Yeeeeah....we're back!! We have finally completed the transition over to the new host. Sorry for any inconvinience caused during the transition time, but we were not granted with any better alternatives by our previous host. We hope this move will be permanent and that everyone will experience faster site access time.
We would also like to once again take this chance to thank everyone that has donated to Baka-Updates because without your donations, none of this would be possible when we were left stranded by our last host. Without your support, Baka-Updates would not be what it is now.
**Please take part in our new poll. Your input will help us serve you better.
We are currently on a temporary server until a dedicated server gets put into operation 24-48 hours from now. We appologize for the down time. This should all be resolved in a few days.

We are still falling victim to scattered DDOS attacks. If they continue, you can still get new releases in our manga channel on irc.irchighway.net, #baka-updates using the !manga command. This command is updated regardless of site outages.
Shinsen-Subs, an anime fansubs group, has officially started a Manga scanlating section, Shinsen-Manga.
It appears they are closing down...
"After two years together, we've decided to call it quits. I, the leader of JJ, was fed up with scanslation and decided to leave the group. No one else was interested in wearing my shoes. So we're done."
See the news at their website:
The site has been experiencing instability due to ddos attacks. We are working closely with our host to resolve this problem and should be running smoothly soon.
