Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Owning a domain name is still a reasonably good idea, but it was never a path to fame, even back then. A stepping stone, maybe, but even then, not strictly necessary.

Yahoo mail still exists - you can even set up a new one - but they got rid of the forwarding feature for free accounts a few years ago, so you actually have to make an effort to log in to the site and check. There's no way to access free mail accounts other than doing that. Of course, if you're willing to pay something, you can get forwarding back and maybe something like POP or even IMAP.

Of course, if you do pay, you'll be supporting some of the more questionable decisions made by Yahoo management.

I think the point of doing this first is not about getting fame, but to be ready for it. Once you are famous someone can claim the domain you wanted and hold it hostage so by doing this you don't have to deal with that later on.

I can access my mail on my yahoo address from fairemail on my phone and I'm not paying, isn't it through IMAP? I don't remember, the setup was very easy tho.

There’s no way to access free mail accounts other than doing that.

There are many Android Apps that connect to yahoo through the web interface and retrieve your email so you can read it in a normal place.
