Is mangaupdate down?

yes no maybe

isup.me

I hope it doesn't come back. The admins seem to have completely quit fixing problems with the site a while ago. Maybe now someone will make a decent replacement.

>>161819584
I don't use it outside of checking my lists and doing basic searches/filtering.
What are your issues with it?

>>161819584
Literally what could possibly not work about a completely straight forward author/plot/sclantions information site? Or is it another case of /a/ trying to find something wrong with literally every god damn thing in the world.

>Literally what could possibly not work about a completely straight forward author/plot/sclantions information site?
At the moment, everything. That's what this thread is about in case you hadn't noticed.

I hope it stays dead. They literally stopped hosting links to scanlator sites because
>People only come here for the links!
>People don't contribute to our COMMUNITY

>>161819584
The reason for MU to exist died when the copyright fags made him take down links to scanlators.

>>161820418
It was because of DMCA, nigga

>>161820418
>>161820472
Who cares you losers, they still provide very useful information. Just go to the scanlators site.

>>161820418
Just use mangaupdates-urlfix.

Is there any other alternative for manga updates?

>>161820895
Do you expect a retard like that to even know how to use script?

>>161820966
Which aspect of the site are you looking for as an alternative?
Goddess does a reasonably good impression. After all, they scraped directly from MU.

>>161821022
link to the website?

>>161821022
No, they scrape from batoto.

>>161820078
Holy shit you roasted him

>>161821094
They scraped the metadata (synopsis, tags) from MU.

>>161819584
The only real problem they have is non-dmca-abuse-proof admins. They literally removed all goddamn covers for some series at the drop of a hat, not to mention disaster with links and other things.

>>161821022
What is Goddess?

Seriously though, has there been any word anywhere about the site down?

Every time it goes down I hope it means someone is going to build an alternative, but they never do. I read too much shit to even attempt to keep track of it without a release aggregator.

>>161821710
Already been posted in this very thread my man.

>>161821926
I don't recall them ever going down for more than a day or two; am I wrong in that?

>>161822010
Sure, but what is it? a script or a website?

I just want an alternative for manga updates

>>161819901
it's pretty retarded that the pages for scanlators have links for facebook and twitter but not the actual websites

>>161822010
No link, no discoverable name. Just an assumption we all will know what it is already.

>>161822025
It happens too often for them to be the monopoly on this shit.

>>161822754
Good. Centralization is why most resources are dead.

>>161822754
>>161822134
Archive, use it! PLEASE.

>>161822976
Oh come on faggot, i am not using the archive just to find what is that

Just tell me what is it or fuck off

>>161822976
Yeah that's a great way to find this thread.

>>161823096
I assume he means madokami or some other autismal sekrit club

>>161823096
Going to the archive and finding out what it is should have been your first step. Now you've wasted time waiting for a response even though, due to the nature of the topic, it won't come. Once again, go to the archive and you'll find out why you're not getting answers. Being an aggressive nigger while asking questions regarding something you don't know is never a good way of seeking help either.

Anyways, the two sites don't really compare that well so I'm not sure why it was brought up in the first place Baka is fine and does not really need an alternative.

>>161823263
Seriously? Madokami isn't even better than M-U. What a joke.

>>161823349
>I'm not sure why it was brought up in the first place
It uses the same synopses and tags, and it allows you to "watch" series.

>>161823349
Congrats, you've spent ten minutes not telling someone what the FTP is

Do the Japanese have a site like mangaupdates? Not with the scanlation stuff obviously, but just a compendium of info about mangaka, publication info, searchable by genre or tag, maybe with reviews etc? They must have something right?

>>161821656
>only real problem
It's utter shit if you want to use it as a proper manga database, and that's the problem.

>>161823575
Please list changes you would want.
It sounds like an interesting discussion, at least more than the rest of this thread.

>>161823575
Why?

>>161823396
Yeah well baka is fine the way it is and I literally only use it to jump on and look at the number of chapters/vol, who the author/artist is and what else he did. Don't need anything else.

>>161823543
What the fuck is the point of telling someone what something is if he can't use it anyways you monkey? Instead of having ME explain shit, or post a pastebin that I don't have, it's much easier to go to the archive from the get go and get your information directly from the place that also hosts the fucking pastebin and general information on how to use it.

>>161823672
Not sure why you decided getting mad about all of this was somehow the best course of action to take

>>161823797
At this point it actually has been literally said in this thread, so now you're proving yourself a total fool.

M-U is back up btw.

It's back up
/thread

>>161823797
Are you fucking dumb, bro?>>161823361
This is why no one helps you losers, not because helping is somehow a problem but because you faggots can't even read properly let alone do your own homework.

All I use MU for is a info DB of manga with author info.
Is there more to it?

>>161823962
The tags I suppose but I agree and don't use it for anything else either.

>>161823962
The only person in the thread complaining about the site hasn't bothered to provide any reasons, so I guess not.

>>161823797
It's an FTP server that hosts scanlations

>>161823962
The releases page is the only thing on MU worth your time. That page is amazing and nothing like it exists anywhere else. Very little escapes the notice of the MU releases page. If you aren't just a casual reader of one to two series, it's irreplaceable.

>>161822248
Same for author pages having facebook links but not Pixiv.

>>161823654
If there's something I want, it's a manga version of vgmdb with lists function like on MU.
>>161823669
You can't add oneshots unless they're scanlated now. This alone makes it shit as a DB.

>>161822248
Just use the script

>>161823545
>Do the Japanese have a site like mangaupdates?
I'd like to know this too, especially if it's searchable by tag which is the really useful thing about MU.

>>161824631
Better idea: find a site that isn't run by faggots so you don't need a script.

>>161826139
Why don't you get right on that, since you're not at all afraid of DMCAs.

>>161826210
There's absolutely no reason to be afraid of legal threats if you run everything anonymously which is easy as hell to do with current hosting practices. But then the admins can't collect advertising revenue. (((They))) don't actually give a shit about manga which is why (((they))) don't give a shit if their site sucks.

>>161822248
This used to be a feature on the site, but was removed. I'm sure for a good reason.

>>161819584

MU really needs to be scraped and an alternative made. The mods are fags who bow to paper-thin DMCAs and reject oneshots that aren't scanlated.

>>161823545

Yes, and it's actually pretty well maintained. I don't remember what exactly it was called, but I probably have it bookmarked somewhere. I found it when looking up obscure Garo authors. I'll look for it.

>>161829630
What would the alternative have to do?
Just allow new manga submissions and search?

>>161829777
Please find it.

what's so hard about copy and paste the scanlation name in google. Is 1 minute of your worthless life time not enough to spend?
