So I guess we stop? The series had modest readership as-is, and we had an agreement with Smiley that he kindly allowed us to keep the mangadex audience so we wouldn't be doing translation for no one, since I think on a basic psychology level, few people will want to read something twice, even if in the long run, with a bit of patience, we were aiming to catch up with the series before it concluded, so no one would sacrifice anything, everyone would get a better version, or follow the link to the Smiley version if they insisted on being impatient, happily ever after. (He is, btw, improving, but where we're at, around chapter 11, his stuff is still pretty darn bad, to the point where you would get the wrong impression of the story if you based yourself on what he did).
I'll go check back with my group what we do next, but our "pull the plug" creterion was basically if Smiley's translations ever got uploaded on mangadex, and I don't see the genie getting back in the bottle.
