404 Grumpy Not Found

(If you look reeeeeally close, you can see all the f@#*s he used to give, drifting out to sea and almost over the horizon.  )

^ UK and NL cdn nodes are fine (I guess you could still use a proxy or sth)

I've been able to use the four listed servers before without trouble (the one labeled EU has been especially reliable), but none of them are currently loading from here.

But if it's still working for someone for now, I'm glad.

From Grumpy's post on this thread:

 

"Services will be severely affected starting January 18th as servers expire, though content may still be accessible for you. By January 25th, critical number of servers will have expired that the site will no longer function. But you should consider 18th to be the last day."

 

So, by his words, we may be able to use this site until the 25th when his contract with the last server company expires.

 

As for me, I will take every extra day with extreme gratitude.

As far as I could tell, we functionally* lost the manga image servers at 10am UTC (not quite six hours ago). Midnight in Honolulu, 2am Pacific, 4am Central, 5am Eastern, 10am London, 7pm Tokyo. I'm guessing that was most of the load, and I'm also guessing the people running the aggregators are in a pre-panic befuddled state.

Going to miss you, Chuck. (Edit: Would either Ero-Chuck or PSC be a better choice, now that it's almost moot?)

* - Right at that time, I got the first dreaded "CDN LAX". I got a few more images, but within twenty minutes it was "CDN LAX" every time.

Main site is still up for now, at

8:15pm Friday in Kiritimati.

3:15pm Friday in Tokyo.

6:15am Friday in London.

12:15am Friday in Dallas.

10:15pm Thursday in Los Angeles.

8:15pm Thursday in Honolulu.

6:15pm Thursday in Baker Island.

If anybody is interested i made a small addon for backuping manga list.

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.)
