Wwith the Spectre of Meltdown haunting me the demise of this oasis of heart will be painfull. A weekly dosis of happy feelings is vanishing into the depths of the hyperspace...

Maybe Bato.to will be saved the same way Nyaa was saved
By someone making an alternative of the website

My first and last post.
Bato was the best site, well designed and pleasure to use.
After today, all other sites will be compared to, but probably never live up to what Bato has achieved.
Fair well Grumpy and staff, thanks for everything.
P.S.
Two things I've learned over the years being here.
If Deathtoll scantilates it, it must be good..
Even if its not that good, PervySageChuck's comments will make it hilarious

I don't know if your addon performs the same function, but I'd recommend to everyone: Go through your list and bookmark the pages of the groups that have given you the manga you loved. The increasingly-censored commercial search engines (Google, etc) can NOT be relied on to help you find them afterward.
Until I did that, I had the mis-impression that there weren't so many. I owe gratitude to a LOT of groups present and past, perhaps with some overlapping members but I imagine there's been a lot of turnover. Scanlating is a nearly-thankless job, and it seems to burn through people like a brush fire.
To all the scanlators who have kept the manga community alive with their generosity: Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. m(_._)m
(And I hope that by some lucky chance, as little of your work as possible will be lost after today.)

Although this is a loss, I completely understand and support both your departure and you deciding to not just give away Batoto to someone else.
Thanks for those seven years, I hope you sleep better from now on.

Thanks for everything! It's truly been one of my light's in life for as long it's been up.
I've found and discovered a lot of beatiful manga here. Most often reading them here to enjoy the translations, buying the real japanese "for studies" (my justification for packing my bags full with manga whenever I travel to japan, hehe).
The forums has also been good. Helpful, positive and respectful, hope you all stay that way!

Thanks very much for you help over the past years eventhough i was not here anyways.
But i can see that the site is a very good website that takes alot of time to manage as I am in the web developing business as well.
Anyways I appreciate the effort you have done over the past 7 years. And while it is really sad for me to see the website closing as I really understand the amount of time you and everyone in the development team spent in making and maintaining it, I am also cheering you on to enjoy your life more like you wished and I reached the conclusion that Batoto should not be hogging you from the fun you want to have and experience.
So eventhough we have not met and I am not an old member here , I truly thank you and respect you from the bottom of my heart for making Batoto come to life.

May your life be as enjoyable a you want.
