As a reader of both the 'spot and the new BL, I simply have 2 forums to visit instead of one - all my comics still have the same URLs, so it's really no trouble at all for reading them.
I have seen some of the people who are regulars in the Keenspot forums simply ignore the new Blank Label forums - but it looks like a lot of the fans have made the move - there's already over 400 members of the new forums.
Yes! Exactly. I'm seriously thinking about renovating one of my spare-parts boxes that is sitting in my garage just so I can go back and play all my King's Quest and Space Quest games that just will not run on my nice new PC.
I don't think PC gamers are going to leave behind their favorite mode of gaming for something new and flashy. Come on, we're still trying to play games that are ten, fifteen years old... So I bet ten years down the line we'll be trying to find ways to get our machines to play the games we're buying now.
Maybe I'm just addicted to my desktop, but I think that it's easier and more cost effective as a gamer to have my computer to play my games on, rather than having to buy a Playstation, X-Box, Nintendo, or whatever else comes out next. Almost all of my favorite PC games are dual released for the console and the PC. Plus, since I use my PC for web and graphic design, it's going to need upgrades anyhow - better to spend my money on a sweet system then to keep tossing it away on consoles that get replaced every two years anyhow.
Hurrah for Wapsi! Good for both the male and female of the species. The artist is a nice guy - if you ever actually talk to him, he's not femmey at all.

Hadn't tried that one!
Hurrah for games on the PC!
Also, hurrah for The Underdogs - since my computer has no floppy drive, it allows me to play my realllly old games.
