I think we need the names no. and links to the number of comics Scott has made.24.80.36.89 (talk) 15:06, 22 March 2009 (UTC) --—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.80.36.89 (talk) 05:03, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
I can't even find any of the VG Kitties comics still hosted on the site. I'm removing the section. In the event they are still hosted, I don't think it deserves a section in the article, because from what I remember it was only a few comics long. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.186.182.39 (talk) 04:47, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Has VG Cats died? The link doesnt work, as if they sold their domain name, and theres no other way to get to them, dead?
Yeah, link won't work for me either. They must have sold the domain or something...
What the heck happened? I think someone may have hacked it, cause I tried registering on their forums, and it said registration was disabled. I hope nothing gets deleted or anything.68.76.157.233 17:00, 21 December 2006 (UTC)PMXe54

The prototype infobox I put together features VG Cats. What do you think? CyberSkull 08:33, 2005 Jun 18 (UTC)
I believe someone should add something on the argument between VGCats and Jack Thompson.
Is it me..
Or should we try and add some more pictures into this page.
I mean a picture of the main characters would be nice to show. -MGL
nah, good enough as it is. I mean, they only appear in the webcomics, and putting an entire comic into the article? There are avatars, but those wouldn't "fit in". I don't know, maybe someone will do it. EAB 11:09, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Should not be included, especially if graphic like that.
For comparison, go to other articles with large fanart sections or even to the page on hentai.
Concerning the sentence, "The majority of this fan art can be found at a forum which has gained recognition for its collection." in the "Fan art" section, the {{fact}} template was added not to dispute the existence of the forum, but the claim it has gained recognition. Do not remove the {{fact}} unless you can provide a source backing up the claim. Please be aware that unless they are very high profile, forum posts and blogs do not meet Wikipedia's standards as sources. –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 15:37, 10 May 2006 (UTC) --72.181.181.118 (talk) 01:37, 20 March 2011 (UTC)leo or die lolz
I trimmed down the 'Characters' section, and removed the 'Fan Art' section. - Kalarchis 01:18, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
You guys have some problems with your pictures. First, the one of Link in the infobox is liable to be deleted anytime, as it's "with-permission", a long-since deprecated license. The other pictures don't suffer from that problem, but between you and me, I'd imagine that most people would be deeply skeptical of screenshots from popular webcomics which purport to be public-domain/all-rights-released with no shred of evidence to support that. --maru (talk) contribs 22:55, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
People keep erasing the "there is evidence that aeris may have had a crush on leo in high school". And there IS EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE THEORY. IT'S A THEORY THAT MANY SEE AS TRUE, AND BECAUSE YOU SEE IT AS FALSE DOESN'T MEAN IT DIDN'T HAPPEN! IT COULD HAVE! LEAVE IT ALONE NOW! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.83.199.177 (talk • contribs) 11:36, September 4, 2006

"the last thing that anyone wants is for a LeoXAeris relationship to start."
Speak for yourself. There are a surprising amount of people out there who want it to happen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.48.218.197 (talk • contribs) 18:28, October 3, 2006
the theory is (sort of) supported from this strip. the blushing can mean she likes him but again it's all ambiguous. (tyger 20:19, 5 November 2006 (UTC))
It was restored again. I changed it to "appears to have a small crush on Leo since school". Seriously, I read teh strip and I can only interpret the blushing as the start of a crush. I mean, what other reason could there be for her to blush on those pannels? Anyone can expplain an alternative reason that make sense? --Enric Naval (talk) 07:14, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
I do not want a LeoxAeris Relationship, im being objective --Rocket50 (talk) 15:16, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
Or possibly delete. It's POV, inappropriately toned and steaming with fan theories and unverifiable information. ~ Oni Lukos ct 23:25, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
G'day, I just tried to clean the Art Style section up as best I could. It's not very good, but I hope it helps. :) Martin Kingsley 14:18, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Just a spot but ive noticed that Scott has seemingly skipped the 200th comic. Should this fact be put down or should it be put down as an in-joke?
A lot of the pics on this site use Scott's original art style and look nothing like his newer works. Any chance that thepage could be updated with more recent shots? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.93.174.57 (talk • contribs) 21:22, October 22, 2006
I went and updated Leo and Aeris because their pictures were so old as to be barely recognizable. The others have not changed significantly enough to need an update.Rebochan 01:56, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
The VGCats homepage is currently parked and/or snapped up by ad people. Maybe we should add this? Is the comic now defunct? 143.195.110.25 15:58, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Looks like it's all moot... the comic page is back, WHOIS shows expiry of 20 Dec 2007 now. --Reverend Loki 20:09, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
How come you haven't put in major payne? Trunksamurai 00:35, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
He's not a main character is he?--HoneymaneHeghlu meH QaQ jajvam 01:30, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
No, none of them are "main" characters. They're just characters Trunksamurai 22:18, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Since there is a decent amount of criticism over, for instance, the unnecessary (IMO) number of panels and referencing outdated games, I was curious if anyone was interested in developing such a section. - A Link to the Past (talk) 01:49, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Theres no signifigant critisism outside forums and chat circles, most of them by fanboys of other comics, or trolls. vgcatssucks182 isnt exactly a good source, now is he? I dont see any problem with there being to many panels or referencing old games.~sdhonda
Scott probably can't get his hands on the new games as soon as the mags. That'd explain everything.
- Here's some criticism of VGCats. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.238.161.86 (talk) 03:05, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
Should Potatamoto (joke on Miyamoto) be in the minor characters section? He's been in a good 3-4 comics right? He's been in the comic as much as Payne has, and he's in the minor characters section. 82.198.28.230 11:07, 11 April 2007 (UTC)Some Noob
Should the "sadist" link in Aeris's bio link to the S&M page? Surely that should link to Sadistic personality disorder instead. --71.88.48.116 15:05, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Ya that's a better idea. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.245.80.71 (talk)
I need a citation as to whether Aeris is a love interest for Leo. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gp75motorsports (talk • contribs)
Whew. Thanks. I put that up there seeing as Aeris and Leo almost always appear together.
Image:Leo vgcats.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Why is this under furry? The artist has expressed on numerous occassions that when he created the comic, he didn't know what furries were and that now he hates furs. So, unless there's something in here about his dislike of the furry community trying to coopt his comic, I think it should be dropped altogether 209.136.161.135 (talk) 22:14, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
So the article says "Trim the fancruft" - Any hints on what that would be? WhisperToMe (talk) 16:17, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
That would be your typical Wikipedian elitism. They basically mean that since they don't care about the fans of the comic, no one else should have any indication about its fanbase. 70.71.69.224 (talk) 06:54, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
How are primary sources not acceptable for this? I'm not saying secondary sources shouldn't be found - but there are times when it is okay to use primary sources. What does it mean to not need a merchandising section when The Simpsons et al can have merchandising documented? I don't see a problem with explaining the history of VGCats merchandise and how the suppliers changed. Also labeling the links as "spam" is too much - those links are meant to be sources and evidence. WhisperToMe (talk) 18:53, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Someone has suggested that too many non-free images are used in the article. I agree. Should we trim the major characters to Leo, Aeris, Krug and Pantsman? Sillyfolkboy (talk) 09:31, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
I noticed that Image:VG_cats_cast.gif is completely surrounded by Aeris' section. Could someone move it slightly so it isn't like that? Also, I think Leo's section needs to be expanded. It's really small compared to Aeris'. Hawkfrost18 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 22:03, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
Joystiq has a whole lot of articles that mention VG Cats. On a first glance through most look to be fairly short, but somebody else might be able to find something of more substance in there.
Oh, and here's an interview with Scott from CBSNews.com. 76.105.246.26 (talk) 09:43, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
Do we really need on the article "the strip hasn't been updated since November 15" and "the strip hasn't been on a month now"? (btw, the correct link was WP:NOT#NEWS)
See the proposed guideline Wikipedia:Recentism. We should focus on the "timeless facets" of the strip, like how often he delays and how much, or times when he failed to update for relevant reasons (like serious illness or legal problems related to the strip itself). We should not focus on trivial things like how long it has taken since the last strip because he's late as usual. --Enric Naval (talk) 18:33, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
"As of 2008, the first half of one episode, "Episode 1: A Tale of Two Kitties", has been produced. The first episode was released on January 21, 2006"86.46.196.195 (talk) 22:27, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Aegis likes yoai? please re-evaluate this statement.... Are you sure that the last screen with Aegis sleeping is revelent to the yoai Strip????—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.80.36.89 (talk) 02:53, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Perhaps it's about time to take down alot of the minor characters and some of the "major" ones. Scotts Avatar, and, of course, the cats should be the only characters worth mentioning in the article.
Try and look at this from the point of view of someone casually reading this article - do they want to know about every character that has appeared briefly in 3/4 strips?
Should we give it a section or an article or does it not derseve one? RTY1998 (talk) 18:26, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
There are probably many more too.Blake (Talk·Edits) 00:45, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
