This one has been up in the air for a while..."moderate" is typically the way of saying "sex, but not exactly hentai". We'll improve this at some point.

Then how about a rating system similar to yuri-ism's. 1-5.

Its to categorize on the amount/explicitness of sex contained. Having a 3-4 page sex scene at the end of the chapter is much different than a 20 page PWP of fully explicit sex. The difference between the two is subjective, but there is nothing wrong with that.

I never said there was something wrong with the two having differences, but I agree. It wouldn't count as hentai if only the last (or the beginning or the middle) four pages had sex scenes on it. Hey, since we have the dicks on page XX tag, why don't we add sex on the four last pages tag or sex on the last pages or better yet, moderate amounts of sex on the last four pages. I'm kidding.

Splitting the stuff up into 5 different subcategories is not only a lot of work, but doesn't really add much to the searching. We already have a psuedo 1 (not tagged with sex), 2 (nsfw), 3 (moderate amounts of sex?) and 4/5 (lots of sex). The improving bit we're occasionally thinking of is helping the searching be more helpful. At the moment we need to shave down the two tags (either by renaming/re-purposing or whatever) into being more specific since right now they're really subjective for the uploader/tagger.

1. Hair tag. Srsly, there's only one manga that has this tag.

shudder No. This tag is absolutely necessary as a warning/fetish.

I just feel like this site will turn into a porn site if we add them tags like "oral", "big boobs", "flat-chested", "foot job", "scissoring", "creampie" <-- these are all fetishes. (With some exceptions, like oral is a type of sex, foot job, etc.)

It's already an 18+ site. But we're not going to go that deep in tagging stuff. There's a reason these unique tags only have one or two stuff added to them (mostly for warning).

1. Creepy tag. Isn't this synonymous to WTF am I reading? tag

No, actually. While they can fall into each other, there is quite a bit of separation between the two. See these two links for creepy, but not WTF-worthy, stories; http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/the_visionary_replay_of_homuhomu http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/yukkuri_balloon

Ah, so it has a certain degree of creepyness but is not worthy of the wtf am I reading tag. I see. So, again, I propose that we have a grading system for creepyness/weirdness of a manga/doujin.

I don't feel that the amount of effort to do that would prove much usefulness. Maybe this would need to undergo the shaving we're attempting for moderate/lots of sex but it wouldn't be a high priority in comparison.

1. Hair tag. Srsly, there's only one manga that has this tag
2. Communism tag. Again, only one manga has this tag.

It is totally okay to have a tag that only applies to one chapter. The purpose of tags is to both describe the chapter and to find similar chapters.

I agree. I just thought that, it would be hard to classify/organize mangas if we create too many tags. I personally prefer more generalised tags like: yuri, romance, shoujo, shoujo-ai, supernatural, comedy, etc. but not blushing, abandonment issues, pregnant (seems like these tags are spoiling the plot or a part of the story to me). But of course, this is just my view point.

We're not aiming for too many tags either. Pregnant serves to be a warning for that LWB dj; it won't be attached to anything else (that'd be super rare as heck anyway without magic or science babies). Abandonment issues could possibly be removed. I would have to read/re-read the few things that are tagged with it to check whether it adds anything to a search in comparison with other stuff.

Its for stories where Zombies or Ghosts are the only supernatural element, to be more descriptive about what it contains.

Then there is no real purpose for the supernatural tag because, vampires, zombies, ghosts are all sub-categorization of the supernatural tag. If we are aiming for specificity, we have to make it straight to the point.

Sometimes there's supernatural stuff without a sub-categorization like that. If someone wanted something out of the norm, they'd search supernatural. Separating the ones without the zombies and such from the "normal" pile seems more beneficial than not IMO.

1. Communism tag. Again, only one manga has this tag.

Well, we don't want to take ourselves too seriously...

What do you mean?

Means we're not trying to be wikipedia or exhentai and whatnot. Sometimes we'll make joke tags like tracing because we find it tickles our funny bones.

Question: I'm just wondering if you've thought of changing the background color (which is white ATM) to a different color like gray, black or something that is of a dark colored tone.

That will be user specific and is in the works, it will be implemented soon.

That is news to me, I have no plans for that atm.

I could have sworn that background color in user preferences was on the "To do eventually if I have time and nothing else to do" list.

Bottom of the barrel doesn't mean in the works and soon.

The JManga licensing is always up for debate amongst us (but still currently a no as of this point).
Seven Seas is a 100% no.
There's a released Seven Seas ombinus for Girl Friends so we're going to have to continue to refuse.

Hopefully that's fixed. Not sure what caused that.

Images has been implemented (if you haven't seen it by now).
What will go there are strictly yuri pairing images that will be subjected to the same tagging specifications as a series/chapter would. These images will appear in related series/volume pages it pertains to and gets a dedicated navbar link.
In short time we will allow users to upload images but it will go through a moderation filter to check for troll or solo images.

This will not be a booru.

Replaced with SMDC's version. While the translation doesn't read any better, any reason to get reduce CGRascal's grasp on yuri is an excuse I'll take.

Since we have implemented an 8 chapter download limit per 24-hours we're bound to get some more popups of the questions of why one has hit the download limit.

So, here are the usual cases of why you've probably hit the limit:

• You've downloaded 8 chapters beforehand already and just lost count.
• You're sharing a connection in your household/unsecure WiFi and other people who are using the same connection (and thus have the same IP) have downloaded before you.
• You're using a download manager/accelerator (people still use these?) and the way they function is that they open up multiple connections to the server in an attempt to download faster, but each connection counts against the 8 per 24-hour limit.

We are still discussing amongst ourselves on the IRC every so often what the best solution for keeping our bandwidth usage down is, and what to do if we can't keep it down reasonably.

Number of y'all remind me of Kokopure before she spent a few years in the IRC channel.
Tend to loosen up your sphincter after hanging with the shit we talk about for so long~

Also, not sure what y'all expected from an incest thing other than... incest?

Inugami-san and Nekoyama-san:
For some reason, when reading, chapter 0 goes after chapter 1.

Doesn't seem to be the case for me. Someone must've fixed it \o/

Spoiler tagged up this topic. Much needed rage, but also much needed tagging. Make use of your equal signs people!

It's a recent addition in an attempt to help conserve bandwidth since it's skyrocketing.
You can most certainly download the new uploads with the 8 limit, but for the many recent additions our uploaders tend to make it's also an attempt to get you to visit the scanlator's site to get it.

It's currently based on IP.
If having a dynamic IP is actually screwing with your ability to even reach the limit, perhaps an account-based tracker combined with the IP tracker can be used as well, Omnscient0?

Pls turn on hardcore mode kthx.

You mean the part where it's licensed? Nah.

No translators, little editor interest, and no raws.
Resolving the lack of raws (assuming they're even decent enough) doesn't solve the problem that we have only one translator who occasionally translates only yuri works.
Editor interest would probably perk up between either me or mich if the above two qualifications are satisfied, but we're not about to go hunting down a translator for something we're currently not really interested in.

And for the question as to whether we've stopped all work entirely: http://dynasty-scans.com/scanlators/dynasty_scans
We're not dead, but no one really would say we're alive either at the pace we're doing shit.

I forgot to take that off. We were pretty confused by that suggestion in the previous topic as well.

Results were mostly that the reader is getting a bit slow to load pages for many but it's in the manageable area of annoyance. Perceived performance has remained subjectively the same. The Touhou section was filled with slightly more positive smilies but plenty of "fuck it' ones.

It's all Mich's fault.

Explain? I'm not seeing it.

Done.

Fixed by now and I added the pairings for the chapters.
