What is INDUCKS?

[Hector]

I have heard many people here say ''I want to read that story. Is it in the INDUCKS?''
So, in that place, you can read Disney stories? I tried it and it only has the first page
of every story.

It's a database of every Disney comic ever published, giving it dates and a list of all printings in all countries. Thus, for the most obscure stories, it allows people to know which issues to try and get.

Lol...yeah, I think sometimes some of us forget that this isn't the Inducks message board, which was a hub of English Disney fans until it went down last year (with Featherysociety rising in its place)

I think the reason we bring it up so often is because, once we know a story's origin and code, we can find out if it's appeared in a book we own, or may be able to get.  This board has people from many different countries, and it helps us figure out of a given story has been in our country or language yet.

Was there an Inducks Message Board, that stopped last year???  I've never heard of it.  The DCML ("Disney Comics Mailing List"), was started mainly by INDUCKS indexers (in the early 1990s).  But, THAT, many years later(early 2000s), gave birth to The Disney Comics Forum (DCF), which took many of the regular, non-indexer fans off DCML.  DCF stopped a couple years ago, but last I had heard, The DCML was still operating.

It's also handy to use as a database to keep track of which issues you have and which you don't. Nothing is more frustrating than to go to a new comic shop and buy a bunch of back issues only to find out you already have some of them.

When people wrote this: ''I want to read that story. Is it in the INDUCKS?'', they meant, "Is it (its information) LISTED in INDUCKS?"

I think he meant the DCF (and "last year" probably means, as it usually does, "many years ago but we've lost track of time").

Yeah, I meant DCF--which was hosted by a subdomain of Outducks.org, the sister site of Inducks.org, so I sorta considered it "the Inducks message board". Sorry I wasn't clearer on that.
