According to MangaUpdates this is still ongoing, unless you are using a different meaning for Axed than "original publisher decides there are not enough readers to warrant paying the mangaka". And since one translation group translating in addition to another group (sniping) doesn't concern the original publisher in any way I get the feeling that we may be using different terms.
I don't mean to be offensive or controversial, I just thought I would answering the question while stating that I may have misunderstood.
