Blacklisting and whitelisting of tags on recently released and recently added pages has been implemented. Edit them in your user profile.

Exactly my thoughts.
Maybe you can change Dark skin tag into Tan/Tanned tag, but i like Dark skin 'cuz that sounds cooler :)

Tanned won't work, since a few things tagged with "Dark skin" describe characters who have dark skin because of their ethnicity. Flower Flower is one example.

I can see nothing offensive about the tag, and it won't get changed unless someone can show how it could reasonably be offensive.

I am quite confused how "Dark Skin" could ever be considered racist. All it is is describing a physical attribute in very plain terms. I don't see how anyone could reasonably get offended by it.

Adding a RSS feed for each individual series (or any other tag) would be quite easy and quick. So I will probably do that soon.

Also could add an RSS feed for reading list. So would show chapters for series, authors, etc that are on that reading list. That would be a little more involved, is anyone else interested in that functionality?

Having a per user read/unread status per chapter sort of already exists with the Read/To Read list. What would need to be added is easier way to see its status. Like maybe unbolding titles if they are on your Read list. That is something on my list, but have other things I was planning to do first.

Would it be possible to add a filter in the user's profile which allows people to both hide all manga that do have a certain tag and also hide all manga that don't have a certain tag?

Many people still come here purely for yuri and nothing else and for those people it would be convenient if they could hide everything that doesn't have the yuri tag instead of constantly having to scroll through the fairly long yuri-less recently added list for example. On the other hand some people might take offence in say lolicon and simply being able to hide everything with that tag by just enabling that filter in their profile would surely improve their browsing experience on this site.

This has been mentioned and said is in the works in this thread already.

I think we should implement a system where the more controversial and negative the response to a chapter is on the forums the more likely that chapter is to become featured and permanent.

No, this is stupid and being an asshole. I already told you my reasons why on IRC when someone tried to feature "Oshikko Sensei" the other day.

It's a joke.

Totally unfunny joke in a totally improper place. Doesn't really make it better.

I think this attitude of "I love it when people take offense at my work!!" is stupid and needs to die.

Yea. Just because we don't remove controversial chapters, doesn't meant we should shove them in people's faces.

Thank you so, so much.
...Why didn't you reply to me though? We had a discussion about this somewhere in the forums (maybe even in this thread?)

Not sure of what instance in particular you are talking about, but could be a number of reasons. I might not have made up my mind on it yet. I could have not had time to reply at that moment. Etc.

When we click Recently Added, would it be possible to make it clear when stuff is part of a series?

(There was a flood of recently added stuff today, but most was touhou. With no tag saying it was touhou... )

Think you meant Doujin, but yea this had been added. Been on my list for a while.

I'd like to suggest that the tags which suggest ships doujin (e.g. Hotaru x Chibiusa, Fate x Nanoha) get their own subtag system, or get rearranged somehow so that they're separated from standard categories? When one looks for genres, they kinda get in the way.

This is planned for the future.

And it could've been a story about monkeys but it isn't. The nice thing about SK in my opinion is that it's not a laser focused romance story between the different pairs, it's generally a slice-of-life comedy about a group of friends who got together, at least at the start, through their common sexual orientation. But that doesn't define them or the story. There is a romance going on, there is drama and angst but it doesn't drive their entire lives. It's not bogged down because some chapters don't push the romance forward and characters are not useless because their relationship status isn't clearly defined at the end.

I have no problem with a series like that, except I think the issue with SK was that the first few chapters set much different expectations then what the series became. The romance between Ushio and Sumika was the driving force for most of the first volume, and is what drove people to start reading the series. So I think it is very understandable to expect that to continue, and by annoyed or disappointed when it doesn't.

Yea, I need to make it more visible in some places when a chapter is a doujin (and what fandom).

GODDAMMIT! I CANNOT FIND A SUITABLE IMAGE-EDITING SOFTWARE THAT RUNS ON A FUCKING MAC!!!!! I FUCKING HATE COMPUTERS!!!!!!

You can get a trial version of Photoshop I think.

I have tried all the other ones trying to get away from Photoshop, but they all suck.

Is it just me or did you also think that the sex was kind of out of place? I mean, one moment she's proposing, the next moment they're doing it on the floor...

I sort of expect that happening when you see partially nude girls on the cover.

We are nearing the home stretch of this marathon. It was quite fun while it lasted to do some editing, and would like to thank everyone else who helped out. Now I have an excuse to procrastinate some work for a while.

Btw our new uploaders have been doing a great job of getting through our backlog. So make sure to check out the Recently Added page.

I noticed potential foreshadowing in a couple of places. First we have the child hood flash back where the main girl is drawing next to the blonde girl, and there is a third girl blushing while watching them. This could potentially be foreshadowing the triangle lucamarte is interested in. Second we have the death talk after the end page. It may be foreshadowing something bad happening to one of them. I hope I'm wrong with this second speculation.

The sequel one-shot is really more of the same.

Today is a chapter edited by yours truly. It has been a long time since I edited, but that is how I first got involved with Dynasty Scans before creating the reader.

There is a sequel to this, which will also get released during the marathon.

Our other announcement is about our new uploaders. We are welcoming aboard:

Give them your thanks and support for helping to improve this site. You should hopefully see an influx of older releases uploaded. So keep an eye on the Recently Added page.

It up now, I just missed the original post.

My opinion is pretty much inline with Cryssoberyl. Would like to read more stories with that dynamic.

The title is somewhat awkward though, I don't know how anything in particular could be "less" than a boyfriend, lol. The heteronormative connotations...not something I particularly care to see in a yuri manga.

To me it just sounds like the title was too literally translated.
