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

After the horrors that were faced at Manga Hut, a little bit of waiting will do no harm. I wish you the best of luck VLING. I am anxiously awaiting the site.

Than you for the updates ;).
ReplyDeleteAs long as I know that it will eventually come I'm happy. I just want it to be done right. Not half-assed. So if it means we have to wait we'll wait. It'll just be that much better when it does eventually open. ^_^
ReplyDeleteI hope MangaSaurus comes out strong. I'll still be waiting.
ReplyDeleteI was gonna help mangahut, but after reading KaitenV's apology, I just felt like it wasn't enough for me to forgive. The guy doesn;t deserve to be an admin of a site like that.
So, I quit. (the guy saw my sister naked, not going to let it go)
BTW, Rob (the web-designer) is 16-17 years of age? Very interesting. I hope he can send you sample images of what he's done so far with the site. This will ease our curiosity.
The guy seems very generous, very much accomplished, and also seems very young. Now I think you've found the right person to help you out. Lucky!
PS: AznBoy as co-admin?
This has to be a J.O.K.E! You sure he has good writing skills? No offense to Aznasim, but if this is his attempt on 'being known' more than me, then he's doing a lousy job of it. LOL
lolwut? i didnt ask to be admin, ever. and "being known"?? the hell gave you that idea? if i wanted to "be known" i'd make a youtube channel and do 30 second videos on windows movie maker.
ReplyDeleteGood to know :) Thank you! :D
ReplyDeletestatic owned ..... :D
ReplyDeletegood come back aznasim... no problem with his writing skills right ???
@static , well seeing ur sister naked is really unfortunate but it's actually her fault for trusting a guy to soon....or maybe misjudgment
no offense azula but that's what i think
@Vling well good luck with the rest .... we are all waiting for u :D
Great news, I was really starting to get pessimistic concerning this whole thing. Now I got my hopes up again. Good luck to everyone. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd Static, no need to be upset about aznasim becoming co-admin, right? I'm sure you can deal with it^^. And you are very known in our community, no one will forget you here. ;)
Peace,
Breaky. =)
No, I'm not upset. I'm just surprised.
ReplyDeleteHe isn't the "staff" type...(my opinion)
How about a weekly update? Even if it's just to say "still nuthin" ;p
ReplyDeleteYou never know till you try Static
ReplyDeletei just read kaitenv's apology.
ReplyDeleteat first glance, it looks like he's improved a bit. but then u read down and start thinking "this is how a guy apologizes?". his attitude has not changed much, though at least he had the courtesy to attempt an apology.
i will not be going back to mangahut anytime soon, because kaitenv, instead of just calling everyone jackasses, has instead tried to force the blame onto others instead of taking responsibility. in my opinion, thats lower than just banning everyone.
hey guys, dont mean to sound rushful just want to ask how much longer till sight is up? jw? been anticipating it ever since mangahut rebellion lol. pornguy out.
ReplyDeleteSo, mangasaurus is down. Is it a sign of the site being worked on?
ReplyDeleteYea Its still being worked on unfortunately.
