Binktopia's Partners / Sites /Groups that are allowed to store / use our scanlations:
International use of our Scanlations:
- All International Groups may use Binktopia's scanlations, unless it is clearly stated otherwise by one of the admins. There are no such cases so far, so feel free to use our scanlations. The only rule you have to follow is: Put our Credits Page in your International Release.
- What we won't do is, provide International Groups with cleaned pages and .psd files, unless we have some sort of deal like you providing us exclusive RAWs for series that we want to work on. If you can offer us something, we might rethink this position, otherwise we'll stick with our Laissez-faire philosophy, please understand this, there are dozens of groups using our cleans, we just don't have the time for active cooperation.
- If you aren't on the list of our Partners, we ask you to not Mirror our Scanlations in any way. Mirroring includes reuploading our files on free file hosts, your personal server / ftp or website. It also includes Online Readers. What you can do is, if you are running a Blog or similar site, link to our scanlations. You can link to this site, binktopia.org directly or to any of our listed Partners. This way of indirect announcement of our scans is actually really welcome and we'd be happy to see our scans spread further, but in a controlled way. So please, don't Mirror our Scanlations. Make always sure to link to the actual source. There is a simple reason for this rule: we want to make sure that our work goes unaltered. We have had problems in the past, with websites removing our Credits Pages or even watermarking our own Scanlations and claiming them to be their work. We don't want this to happen again.
Current websites and forums where Binktopia either releases directly or is okay with releasing at are:
MangaShare.com - Binktopia's Forum Home and long-term Partner. Seeing how the Staff of Mangashare and Binktopia are one and the same, this site is and will be the primary place to distribute our scanlations.
Mangahelpers.com - We release all our Scanlations on Mangahelpers ourselves. This site is a very important part of the scanlation scene and is a good friend of binktopia.
Mangaupdates.com - We enjoy the simplicity of this site and the way it informs manga enthusiasts about basically every release out there. If you see a release on our site that doesn't appear on Mangaupdates yet, feel free to submit it yourself.
Mangatoshokan.com - This site and MangaShare's own reader are the only two Online Readers where we release our scans on our own. Mangatoshokan are friends and we really enjoy and support their site for uncompressed images. Feel free to upload our Scanlations there if you spot any missing one's, though we do try to release on MT asap, too.
forums.narutofan.com - unlike with Tazmo on the website of narutofan, we don't demonize their forums. Many good things started out of there, and there are still amazing artists and people who appreciate Quality Scanlations, so we release our Naruto Scanlations on the forums. We do so ourselves, don't do it on your own. We reserve the right to edit or delete all our releases there.
apforums.net - Binktopia's One Piece Scanlations are being submitted on this site as well, as it's full of fans of everyone?s / our favorite, series. Just like with Naruto, we reserve the right to edit or delete all our releases there, so please don't submit our scans there, we will do so ourselves.
MangaFox.com -We don't really need more than two Online Reading websites to distribute our Scanlations, but since Mangafox asked directly for permission to host our scans, and took a step towards us, we allowed it. MangaFox is allowed to host any of our Scanlations, 24 hours after we release on binktopia.org. This sort of agreement works best for both sides.
Future Partners?
If you want to be added to the list, feel free to contact me (zidane) or the other admins of the list (except for thatbabo :P). We can work things out if you agree to our simple terms. Your site should not charge people for a free service. NarutoFan.com for example, takes money from people for things that they can get for free on the Internet, in some cases from our site. We won't cooperate with such sites, furthermore we will try to make the Manga Community aware of such fraud. We did so in the past and will continue to do so.
As for why OneManga isn't allowed to store our scans: They are a huge site that is only about profit. They are a big collection of speedscans that are too lazy / ignorant to replace bad quality with better since the majority of fans are leechers who don't care. We do care. We won't support their site with our scans since we don't want to support their attitude. It's not like we are first that often, so they don't care much.
Again, to summarize this: if you aren't one of our listed Partners, please don't Mirror our Scanlations in any possible way, no DL's, no Online Reading. You can link to any of our listed Partners, preferably binktopia.org or mangashare.com of course. If you wish to be added to our Partners list, your site shouldn't be about money, then contact me or any other administrator of Binktopia and we will discuss the matter together. Please follow this simple request. We invest dozens of hours of our spare time simply because we enjoy this scene, all we ask for is this little respect. Honor among thieves if you want to call it so.
History of Binktopia:
Is currently in the works. Unfortunately one of the founding members, Binky, disappeared in the shithole that is Glasgow, again. And thatbabo just can't get his ass up to do anything but watch the new Fairy Tail anime. So until further notice, we are *working* on it. It will be awesome once it's done... if it ever gets done...
