I guess the main problem is that majority of the fans just don't care about quality, just quantity.
Just because the majority of the fans does not care about quality does not mean there should not be no standards.

If Dragon & Fly scans were really made by MF and such, then it just depresses me (once again) to see that scanlations has become into something voluntary and for fans to making profits.
And knee jerking reactions will also achieve nothing.
*If* Dragon & Fly scans are being backed by MangaFox I ask what is the problem? I dont think anyone can claim moral high ground and dictate on how things should work, also I doubt that everyone is voluntary and not making a profit.
I also doubt we would even have this conversation in someone did not mention how much money was Noez was doing in the first place, in fact lets play a little game.

Oh how much less anger and hate there would be if all scanlators could just have their own online readers...
When online readers started to show up there was a resistance against then, due to the popularity of then that resistance vanished.
I would say MangaFox and others pushed groups to accept the very existence of online readers but when there is a establishment of "how things are done" its hard to push forward, this is why many groups still have a IRC channel even when they are pretty much "Direct Downloads".
Do I like online readers?
Yes and no but pushing publishing to online reader only with no means of a backup is not a solution, without decentralization there is the risk of everything being lost, not to say when happens if my connection goes down?
