What if no one replaces dex and we never ever have a centralized manga hub ever again???

Self-admitted newfag. Can someone give me the history of MangaDex and it’s predecessors?

We'll go back to groups having to maintain their own websites or other forms of distribution. It was decentralized, and therefore was not vulnerable to a single massive takedown. It was better.

Mangadex got hit with DMCA like 3 times already, does anyone else remember that time they got shut down for months? that sucked, I lost my account i had from back then too and the website got way shottier since then

speaking of reminiscing, does anyone remember sniff brat ass poster? i miss him

it’s

No, dumbass.

eww, AI

Look, I’ve been out of school for years now. Can’t you cut me a little bit of slack?

tumor shrivels up

good
another one will take its place like the last four times

Touhou should have ended after 16, Okina was the perfect final boss and everything after it wasnt needed even if I do like Yachie

Yeah using baka updates manga for tracking is the best since it can’t be DMCA’d and it links to scanslators websites. It pretty much has all manga and even most LNs now. I’d say it even has the best searching and filtering for finding series. Hopefully newfags learn.

The new dex needs to allow loli because it keeps making normalfags mad. And because I want to be able to upload the loli porn I translate to another site besides the panda.

You said this last time
and the time before that
and the time before that

If only the scanlators themselves cared enough to keep it up to date. I hope they start informing updates there after this shit, if only to kbow where they chose to migrate.

Anon Babble will die before that happens

mangaupdates has been lagging on up to date info with everyone putting more effort into the MAL manga database

We'll go back to groups having to maintain their own websites

have you seen the monetization shenanigans groups are up to? luckily a somewhat recent adpocalypse has saved us from having every other image and link being an ad, but now everything is paywalled. this is not the future you want.

Shit comes and goes all the time, nothing will change except the url

put something that looks good in your game

somebody doesn't like the way you made it

sleep soundly anyway

lol stay mad

that's what people said about batoto

baka updates

forgetting the time they got hit with a dmca for hosting volume covers

MAL manga database

Aren't those fags trying to keep a squeaky clean profile? Do they really keep tabs on scanlations?

the trashheap of a site is gone for realz

Daiz will just come for the new one anyway. We can't escape him.

I'm not promoting them, I just know their database has more contributors currently

adpocalypse

QRD?

What surprised me is that people are still defending Mangadex after this bullshit. It'd be so fucking funny if these people will still defend them after they get bought out by Sony or Kakao in under a year or two. I'll just assume its zoomers who are too young to remember Crunchyroll and Fakku.

promoting

Nah, I don't care about that. I just wouldn't expect them to muddle themselves with scanlators.

It's too late for them to go the CR or Jewcob route, I think. But yeah, they don't deserve any remorse.

imagine entire pages filled with layers of ads and every link has to go through an ad redirect. advertisers were like naw you can't do that anymore so groups had to find other ways to generate money like asking for donations or making readers buy their website currency to read paywalled chapters.

What's wrong with Mangadex? aside from the deleting of old accounts

complying to legal authorities
leftist style content & forum moderation

i hope weebcentral doesnt become the main hub because their comment section is dogshit
half of the fun in mangadex was the forum

Well that's just how it is when you're a popular website I wouldnt really blame them for that, do you have an egreggious example of censorship or did you just get banned for saying nigger?

my favorite scanlator chinchiro_addict got banned and I have no idea why so I'm curious to know

Manga will go back to being the elitist hobby it was supposed to be.

weebcentral is also missing a ton of series, comick.io is a better option at this point

weebcentral (used to be mangasee) shadowbanned me and my group, so they skipped scrapping my uploads from mangadex lmao

Why have comments at all other than to provide feedback on the TL itself?

We can only hope

i havent even used mangadex in like 5 years and ive kept up to date with everything

anyone knows what happend to platinumscans?

nyaa's been missing a lot of stuff in the last two years

Now that most people use stuff like Mihon, all you have to do is get the extension for every scanslator whose releases you read, and then you'll ideally get your chapters faster than from mangadex, though those who don't use their own sites and only host on mangadex are a problem.

if youre a scanlator can you upload directly to comick or are they just scrapers?

No big deal, all translators gonna move somewhere else and we gonna move with them
Who do you think gonna be the lucky website?

faggot ass summer break tourists overblowing shit again

just use mangafox

mal le bad

mangadex... le GOOOD?!??!?

site gets DMCA'd

deleted content gets reuploaded in a few days or on another site

site gets DMCA'd again

deleted content gets reuploaded again in a few days or on another site

repeat

That's how it works. Only normalfags and retards panic over it.

Mangastream, mangapanda, kissmanga all died one time or another. Are you 18?

QRD? They uploaded a chapter of Kurakon just today.
