I just clicked on Scanlation timeline link on MU and some tears fell, I remember most of the stuff in the timeline, so how about you?
Edit: Gyahahaha, so long since I last created a thread 🤣

Never really think, run it straight on and you'll see the rewards.

The website is amazing, yup. It was established for anyone / everyone who wants a deeper analysis of what goes on behind-the-scenes of scanlations. Hope everyone enjoys it 🙂

wow... I had no idea I came to the scene at the first generation, during the growth period... I don't know what to make of this, I feel old...
edit: I mainly had a fileserver on a few channels, but even made my mark editing a couple of chapters.
Left that behind now, even dumped my manga collection off my harddrive.
The site is cool btw 🙂

Haha, Tsu, I already got a preview for the site a week ago! 😮 Since I'm a mod and all~ But yeah, it was awesome then, and awesome now.

So far I'm loving the site.
but I've found two errors so far.
-
on the mangascreener page Kotonoha is misspelled.
-
(This one made me want to punch someone in the teeth, lol) on "Second Generation: The Golden Age" it saids: "Manga-Sketchbook, which scanlated Banya". They're not a scanlation group, they're a scan group who scan the english published versions.

Get your shit straight, they are a scanlation group.
They've done lots of translating in the past, even if currently it is mostly english published versions.

The Kotonoha thing has been fixed... as for M-S, did you know they're actually an European-based scanlation group? Just one of those tidbits...

Yeah, I was crying when I read the History and Timeline ;_; Back in those days, the classical scanlators were like GOD to me 🙁 Now most of them are inactive TTATT

Wow, I can't believe that I'm also part of the first generation (early 2002). I've always been a leecher though, except for a year or so having an fserve on IRC before BT came along.
And looking at the time line makes me sad, seeing all my favorite scanlation groups shut down again. 🙁

Woooooooow. The Ranma 1/2 Project! That was my first scanlation read............ I was so addicted to it XD
I had no idea it was "First generation", which kinda boggles now! I didn't know IRC, then, though, so I'm out of the loop with the others. You know the trends, but I for one never really thought about the importance of them....
Good memories 🙂
