There was this program called "Free Manga Downloader (FMD) v0.9" that allows you to download manga from different sites, you should check it.

I got the program somewhere, I can upload it if u want it, let me know

Cheers

I found out where madokami stored all of their manga, i believe, and they'r still up and free. Either that or a site rip? If anyone is interested i can give the link....however I'm uncertain of the rules for posting links.

Madokami has been significantly slow this previous weeks and I'm afraid it's dying.
Is the link still up? If so, can I have the link? TIA

So, what i jad found wasnt actually their whole backup. Think it was more or less a site rip. And its all the titles that begin with one or two letters. ( i think it was m thru s or something).

Its somewhere on

Madokami is definitely the best place to get manga, it started out as one of the mirrors of the old MangaTrader site after that went down and the site owner shared out a mirror of all the content with a handful of individuals before shutting the servers down for good. Unfortunately it's run by some rather juvenile and lazy folks who seem to get off on excluding people from their private club. Registration is closed more often than it's open and you have to use their IRC channel pretty regularly for a long time to catch the registration when its open again for a brief window. Luckily for me I got in years ago before they started getting pretty bad about the registration.

Quite a lot of the stuff that gets posted there are rehosts of varying quality weekly scanlation issues grabbed from a few of the bigger online reader sites. Though some stuff is also higher quality officially translated English versions of either weekly or volume releases that get snagged and repacked.

Indeed, some chapters has the same quality as the ones uploaded in online manga sites (specially the newly uploaded chapters) and that's why I wait for months until someone compile the chapters (of good quality) into their respective volumes.

Though, I think the way they control the member count is a good thing since it benefits the website and the (few) members as a whole considering how hard it is to maintain a small website with what few people they have.

I've spent enough time in their IRC in the past to know that the self-appointed gatekeepers are often little more than petty control freaks who relish the chance to rub it in other people's faces. They get off on kicking people from the channel any time anyone dares ask about registration.

I also know from experience they're pretty lazy as well, since quite a while ago I was trying to get uploader status so I could help clean things up and fill in some blanks. I'm a bit obsessive in the way I manage my manga collection. I always unpack the archives I download, clean up their dir structure and naming, I also clean up the covers in GIMP to paint out seams/artifacts and correct the colors and search the net for missing pages to add in, that sort of stuff. But after weeks of trying to get a response I gave up.

So I wouldn't waste my time trying to give them too much credit, there are basically a pretty small handful of people that do the bulk of the uploading and I doubt there is much overlap between them and those who get the final say in who gets in. That tends to be the fate of all closed wall internet communities that don't have a dependable leader with the community's best interest at heart. You just end up with a bunch of nepotism and assholes filling the power void to inflate their pathetic egos.

Oof, sounds like a small-scale capitalism to me. I just hope they pay attention towards those who are willing to help, in the near future. Well, it looks like they haven't gone past the stage where they think that the website only revolves around them and only act for their own benefit.

Hi, I'm looking for a horror magazine, specifically one that featured 2 old and probably one-shot horror stories that I read more than 10 years ago. I believe they were one-shots because, if I remember correctly, they were short and had an ending after around 7 to 10 pages. They had a manga art style and were probably in a horror magazine. Here's what I remember about at least 2 of the shorts:

  1. The first one is set in a school with some kind of disease that makes people's heads puff up and then explode, spreading the disease to others. In the final scene, the main characters (MC and possibly the female main character, FMC) think they are safe because there is a helicopter in the sky, and they are the only survivors. However, one of them has their head puff up and explode as well.
  2. The second one is vaguer in my memory, possibly because there are many parasite manga now, and my recollection might be affected by them. It is about parasites and also set in a school. One student has their belly opened up by hundreds of parasites that look like worms.
When I read it, I was probably still around 13 years old and I'm from Vietnam. I don't think my English at that time was good enough to understand the plot, so it was probably a translated magazine since I was able to tell what was going on. I wish to find it either in translated Vietnamese version or its English/Japanese version
