#1858681 Batoto will be closing permanently

Posted by PervySageChuck on 19 January 2018 - 03:10 PM

so, why is it still running? am i in the past? time travel?? is this january 19 2017? a year back???

 

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.




#1854392 Features to ease the retirement of batoto

Posted by Ghede on 08 January 2018 - 05:28 PM

Barring of course, the obvious 'find someone else willing to give away their free time maintaining the site' or 'find an archivist willing to preserve the server data until someone arrives to pull the bato.to from the thinking rock and be crowned king of Manga' which are more wishful thinking than actual development possibilities there is one last feature I would request.

 

Release a tool or feature that allows users to automatically export their follow list, including alternate titles, author names, series status (complete/ongoing), latest release information (name of the translating group/uploader and title of release)

 

This could be made easier by having a staggered site shutdown. Images and comments removed first, leaving only the series information to be trawled, severely reducing the server load from such an automated trawling.

 

Eventually, having such a file in a standardized format might allow for another site to import a follows/read list, even if they do not host the actual series.

Going forward, some of the staff members have and still are in the process of backing up the entire Batoto comic content as they have been notified of this decision well in advanced. They may choose to create a new Batoto or something simpler. That will be up to them, but I will no longer be part of running it.

 

Looking forward to this.

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.

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?




#1701034 Contributor Request

Posted by rello on 11 January 2016 - 05:30 AM

Hello, I'm rello from http://vatoto.com/forums/user/216625-rello/

 

I post Helck on this website and would like to request for contributor status.

 

I have read and understood the rules regarding the use of the forum and the website. I am also familiar with the uploading process.

 

It's just me right now and honestly, I didn't even know I had a group page on this site until only recently. I guess it's automatic? So I have my own page here so that's pretty nice.

You're welcome! Please tell me which team you are referring to. If it's Flamengo, then yeah, it's a VERY shitty team!

I meant Coritiba, but Flamengo also fits in that statement~
