Exclamation Uploading of Binktopia scans is to stop. EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY

As many of you may know Binktopia have run into a recent issue with anime/manga website BleachExile regarding the uploading of their scans (full details here).

I was then prompted to contact the person in charge of Binktopia scans, Binky over at MangaShare in regards to the uploading of their scans on our site. This is what was said:

I would like to stress the at present though, because I for one would very much hope that this won't need to be a permanent step.

Sorry about the trouble.
The PM is rather explanitory but just to reiterate, at the present time we will no longer accept Binktopia scans being uploaded on our servers, so to save you and us time please don't, they will be denied/removed in the end.

All we can hope for is that this issue is resolved soon and that we will be able to enjoy Binktopia scans once again here on MangaFox, and remember to show your respect to the scanlation group by entering their name into the "Scanlator" field when uploading onto our site.

I like it when we can have a good working relationship with scanlators. This site should be a gallery for their work. But I guess that too many don't respect their hard work and effort.

Well, now that Binktopia is watermarking all their pages, perhaps that chance might come along soon?

We'll have to give it time~ n.n v

I guess we will just have to be patient before we can enjoy Binktopia scans again, no?

Ah, sorry. I uploaded a Binktopia scanlation of D Gray Man last night because I hadn't seen this thread. I actually just happened upon it today looking for something else. Sorry sorry!

EDIT: Are we allowed to direct others to Binktopia's website for temporary reading?

I do hope they open it back up to us soon (and that the morons causing them so much trouble are disposed of).

I Know they do a lot of work with popular manga so does anybody know when this ban is going to be lifted and when this problem will be resolved?
