#1852997 Batoto will be closing permanently

Posted by achyif on 07 January 2018 - 09:03 PM

interested in seeing how things will develop for scanlation from here.

This will probably suck the most for smaller series and scan groups.

What is preventing you from giving management to someone else? Being site owner doesn't mean you have to keep eye on it all the time.

I fail to see how this is a problem with bato.to and not a problem with your mindset. Bato.to seems to only cause your life problems because you are making so that it caused you problems, by wanting to be omnipresent and setting alarms for crashes and everything.

You don't need to do that. Hire someone to take care of site and stay as owner of the site who simply owns the place. Hiring people or finding someone else to keep this place up should not be a problem.

This is gonna be a huge drawback for everyone, starting from normal viewers to scanlation groups, plus the manga media going to be less streamlined from it.

I see no reason why you could not just hire/find people to develop/maintain the site, while you can just being an Owner of it. At this point the site should been big enough long time ago so that it should be able to be profitable to cover expenses for itself so that you could hire people to maintain and develop the site, instead of doing all the work yourself.

Instead of bruning it and casting aside all the work that gone into all this.

Anyways thanks for hard work, but you should really reconsider your decisions, it looks like a selfish resolution.
