Fan Sites

• 910CMX forum (earlier location): The traditional nexus of the EGS fandom. In various incarnations, official for a very long time, despite Dan's absence for the last several years, until he withdrew his endorsement in late 2016, due to being unable to vouch for its status without frequenting it. Hard disks and backups were physically damaged in an accident in 2016 and earlier discussions were lost.
• Ookii.org Home to the original character statistics database, comic index, and the Uryuomoco translator. The character statistics database and comic index were last updated 2016-05-16. The translator is not up-to-date based on new examples of Uryuomoco text.
• HarJIT.moe Home to an out of date comic index (last updated 2023-01-30) That includes artwork that is on the EGS site but not accessible by link, and an Uryuomoco translator that properly translates all Uryuomoco text shown in-comic (as of 2018-01-05). Also includes non-EGS content.
• Haylo.net EGS Comic Links & Fan Fiction; largely defunct, mostly dead links.

• EGS on Archive of Our Own (AO3) (may include explicit content)

Other EGS links

• The EGS TV Tropes page
• The EGS pages on English Wikiquote and French Wikipedia (was deleted from English Wikipedia due to alleged non-notability, but each language is a separate project (interlinking and translation from each other notwithstanding) so this had no effect on French). Also, a fork (with copy of the original edit history) of the old English article on Wikifur.

Historic

Note: many (not all) of the following are now inaccessible and hence known dead links. They are kept around for historic reference.

• Dan's Formspring page (Dan switched to Tumblr for asks, and now Formspring as such seems no longer to exist)

Historic official fora:

• The EGS Keenspot Board (official September 2003 – January 2009, now inactive). Operated in parallel with EGS Mayhem, which was used for games and RPs following the demise of the TWC forum (more info).
• The EGS SuddenLaunch Forum (fallback forum in TWC era, now inactive and spam ridden apparently also dead)
• The EGS Webcomic.net ("TWC") Forum (official until September 2003 but somewhat active until its eventual demise, possibly now permanently dead).

Other points:

• EGS Mayhem wiki
• Original OhNoRobot comic transcripts (for older comics, not up to date)
