Scanlations are going away.

Yeah, I'm a lurker. So let's get the initial "fuck you"s out of the way early.

I've been with the site two years. Not as long as some of you, for sure, but long enough to get attached.
I understand where all of the yay-sayers are coming from, I do. I want to support the content creators, I want it to be a legitimate community not just a site full of stolen material. But it's hard to afford $20 a book for every book when you work for minimum wage and want to read hentai every week. It's hard to afford subscription fees that cost as much as a WoW account. It's hard to constantly keep opening up my wallet and dumping money down something that I've already seen for free, namely titikei.
If you want to switch Fakku over to an entirely pay-walled website, fine. If you want to make everything you offer expensive enough that you can get-rich-quick while still supporting the artists, fine. Good luck to you and I hope it pays off.
But I'm not going to stick around for it.
I don't have the money for that.
And honestly, I'm a little sad about it.

I must admit, I've frequented this site for 10 years (maybe more/less, it's hard to recall. I had another account for a long time before this one), and it was fun while it lasted. I don't blame Fakku for going legit; far from it, it seems to be the way for them to proceed. Nothing wrong with wanting to get paid for your work. But the days of getting my daily free doujin are ending. Sad times.

Fakku, I will miss you dearly.

I just have to link this:

RIP Fakku, slowly but the numbers don't lie.

Can't wait to see Jontron and Gamegrumps doing ads for Fakku.

On a side note, I hope it's not out of line to say I'm sad to see this occur. Fakku has always been a home to me, and while I long ago accepted the turn to pay-to-play content, I didn't foresee them deleting their entire catalog of "unlicensed" free books. Out of curiosity, what style will these take after?

Will it be like the copyright stricken uploads that have comments, favorites, and essentially the page intact or will they be removing all proof that these uploads ever existed?

Honestly am gonna have a hard time considering if I should use the rest of the day to finish all my college apps or if I should "browse" the site a final few hundred times.

I'm a lurker too, mainly because I never had nothing to say haha.
It's great that Fakku decided to support the artists, sadly for me, this is the end. I'm not on a country where I can sped 13 usd for fapping lol. I do wish there was a system like crunchyroll where you can have it for free some time later, even if it was a month or something like that :/
