But guess what? Mangafox actually REMOVED the two threads! WTF? The threads were completely within regulations. Around 10 hours later I checked to see if the manga was still up- it was.
But then I noticed there were two forums in the discussion section asking for the manga to be taken down as per the scanlators wishes. So earlier on today I checked on MF to see if they uploaded the latest chapter of "Nobody knows" against her wishes- they did. She's considering giving up scanlating because MF benefits off her work and they don't respect her wishes to stop uploading her work. Only recently I visited a scanlators site (Surasplace, who's been scanlating since 2002 I think). They don’t respect the scanlators’ wishes, they no longer take down mangas upon their scanlators requests, they sell products and gain money from work scanlators did, and they add “Mangafox” watermarks to the chapters- leading readers to believe that they are the source of the scanlated manga- which they aren’t. They literally make tens of thousands (or maybe hundreds of thousands) of dollars in profits for doing damn near nothing. Mangafox is the 1241st top visited site in the world. By accumulating manga stolen from hundreds of groups, they’re able to generate millions of views on their site. They steal the translated manga from the scanlators without handing credit to them. What Mangafox does (and other sites run by NOEZ): Remember, they're regular people like you and me- they have lives, they're not exactly greedy for bringing you manga to read.
Their job (which they don't generally get paid for) is buying raws, scanning, translating, cleaning, redrawing, typesetting, quality checking, and then releasing! They also have to put up with annoying people calling them greedy, and that too after they put in time, effort, money, and dedication to something that probably won't even benefit them. Look, I made a blog post about it, which I'll summarise: So I looked it up, and it turns out mangafox IS pretty evil and it's one of the reasons scanlating groups are dying off- which means less manga for us- cuz, shock! Mangafox isn't the source of scanlations! It's scanlators! You know the ones:"Mangafox is EVILLLLLLL!!!" I feel pretty damn guilty for only now deciding to pay attention to the scanlators messages in between chapters. I know this is long, but bear with me- it's important
