I have my first final in...4 hours...so I gotta make this quick.

Poll was submitted by our member JohnHomos. Probably your preferred option isn't there, but too bad. So what's your view on doujinshi?

Funny is good, but I kinda wanted the heart wrenching option to win...

Based on previous polls, we got a lot of romance lovers (no pun intended?). So in honor of that, we have a poll here submitted by our member cl123. Which of the choices is your favorite romantic scenario (either to read or perhaps even what you wish to be in)?

I just found out that today is the 7th anniversary of the group Manga Art (thanks Lenners)! Yes, they've been around for a long time...longer than a lot of you have been reading manga, probably. Not all old groups die out, you know!

Celebrations ensue~

Yes, overdone question...But I don't like any of the suggestions in our poll suggestion thread. So if you got any interesting poll ideas, please submit them here:

Apparently we got a lot of dog lovers

Yes, it's not manga related. And I just took a random idea from the forum...

Obviously most of us knew who would win...But plenty of people still choose the other options~

Very late post...but for those of you who are mothers, this is your day~
And for everyone, think about what your mother has done for you!

Hello all,

We are in the process of looking for release updaters/maintainers. If you are motivated, don't mind fixing mistakes, and want to help the community/site out for a while, we'd be glad to have your help. Please send Manick and/or lambchopsil a private message and we'd be happy to consider you. Only send in a request if you are truly motivated though, as updating is a lot of work!

We look forward to the help!

[color=red]EDIT: We are not recruiting anymore[/color]

Horrible title, but oh well...Can't think of anything better...This poll was suggested by our member kiddo. Not many choices to choose from (nothing wrong with that)! Depending on the series, you guys probably do things differently, but just choose the one you do the most of.

Wow, we got a ton of romantics on this site! (I voted that option too though, haha.)

This poll was suggested by linnil, but I added a lot more options. However, some of you will complain your preferred option isn't there...but too bad. I can't please everyone. You'll notice that most of the endings are basically shounen stuff, but I couldn't think of anything else in 5 minutes of time.
If you guys like a mixture of stuff, tell us what that mix is!

Edit: Took out the "Mixture of endings" option since everyone would probably vote for that one...and that wouldn't be very conclusive now, would it?

If you scanlate and like it, that's great! Keep on going! If you scanlate and hate your life, I feel sorry for you. If you currently don't scanlate and don't want to, I respect that decision, as it eats up a lot of time. If you used to but anymore, I hope you're moving onto better things! If you're here for the C&D...I hope you're joking... And finally (out of order), if you currently don't scanlate but would like to, we have a [sitelink=topics.php?fid=3974]Recruitment Forum[/sitelink] where tons of groups want new people like you! And hopefully you'll gain that experience that everyone loves...

This new poll was actually suggested by Syrente, a fellow scanlator who's worked with several groups such as DRAT, Geisha, Anime Waves, Dynasty Scans, TEA-Scans, and Fairy-Tail. Special request by him~

If the site goes down, we got no control over that
If someone trolls, tell us, and we'll deal with them
Did you know you can correct the incorrect info yourself? Just edit the series! (Or you can report the problem to us)
Flaws...we're getting to them...The same goes for new features. However, we could use a new site coder!
The rules, just deal with them

For those of you who put "other", mind telling us what exactly you have a problem with?
