Wow! Two replies and I'm blushing!

First, thank you both. I haven't delved deeply into the forums yet since I only just arrived. But I like what both of you have written. It reinforces my feeling that this is the place to be for my manga addiction.

I am a bit embarrassed by my introductory rant, having slept on it now, but I still stand by it all because it is how I feel.

Weaper:

You are probably correct in suggesting the scanlators I approached were larger. I don't know how to tell how big any of them are. Every scanlator site I visit seems to have what I view as a respectably-sized project list, so I'm just not able to discern such things yet because I lack a frame of reference. I won't mention titles or names because that would give away who they are and I don't want it to be about that.

You are also correct in that the watermark did its job. In retrospect, I applaud the bold move, but I still suggest a change in tactic. Or perhaps it isn't a change at all. I suggest that you re-release a version, water-mark free on the key art pages, or perhaps control a download version that you only send upon request? I don't know. I still have a big problem with defacing the mangaka's work, as you can probably tell.


To amend my introduction post:

I suppose it's evident now that I'm a tsundere whose dam broke and a bunch of stuff gushed out uncontrolled (sort of). I apologize to anyone who was offended.

And with that, I'll be quiet now. <blushes>
