I take offense to being called a retarded monkey!
But to be fair... I think Gum was just trying to get me to finish the interview since everything from mine was actually taken from IRC logs. Ahaha.
Great job Gum! You really did a fantastic job hunting everyone down. Thank you for really doing this hobby a great justice by chronicling our history. It really does seem amazing when you see it in writing.

I just spent a good three hours reading over this site. It's just got everything! I loved the interviews. What I'm wondering though is how the interviewer was able to talk to Snoopy when his own staff hasn't been able to! XD heh...
The timeline is awesome, but I think some of it is random. Like "Samurai Deeper Kyo ends". Maybe I missed something this is relevant to on the website...

Yeah I agree with Cave, the timeline is stuffed with a lot of pointless/unrelated information. Otherwise, great effort on the site!

This article about History of Scanlation is so informative.
I love how they explain the time-line and the progress of the industry of scanlation.

Wow, this certainly brings back memories. I started following scanlations about nine years ago, so it's strange seeing this site when I pretty much saw history play out. I don't know if it's a good or bad thing that I'm still reading manga at age 20, but I'm glad this community exists and is growing strong.
On a different note, some my all-time favorite manga were scanlated by these old-timer groups--HunterxHunter from Toriyama's World, Yakitate Japan from SnoopyCool, and Tokyo Crazy Paradise from Manga-Sketchbook. And I'm pleasantly surprised that someone saved all those 88x31 icons. They're ancient! It was a great idea to make a collage out of them.

I just read the articles and honestly it was really informative and I'm glad to have read it. What's interesting is the fact that it's been almost 10 years since the site which is, coincidentally, is almost the same amount of time between the creation of the website and the beginnings of the scanlation community. I have only been around for 3 years and I never really played a part in the community, truthfully I don't even read manga that often anymore, and its cool to see how much the community has changed even from when the site was created. Anyways, theres probably a better place to post this on, but really just a job well done on the site. Wonder what the people you interviewed are up to now days. Thanks for the hard work from 9 years later.
Edit: Also many of the groups considered new back then are considered old now or are dead. And I had never even heard of mangaproject and the like until now, meaning many of the people who were here in the beginning are gone now. Very interesting stuff.

Yeah, most of the "old guard" of the scanlation community is gone
No clue what happened to many of them

As a guess I'd say most of them probably outgrew this stuff, a lot of them are probably in their 30s, I think at least. Or they could have just gotten bored of it as well.
