jb2448.info is in dire need of one or several MySQL experts to survive

As you might have noticed our partner site for online Pokémon manga reading and downloading, jb2448.info – which is owned by a Team Special Scans staff member – has not seen any updates since the beginning of this year. The reason for that is because the site has been plagued with many MySQL errors that have prevented uploading and even editing album descriptions. The situation is so bad that we are considering something called Project Armageddon, which is basically to delete the whole site and rebuild it from scratch. This will take quite a while and over 28 000 comments will be lost. (Don’t worry about translations posted in comments, we will copy those to text documents). This is unless someone knowledgeable in MySQL is able to fix the site. Once the site is functional again we have backlog of scans to release. A lot of the scans are RAWs of Pokémon manga that has only been published in magazines before, so that is something to look forward to. If you want to help out you can e-mail the webmaster here. We will wait until November 1st. If no progress has been made by then we will initiate Project Armageddon.

Those of you who have tumblr blogs, please consider reblogging this tumblr post and we might find someone who can fix the MySQL errors so that we won’t have to do this.

Back from the dead & status update

We’re back. We’ve had some major trouble with finding an active translator, which is the main reason for our long hiatus, but we should finally have that under control. We have put together a dedicated scanlation team that will hopefully be able to release scanlations on a regular basis. Next up is chapter 459, which currently is in the quality control stage.
