This will cripple manga scanlations, we need to find an alternative quick.

Why can't you just give the site to someone else? If the admins are already copying everything why do you have to burn the site instead of passing it on?

Dang. Thanks for all your hard work.

 

I do hope that some of the staff decide to create and run a successor in the future. Batoto is such a unifying influence on the (decidedly) scattered scanlating community that its absence will be greatly missed.

 

I do want to know more about how and when we can export our follows. I dont want to lose the list otherwise ill forget most of them >.>

this news really hit me hard...

i've been silent reader and rarely post anything.

and this site really my favorite site to read the manga....

 

thank you for everything.

Thank you for the awesome work to all the mods and admins. Don't know how I'll survive without this site, that's how much I loved being here -- both for the comics and the forums.

[Raze fan]

Why can't you just give the site to someone else to manage? Anyways take care thanks for the work.

[noelleon]

Oh damn... I think, there goes one of my addictions.

Today ... I am a SAD POTATO ... This had become my favorite site for reading manga even if the chapters came out days later then other sites. Thank you for all your years of hard work. This site will be missed.

[Kami]

It was nice, thanks.

Batoto has been the most reliable manga site for ages, thanks to your commitment.

Thank you to everyone involved and best of wishes for your future!

 

Although I wasn't really a part of the community here, I'm sure we'll be having dumb anime arguments on a different site's comments soon enough. See ya!

[GodricKharg]

oh... well damn.  It'll be missed...

 

I wonder if any of the staff have thought to take on the bato domain and try to seamlessly move over?

Btw, I always wondered about the 'only the last 4 most recent chapters' could be read without an account..'   should have IMO made it so only series releases 2+ years old  could be read from the site without a membership...  this way the scraping would effectively (IMO) stop... yea people would complain but maybe admin get more sleep.

 

damn, I wonder where the scanlators will upload to now...

 

side note, if anyone wants to discuss setting a server up, I own scans.today ...  just need a server to direct 'reader' to as my account won't really support what bato does I don't think.

[Thirsk]

Can't say I approve of the decision to burn everything to the ground instead of passing the torch, but c'est la vie. The community is large enough that it will survive through an attempt to cripple it like this. 

[SugarBug]

Thank you for your works, take care.

I've been around since Sept. 2011 and this is the only site that I think is worth a crap to frequent. I've never seen any other site give a damn about the scanlators, the leechers, and artists equally and did it without being pure trash with virus laden ads everywhere. I think we're all going to be worse off without Batoto around. I can honestly say I've read so many manga, that I would never have given a chance normally, or even would have heard of. I'm truly grateful for you guys being around for as long as you have.

 

I hope you get an awesome rest man, you guys have earned it.

[klayes]

Thanks for your hard work, and looks like it's time to spin up a few torrents.

[sasoras]

Thank you, and good luck.
