Yesterday, me and my scanlation team decided to declare war against mangafox and terrorized them by spamming this comic by me (I'm a translator)

And today, this happened:

Fellow scanlators, don't back down! With the power of a whole team, you CAN terrorize these thieves to retreat!

The dialogue:

Yaoyao~
Xiaoman!
Discord Scanlations is now #8 on SanFu's list of most contributing fans!
Page 2
What? Our scanlations were stolen?
AGAIN?!
What's wrong? We're contributing as planned!
I'm sure we'll get permission very soon!
Not with Mangafox lurking around I'm afraid. Or any of the other manga websites...

Sorry for the inconvenience, but it's disrespectful to the author to let this continue.
Yaoyao? We mustn't confuse the readers any further!
Sorry for making this decision without asking you guys first.
I don't want this either, but we have no choice...

What? Those filthy, selfish, disrespectful, disgusting THIEVES stole from us, stole from us again?!
Maybe you could try to be a little less harsh?

My gosh, wishful thinking has no end!!!
you know there's no "war" to "win" One group of pirates translate it and post it for free, other group of pirates wait until pirate group 1 does it and post it in their money based website and everyone else goes and read on pirate group 2 and they don't care, Group 1 (you) get pissed off and start doing silly things like this or stop altogether. the cycle is vicious.
Best thing you can do is promote the slogan "Spend money on manga" "Spend money on anime" "Keep the market healthy" that's all you can do, stop wasting your time in childlish endeavors like this. (I mean manga scanlating, do it because it makes you happy or don't do it at all)

Yeah, we’ve learned from that. When we encountered another website who had taken the scans, we solved it professionally and learned from the past issue. 🙂 -Overlord

I've seen something like this once before. It's amusing how well these tactics work.
