Tech Support Comedy, or TSC, is a website dedicated to frustrated tech support workers from all over the world and the customers they deal with constantly. It was created by member Hawk, an ex-tech support worker, in March of 2000, originally as a web comic. It quickly grew into a bulletin board for reader submissions and soon added the ability for members to comment on the submissions. Since then, the site has grown in both membership and content daily, with over 9,000 members and more than 60,000 story submissions. TSC is currently the largest online community of IT workers found anywhere on the web.
Submission categoried to TSC include Tech Stories, Customer Misconceptions, Tech Support Rules, Customer Types, Co-worker Types, Customer E-mails, End User Phrase of the Day (EUPOTD), Tech Songs, Cool Links, SoapBox, and Tech Calls, where actual calls to tech support can be heard. Also, an IRC chatroom exists: channel #TSC on the Nightstar IRC network. Membership in the IRC channel is restricted to site members.
