It's probably someone new to the group though I doubt it considering one community is closed and the other is moderated and has been inactive for a while. Which leads me to think that someone just assumes that since there's been no 'activity' they can release the mangas. I won't be surprised if another one leaks. Some people are dicks!
I don't know about this specific one but usually manga reading websites have bots search around and pick up chapters of manga and upload them. Mangago is no exception. I don't even know how you can upload manga individually here but I'm guessing it is possible.
Point is, it would have happened automatically at some point or another...
Nah this one is certainly uploaded by some jerks. I know bots exist, but this manga is a sekrit club only manga. I forgot the requirement but you can't easily join. Even if somehow the bot managed to enter it (impossible though), the download links have password, the rar files have passwords. So yeah, some jerks uploaded it this time. But well it's an inactive group and they released this manga like years ago, so the uploader probably thought the scanlators won't give a shit about it.
I wouldn't say "hogging," maybe they just want to polish their Japanese skills, as well as practicing editing/proofreading by scanlating manga. I notice that this is the reason for many scanlators on why they started in the business: it's just a hobby or practice.
Now, regarding the sharing, probably it's just that they wanted to make sure that the people who'll be getting a copy of their work is trustworthy enough that they will not upload it where the public can see it. THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER. THEY CAN END UP IN JAIL OR PAY SOME HEFTY FINES. It happened before, and I'm quite sure that no one from their readers had lend them a hand while they suffered the consequences from releasing such stuff.
Scanlators who are still doing this are brave ones. They have their real lives to live, and yet they still have time to do scanlations. Let's just follow their instructions. If they don't want it shared, let's do it. In the end, we will all benefit. It's so much better (though it's a hassle) to visit their sites if you want to read stuff.
P.S.: I'm not angry ok. (⌒▽⌒)
I'm just trying to explain to those who might not understand and think of the scanlators as selfish and arrogant people (like how some dislike September Scanlations).
Hmmmmm, yeah, that sounds reasonable lol. Thanks for explaining this!
Hahah I didn't think you were, you were being really nice explaining everything, it was interesting to read.
People dislike September Scanlations? Whut. I always thought they were quite nice, they update a lot of work, they have an online reader that's easy to use too, although I haven't been there for quite a while. I'll go check out the gossip ~
ok so apparently they are pricks, especially someone specifically in the group, for many multi layered reasons. I had no idea since all said reasons were out of my area of interest and expertise (comment sections and doujinshi - i don't read doujinshi much) but whoa
O_____O shit has hit the fan...
oh well, whatever, we are all amoral thieves in the end indulging in yaoi.
I'm not going to be reading about the scanlators' personalities but the manga.
But it's nice of you that you wanted to clear up the name of scanlation groups! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Oh really. That I didn't know. I'm not really familiar with the specifics on why some people dislike them, but I won't look for the reasons behind it anymore. Their works are really high-quality, so I'm not complaining.
I'm trying to understand that they're very protective of their work, especially that one of them (I think fencerx) is actually living and working in Japan right now. If they were found out that they do scanlations, she might end up getting in serious trouble. So I'll just take whatever they offer. Thanks for looking it up too!
Well I don't know anyone of them on a personal level, it just sucks that some people are arguing against each other when we have our love of yaoi to bind us all..regardless of where we are or what our differences is, we should just join hands and read yaoi! Hehehe. ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
I don't want to ruin your happiness but you guys don't know what you did, uploading this on other sites are the most cruel thing you can do to those that scanlate manga for personal viewing..
The sad thing is, Aurora Scans & H20 would probably forever stop scanlating manga. Fuck (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
*hope this'll be the last one. ヽ(`Д´)ノ
