you don't shock your liver.. you transplant it. or use one of those blood washer device thingy to clean your blood till u find a match

Unfortunately there is nothing we can do, I've been systematically banning all the spam bot accounts (I've finnaly figured out that they are selling credit card details and card skimmers), but I don't have constant access and I can't keep up. Also I can only ban after they've posted and there is nothing I can do about the posts themselves. I was hoping that they would just go away, but now I'm thinking about contacting the people behind vbulletin and asking for the forum to be shut down.

For now I advise that everyone cancels their subscriptions and starts looking for a new haunt. It's sad that ST is going out this way.

but hey
what happened to mangashark anyway?

"exodus"

but it would be fun if someone save a backup of ST database

What, so that's it?

R.I.P. ST

I dunno. JCafe doesn't have the same feel. Oh, well.

Maybe R3D and Sakura are competing for Mod position because they have some other agenda to ban each other lol.

Hi Morten, long time no see, the Jcafe place seems dead... lol

Hello...

Well, I don't have any time to work on the RPG. But if you wanna finish it then I'll continue next month. I need a vacation from scanlation...

but the manga links still work so maybe there's something to it, I know no ones gonna keep donating when the forums are flooded with spam.


....damnm, Ive been here for Almost five years -.- Time sure flies.

I only heard that from another admin of another manga site. He also doesn't know about the new owner, just that the "founding" has changed and that it is a company...

Well, jC has been under constant developments since last year. I still think that it needs more manga discussion related topics...
About the feel: Yeah, it's not the same feel as old ST, but it depends how you participate.
Currently I'm thinking about a ST Club in the club section so the old ST people can continue their convos there and get familiar with the new environment...
