GoComics

GoComics, often abbreviated to "GC", is a website that allows people to read many popular comics for free, including Big Nate, which this wiki is based on.

The GoComics website can be found here.

There are two different kinds of Big Nate strips in the GoComics website and they are: Big Nate and one in Spanish: Nate El Grande. There was once three comic strips, called Big Nate: First Class, but it was deleted around December 2023.

Premium Trial
Upon pressing the "Free Trial" or the "Start Here" button, (for Start Here, press Free Trial) you will be asked for your credential information. After this has been done, you will receive your Premium Membership, this grants many perks such as no advertisements and a green "PREMIUM MEMBER" tag next to your name.

Comment Section
The site has a comment section on every comic that allows users to talk about the comic (although it gets off-topic quite often). This wiki is a place where the commenters from the Big Nate comment section come to hang out and talk, as well as doing polls, which might get pretty off-topic and off topic polls on GC can start fights. If not for the comment section on GC, this wiki would not exist, and all of us commenters would most likely never have met. To comment on GC you must first make an account using sign up or free trial (If you click free trial you will have to pay a monthly membership after a month for the premium membership). There is also a verification system in place to make sure alts don't get in(it doesn't work that well).

The GoComics Comment Section is moderated by moderators who have the power to delete any comments they find as "spam" and they may ban users who they find are causing trouble.

GoComics Moderators
The GoComics mods are infamous for their poor moderation of the BNCS. The users usually think that moderators either ban random and good people without a reason and they are too lazy to monitor the comment section and delete the polls. We don't know how people become moderators, but it has been confirmed that user from the comment section can't became mods.

GoComics Creators
The GoComics creators are people who create comics on the site, for example Lincoln Peirce, whose account is named Bignate. They have a tag next to their name so you know it’s the real one.

Most Useless Comics (Opinion)
The Comic Strip That Has A Finale Every Day by John “Scully” Scully, a comic that is literally every day a rerun of the same strip, and this one comic named the origin of the Sunday Strip, with the oldest comics and The Far Side, a popular comic that may be confusing at times, as it often has complex or dark comics that have a lot of logic into them. The "useless" part is only an opinion, but these comics are indeed not very much read.

This is an opinion.

Archive
You can go back and see all the previously published comics, for example, with Peanuts, you can go back all the way to 1950. But some comics are all reruns like Peanuts because either 1) the creator has retired or 2) he/she has died.

Ownership
GoComics is owned by Universal Press Syndicate forever, and Andrews Mcmeel Publishing.

Comment Policy and rules
The mods have a comment policy that users have to follow to not be banned. Most users don't follow this because they know that mods barely do their job and they can get verified quickly. However, in mid 2022, the mods implemented a censor system to make sure that people would stop trolling. This could be avoided with many sites, so it was more of a nuisance.
