or maybe they never confirmed their registration

bingo

i'll fix the #.

EDIT: The reason people's ID #'s are higher than the actual number of registered users is because back in the day, mangaupdates used to be a scanlator only website. All accounts were subject to admin approval and we required everyone to give a reason to register. (so we could filter out the "I want to download" people). It just so happens that about 10k people did that.

Cool thanks lambchop you answered a lot of questions I wanted to ask not to mention the great history lesson and yep you have done a lot for this site there would be 6000+ less releases 😀 Also cool I can see what type of series you like to add(but I knew that just never used it). Geez my head is spinning today 🙁 🙄

Actually, most of the series I add are ones that are new projects for groups that just haven't been in the database yet. I don't go out of my way searching for series...For me, it's all about the releases, baby~

Huh, I actually added Homunculus to this database?
Odd... very odd. It was already being scanlated before I even knew about it.

I'm not sure who you meant by that. Did you mean luisalirio84, the admins (gulp 😲 ), or maybe all the people that help put the info part of the site together (although maybe the forum part could be the people with more time...yes, I know I'm part of that crowd, even if I'm not on the 1022nd page 😉)? 🤣

Wow, I feel old.

Interesting note. This wasn't my first MU username.

I forgot the old one and its password, so I had to make a new one, which is this one.

That one only had a few posts, though, so its not that important.

And yeah, I remember the old application process. My reason for joining was because I had a release to add, along time ago. It got rejected, lol.

That was my first account. On this account, I rejoined because I forgot the old one, and I liked being here. 😀

sigh, i remember when i had more forum posts than manick the god of this geek country. I never actually helped the site though, no added releases, no nothing. I think i also only did 2 reviews, but lately i don't even have the timeto keep up with the forums.

Actually lately i'm very limited on time but still i'll squeeze time out to come up with nonsense although none of those figures are nonsense they're all accurate 🙂 Check if you like (then who has a lot of time on their hands, eh?) 🤣

Oh no, I've been found out. >_>

I didn't really die. I just didn't visit the forums even though it's always been there.
Besides... Slinking around is cool. It adds mystery.

Well, in my hay days, MU wasn't this comprehensive. /old fog. I once asked Manick if old releases were important, because I joined wanting MU to be a sort of uber manga database, but the idea was rejected. As in, "No b****! We're only about new stuff here."

I've been scarred from adding stuff ever since. Ha, j/k 😛 (he was very nice about it. Completely amiable).

I'm glad to see the gradually transformation.

Actually, go ahead and add whatever old stuff isn't in the database. Plenty of my list of added releases are old ones...

Just make sure you say that they're old releases and when possible, give a date
