Registration Fixed, Suspected Bot Accounts to be Deleted

First up, if you’re  a human being and you find your username on this list I apologize in advance. Every username in this list had either a free e-mail account, (hotmail, other disposables, Russian, Polish), or a username that seemed like that a bot would make. It’s my fault for forgetting to add some proper spam detection to a WordPress site. Also, registration has now been fixed! If you tried to register in the past week or so you likely got an error from sabre (the plugin we use to…

I’m on vacation.

Hi. For anyone trying to contact me, I’m just letting you know I’m on my annual scanlation vacation. It was supposed to be in January like it is every year, but I didn’t have time because a lot of things needed to be done. So if you’re waiting on me to finish something or get back to you on something, or something-something-something, I’ll be back in a week or so max. If it’s really urgent, leave me a PM on IRC. If you’re not on IRC all the time, leave…

New Website!

Hallo. So for the first time in years, we’re catching up (sorta?) with modern technology and we have a new website to prove it! A few of the new things from the website: – New interface. Duh. -Updated About & Projects page. We’ll be working on implementing some things for the Projects page eventually. The ideas we have are a little complicated to implement, so we’re in no rush to do them. The Projects page is always great to show how damn old we are. The About page will never…

My dreaded least favorite day of the year…

Today, June 24th, is La Saint-Jean-Baptiste. It’s Quebec’s “national” (Go figure, since Quebec isn’t a country) holiday, where everyone should be “proud” to be québécois and celebrate, lest we not speak about the rampant xenophobia and pure arrogance to anything not deemed Québécois on this specific day. Well, to make this day a tiny bit better, some Rookies. How ’bout it? Rookies v23 (!Rookies23 !Rook23) – This is a volume pack for v23, there’s 5 new chapters. A very big thank you to rhy for doing the redraws at the end of…

I need a proofreader (or two) who can stick around on IRC

Let me keep this brief: I need one or even two proofreaders for various projects. (I could also use a bunch of other things, but right now I’d like to focus on proofreaders) I currently have roughly two volumes worth of stuff translated that needs proofing before we typeset, and I don’t have any proofreaders to work on those series. It’s a problem, and it’s annoying me. Here are the requirements: 1) You need to be [ideally] proficient in the English language. If you need to look up what “proficient”…

Sidonia no Kishi is dropped

Happy Good Friday to all you loony religious folk out there. At Vertical’s request, we will be dropping Sidonia no Kishi from our list of projects. We’ve had an enjoyable four year (minus one month) run for the series. It’s had highs & lows, but overall, it’s not a bad series at all. A big thank you to dh85, Elkin and momimomi for doing a large bulk of the work on the series. Shit, all I did was scan & QC, so I deserve minimal credit if any at all.…

Looking for a translator for REAL

So I’ve bought & scanned REAL v12. I’ve been asking around for the last month without much luck. I need a translator for this volume. If any of you know one, tell him to email me or PM me on IRC. The forums are fucked, so don’t bother posting there. I’ll miss your post due to a spamload of messages. Thanks, yo. Btw, if you like REAL, support the author by buying it in English. It’s $11 per volume, and if you live in America (Or Canada with amazon.ca) purchases of $25…
