Tapas should have this category

updated to add a few more oldies from my list

I was looking at the front page and we have the "New from the Community" section, but for some reason my mind thought it would be hilarious if there was an "Old/Ancient from the Community" or "That's STILL Updating?!?" category. It would showcase series that have been on Tapas for at least 4-5 years and are still putting out episodes XD I have quite a few that I read on a regular basis that I subscribed to waaay back when I found Tapas in 2015. The oldest ones in my reading collection that are currently not on Hiatus are:

Anyone else have older series they are still reading and want to recommend? I love reading new series, but finding some of the older gems is getting difficult.

Oldest comic in my library that still updates is Oni x Fox. Started in 2015!

That's a great one to read!

I LOVE that idea though it also made me realised how many of the series I used to read when I joined tapas are dropped or on hiatus. It seems that half of my library are discontinued series
ANYWAY,
Unfamiliar started in 2016 and is still alive:

Back to Eden started in 2015, and while there was no new episode since February, the author made some return attempts so I keep my fingers crossed for it return to regular updates:

Terra Prima started in 2018 and is still updating!

...and if it's okay to post our own, 6,75 started in 2015 and while there 3 years of hiatus, I returned to regular uploads in 2021

This is what I discovered, too, when going through my list of comics I'm subbed to. Obviously life circumstances come into play with different creators, but it does make me sad when a series I really enjoyed disappears or is discontinued. Thank you for your suggestions of series I can check out!

This is a great list! There's a few series I'm current on, but several I didn't know about! Thanks!

That's a great idea, actually! For when you started reading one, forgot to sub, and then never found it again.
It would also be great if they added again the old category they used to have on the front page for NEW, it had every comic that just updated and it moved really fast, but it was the best way to find new stuff bar none.

Haaa....my comic is not in the recommended list....I guess I should work harder to make it happen.

It looks like your series is a bit too new to be listed on this particular thread as we're trying to put together a list of older comics that started in 2017 or earlier. So don't let it worry you that you haven't been recommended! If you do have a series that you're subbed to that meets the 'oldie' requirement, please let us know about it!

I lost a few bookmarks when Tapas did their major overhaul of the site, and I've never found them again I really liked the newly updated category, too. I was able to find a lot of new series that way and the ones that I forgot to sub to initially ^_^;

Old series I found...

A lot of the gag-a-day series tend to be very old due to that being very popular in the mid 2010s thus got more of a boost in the algorithm. And some of these are still going on sites outside of Tapas.

My series is also old.

May 2016. Tho I started posting it to Smackjeeves in Jun 2015
