Changing Fakku Summary

A quick summary of what has been happening to Fakku in the last year for those who do not lurk on the forms.

" Why is there paid content now?"

Fakku became a large site for English speakers to enjoy hentai over the years with great interface, many tags, and a community, but because of the size, it has gathered attention from publishers that have filed law suit against Fakku, forcing them to remove unlicensed content owned by said publisher. This has always been an ongoing battle on Fakku, but when "Wani" filed against Fakku it forced them to remove a TON of content. Instead of just letting this happen, Jacob and the other members of Fakku made a deal with Wani so they could legally sell their content on Fakku.

"Paid content is fine but what is happening to all the Free content?"

Free content will always be available on Fakku. You may have been noticing a lot of content marked "Subscription." At first this content will be behind a pay wall, But as the library increases, some of the content will be available for free. How has not been decided yet. It might be a few stories will be free with each magazine, or a round robin approach where you will be able to see some of the stories for a week, and then next week you will be able to see a different set of stories.

"Whats with the Subscriptions?"

In short, High quality, uncensored, Hentai, strait from the artist you can pay for. Don't want to buy it. That is fine, Fakku as plenty of other content completly free. For a full Q&A on Subscriptions check out this form by YQll https://www.fakku.net/forums/feedback-suggestions-and-support/fakku-subscription-faq

"If unlicensed content is removed, what part of Fakku is free?"

While it is still up in the air if everything needs to be removed, Fakku knows it needs to, and wants to keep providing free content and there always will be, but now that Fakku is working with publishers to provide high quality content, they have both higher costs, and publishers that want their cut, so having some content for sale helps keep Fakku in business, not to mention allowing them to support the artists.

"Will Fakku continue to host scanulations"

Currently yes. Fakku wants to support scanualations, but in the future, maybe. It depends on how the negotiations with the publishers go.

"What happened to my favorite tag? i.e. loli, incest, monster girl, exc..."

In short, Controversy. While Fakku will still host content with loli, incest, monster girl esc, These tags where removed because not every country is okay with these tags. Fakku still posts this content though, just without the tags, for now.

"Will the removed tags come back?"

Yes, Fakku has already made plans to give back all the tags that were removed, eventually. All removed tags will be added back at some point and members on Fakku will be the only ones who will be able to see them. This only applys if you have Controversial tags enabled in your settings. If you made your account before Aug. 2014, then this option will be enabled by default and you will see the tags as soon as Fakku enables them. If not then you will have to go into your settings under user preferences and change it.

"I miss the old Fakku."

While the new Fakku might not be to everyone's liking, It was not really avoidable. Fakku became one of the largest sites for English Hentai and have gained the attention of major companies that previously thought very little about the English market. On the down side this means it would be very hard for Fakku to continue supporting pirated content on it's site while avoiding legal action. The plus side is that Fakku has opened the hentai Market to English speakers and we can now support the artists that we enjoy by paying for their products.

Someone sticky this.

Or don't, I can't really tell anyone what to do.

I think it would be good idea to sticky this, may stop people making post about what happened to this tag, what happened to this content.

Or at least a MOD/staff to make a summary post and keep it updated with what has happened so far and keep that as a sticky

Terrific writeup, though I'm not sure if this will dispel those who pop up less because they are actually confused but more because they're looking for a reason to whine about their illegal free hentai.

This is pretty spot on, well done.

a simple yet detail post explaining everything



I like it

One thing you could probably mention is that we still have controversial content on the website, just not for free. I believe a couple of the books that came out recently had loli or another controversial tagged content in them. (Correct me if I'm wrong there)

Yeah, Bosshi's XXX Mix and Hanafuda both have controversial content, with XXX Mix having a fuckton (hur hur).

I would agree with you if anyone would actually read it. Tunnel-Vision is highly rampant.

I was thinking, I could keep updating this form, though Fakku does not have an FAQ. Perhaps it would be best to create a Frequently asked questions page and just use it to link other people to it whenever someone asks a question. Any thoughts? I have enough free time that I would not mind managing an FAQ.

How is Bosshi's XXX Mix so controversial?
I don't get it.

dragon dicks and loli tentacle pregnancy seem pretty mainstream to me too.

Exactly.
It's not controversial.
Heh.

It's not "controversial", it just has "controversial content" in it.

I still think that's a very stupid way of calling that kind of stuff.
But oh well.

Not everyone is hip as us. There still users who cry bloody murder and soggy butthurt if it anything not pure vanilla ice cream on this or other sites. You know illiterates.

Read this a while ago, but wanted to say nice job on the summary, people will still bitch sadly but hopefully people do read this, it's very informative #knowledgeispower

Thanks for the feedback, I have seen more people asking about things covered here and a few questions that I think I will add to my original post but it is nice to see that at least people can link to this when someone has been away for a while.

I think I will keep this updated. Who knows, maybe it will get sticky after awhile and stay on top of the form.

Let me know if there is anything that needs to be added, or made more clear/concise.

Updated the form again. I added a portion on subscriptions and tried to make some of the other sections clearer. I was going to make a completely different FAQ for the subscriptions but YQll beat me to it. That being said if there are any common questions that you think should be in here let me know. If it is about subscriptions I add it here, or bug YQll until he adds it to his.

Good shit. Wasn't expecting this to be as well thought out as it was. Done well
