    Major Announcement: Introducing Path.net, Our New Sponsor!

    It has been two and a half weeks since MangaDex was hit with a DDoS. The initial DDoS didn’t last for too long, but it caused Cloudflare to begin throttling its free tier of service to us. To be fair, it is quite surprising that we lasted so long on their free tier considering that we pushed...

    February 2019: Waifu For Laifu

    Love is in the air! No, seriously. Did you know that some insects and most mammals release pheromones into the air to signal sexual readiness? Humans do it to some extent as well, but we almost never consciously recognize when a woman or a man is emitting pheromones. So the next time you see...

    Latest Update on State of MangaDex

    Update: So Cloudflare has extended their maintenance until February the 8th. @Holo currently has a ticket open with their customer service, but who knows when they'll reply? In the meantime, we've come up with some workarounds. Service should be restored nearly to pre-DDoS speeds for older...

Group delays serve several purposes. They can, for example, be used to ensure that the group's site receives traffic (which in turn...
