This is the 1st contest so if there missing category then I may have edits and stuff, and I may have to explain each category. You can vote or name the same scanlation group as long as they in different categories.You don't have to vote for every category,so you can skip some.Contest start from today (05/31/08) thru the end of June (06/30/30) and I will post in bold letter that it end and start a new post with the winner from the vote of leecher like us.
Here are the categories:

1.)Best in Overall Category
-meaning the scanlation group not only fast in release, but also excellent in quality.
2.)Best in quick releases
3.)Best in quality
4.)Best Shounen Scanlation Group
5.)Best Seinen Scanlation Group
6.)Best Shoujo Scanlation Group
7.)Best Josei Scanlation Group
8.)Best Doujinshi Scanlation Group
9.)Best Hentai, Adult, and/or Mature Scanlation Group
-I really don’t want to put this category but oh well.
10.)Best Miscellaneous Scanlation Group
-This category is for scanlation group that not really a “group” but a single person who did the editing from the scan and translation from public site like manga helpers and credits them for there part but did the rest of the editing.
11.)Best Shounen Ai Scanlation Group
12.)Best Shoujo Ai Scanlation Group

1.) Franky House
2.) Aerandria
3.) Fushichou
4.) Franky House
6.) Aerandria
9.) LiquidPassion


Is this the correct way of the voting, if not please to tell, so i can change

Edit:

Why isn't there a best group for Yaoi/shounen-ai? this genre is almost as popular as shounen and shoujo too xD. Maybe you consider them on a seperate list like shoujo and shounen instead grouping them at " 9.)Best Hentai, Adult, and/or Mature Scanlation Group".

Obviously some people don't know the definition of quality.

1.)Best in Overall Category - SnoopyCool or kmts probably.
2.)Best in quick releases - Whatever. A group that makes fast scanlations that don't actually look like the usual Mahou-X or Franky-House shit.
3.)Best in quality - Oishii-Manga
4.)Best Shounen Scanlation Group - Project thieves probably.
5.)Best Seinen Scanlation Group - MangaScreener. Runner up, Kotonoha.
6.)Best Shoujo Scanlation Group - Don't care.
7.)Best Josei Scanlation Group - NCIS or J-Sis
8.)Best Doujinshi Scanlation Group - Who cares?
9.)Best Hentai, Adult, and/or Mature Scanlation Group - Who cares?
10.)Best Miscellaneous Scanlation Group - Who cares?

I run Illuminati-Manga. You're welcome.

I agree. The yaoi/shounen-ai scanlating community is just as big as the shoujo and shounen ones, and definitely bigger than josei. Mind if I suggest adding that onto the list?

________________

Wouldn't this kind of cause controversies? I mean.. it is stating our opinions so the scanlators know what to do to be better for leechers (though, as an editor, i don't care really. I'm doing something free for someone who is pay nothing to get it >.>). But there was an anime thread that got locked because of how "this anime site is better etc." arguments.. if i remember it right ><

1.)Best in Overall Category- Aerandria Scans.
2.)Best in quick releases- The LQ hurried weekly releases. Works for desperate people, and who are we to complain?
3.)Best in quality- Anything with clean, nice, typo-less HQ scans.
4.)Best Shounen Scanlation Group- Timcanpi. I miss them ;_;. Lots of others too.
5.)Best Seinen Scanlation Group- Omanga or Snoopycool
6.)Best Shoujo Scanlation Group- Aerandria or Storm in Heaven
7.)Best Josei Scanlation Group- Niobe scans (because they picked up some awesome projects)
8.)Best Doujinshi Scanlation Group- Don't like doujinshis.
9.)Best Hentai, Adult, and/or Mature Scanlation Group- LiquidPassion/Biblo Eros or Dangerous Pleasure.
10.)Best Miscellaneous Scanlation Group-...no idea.

I don't pay attention to scanlation groups anyway so I probably could've listed many better groups.

hmm...this is kinda biased..
cuz im sure no one dl/read manga from EVERY scanlation group out there. (if there is....that person needs to get a life)

so u'll only get results based on what groups the person read manga from.

I'm against this. People are scanlating manga for you (and themselves, probably). You should be happy people are even bothering to translate your favourite manga. There shouldn't be any competition between them all.
As someone else stated, there's bound to be dedicated scanlation groups out there only few know. So the obvious ones are going to be catapulted to the top. IMO, a certain series only needs one scanlation group, what's the point of having multiple when the others could be working or fresh stuff eh?

Yeah, I vote for this to get locked too~ Someone already suggested to 'evaluate' the scanlators, and give them points, but that idea was rejected.
