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.

“Productive”?
Should be "production" but often just referred to as "prod". Meaning the actual website the character/author is trying to use rather than a developer/staging website.
"prod" remains "production" even if used as an adjective? Man, English really is weird sometimes. I'll try to fix it later; I'm at work right now.
It's a system that is in production, it is the product, a production system, not a system that is producing.
I suppose that is a very native English thing. Sorry! Hope that helps.
"Production" refers to the released version of the software. "Productive" can refer to how useful something is, so I guess a productive website would be one that you use for work.
Production/prod is a noun in this case. It's the name of the system/environment. Converting the noun into an adjective just doesn't make sense.
