Around mid-October, the Internet comic archive known as "The Belfry" (https://new.belfrycomics.net/) went offline, clicks on the link showing only a blank page. There was no panic at first as it's gone down for a few days before. Then people in a few comic forums began commenting it wasn't coming back, some wondering if it was related to a widespread incident online in which AI bots exposed weaknesses in a great many websites.
The Belfry had been around since the later 1990s, and had links to hundreds of online comics, including inactive ones. It was one of the largest online comic lists, if not the largest.
The internet archive has a record of it you can access (
