We've run into the same problem we've had in the past with our host for our raws.  I picked them specifically to avoid this kind of problem but it seems they've changed their rules since I signed up.  At this point we're just going to run into the same problem over and over again unless we come up with a different idea for serving you raws so after the section goes down it will stay down.  I'm not going to make any promises about it coming back up.  If I find a solution it'll come back up, if I don't it won't.

In the meantime, I've disabled the file download limit, so feel free to rape the section until it goes down.  That'll happen sometime in the next couple days.

Sorry this had to happen and I'll wrack my brain to try and come up with a solution.

Seems like one of our servers is down, but I have no idea what the cause is. Could be dns not working properly, maintenance by the hosting etc. I can't do anything about, except inform you about it.

A note, the server in question is the one where all our raws AND releases are located, so downloads are non-functioning atm.

UPDATE:It has been fixed now. I'll quote Druid:

'What happened is that the domain expired and was immediately picked up by some opportunistic bastard trying to show ads to people trying to get to our raws...'

I thought I'd make an update so that you all know what's going on, us being all quite for some time. Many of you already know that we at times seemingly go inactve just to reappear and I can assure you that, once again, this is the case for our current situation.

So, what's wrong? People being busy. We're all 20+, real life can really throw stuff your way that forces you to put your hobbies on hold. We're a small group so when most of us are busy (our main jp-eng checker is reaaal busy) it tends to slow us down, a lot.

But we're still working. As of now, Avian Wander chapters 5-7 are translated, Honeymoon Salad chapter 28 too, a friendly bird told me chapter 29 is on the way too. We're waiting for scans for some projects, Kurozakuro being one of them, although we have someone interested in helping us out so that will hopefully sort itself out.

So there it is, feel free to comment. No hatemail, please ;_;

PS. As you can read, we could use the help of someone who is fluent in both Japanese and English. Feel up for it? Mail me ^^

We've now added measures to rectify our spam problem. Hopefully no more spam, at least not from new accounts. Might still pop up a few spam posts on the forum until we've found all the spam accounts.

As some of you might've noticed our forum has started to get spammed, not extremely hard but still quite noticable. The public sign-up for the site has been temporarily been disabled, if you want to join e-mail me (Girsej) and I'll manually create an account for you. My adress is on the staff page.

Also, the forum itself has been disabled for now. Druid might activate it again once he wakes up but I had enough of cleaning up all the spam :/

So new release, 2 chapters of the greatest manga (Honeymoon Salad) ever? I'd like to think so ;D

I found a new host and hopefully we won't have the same problems.  Their terms of service don't have any rules about not using an account for "storage purposes" so we should be good.  Have fun downloading again, and let us know if you have any issues.  The speed will probably be a little slower for those like me that can download at a speed over 400kb/s, but it should still be fast enough.

The inevitable finally happened.  I'll be shutting down the raw section tomorrow at around noon pacific standard time.  Our host doesn't like the way we're using it so we'll have to find a new host.  I'll keep this site (hanashi.org) on this host however because the host is excellent reliability and performance-wise, and this site isn't breaking any rules.  We'll try to have the raw section back up as soon as possible, so hang on and above all, please, please, please be patient!  If you see any comments to the effect of "hey! why is the raws site down!?" or "what's taking you so long getting the raw section back up!?" then please feel free to bash them mercilessly, although I'll try my best to keep the second comment from appearing by finding us a new host quickly.

Thanks for your patience and bear with us!

Hoo hoo hoo, any good kids in the house? I sure hope you've all been good because you wouldn't want to miss all these presents we have. Now, my sack is overflowing with presents, all 20 of them all good so how about we hand them out?

We have 4 chapters of Ani-com for all you shoujo/onii-chan lovers out there.

Then there's 2 chapters of Avian Wander to blow you away with it's awesomeness.

And before you read the 1 chapter of Honeymoon Salad, you should read 1 volume of Baby Leaf, a sort of prequel to Honeymoon. Yes, that's right, a total of 8 chapters of Ninomiya goodness.

The hard gifts would have to be the 5 chapters of Kurozakuro that we whipped up, finishing up volume 6 and putting us very close to the finish line with Kurozakuro. Only 1 volume left, ladies and gentlemen.

Of course, the cherry on top is 1 chapter of Landreaall, finishing up the backstory and volume 1.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Druid Update: Girsej missed this and most of you know the drill but new downloaders need to know this.  To get the new files go to our irc channel (#hanashi @ irc.irchighway.net).  The link to the download page will be in the topic.  If you don't know how to get on irc then you'll have to wait a bit and get it in a couple of days when I put up links on our project page.

OK, so this is the not so interesting part of the present. This part is a big update to our raw section... as for the other part, keep your fingers crossed XD
