Damn.

This had to end too soon.

 

Well, this is later to everyone.  See y'all on the flip-side.

I hope the people who are bidding on the website are good people who care about the site and what it is/used to be.

[NippleToaster]

You have done an amazing job creating this site and the team you gathered along the way have worked hard for this. I appreciate all that you guys have done. I'm sad to see this go, but hope that you, and your team, will be able to rest easier without having to worry about this site.

I don't normally post, but I have been reading on this site for over 5 years.  This is by far the best site to read on and it will be missed. Have fun on whatever new adventure comes your way!

[Kindred]

First post. Rest in peace, thank you for everything. I guess its hard to move on from anything huh...

 

Endings are the worst part of any story, something I've learned from hours reading here. I guess that's why I'm so sad now.

[EdHaku]

I've made a lot of great memories reading for hours here. I still am. Until the last minute. Thanks for everything and goodbye.

[Witchdokturr]

My first & last post. Everyday I'd read my follows with my cat in my lap, & beyond being a routine this website expanded my manga horizons farther than ever before.

 

Thank you to everyone who worked hard to make this site such a wonderful experience, you helped this community immeasurably.

Thanks, you'll be thoroughly missed

First post. Thanks for being by far the best place where I could find reliable uploads and collections of a lot of manga. Found some of my favorite series through Batoto and the website was always reliable, easy to use, and provided a great hub for a large number of scanlation projects to upload their work, and for fans to follow them and receive immediate notifications when their favorite series updated.

 

I hope whoever is bidding on the domain name will attempt to retain the site here, or that higher ups on the site have been trying to organize a replacement website. I am disappointed that it is not simply being passed off to another who wants to run it, by scrubbing your info and handing it off or something, considering many people are being asked to back up their work and the site itself. It is fair to be burnt out on trying to run something that is such a massive effort like this. But there are so many small groups that use Batoto as their primary host, and there are a massive amount of uploads and scanlations that might never make it to other sites as they are dead projects. Hopefully there is someone ready to pick up the giant hole that Batoto will be leaving behind for the scanlation community. One of the great benefits of Batoto was not having to follow individual sites for every team or use worse online readers, now most people are going to be forced to find individual group discords or websites to track down their manga, and distribution for these groups will be much harder.

 

All that being said. It is completely fair to be burned out on a project that has taken a lion's share of your time for years.

 

Thanks for all your hard work over the years. You have left your mark on many people across the world. I will miss Batoto greatly. Godspeed.
