Still wondering do you peeps not have a bank account nor a post office, Walmart, target, grocery store, check cashing place, pawn shop, or even paypal.... they do give you a paypal debt credit logo card if you apply? Prepaid credit cards do exist.


Not all prepaid debit/credit cards are accepted by all online payment processors, and not all prepaid cards are free to use.

Some prepaid cards won't even let you make online purchases through 'non-verified' vendors/payment processors.

there are things like Secured Credit Cards. which is basically a debit card that has the prowess of a real credit card. basically you offer the bank a collateral early on so they know you can jack away when its time to collect.

the options are so numerous even in 3rd world countries that complaining of payment options is jack. you don't want to make time for payment methods, you don't have time for fapping.

Fuck it.

1 post, account created since January 2 2016.

you honestly think even free sites would get hurt of your decision when you're as useless as jack to the community?

fuck. i know people are free to enjoy, but they aren't free to enjoy stuff that are meant to be sold. I'm pretty sure the authors are happy that people like this are pissed.

piraters never truly know what they are talking about until they themselves get ripped off of their rights.

Is there a way I can find the names of the books I had in my favorites list? I just want the names, I can't retrieve them ever since the scanlations were wiped. :(

If you cooperate with http://pizazz.jp and bring me my favorite authors: Ozaki Akira, Nagashima Chousuke, Kawamori Misaki, Tatsunami Youtoku, Hidemaru...
And as for Doujinshi: (MTSP JIN) Tachibana-san-chi no Dansei Jijou Matome Ban
You have my full support:)


I checked that webpage. That is some good artwork. I would have interest in that as well.

Other magazines that I am aware of are "Comic Megastore" and "Comic Canopri", both of which I ordered from J-List. It is great that we are starting to get these books translated and uncensored at around original release date.

It would be great if you could stop lying. Paywalled sites never become free.

There are plenty of sites that offer both free and premium content. Crunchyroll should be the most obvious example after constantly being brought up as a comparison.



Crunchyroll is region-locked, the only thing I see from NON-AMERICA is a giant middle finger.

I don't really care for financially support American jingoism.

That's nice, but nothing we publish will be region looked. Everything we put out there will be available worldwide except in Japan, where uncensored hentai is specifically illegal.

I've been using the site for 8 years now, and even though I'm pretty salty my 5 pages of favorites has been reduced to 6 total manga, I'm glad the site will be able to persist.

Good luck, Fakku. I'll keep subscribed until I start Grad school (at which time I'll be super poor).

Cheers.

You've already removed "controversial" content in the past upon request; adding in region lock is merely a click away. A DRM sub monetization strategy won't change this. Hell, it actually covers your bases since its a subscription and not a purchase, allowing you to delete any and all subscription content without consequence.

This has been making tidal waves throughout the anime community. This particular YouTuber actually would like a representative from FAKKU! to join his discussion. I've tried my best to give an accurate history on what happened (DMCA, negotiation and then paid subscription) but I think you guys would be better at explaining than me.

You'd know it's me because I use the same name everywhere: Sonicfanx1 or TheSonicfanx1 on YouTube.

I don't really know exactly what to say here but i guess it will just be my honest feedback on how i feel the subscription service is as well as the now current state of Fakku. First i will throw out there that i jumped on the subscription bandwagon the moment it was available and have liked it a lot ever since. However that was when those extra chapters were supplementing the already steady flow of new releases. Now that Fakku is only subscriptions, for me at least, the volume of new releases is not worth it for me to continue to subscribe or support this site. I know that it will take a while to get publishers on board to get the kind of volume and diversity i am looking for (around 5-6 chapters a day minimum preferably more due to preferences) but as it stands, i do not see the subscription service as being adequate for me needs. I have found Fakku to be the best site available for me on a visual and organization front, and will miss it. I will continue to check back every now and again, maybe subscribe every other month but for now i just hope that the site gets better and the trajectory that the site is going turns out great.

I know i missed something but overall i think i covered everything. I wish the site the best because i do enjoy it a lot, and will be checking in to see its progress.

I suppose I'm not entirely upset that I have to pay- I actually believe in supporting things I like- I'm just more or less upset that the content has diminished so exponentially. This site had like the biggest hentai library(apart from e-hentai) for so long, but now that they only getting uploads from one particular source(unless my info is wrong on that front?) that means there is less content for me to sample, and that makes paying the subscription fee less worth it. I'll keep visiting the site in the hopes that they sign on with more publishers. I'll give it six months or so, give them time to beef their library back up, then I'll consider the subscription. This is was my favorite hentai manga site, I'm not going to turn my back on it just because Jacob's actually trying to make a living.

Half right, Fakku has access to content from two different ero-mags, plus a couple of artists who have signed on with Fakku.

I myself will eventually subscribe, but only when about 99% of my fave artists (Bosshi and Isao are the only two remaining) have their old content reuploaded and new content constantly added.

You're gotta be waiting awhile. They aren't going to translate all the back issues. Just 5 or 6 until there another team. 2 issues and books takes the priority.

This is some good drama. I'm just surprised there were that many people being 'loyal' and only using 1 site. It's not the end of the world, the internet still has free porn, scanlation groups are still active, and any pirate worth his salt shouldn't even be slowed down by this.

Whenever subs come around, it's all about timing, any pay wall is like that. At first I didn't sub due to lack of payment options, now I'm just letting the selection build up before I sub for a bit...unless they get ReDrop, then I won't be able to pay fast enough.

With the given notice, if the Export Favorites was too hard there was always just going to your favs before the removal and get some screen grabs of your list, there's no ambiguity to 'scanlations' those are unlicensed fan-made scans and translations of doujin. Basically anything not labeled "Publisher: FAKKU!" was what a scanlation was.

They've been pretty open about all of this, it's limited at first, but will expand and there will be more and more free content as the service goes on.

Finally, if this change is too much for you to handle, don't be a drama queen and post "Fuck this shit, goodbye forever!" just go, fade off silently into the night. We don't care.

Im mad. I cant pay for shit because i dont got a credit card, meaning i will never be able to use fakku again. Im out everyone. You might aswell ban me


So are you from a place where there no debt cards, prepaid credit cards or reloadable credit cards?



Nope, but sarcasm wont help the problem of some people. Like other people said ANY other option would be nice, and I understand that people are working on this. But I have doubts that we will get other options any time soon. If I knew that I would be able to pay in another way soonish I wouldnt even have a problem at all.

It just is the thing that I wont get a credit card simply to be able to pay for porn. Paying for porn in this day and age is one thing, but needing to apply for a credit card and then trying to justify it is something not everyone is willing to do.

Dont get me wrong, I love this site and whole heartly support the decisions made here, else I wouldnt have been here on a daily basis for over 4 years. Which is why Im upset that I am currently not able to use this site anymore at all.
