Title says it all.

For now this is just Kurosagi so it should be rather easy to stop the uploading(other series we do are Karate shoukoushi minoru and Bartender, for now). Since you've agreed to Binktopia's request to remove/stop uploading all their series, I assume it's not a problem for such a small group as mine either.

Thanks.

hmm ill keep an eye out in backend for them, but i have to wonder why they have a problem with us posting their scans...

did they give any details as to why?

dylansmom · 07-04-2008, 01:12 PM

Yeah, I read about that request from them.. so I wont upload Bartender anymore.

Charchar · 07-04-2008, 03:27 PM

o.o; Did they want all their works off? Or just the Moar Bad Scans?

Koiya · 07-04-2008, 07:57 PM

I think its just the titles stated above but lets wait for rebith to comment on it in case we are aloud to keep what we have but not uploas anymore from them...

Moar Bad Scans is the group, they want all their releases removed.

Ryuushii · 07-04-2008, 10:01 PM

eh? *speechless*

The impression I got from the PM was that we are allowed to keep what we currently have uploaded from Moar Bad Scans but any future releases from them we aren't allowed to upload.

They didn't give any details as to why they don't want them up, that's just their choice I suppose >_>

Since you agreed to stop uploading, I feel like I should give you a small explanation:

It looks terrible, all our hard work we spend on making a release look good is gone to waste when uploaded to an online reader(qualityloss). What for? To give people the possibility to enjoy all the manga they read in one place? Unfortunately I don't support that point of view, we've made it more than easy to get the releases already. You go to moarbadscans.net and press download and then choose the chapter you want(well first 24hrs are IRC only but that aside), how hard can it be?
We provide this for ourselves and for the fans that want to read their manga in good quality, not for the average ignorant reader who thinks you guys do all the hard work. Yes, I'm referring to the topics where people request for updates. Not that I blame you guys for that... If things are made easy to obtain, ignorant users are right around the corner.
It's not that I am in it for the glory (others in my team might think differently and might get motivated when they read the thanks on our website as it does feel good to read someone enjoys your releases) , but I'd at least like to see how many people enjoy our releases. This is somewhat impossible when it's on an online reader.
Another reason would be that when a series is licensed, we plan to remove the files to support the company that licensed the series. You don't do that (but we all have our own ideas so I don't really care), and we have no control over the chapters WE edited so we can't even delete it when it is licensed or for whatever reason we want it deleted.

Also you can't click on the "scanlator" next to each chapter but you CAN click on the "contributor" who did nothing at all besides leech the chapter and upload it here, don't you think that it should be the other way round? You'd at least hope to be linked to the website of the scanlator.

(Closed) 3. There are new chapters for a manga, how can I get these chapters to be added to the site? 4. A manga has: scanlated chapters that aren't updated into the directory, is disarranged, is missing pages, etc. How can it be fixed? You can check if a manga has new updates in Manga Updates.
