Hmm

Well, nothings been going on the past few weeks. I personally only rad about 3/4ths of the manga i used to since OM shut down. How about everyone else? Faring well?

No updates to the website. Latosha is MIA.

Update

Talked to LatoShan today. She is now finding a web designer. Surley but steady people.

By the time this site is up, the whole scans war thats going on will have died down. Either the scanners will win (unlikely but possible) or the publishers. If the scans win, then this site will be on the same level as all the other websites. If the scans lose, we can be a small hidden site. Idk. time will tell. Now im gonna try and get my hands on StarCraft 2

Theres gonna be ALOT of angry people out there soon

Well thanks to international copyright laws and a bunch of other shit, being a manga scanner has now become a serious offense to corporations in Japan and their branches in the US (like Viz Media).

About all the sites going down, fml. The feeling that OneManga is going down just feels weird. idk about you guys but i started reading manga there. It was my first source, and has been one for almost 6 years now.

Well, this site isnt gonna be up this week (idk when really) but my advice...

Find some place to download manga. yes. its that time again. DOWNLOADING MANGA. I havent done that since i found out it was available to read online. My recommendation is go to your favorite manga on your online reading source (OM, or the like) and then find out who the scanners are. Then go to their websites and just keep up to date with them i guess.

Direct sources are quick and reliable.

Good luck

Plan B... Sorta

Well, buying MH is clearly not an option anymore, so we're going back to the old plan of just making a website. The reason shit is so slow around here is cus its just me. I just contacted Latosha (you guys know her from the massive amount of manga she uploaded on MH). Last time i checked she was in charge of the money. Still awaiting a reply. I'll be updating this as soon as i get a reply.

Thanks for sticking by us even with the lack of results i've been showing. - aznasim

Buy out Mangahut

Not sure what the situation is, but apparently mangahut is for sale. They have a new mod called Shao lin (Shadowbutterfly if you remember). So do you think we should just buy the site, and make changes? Restore it to what it once was. Or just make our own.

itll be cool to have my own website, but its less work to buy out mangahut. The less work, the quicker the site is ready to use the faster we get to read manga, everyones happy.

So what do you think?

I'm new to this.

Well everyone First things First.

Hello. I'm aznasim. Like everyone else here I'm an ex-mangahut member. I was a huge leech for a while till some of the admins started leaving. When Static left for the first time I started uploading, then continued until the site fell apart. I've stuck with TheMutiny since it was first made and will stick with it for as long as needed.

Now you might be thinking, "Where the hell is VLing?"

Answer is - Working. She's got alot on her hands right now. Alot. And everyone else you know from MH like Latoshan and Euphoria arent keeping in contact.

Any questions?

For those of you who didn't know

Hey guys,
Reason for why I didn't update is because there actually isn't anything to update. I was going to update when I had news but I guess I should just post anyways.

I haven't seen the designer since about 2 days ago, guess he's pretty busy with college, but when I last spoke to him (2 days ago), he told me he's really close to getting it done.
To make things clear with everyone, since I don't think everyone's on the same page, Rob (designer) is around 16~17 in college, he's by no means a professional webdesigner by occupation but he's doing this for us and he has experience in this area as he does freelance webdesigning jobs.
Also, he's hosting us for free on his server and doing this for us free of charge as well. That's why when I mentioned to give him more time for his other paid jobs, it's because he's doing it for us out of goodwill.

I've shopped around designers,both local and online to ask for prices, and they gave crazy high prices that our donations collected can't be enough to afford both server,domain and labour fees + manga script viewer etc. So for Rob to be doing this for us, I'm really grateful.
Of course, when we were beginning and I haven't met Rob yet, (Originally had another coder and webdesigner to work for us) we were open for donations as we were supposed to pay our previous hired designers for their work. But as time passed, they couldn't produce anything so we moved onto Rob, that's why the process seems to be a little too long.

The donations collected by our bankholder, Latosha is still with us but when I last spoke to her, we agreed to return the donations back to the kind donators as we actually aren't needed to pay for anything. So we didn't want to pocket the donations for ourselves.

I hope this will shed some light on our matter, I didn't want there to be any misunderstandings on where the donations were going, what the designer is doing and why he isn't getting it done, etc.

On a side note,
When the time comes, I plan to step down from the position of co-admin and pass it onto the other admins (Latosha and Sara). And will look into promoting Aznasim into a co-admin/global mod.
I've regrettably come to that decision after some time as I felt like I wasn't able to contribute as much as I would've thought 1 month ago when I still had a job and things were less hectic for me.
Also, with time, I just lost the interest for a bit, and I will be travelling abroad when I have worked and saved up enough.
I will leave the site in the capable hands of the rest of the mutiny members and some others when the site is up.
I did promise a site and a site is what I'll be giving to you guys so I don't intend to leave until the site is up.

Cheers,
VLING

Hey.

Hey guys,

I'm terribly sorry for the long absence based on my part. My personal life has been pacing forward rather fast with my college preparation,work,life and all has been one helluva rollercoaster and it's not stopping anytime soon.

First things first, I've been keeping in touch with the designer for the progress of the site, he had some personal matters to attend to so he told me he's lagging behind in it. Also, he has other paid jobs to do, so I'm trying my best to make sure to remind him not to forget about our site.

If I'm not active as much for this, it's due to the fact that I have alot going on in life, but I'll do what I can to push the site progress forward.
Once again, sorry about this guys, I really hope I don't have to drop out of this project but it seems like I can't give as much as I could about a month ago as things changed too much in my life.


With regards,
VLING

Juicyy Details

Howdy, our dear supporters~
Yes, yes~ It is TIME to give some juicyy details out!

• The website name is mangasaurus. Cute, right? ( Kiss that, Bruce Wane. )
• It should come out in April.
• We will have a 'public upload' feature. You probably will have to register first.
  
• And a 'fast view' feature. The graphic/website designer is frigging genius. And generous, too. HIEL ROB.
• A 'Favorites' feature will be included as well.
  
• There will be hentai. Moar perverts in our community.
  
• As for the community, we will use SMF (Simple Machines Forum). And we're sticking with this one.
  

Well, maybe I should enlighten you with a few boring details? Latoshan32, our wonderful writer, is already working on the hosting policy (you know, hosting manga on our site and such). When she's done, the staff including myself will review it. Have ideas for the policy? Post them. I'll probably start working on the rules for our community forum today.

About the hentai hint up there, you probably would have to have some (non-spam) posts, in order to read hentai. We haven't decided on how many yet. There will be an easy way out though, which is donating. I don't agree with the premium membership myself, but I guess it could help out the community... although it might not sit well with some group scanlations. Anyhow, there will be a special place for donators, somewhere on the site. Also, for top uploaders. : D

Oh and, we'll have a several theme layouts for the site. One of them will be all hentai-ish.
Post 'BOOBIES' if you're that excited.

STATIC, OR WHAT EVER YOU GO BY, DO NOT ADVERTISE YOUR YOUTUBE IN HERE AND CHATANGO. :)

With that said, enjoy your day.

& The Mutiny staff

Current Events...

Hi Pips,

I'll be taking over the Blog for today--week, if all of you are wondering on the website status, it's still on the works. The coder and the designer are on different timezones so it's hard to get them together but vling is talking (bugging) them to do what must be done.

If you are wondering on what is happening on your donations, its on a safe (hiding) place and trust me, they wont go to any of our pockets but to the website's cause.. I pinky promise.

And if you haven't decided on donating yet, please do so its on the side -->
be an AWESOME person, think of the children! =)
I know all of you are dead excited on the new website, but pls. be aware that we wont do it perfectly without your help, we need you, we lust you(lol), so if you decide to donate that would be awesome, if you decide to help in any way, you are greatly welcome and appreciated!

Email us @ themutiny@live.com we will respond, and thank you for following this blog, and for joining this cause, you wont be disappointed.

To sum it up: Website on the works, dontions are safe, we need you too, dont feel left out.

Thank You. Bookmark us and check from time to time.

Donation Link

Heyy guys,

We have set up our bank holder, the fund for the new site is coming from our own pockets but donations will be nice as we need to pay for server , domain, webdesigner and coder, etc..

If you would like to donate, please click on the donate button on the right, any amount is hugely appreciated.
Please leave your name, ign and email when you donate :)

When our site is up, we will put a little board to thank all the people who've helped us and some rewards. We're kinda working on that right now ^^


Thanks again~
VLING

Enough

Guys,

Some of you may not agree with what I'm going to say, and some of you may be pissed. But I think I have to say what I think.
I think the whole deal with Nination is enough. We had the whole period where we were all angry, and did things that might be considered....."jerk moves". In the beginning, we wanted to send MangaHut down in flames, that is true.
But as time went by, it seems kind of silly to keep the hatred. We are setting up a site of our own, and afterall, we did meet each other in MangaHut. Sure we can't agree with Nination, but I'm starting to feel bad for that kid, what with the whole forum trashing and hate against him.
You guys may continue to keep your views about Nination, it's a free country. But let us try to just concentrate on the up-coming site yea?

It's not going to be a competition against Mangahut, it's just going to be a community of friends who can enjoy each other's company in a place.
I sent a quick email to Nination. I said what I had to.
Sooooo. Yea. o______o. That's all.

Update #4

Hi Kiddies,

So as you may have seen from previous post, Shin backed out after going on vacation for a week.
In that week we were expecting things to be ready, and I guess we put too much hope on it.
But anyways, although Shin has backed out, we are still moving full speed ahead with our plans.
We changed some details we originally agreed on,but to date, this is what we have ready

-Website and coders (we are working with them on getting the site up ASAP, it's hard since we're all in different time zones)
-We decided on our site name, but we won't release it until everything is ready
-Also, we have a new bankholder, so if you are looking to help along with our finances for the new site, please let us know.It's very much appreciated ;D

I won't post the donation link until I've finalized everything

-VLING

Update #3

Hey guys,

Sorry I was gone for a couple of days so I had no chance to reply and update you guys on what's going on.
Thank god my best right-wing woman *LOL* Euphoria did so.
Also, I got updated by her that Shin, who was supposed to co-open the manga site with me just decided to back out of the project. Needless to say, I was terribly disappointed.
He claimed to return donations, and I got my money back. But can you guys please double check your paypal ->History, and see if the money is back?
Thanks.


Anyways, we are back to square 1, and honestly, Sara and I been thinking of backing out after Shin's betrayal. But we won't because we promised you guys a manga site. And hell, you guys will get one.

Please just give us some time while we take everything upon us to complete it as best as we could.
If you would like to help us in terms of donations, site help or uploading, you have no idea how much we would appreciate it.

Thanks again guys,

Cheers.
VLING

Update #2

Hi guys,

Sorry if there hasn't been updates lately, been pretty busy with getting stuff done in my personal life.
Anyways, as of right now, I'm not sure how much we've collected so far as Shin is in charge of getting donations and he's away for a trip.
Told me he'd come back after a few days (told me last Thursday) so I'm assuming it will be soon?

A big thanks to everyone who donated, when shin gets back, I'll update you guys on what's happening. But other than that, we've got our plan on what's going to happen, and our webdesigner who's going to be working on our site.

Thanks,
VLING

Update #1

Anyways guys,

I just wanted to post this here in case you guys don't know who I am in MangaHut forums.Funny enough, one of you thought I was someone else, but yea,just to clarify that, you can read this post

http://i44.tinypic.com/295zw5c.jpg

Anyhow, we are in the midst of name selecting for our site, and we would love to hear YOUR opinion for what you think our site should be called, and what we should have in it.
Yup kiddies, we would like to give you a chance to participate in our discussions, so you can feel some pride in being part of our community :)

Unfortunately right now, I can't divulge our forum, but please post ideas down, along with your username/email so I can submit it into our discussions.

And by the way guys, can I count on you for helping me post the email for me to be contacted once our site is up and the word that we would love you guys to death for donations? Thanks :)

-VLING

Please Note

Hey guys,

Some of you are wondering why I'm not sending an individual email but chose to post this here.
Well, I'm kinda lazy to reply to 30+emails, not that I don't appreciate it, but I keep forgetting whom I've replied what to. So to make things easier, I will just post updates and stuff here. So please check back from time to time, and bookmark this page.

First of all, The Mutiny (People who are in with me in this project) would like to say a big thank you for the support we got from you guys.
All of us were once loyal supporters of MangaHut,some of us premium donators,some of us Mods and uploaders who spent the time, effort and put everything into the site, or others, lurkers who were in the community.
We came together as a group of friends who remain tight, and would like to make something similar to what MangaHut was to us, a place we could lurk,(and stalk little kids) or a place to talk about useless things like robbing the bank,etc.
Take note however, we might want to be what MangaHut WAS,not IS. But we will be different in every way. We will take pride in our work and not have biased personal reasons to promote,demote or let the site go up in flames.

We've taken the initiative to make a site of our own where people could find the sanctuary MH(MangaHut) once gave. Some of us chip in from our own pockets, some of us got it from kind donations.

So in summary to my long-ass speech,
Thank you for giving us your kind support, offering any help you could possibily give in terms of offering uploads,donations,etc.

We aren't going to demand you give us some money as what the site is costing us so far is kinda expensive, but we will greatly appreciate any donation that come our way, no matter how small or big the amount, be it a couple of dollars or tens.

If you would care to do so, please head on over to
http://otakami.org
(There's a paypal donate button at the very top)
And list your name, user in MH and Email. Once our site is up and running, we will include a thank you to your username in our site :)

Once again, on behalf of the Staffs and myself,
Thanks and please check back for updates :)
VLING
