From now on there will be a lot less manga on the site becouse Fakku need to have
agreements with "?" to have that manga in a legal way, right?


Based on what I've read at least, The scans have been removed in order for Fakku to have better relations with artists and publishers since scans are technically illegal. This may then lead to more content that can be offered here legally on the website.

Let us just hope for the best. We all know that Jacob and the others are only aiming what's best for both the site and the users. IMO, this is a big step towards bringing more content and improving relations between the publishers, artists and the fans. The bigger the content the site has to offer the more the subscription will be worth it.

That is because all illegal uploads have been removed from the site. Only releases with the permission of the publishers and artists are going to be posted from now on. For additional info, go read this page. https://www.fakku.net/fakku-subscription-announcement

I would have been ok with this, but my entire collection is gone again and the export tool is broken or something. Not very happy at all.

Wow... Well, I LOVED this place, but now that you've not only forced people to buy any new manga, You've also DELETED ALL OF THE OLDER MANGA... Why? Why did you have to burn away all of those beautiful classics!? Was it really just because they we're free and you couldn't tolerate that?!

Well...I guess that sort of explains why all my favorites were killed. Was hoping they would still be there so it would be possible to subscribe and read them again. That's too bad. Can anyone confirm if they even get their favorites back when they subscribe.

It's not like sadpanda doesn't have it or anything.

Also is your cave comfy? sure seems so because you seem to have missed the whole transition from scan site to publisher that's been happening for over a FUCKING YEAR.
You can't keep the illegal scans if you want to go as a legit publisher, what kind of retarded logic makes you think this is not normal?

That's it, I cringed.

Both of you guys chill out for a sec. First off there's been serial posts about the older unlicensed manga being removed. Second, one of the more likely reasons that jacob went with a subscription base was to keep the flow of manga going without the legal backlash like some of the other sites are getting/ or going to get. So in the end to would have been take the site down or pay the publishers/ authors. That's probably the cut and dry of it. I do also have my concerns about the old removed manga.

Likhos01.... You really didn't need to be condescending, so take in down a couple of notches

Jacob, (or a moderator that can anwser) sorry to call you out on this, but I've searched and couldn't find an answer to this question. Are you going to bring back the old manga? I know you can't for sure say all of it because probably some of the authors/ publishers have turned you away. In just trying do you have a plan or something in motion to bring back the manga legally aka licensed?

I know people have there concerns about the subscription. In my eyes its a pretty fair price. I know I currently don't have one. My only reason why is because most of the manga that I read was pre-2015 and was removed.

Welp...I understand and I need time to think if paying a sub for porn is in within my possibilities ....if not, it's been a pleasure reading vanillas with you guys.

Disclaimer, This is just my Views as a guy who works in e-commerce and as a consumer. So, this is not the answer from Jacob or Fakku

"Are you going to bring back the old manga?"
Yes, IF Fakku can actually get their License/permission from these authors/publishers.
One example for now is a Kill la Kill Doujin called Threadless by Doxy, this doujin stays because fakku has the consent of the author. https://www.fakku.net/doujinshi/threadless-english

In just trying do you have a plan or something in motion to bring back the manga legally aka licensed?
Currently everything is in transition, this serious decision of FAkku is to show to other publishers Japanese/western that Fakku is serious on bringing their works legitimately to the west. So, currently there are no plans that fakku can share publicly for now.

IMHO, Fakku is not selling out, as this was Jacob's Goal from 2007.
Jacob wrote...
Eventually I want to start translating the more popular manga titles, I want to talk with Japanese publishers and get them to ship us the actual manga and sell it on the site. There is so much that FAKKU still has in store!


-------------------------------------
I'm sorry if some of you feel "betrayed" but that's your own fault for taking FAKKU for granted. Fakku wasn't meant to be a site that keeps pirating, and you should have known that deep down in your head.

The Removal of the unlicensed content has been in discussion since June 2015, If you're still unaware of this and got mad at Fakku when you didn't export your favorites then the fault is entirely on yourself for messing up your priorities.

Also being a lurker doesn't mean anything as a support to Fakku, if you want to really support fakku either buy the subscriptions or at least engage in an actual discussion for future decisions, not cussing/knee jerk reacting to something you don't agree.

I am considering the digital subscription but okay I live in a country where there is a law that they consider any form of hentai as REAL CP (but it's not really enforced so it's lax) well I have paypal where my prepaid card mastercard is linked so can the bank see that I am paying for hentai digital? If so can they like sue me? but according to their bank website they don't issue monthly statements unless I enrolled my account on them.

That's rather disrespectful, I see very few people "cussing or knee jerking" in this thread, just a lot of people trying to find answers and be kept up-to-date right when something happens. Even though it was announced in the last year to move toward full subscription services, there was nothing on the front page saying "next week, we will implement subscription-only, so write down your favourites because they will be deleted". So it should be understandable why some people were surprised at the start of 2016. For someone intimate with Fakku and e-commerce, your comment is extremely rude. You expect (demand) people to buy a subscription with the contempt you write here? I've seen the moderators and supporters of the site making the rudest comments, and I disagree with the way things are being informed to the public. As a site trying to be in the public MORE, hiding something until the last second is bound to cause concerns, and your contempt isn't helping to keep people informed or up-to-date.

This post was very disrespectful and unproductive. This final update is a far bigger change than what it was at the beginning of last year and it came with sudden impact with little prep (at first the site was half subscription and half non-sub). The forums should be a place to inform and assist, not denigrate people who may or may not be up to date on what is happening. For people's favourites to be removed leaves people understandably worried or confused, etc. Some people are just here to find out all the details of what's happening, as they happen. There is no need to make Fakku such as toxic website with your rude comments, regardless of your support for the subscription service. There was NO warning on the front page saying "Tomorrow or next week, we will delete all your favourites, so write them down on a napkin" or something similar. And that would've been appreciated.

Welp... I guess I have to go rediscover a lot of my old favorites.. Good thing I expected this to happen eventually and saved over half of my favorites lol. You've been a pleasure Fakku. Maybe I'll come back when I get out of college and have a job so I can afford subscriptions lol xD

It was a good time.Even though its now Fakku is open for subscribers only. Thanks Fakku for these years with you.

Yes i dont have money for subscribe. But its nice to have it open for artists and subscriber community. Good luck, and Happy New Year !

Man I really wish there was a warning posted on the frontpage before it happened, so I would have known to export my favorites. Now like 50 pages of my favorites are gone forever, and it really does hurt. I doubt I'll ever remember all of them :(

It's probably impossible but is their a way to revert the website back to the way it was (with all the content) the day prior to this change. Then everyone could export their favorites, which I think would at least lessen the blow for some people. Although like I said, that's probably impossible.

Even porn is going to be in doom from the way of how things work nowdays, that's funny, usually things used to be free and to re-use, now everyone wants money for what they create, they see their skills to draw something good as a oppportunity of making money from it, and they still live in a country where things aren't expensive or cost gold bars, like how brazil does, that's where everything is really worth your ass only.
