Should be done within the end of this day or the next.

I expected a bit of pushback for changing the tag.
This is also why Dynasty can't let users truly have 100% control over tag input since rather than hating on the staff, they'll hate on each other (moreso than they apparently do already, anyway).
I changed it because there are legitimate cases where chromosomes don't dictate the resulting gender/sex, because of identity issues or simply because something got screwy in the biology. There hasn't been pushback on the use of the y-chromosome version of the tag from what I've seen, but I felt men not found would be slightly more appropriate for those who may have this issue but have chosen to not speak up about it or haven't visited us yet.
Tags have always been a real messy business since staff is small, tags are everywhere, and everyone has their own idea about what exactly fits what. As with joke tags, it should mostly be a sort of Dynasty flavor sort of thing as like most other sites have their own flavor to issuing their tags. We will obviously continue to take in tag change suggestions, but I'll have to sit on what else to call this tag for now (I've seen the suggestions and will take them into consideration).

We're not Japanese nor a representative of the nation of Japan in any fashion. However there are surely plenty of people in both countries that share your sentiment, but politics are very messy.
Hope you enjoy your time reading yuri mangas!

sorry don't know how to make it black bars though T-T

Surround your text with two equal signs to black bar it.
You can quote this if you want to check it in action.

i honestly find the random fanservice super creepy...the main chick looks like she's in middle school :/ think i'll pass on this one....

The fanservice is agreeably a bit too much in a number of places.
The yokai are quite likely equivalent in comparison with their visual representation (for the human-like ones, at least). This is based off of how they act and think, as seen quite clearly with the lack of knowledge on Kurona's behalf. So looked at the setups for the ecchi in real life terms it's quite creepy, basically like all other ecchi manga out there.

guyysss whoever reading this, i reread the last ch of sasameki koto on dynasty (i read it earlier on mangahere) why are they have it different? is the whole ch(s) different?

What are you referring to?

I couldn't think of why that would be the case considering those fuckwits just rip it straight from the scanlator asap, but then I remembered that there were some changes (sometimes minor, sometimes semi-major) when it moved from magazine to tanks. That may be what occurred.

I did. I found the story enjoyable, although it's certainly not yuri (with a few panels of exceptions). Luckily they batched the volumes so it wasn't difficult obtaining the chapters quickly.

The older news isn't relevant anymore and DrP didn't want to keep clicking on the x all the time because he also hates cookies, so here we go.

Next time just send this: http://24.media.tumblr.com/3b45bef1429533f83b0a144a1db56222/tumblr_ml8cb4ImUU1rsf0s4o1_500.gif to him.

I don't know the struggles of your internal work but, if possible, ignore him from now on would be the less stressful and more efficient solution. Remember the rule 14: "do not argue with trolls"!

We've been banning and ignoring him for months. He's got a mental issue, not a personal one.

What do you mean? Whenever I tried to talk, rationally, calm or otherwise I get banned, you don't give me a chance to speak. And you wonder why I'm forced to spam comments in order to get them through. Yeah, show how many times that one post was deleted because you refuse to not make this thread one-sided.

You were never really that rational on our forums to begin with. We call you qt because clearly we took notice of when you started your crusade against the crack with your first username... and then the 50 others that flooded after we began to ban you when you did not contribute to the discussion in any civil way by calling everyone who opposed your viewpoint when you're calling us now "faggots" "nerds" "retards" etc. And the ban evades happened before you came to the IRC to scream at us, not the other way around. Fuck your bullshit.

Yeah, you and derpfan have never called kickap00 "kickap00p"? You weren't grown adults insulting people poop jokes? That never happened?

You are clearly under the age of adulthood if you believe that adults stop making poop jokes.

Just further proof you didn't actually read it. Because nothing it is "whining."

Seriously. Why do so many people lack brain stems? Is it that hard to understand just saying "ur wrong" is not enough to prove someone wrong? You have to present a logical deduction and series of steps how it's wrong.

Whining.

Here's anticrack-kun's pastebin of our IRC chat from the garbage post I deleted: http://pastebin.com/mjijuFrK
Our channel is public, and so there's no reason to hide it.
He pasted it by claiming we're just as bad as he is with our comments about other forum users.
I'll have to disagree with the severity of such a comparison, but certainly we're no angels.
Fucking deal with it.

Edit: Actually, strike that. Don't deal with it. If you feel you've been improperly treated then come in IRC and talk it out with us in a non qt/anticrack-kun way. If you come blasting like them, we'll blast back.

We will not upload a damn thing that has such an agenda attached to it.
As for the whole "me" vs "-anon-" thing, they don't care about being credited, even in anonymous spirit. They just want to push their opinions onto people.

Thanks again to Kalevala for having scanned this to me forever ago and Dagger for translating the post script after our deaths.

There wasn't really much buildup to do when the 3 protagonists have the capability of 3 teletubbies.

This is a topic about feelings we all must endure not /po/. Either make a new topic for this shit or exchange contact information to argue about it elsewhere. There's trying to argue about how the world of the manga functions and then how the real world functions. At this point a number of you stepped into the real one.
I actually don't mind people thinking about how the world works (minus the superiority complex shitflinging), but that shouldn't be in this topic necessarily.

Is there a job that involves a lot of nitpicking and telling everyone how they did everything wrong (but being unable to do better yourself)?
Cause I can totally help that way ^_^

Depending on the group, that would be the QA/QC position. Some groups make the QCer fix the edits themselves and I don't know how many have the QCers be the extra pair of experienced eyes these days. In Dynasty terms, we were the latter. But of course we're not hiring and we're mostly dead so we're not an option :P

If someone has a raw page that he thinks was pretty hard to edit and could direct me to that so I can look for myself how I fare, I'd be really thankful. I've read pretty much every yuri available in english, so instead of rereading my favorite series like once a week, I might as well help to get some new yuri onto this site.

Is it fun to read yuri you've worked on by the way? With all the spoilers and everyting.

im learning japanese right now and im hoping that i'll eventually be good enough at it to help out with manga/visual novel translations (among other things). i figured it might be a useful skill to have given that, so im curious: how long/hard would it be to learn how to clean/edit/typeset with absolutely no experience in image editing?

I've only ever been a mouse user for editing (both typesetting and cleaning). It's doable, but there is always a time where I sorta wish I had a tablet to do some of these redraws; Even with the lack of artistic talent, a lot of redraws won't need any sort of complex artistic understandings to complete. And even if there is one you can probably try to cover that up with text. There's a different sort of satisfaction that comes with working on new chapters before the majority of people has seen them; not only because you get to see it sooner (not as satisfying) but a lot of what you're doing is going to get cemented into people's minds (more satisfying when done right). Eventually you mostly get used to it once you keep at it.
Here's a hard page from the old dynasty editing test: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qr7ak26ngtzwi0l/flower_flower_06-08.jpg?dl=0

Everyone has to start from somewhere so don't worry about your lack of experience. As long as you keep practicing and keep learning your efforts will eventually stop sucking (this applies to everything else in the world).

Not that much to discuss about this cute comedic series. Unlike the dorama and possible speculation at all the yuri series.
This is still one of the best stuff on here.

Fakku is one of the more popular hentai hosting sites that serve you ads, clunky UI, and premium member garbage.

I'm confused as to what they need because it seems like they've got a full group of staff?

Three people don't lead to very quick releases. (speaking from experience)

Up to the minute experience.

The upload request is mostly for the purpose of new stuff, but if we fall behind on something (usually due to uploading delays or just being busy) then it can be used to give us a reminder.

It's up. It may be replaced by the other group's version when they release theirs since I'm a stickler for quality.
Not a bad effort on your part by any means though.

We'll see how we'll integrate that when it's finally available.

Later rather than sooner?

The answer is always later/soon™ rather than sooner.
