Title: VN fan translation sites
Post by: blakraven66 on May 19, 2010, 07:36:21 PM
Is it just me or are VN fan translation sites getting pulled?

I can't seem to access a lot of VN sites today namely: amaterasu translations (http://amaterasu.is.moelicious.be/), dakkodango translations (http://dakkodango.com/), tlwiki (http://tsukuru.info/tlwiki/), novelnews.net (http://novelnews.net/), mirrormoon (http://mirrormoon.org/)(granted they're dead.)

Coincidence that they're all having problems? Or am I for some reason getting blocked from these sites?

Where do you live?
I know Minori got pissed off a bit back. They or some other company might have done something.

That said, I don't think it's just you as I can't access them either.

Seeing as these are fan translation sites, they would be blocking Japanese IP. I'm not in Japan though...

I don't think Minori or other VN companies could've made these sites just disappear without prior notice since they'd more likely be sending C&D letters than hack a site so maybe a server problem...but 5 sites at the same time...damn...

Well, I'm in America and can access all the sites linked and they seem intact to me  :P

You just had good timing :P , it seems to really have been a server problem of some sort since I can access them now.

But seriously, how could I not get suspicious/alarmed when 5 VN related sites I visit suddenly became inaccessible? Especially in a time when VN companies are cracking down on fan translations.  ::)
