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.

(Basically, when you get to 10, instead of using 10, add a 1 after 9 to make it 91, then continue with 92. Instead of 100, make 99 to 991, then continue with 992, etc...
Wow, this is great! Works perfectly if you only care about the order of the files. However, if you wanted e.g. the 238th file or know which index file 99993 is, that's a bit more of a headache.
You'll also run into filename length limits quite quickly, since the number of files scales linearly with the number of characters in the filename, compared to exponentially with the 01 method.
Um...
Okay so if you ever run out of character spaces, create another folder. Don't rename it yet. Select all folders, and then un-select your new folder. Move then all those folders to the new folder. Name the new folder "1", then create a folder "2". Any new folders should be inside this folder "2". The original folders are now referred to as "Level 1 Inception", your new folders "1" and "2" are now "Level 2 Inception"
Whenever you run out of name length for your "Level 2" folders, you do the same trick and now you have 3 levels of Inception.
You could do this infinitely (until your system crashes).
