As long as I can remember, baka-update is my source for finding manga scanlators and their information, and this site is pretty useful until tomorrow. I noticed that for some reason (that I don't know), baka-update has removed all of furiouspuppet's link and information. I do not get it, the one who uses furiouspuppet nick name is still active as far as I am concerned. But why removed that site? Really, I was annoyed, but not because someone has removed furiouspuppet's information, the problem is that there might be chance other scanlator's sites would be removed as well (since It happened once, why not two, three and many times, who knows?). Then what is the use of accessing baka-update anymore (since some websites and links are removed for no reason at all)?
I also noticed that there're plenty old scanlator's sites (even not active) still have links on baka-update. So I really wonder, what's the problem with furiouspuppet? All the information of new release (strangely, only releases belong to furiouspuppet) was being removed. Below is the site that has been erased (like never existed):

Well this is a wild guess here since I've only read one of that group's project...but it might have to do with the fact that their scanlated manga are just scans of already-English published mangas. By definition, I doubt that is really "scanlating" a manga, in comparison to how other groups do it.
There is a reason. I suggest you ask an admin directly via PM, ranting about it won't really solve anything. O_O

Check this thread, since it's probably better to keep this subject in a single place.

chibura, I already answered your question in the Baka-Updates forum, yet you copy/paste the exact question here? You think you'll get a different response?
