You knew who you were
but now
You know Nothing.
It is odd
how I can feel
thee.
Thee.
Thou art
but a memory.
A memory of days
past.
Nights lighter than
sunrise.
Thou art,
Thou were
The first love
worth
fighting for,
struggling for.
But never did
I see.
I could not recognise
Thee.
I have never
really
been
someone to attempt poetry.
It's just not my thing.
But tonight
I toast to thee,
to you.
A friend
long passed.
We will never meet again.
I will never hear your voice
one more time.
That time has passed.
I did not know.
And I am left
with nothing but
a memory
of fairies
fair and
heroes strong
and selfless.
But I am
nothing
but the villain.
Let the world return
to nothingness,
dark.
Darker than
the Devil King's own
soul.
We shall never meet again,
but I miss you.
And he,
that guy,
the one we both know.
He's just as
gone
as you.
So where should I look?
How do I find thee?
Find you?
I have been left
alone.
And the World
does not want me.
Dead Means
there's no returning.
No happily ever
after.
Emptiness is left
behind
me.
I walked
Across the Earth
but could not find
you.
Only you were
nowhere
to be found.

I just decide to visit the site on a whim and I already feel the old wound starting to burst open, especially considering the best alternative we get after potato's death is fucking mangadex.
Damn.

#1857839 ANOTHER SITE LIKE THIS!!! LINK! PLEASE SHARE WITH EVERYONE!

There is another Manga Site that looks like it could be something special like Batoto was for all of us.
Tetrasky in another forum post said this and we need to draw more attention to it!
Go to that website and talk to all the scanlators that you know, we can keep on going, just on a different site if needed. Something similar happened to a different site that I frequented (though YoManga was muddled in a pit of controversy to go with it) and they managed to migrate and stay strong despite losing the initial site.
WE CAN DO THE SAME!!! DON'T GIVE UP, JUST GET UP!
Here's hoping https://mangadex.com will be able to attract scanlators and increase their repertoire. It seems to be starting nicely so far.
If anyone can succeed Batoto, it's Doki.

Batoto is not affiliated in any way with Mangapark/Mangawindow that is the current owner of the bato.to domain. Direct any questions, complaints or suggestions towards them.
All that's left of Batoto is vatoto.com.

How exactly does that work? I don't want to start a new topic, just to try it out.
Right next to the [MultiQuote] and [Quote] buttons on the right corner of a post there will be a [Mark Solved] button that will appear if you're the original poster. Once you mark a specific topic as "answered", the marked post will appear at the very top of the thread and the thread itself will be marked by an "Answered" tag when viewed in the forum's list.

I have updated the logo on all the themes now.
Setup new analytics and webmasters tools for the site.

Recached everything.
Reconfiged everything... stupid site has way too many specific rules.
Updated urls on chat
Wrote up prettier dead notice on bato.to, which now deletes all cookies on visit.
Removed ad codes from everywhere I can remember.
Added dog.
Did I miss anything? Why am I making work for myself?
--------------
Updated privacy, tos and abuse pages.
Updated IPB license.
#1862423 Ew. The site made with the bought bato.to domain. Ew.

They literally copied mangawindow site, and just replaced the name with batoto,it's just lazy. I have a question, can't they use the same layout as batoto?
Well, I own the copyright to the layout as I made it. It's also built on top of the theme that I bought/licensed from IPS theme designing company (IPSFocus). Lastly, IPS itself. So, they would be infringing on three copyright owners issues if they copied ours.
But there's nothing physically stopping them.
So... they can, but they shouldn't.
I'm not too surprised[...]
Batoto was just an image hosting site with convenient sorting and a forum. Don't be calling us names now! 
Number of companies actually already worked with us and actually had another one that was rolling out before I told them sorry for wasting their time. So, I don't really think they were shy from being associated with us.
One company whom I was in contact with was super into buying it. But couldn't convince their CEO. So, there is a lot of mixed desires on their side too.
The quantity of batoto traffic + smooth transition is worth seriously quite a lot. I actually had the site evaluated with a consultant prior to approaching them. To a strategic buyer (like manga publisher), I was supposed to approach them with low 6 figure (for site, not just domain). But did warn me that the strategic route of selling rarely work and shouldn't get my hopes up simply because they usually don't assign a budget for this type of nature, even for large companies. Meaning, they'd have to reassign their budget to make it work. This was a super bargain though. Still feel like a big loss of opportunity for them.
In the end, market has spoken. The domain's value is 5k and it's where it's sold.

It is weird. But oh well...
I actually approached other official publishers prior to putting domain up for auction to see if they're interested. From about a month and half before the announcement. Sadly, I either never got a reply or got turned down. I found that so stupid. They spend so much more money on advertising already and they were willing to let go of an extremely effective promo ability.
That's why I ultimately just sold it to market. At the point where publishers already declined, the only potential buyers left was random fan or a buyer like now. At least it's not malicious, so I can't complain... yet.
#1857113 To all scanlators without a web site

At the moment the only way for users to easily find group releases is mangaupdates.
For legal reasons mangaupdates removed all links to scanlator sites but there is a tampermonkey script that restores them https://github.com/loadletter/mangaupdates-urlfix
Anyone can update a site with that script by clicking "Suggest an update" ( details at bottom of page https://github.com/loadletter/mangaupdates-urlfix)
You can set up a free web site with wordpress, blogspot or even simple text with ghostbin
There are many entries from small groups, usually single person, that list batoto as their site. Please update so users can easily find your scans.

...Honestly I'm just glad that this was more profitable to someone than pornography was.
It does feel a little wrong though. Like it will be misused to represent their site as batoto to casual readers, or more frustratingly to anyone who followed any old notices saying "please use batoto". Such people will be few, though, I think.

I wasn't expecting any better, but it's still quite sad to see what has come from buying the bato.to domain
One of the mangapanda-like network of reader sites.
I hope Grumpy sold it for a fortune, at least.
BTW, while I'm here, I wish you guys well in the future, wherever you land to, no matter what reader site you end up picking
