be sufficient to maintain my subscription. Barring that, I may do single month subscriptions in the future when (if) my choice issue-based stories resume.

I didn't realize I'd been a subscriber since late 2020 until I checked. I'm not sure exactly how long the site has existed or how many times something like this has happened. Every site goes through its ups and downs, and before the pipeline issues, MCC was always my absolute favorite source for mind control fetish comics. Even though the wait for new updates (especially for Starter Marriage) has been very long, and Daphne’s silence isn’t ideal right now (though it might simply be because there’s nothing new to say), I’m still going to keep supporting the site through this rough patch. I believe whatever is happening behind the scenes will eventually get resolved, and any new updates will be worth the wait.

now it's complete silence from her in the forums, which is so disappointing

Guys: at least consider the possibility that she would be active on the forum if she could be. And that if she's not, it's because she's unable to be.

I wouldn't jump to "disappointing" before we know what's going on.

My subscription was due for renewal at the start of July and I've cancelled for now. Likewise will remain this way until I see some more positive indication as to whether or not content actually makes a comeback, more so Starter Marriage than anything.

Also a very long term subscriber here. I have made the difficult decision to cancel myself. I'm hoping  against hope that this isn't the end of the website, but with so many cancellation subscriptions at the same time, idk how that won't be the case. If everything gets going again I will be back. Back earlier this year when this was happening, Daphne was always in here reassuring us that things were in the world and would be fixed, now it's complete silence from her in the forums, which is so disappointing.
So long for now.

Yeah.  I'm gonna have to see a major turnaround to keep up with this.

I am a long time subscriber, dating back to when this site first opened.
I have an annual membership which is up for renewal in early August.

My expectation is that I will not renew.
Starter Marriage shipping might cause me to change my mind.
Seeing stuff resolved definitely will

However, I'm not holding my breath.

On the AI front, I wonder whether the experimentations with AI that have already gone one led to a rupture with the site's existing artists.

As a long-time lurker, in here; I wonder how many of us are just going to quietly "not renew," if the situation persists... As a comic collector of over 40 years and an MCC subscriber of 5, I wouldn't complain to a format change to "Pricing per title," instead of subscription, until output stabilizes... I mean once the nectar starts flowing again, the bees will inevitably be attracted back.

As for the earlier AI comment... Well... You'd be amazed how much open source diffusion models have improved, in the last 6 months even... (0_0) ...Like stuff that will run [locally] on a high-er end laptop or gaming rig... [That's NSFW stuff too, BTW. (-_^)] With good and detailed prompts and flow in say... Comfy UI, you get output that you really have to scrutinize to detect the "AI sloppy-ness" in it. That being said, it's not "Plug and Play." You'll just get run of the mill AI "looks like cheap hentai" slop, unless you put in the work, to set up the flow...

Honestly, AI content that you have a hard time telling IS, in fact, AI content would be not so bad? #AITA? \()/

It's not really clear what the full nature of the situation is. Expanded Universe had seemed siloed from the troubles, until it wasn't. I was thinking to myself the other day, why haven't I seen signs that Daphne is actively seeking new artists to work with, and then I was like, how the fuck would I know, I wouldn't even know where to look.

I'd really like to see the next phase of Starter Marriage. For a while I was thinking that maybe Daphne had resolved to go radio silent until she was in a position to make a triumphant announcement, but it's been well over a month at this point and that seems less and less likely.

I've been a subscriber for who knows how long, but the tighter restrictions may kill the site.  They make artists afraid to do the work that needs to be done so if an artist bows out they become more difficult than ever to replace.  Sucks that this place survived COVID and is now being shut down because others want to control what we enjoy.

EDIT:  So instead of being a sad sack my brain came up with a possible solution.  This will get me lynched, but what about AI art making one panel at a time?  It wouldn't be as high quality as we have come to expect from this site, but it would still be better than nothing.
