I used to scanlate for AlaAtra Scans, so i know how it is (Most of us didnt scan our own raws however i imported all of the RAWs of the series I worked on (didn't scan it though). On the other hand in my original post i was referring to the old days where groups would claim stuff and everything was on IRC (i wasn't scanlating back then), i dont know how it was for the shojou community but i expect it was somewhat similar. it's sad to see that a lot of the HQ scanlators are dieing out while the speedscans get more and more popular.

It means there were multiple conflicting opinions.

Something like that.
Hahaha, so a nicer and more polite way of saying that?

not to be insulting, but why is something like this in the news?
small groups open up and close down all the time...
will mangaupdates start tracking all of them now...?

Hmm. If a group releases a series...but no one can get it, does it still count as released?

It technically counts as scanlation news, and some people do care about it. Mangaupdates posts this kind of news all the time.

Dunno, considering a good chunk of people can get it just fine. Plus, fairly certain MU accepts releases that are friends-only for livejournals and forum members only for those groups that use forums.

If no one can really get it, then no... but if people just need to work for it (sign up for their website/forum/whatever as long as it's the scanlator's and not a third party site, make X amount of posts, learn IRC/ftp) yet are too lazy to, then yes.

It seems that China Girl is dropped, 'cause it isn't in the list of Opposed.

You should look a little harder. Chapter 3 was released yesterday. It's being completed by Opposed.

If no one can get it, it isn't "released."
Was that a serious question or are you just stupid/a bad troll?
