last year was a beast too. as I remember it was a change from yuri to yaoi completely? someone remind me

You are completely correct, they still use one of the banners from that time, so great. xD

Ya know, thinking about it, I wouldn't mind at all having the option to make monthly donations, but it's hard to say who I would want this to go to. With scans coming in from all over... Maybe we just need a yuri 'humble bundle' so we can designate just who we want our money to go to, heh.

I have a bad feelin'.. Even though it's 1st April, i'm still scared. I have no money to pay, i'm poor student - -'

Same here.... I dont even have that "Magic Card"

I was in on the paying thing even after reading some of the posts. I then realized April Wait, April Fools. x) Got me good.

About Dynasty-Scans
Dynasty-Scans® (http://dynasty-scans.com) was founded in 2005 by Wyvern_D (editor), Co_ol (translator) and ChronoXVIII (editor, proofreader) in order to pick up Pastel™. The group started with only one project but quickly expanded the number of series, favoring shoujo-ai and manga with kickass artwork. quincy lead the group until July 2006. At that point, Casusby jumped in and since then, has ruled over dynasty-scans as its supreme leader (much like Kim Jong Il). In August 2009, the flagship project was dropped due to disinterest by the staff, leading Dynasty-Scans® to focus to settle on yuri and some fringe series. The Dynasty Reader®, launched in 2009, provided a central location for yuri manga online. By 2012, the Dynasty Reader® had become the face of the group, transforming the way at least 10 people read manga.

I think if people want to donate, they should look into the individual scanlation groups or imported/licensed official manga instead of focusing too much on Dynasty. I mean, I love Dynasty and all, but with them being an unlicensed fan hosting site, ultimately our support should go to the authors and mangaka, with fangroup donations only being remotely justified if they are restricted to covering operating costs. Seeing as Dynasty has not opened themselves up for donations (or donation mediation to other groups, which is kind of a bizarre idea) for now, I would completely put away the idea of giving them money.

Even though Dynasty exists, it is conscientious to remember to go and visit the individual scanlator groups and leave a word of thanks or see how they're doing. A lot of them will have info about donation drives or such things on their page if they are doing them. If people would like to support those groups or the projects they are working on, they should think about donating there.

I told myself I wouldn't fall for any April Fool pranks. And what do you know, the one time I let down my guard DS pulls a fast one over me. XD Well played.

And that whole "surver is full" window that popped up. I was all, "wtf?" but when I checked the forum, it all made sense. XD

Heh, good one.
I knew it was a joke right away, but I also realized that I wouldn't really mind paying 5$ per month.

F***!!! dayum you!! I literally stayed for like 45mins to wait for my queue. T_T

I forgot it was April Fool's day. :))

nice one dynasty-scans.. haha

Hi,

I don't mind premium if you can bring in moar watersports!!

fuck scared the shit out of me for a minute there.

almost had me there. was about to go cry in a corner haha , you guys are just awesome!

hahaha me too reiji xD

I had that wtf moment, panicked so much almost forgot about april fools. Good one guys.

As soon as I saw the banner, it seemed strange. The message seemed a bit off and very unlike dynasty scans. Even so, you had me worried. Then I saw the April fools comment in this forum.

The queue got me completely! Really good one, guys, although it made me think that I spend too much time on this website everyday. Now I am scared.

i had a feelling that this was a joke, but i was sure at the moment i saw "really don't care about the money?"

i had to catch the joke at the glance, but i was half-sleeping, and i began to think how many euro i was willing to pay for continue to use the reading ...

right before i came here i was at deviate art's new ' beta dating site' rofl, came here and thought you guys were rolling out the same joke. all i saw was the" desperate and lonely? really don't care about money? dynasty premium!" and then i had to click the banner for the lulz. it was like that ad was written for me

you are right, but in this time i can't think who has need the more of our support.
it's a very bad moment for the press, book, comics and manga, and for all arts in general, it seems that no one want to read or think no more.
fangroups and artist who doesn't work under a publisher, and try to live using the net, deserve some money from the lovers, and at the same time the scanlation group that do the work that is not profitable for the publishers and distributors.

with the P2Ps the music changed, but there're a lot of live festival in the word, and a lot of music in the net,
i fear for the other form of arts.

That was terrifying. I was pretty excited for a dynasty scans app though xD
Great work terrifying the crap out of yuri fans around teh world. Keep up the (free) amazing work guys!

Dammit, that got me! I'd still pay though, just sayan'!

Seriously guys, can anyone explain me about this ? Is this real or just april fools?
