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.

Don't use real answers. "Security" questions have the same 'authority' as passwords (they can be used to change your password), but are often not treated with the same level of care as actual passwords.
Meaning, SQ are often easier for a hacker to figure out and exploit. In that event, SQs are actually worse than passwords, because they're "unchangeable" (well, the real answer is). So if an SQ answer gets compromised, you're SOL
The best option is to use a password manager, and randomly generate passwords and SQ answers (i use 1Password, but there are other good options)
Edit: oh and, if you use real answers, then those are more likely to be publicly searchable on Facebook or socially engineered (like a "which dog are you" quiz)
