Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

Heroes 1: We Could Be Heroes  

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the show and ancillary materials such as web comics! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. Chuffa, Chuffa!

Apparently you should only raise money for causes that you know nothing about and don't affect anyone you know.

Yes. Otherwise, it's selfish.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I couldn't really spend too much time on that page, since the first user comment called Greg Grunberg a hypocrite for supporting a charity dedicated to epilepsy.

I...don't understand.

I was sitting here thinking, Greg Grunberg is secretly in favor of epilepsy! He really really thinks everyone should have the tonic-clonic experience!!

Right?

I guess I'm a hypocrite for running a marathon to support the AIDS Foundation. Or...I'm not one? I don't know.

Oh, it turns out I'm not a hypocrite! Go me!

You\'re only a hypocrite if you have the AIDS.

P-C knows people who know people with AIDS. I think he'd have to run a marathon to support the Ebola Foundation.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I think he'd have to run a marathon to support the Ebola Foundation.

Way these people sound, I might not even risk that.

Nutjob: So, a marathon to help Ebola victims, huh?

Ginger: Yeah.

Nutjob: Ever see "Outbreak"?

Ginger: Yeah...

Nutjob: OMGWTF YOU HYPOCRITE!! (writhes, gnashes teeth, foams at mouth)

Ginger: Is there a marathon to support cluesticking YOU?

See that would be TOTALLY selfish.

But fun.

If there are rare instances of the web comics being spoilery, than I'd rather be safe than sorry for the sake of those who don't want to take that chance. White font is fine.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I don't read the comics, but mostly because I just haven't bothered yet. In general, I'm spoiler pure, but I know that these boards have long accomodated us, and I appreciate that. I don't want this to be a bone of contention for this new thread.

What is even happening?

I was sitting here thinking, Greg Grunberg is secretly in favor of epilepsy! He really really thinks everyone should have the tonic-clonic experience!!

Ditto. Why do they let so many people have the internets?

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

I'd prefer blackfont. Don't think the comics are spoilery, because the show is intended to be in two media. If you are not reading the comics and you get info from them you are not being spoiled: you are getting part of the show you would otherwise miss. Suppose some circumstances forced you to miss five minutes of every show? Would discussion of that five minutes be spoilery for you? Discussing the comics is giving you part of the experience the creators of the show intend you to have. In that sense, it is different from what was considered spoilers in other shows. While I'm all for "trust the tale, not the teller" I think whether auxillary works are included as part of a work of art, is one where where authorial intent is to be respected.

That being said, if people would still rather it be white-fonted (for themselves, not speculating on what others would prefer) it is no big deal, and I'm willing to stick to white-font just to accomodate this. My only caveat is that they consider blackfont of the comics a spoiler for them personally. I don't want to white font because someone thinks someone else may consider it spoilery

Dana and Vortex both seemed concerned that they personally find it spoilery for themselves; so if they continue to feel that way, and don't reconsider, then that is a good enough argument for white fonting. (Vortex, I don't think the slope is that slippery though. "Intended from the beginning to be part of the show, and released on-line to contribute to your enjoyment of the show on the official site" is one heck of a brightline. I kind of hope you and Dana will change your minds. But if not I think we should whitefont for you, cause as you say, not that big a deal.)
