Except if you're logged in on the mainsite and follow any link to the forums from there, it creates the forum account.
Okay, and? I was an active user of mangadex without an account for years. Made an account last year. Made my forum account the other day when things started happening because I'm concerned some of my favorite series are next on the chopping block. This is EXACTLY the type of issue that's going to bring out a large number of users who have never interacted with the forums before.

Ok so I don't really care about most of this drama as it's the same old sh*t on different site / forum.
But do we know if Mangadex is really going corporate or is it just baseless rumor?
I mean, I can understand why they would try to cover their asses as the UK is 1984 with its censorship at the moment.

Yeah, sure buddy. Prove it. Send a screenshot of the site that you took before you made either accounts.

I thought corporate was just a word to indicate the scale of a company... but yeah this is probably a money move. Or at least to avoid "losing" money or something

That can't be right since I checked comments by clicking the link from the chapter listing for 6 years before I made my first comment and I had to make a forum account at that point. If this is true then it is a more recent change and hasn't been that way for the majority of this site's existence.

have they gone corporate any of the other 1000 times people have said they were in the past 8 years?

Thanks, I guess I'll come back here in a few weeks to see the situation then.

If it was under the V3 forums, that may have behaved differently - I never poked around during that era very much. But the current incarnation of the forums does behave this way.

I'm truly feeling like the unluckiest guy on earth... when I finally decided start uploading my current readings, this happens... not that it directly affects me but I can't associate myself with sites and names that do this b.s. I already don't touch anything "official" for that reason, imagine a pirate site (lol)... not a big deal tbh, after so many big names going down in a short space of time, maybe it's better to just explore other options (again). MD still good too in other aspects i guess.

I can imagine a lot of people found this thread while trying to figure out why a manga in an open tab or in a bookmark suddenly started returning 404. I'm no stranger to suddenly finding out all of the chapters in English for some manga being nuked - but to have an entire page being wiped from existence (while it still appears as the first result on Google for that manga)...

Even if i never commented before - this kind of BS would make me go to the forum to ask "the fuck?".
i found this thread cause of doomposters posting on random series in the same vain as the people shout "yea, go report everything so they take it all down"

like, do these people want censorship to happen or not? it's such a shame that the concept of middle-ground has died and now you must take sides else you're everyone's enemy (granted, the concept of "inaction is still action" isn't wrong either, so throw in 2-sideism for good measure, the third "centrist" side doesn't exist says people, only for or against)

People who support a "middle ground" censorship do not deserve nuance. "Yeah let them just censor what you like but please stay away from what I like, I can't believe you don't support a middle ground"

A prime example of the extreme.
Also has a joining date during the thread.
It really doth be a problem that bad actors worked hard on making a good discussion impossible here

You're still making the retarded argument that forum date = use date. Also yes, of course I'm extreme on freedom of expression, it's the most important value.
