It might cure a lot of confusion if you add 'this is not a manga viewing site' or something along those lines beside the 'This is not a download site' in the forum rules.

There seems to be a lot of misinterpretation, and a lot of people asking how they read manga on this website. The general response to this is 'GO READ THE RULES' which in this case doesn't really help as they aren't completely clear.

Bearing in mind a lot of these posts start with "Hi, I've read the rules but im a little confused... how do i read manga... etc."

I think it wouldn't hurt to add that to the rules either. But want to bet it isn't going to change anything?
Although I could add it to the rules now myself, I will still wait for the others' opinion on the subject first (and by other it means the other admins/mods).
And for the registration form, only Manick could eventually edit that anyway.

What manick should do is...

Right when you register you are forced to write a single rule word for word

1. This website is not for manga downloads/online manga.

blah blah..

Something like that, just like how some websites require the "code" name to stop botters.

how about:

"This website does not offer manga downloads or online reading"

instead?

how bout....dont ask us for manga at all go away!! XD

j/k um....this is not a manga dl site its an info site where ppl keep track of manga they read!!

As if handcuffed, I'm bound to the memories of you...

Well, I edited the beginning of the rules just a little bit, but like Stealth said, it won't change much...

A just ruler amongst tyrants

This is from the front page.

I see it all the time since I have the "Text to image" plug-in for firefox. It has some pretty good sites to get manga.

Maybe even put HEY THIS ISN'T A MANGA DOWNLOAD/READING SITE NO REALLY ITS JUST INFORMATION GUYS on the index page??

just a thought.

Just a bit too into bad things
