Seems that when a duplicate file is uploaded it'll change the file already uploaded to credit the new uploader

This is indeed true, hmm. It's based on the hash of the file which is a checksum and size. I will look into having potentially multiple listings for the same file, though the coming wikification of the site may make this irrelevant. I intend to have uploads going directly into the content folders, and when I review them they then show up for everyone.

I've been trying to add this to link section but it won't accept it so I'll put it here

The Unofficial Ride
The Unofficial Sonic Storytime aka The Ride began as a daily 4chan thread lead by the Unofficial Conductor and their desire to cover every Sonic fancomic and eventually catalogued in its own website. It ran uninterrupted for 2 years

It takes a while to load pages here. Does TKA comic reader support progressive JPEG and/or JXL?

So I re-uploaded StH 71 that I had because Alex uploaded one from the newcomic.info site and, fascinatingly, because that site only changed the file name to include their url the upload now credits me because it's an identical file. Nothing burger but interesting.
