[Gendalph]

I've just added and uploaded 2 scanalations of Digimortal (by ... and Illuminati-Manga) http://vatoto.com/comic/_/comics/digimortal-r10722
It was included as extra-story in Abara volume 2, however according to ioioio it wasn't listed in volume contents. Also there was almost no info about it on the Internet - it was listed separately on Baka, listed as synonymous to Abara on MAL and there was no info on it here, so I went and uploaded it.

Here's the chat log on this

Spoiler

<Gendalph> hey, powha or ioioio
<Gendalph> can I upload Digimortal by ... to Batoto?
<Gendalph> it's an inactive group but there are some releases by this group already on Batoto
<Gendalph> and Digimortal is not there
<ioioio> Is the name of the group "..."?
<Gendalph> yes
<Gendalph> there are some joint chapters of Abara done by them, one chap soloely by them and some other manga
<Gendalph> all on Batoto
<ioioio> Well, the policy in such situations is to keep upholding the rules of the group. For example, if they didn't allow hosting back when they were active, then we wouldn't upload their stuff now.
<ioioio> However there is no site available where we can check that so I don't know how to act.
<Gendalph> they're off the internet now, compltetely
<ioioio> In such situations I would say to upload it.
<Gendalph> however there are some chapters already uploaded for quite some time
<Gendalph> okay, here goes nothing...
<ioioio> Uhm, what do you mean by that?
<Gendalph> I'm creating it on Batoto and uploading
<ioioio> Oh, okay.
<Gendalph> since I've got my contributor status with 0 uploads, I thpught of asking if I could do it
<Gendalph> so that I don't screw up
<Gendalph> done, everything seems fine
<ioioio> Dude, I just realized that but Digimortal is included as an extra story in Abara. Therefore we just made a duplicate.
<ioioio> http://vatoto.com/read/_/135695/abara_v2_ch12_by_-
<Gendalph> ok, then why it's separate on Baka?
<Gendalph> http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=2045
<Gendalph> hmm
<Gendalph> anyway, let it stay that way
<ioioio> Yeah, I think it should be a separate comic entry because the story is not in the list of contents of the volume of Abara.
<ioioio> But then again, I guess Illuminati's version is better.
<ioioio> I guess I will have to create a forum thread explaining all of that so some comic mod can fix it.
<Gendalph> like go to QA and post a thread "delete Abara c12 - it was separated to Digimortal"?
<ioioio> Yeah, I was thinking about something like that. But I have some work I need to finish now so I will do it in about an hour.
<Gendalph> I might download Illuminati's version right now
<Gendalph> and upload it to Batoto
<Gendalph> and make a thread explaining the situation
<ioioio> If you do that, that would be really cool and save me some time and effort.

IMO: it should stay separate, and extra-story/chapters 11-12 should be removed from Abara. It should also be noted in description.
