How did batoto die? I discovered scans in late 2019, and only used MD.

@Heliocentric model of the universe
Yeah, I'd like to know too. And, like Richman, I'm too lazy to google it.

Oshiete kudasai!

@Richman @bigtiddyoneesan
tl;dr:
Imagine MangaDex, but run by a single dude (plus mods) with another dude providing a couple of additional servers, entirely unoptimized, with a hacked forum engine to host scans and no API.
There was no size limit, so you could find chapters 150MB+ size because QUALITY IS IMPORTANT.
Because reading mongo online is too difficult, some people made their own bots for it that would request hundreds of mangoes all at once. Servers died.
And every single aggregator relied on it for content with their own bots. Servers died some more.
So, the dude said fuck it and closed the shop. But at least their catalog got salvaged and then ported to MD.
The end.

 

[Richman]

@Forerunner WMD Simple words please.
So batoto was a very poor database and since everyone wanted a piece of it, it got overwhelmed?

 

[Halo]

@Richman pretty much. It didn't help that the admin refused to implement any type of API, so apps like Tachiyomi were especially harmful.

 

[Richman]

@Halo
What's an API? And how do those apps cause harm?

 

[pandascepter]

@Halo
Is Halo pronoucne Halo or Halo or Halo ?


Haloception.

heh, this link has "anal" in it. Very fitting.

Spoiler

@Richman
Application programming interface. In case of MangaDex, apps like Tachiyomi can request only necessary data like this. One request that results with everything necessary in just 68.36KB of data, versus 52+ requests and 1.52MB if the usual page was crawled without caching, and it's still has missing data.

@pandascepter
It's 『ハロー』 (haroo) - butchered Japanese pronunciation of "hello" with the r/l debacle added.

@Habbo Hotel
What was the reason for you learning various things in the realm of computer information systems? What made you take up Photoshop? Why do you think you would be a good fit for this workplace? How do you describe 'teamwork'? What is your method when it comes to problem solving? Why should we hire you? If you were told to move Mt. Everest, how would you do it? What are the limitations of the 8th dimensional plane? Are traps gay?

you shouldn't start a new arc when there's another thing going on here. that would be confusing
