In Topic: Introducing www.mangalism.com, manga upload site dedicated to readers, upload...

Hey Cruz.

If you don't detest negative feedback (sorry about that, but it's meant in a constructive way), there's in my eyes an issue with your site.

I don't remember how it's called, I've also had it with some linux image viewer programs...

To describe it, it's the idea that we scroll down to view the bottom of an image... hit the button to move to the next image... and the next image is loaded from the previous image's last scrolling position, thus from the bottom.

And it's unfriendly, picture us reading, we scroll down to the bottom of an image, hit to view the next image... but we must first scroll up to view the image from the top.

 

No idea if it's doable, but if you could add, when we hit the previous/next button, a command to position the window back, it would be good.

 

Good luck with your site, I wish you well :)


In Topic: Ew. The site made with the bought bato.to domain. Ew.

It's not terrible, but i guess on the plus side they haven't watermarked the shit out of every single comic.

 
Er. The first manga I tried to read, had mangastream and mangapanda watermarks, and while the originals were 3000 px high, the images were severely downscaled with shitty compression.
 

...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.


That's what rattles me, that for some people it will look like Batoto is still here. I'd have preferred it to link to crunchyroll with an affiliation link, or straight porn, personally ^^

 

Edit: but on second thought, if that allowed Grumpy to leave with a comfortable sum (no idea), it's worth it.


In Topic: New manga site like bato.to

I'm also looking for a site like this(though I think everyone is); but if it helps, here are some sites you SHOULDN'T go to. The ones I heard about, I heard about through yahoo answers or reddit threads.

Mangad*ep- Has malware ads, but aren't very obtrusive. Probably best bet so far; thanks kingpipot89!

Mangap*nda- has instant redirects and pop-ups. For me it was completely unusable.

Mangastre*m- heard it has exactly the same problems as Mangap*nda.

Mangare*der- has same problems as aforementioned sites.

Mangah*re- heard it has malware ads and redirects.

Mang*go- has malware ads and redirects.

Kis*manga- has alware ads and horrible navigation that causes you to click them unintentionally. Also redirects.

Mangaf*x- Has malware ads and pop-ups.

Onem*nga- heard it has malware ads and redirects.

Mangap*rk- obtrusive malware ads.

Thespe*trum- has malware ads and redirects.

I'm updating this as I find or remember more sites. Also, most of these sites are still usable with the proper ad-blocks, I personally would just rather stay away from sites that try to give you viruses( or affiliate with ad companies who do the same).

 

 

Mangastream is legit, they're scanlators and share their own scanlations in high resolution. I feel it ought not to be on that list.

 

On another concern, I feel that if some have in their bookmarks quality sites with quality contents, they will not want to share it in public, for fear these sites will eventually crumble under leechbot traffic and die from DMCAs.
 


In Topic: Batoto will be closing permanently

Batoto has played an irreplaceable role for me during several years, I will be sad to let it go.

 

Grumpy? You have bettered by a significant margin the lives of dozens of thousands of people (and probably more!) across many years, this is something only few can boast of, you have every reason to be proud :)

 

I wish you the best in the rest of your life. Be a bit selfish, take care of yourself, and fare well :)
