Well, did you check discord for news?


Paffele

a dont have account and wont to


r-kirk

invites are blocked apparently, source-dude on r/ flamescans


antagim

The site is down intentionally, apparently.


Complex_Scientist_30

Can you take a screenshot of The announcement on Discord so we know what’s going on


The_Sayk

"Site is down, this is intentional, no bug. We'll try to keep you updated on this matter." 19/10/2023 18:06 (Greece time). There haven't been any updates after that.


One_Following_6245

New message on the site is that they're closing down


The_Sayk

Yea, I asked in their discord server and apparently they are disbanding. But they said that some parts of flame might remain and might rebrand. But no official announcement as to what exactly is going to happen to them. Ig we will have to wait and see.


kiselize

Damn they were one of the few remaining good scan sites😞


shadoow029

any info on why they disbanding,or wtf is happening


kiselize

I dont, but usually scan teams disbanding is bcs they're not generating enough income to sustain their expenses. Example being adblocks, lack of donations, other sites stealing their scanlations. The last one is the worst, imo. They're losing traffic and possible income generated (mostly thru ads) bcs of it and ironically, those sites generally show up first on search results which also contribute to people not going to the scan site


OutlandishnessFine46

Forget flamescans.org its gone site dos not exists any more every thing that you read on flame scans you will now have to read at other sites


Last-Bad9687

Do you know of any other sites? That has everything flame scan had


John_D_o_E

You still have Asura and reset , them decent


EssayOk9605

Don't forget reaperscans.


OutlandishnessFine46

Reset, asura, drake, note if you read dungeon reset on flame scans than you are behaind 19 to 15 chapter on reset scans, manhwa freak is good, void scans, mm-scans, toonly and reaper scans these sites are god for reading free they have almost every thing


Weird-Storm-1854

DeffyFM

This is all the info they give on discord [https://i.gyazo.com/1426cc3f5e38f13c7884b12e06e3be06.png](https://i.gyazo.com/1426cc3f5e38f13c7884b12e06e3be06.png)


Last-Bad9687

How do I get into the discord?


Dasheek

Start arguing?


Erebuse94

....... Bruh seriously?


Dasheek

Alternatively, you can also scour MLP fandom and find more elaborate ways of getting into the Discord.


Sinful_Cyanide

That's super vague, hopefully soon they'll at least give an eta for when it'll be back online again.


gariflo

I love their suggestion : "go touch grass, pet kittens." 😁

SoulEater2023

A lot of scanlation websites are being taken down. No clue why. Here is the latest message from FlameScans >Thank you to all of our community members for their continued support. > >Unfortunately, this site has discontinued all services related to the function and content hosted as of October 19, 2023. We appreciate your steadfast engagement and commitment to us through the years. Here is a Carol King, Bill Withers, Ben E. King song, and here is a rick roll. Give [InfinityScans](https://infinityscans.xyz) a try


CrazyShark1779

Thanks for recommending bro


dragonash2016

says the Breaker is dropped with no chapters :(


JohnnyZoidberg

This has me thinking: I love that we're able to access this stuff for free, but does it benefit the authors? I'll probably end up looking for ways to buy hardcopies.


Jack_D_Rackham

If you want to show your support you can buy copies of the other two season and for eternal force, you can invest money/coins in the app webtoon, they are late in the release schedule but you can support them anyway


Hida_Oni

are you aware that they are actually FREE even in korea? except like few latest episodes?


OutlandishnessFine46

Physical copys are not free jungle juice is 20 dollars for volume 1


Hida_Oni

and.. physical copys are not in every country


OutlandishnessFine46

You can buy online physical copy, any store that sells books or just search for manga shops you will find them, you can buy via amazon for example jungle juice physical copy volume 1 is 20 dollars, and manga is more expansive 15-25 dollars per chapter is physical copy


Hida_Oni

Again, do you aware that amazon dont ship to every country? Also buying on amazon in 99.999% cases give like 0 cents to author.


OutlandishnessFine46

You do not have to buy it on amazon lol there are other sites like shounenjump for manga where you can buy and read manga, and you have manga in book stores in almost every country but manga is 15-25 dollars per chapter, and on tappytoon manhwa is 60-105 dollars per 100 chapters for one you will need 5 dollars or subscribcion same goes for tapas does sites are legal for reading english translation, crunchyroll Has manhwa for selling too, its 15 dollars per volume and you read it online or subscribcion, for 5 dollars a month and you get to read all manga and comics they have including watching anime shortly after Japan relase


Just_Refrigerator894

Yeah it's just $20 for the actual comic and $200 for shipment to my country so not feasible, atleast until there are actually infrastructures for selling these comics comes into play


Just_Refrigerator894

Yeah it's just $20 for the actual comic and $200 for shipment to my country so not feasible, atleast until there are actually infrastructures for selling these comics comes into play


OutlandishnessFine46

You can pay to read online too its 20$ per chapter on shounenjump, or crunchyroll for subscription 5$ a month and you get acess to all manga and anime they have legaly, in my country Serbia there is 3 manga shops plus one book store that sells books and a lilte bit of manga, and that is all there is in my country


Hida_Oni

20$ per chapter? its cost of whole volume and you telling us to pay so much to sj ? Also they dont have breaker and crunchy even before didnt worked with my country. So.. who i must pay?And yes, when part1 become available in my country (even before it was available in english) i brought physical volumes. and would do with part2 and probably 3 if they become available, but they are not.


Hasuko

Paying translators costs money.


Bluemikami

What does this have to do with the issue ?


JohnnyZoidberg

I'm so used to getting it for free via the website that i didn't really think about how I'd go about it if the website were down. That triggered the ADD thought jumps of how i consume media, and how likely it is for the media to retain it's quality if i just get it for free. Y'all have been absolute TOXIC about this work and complained about it's quality. If this was something that you paid for, you'd be justified in being unhappy. But if you get it for free, and it doesn't meet your standards, blasting it online is trashy.


legend00

I’m sorry but that’s stupid. There isn’t a social contract between the audience and the author that says payment gifts us the ability to complain about it. I’m gonna trigger another ADD thought but you and those toxic fans are on the same level, you not complaining about it would make you just as much of a thief if you didn’t. As long as people arnt harassing the author or artists they stand on the same moral ground as you. I’d be fine if you were just bemoaning thief, support the author and all that. This addendum Mr. thief that you’re somehow more in the right cause you’re not toxic on an English speaking site that the creators will never even see is laughable.


loachocinco

I was gonna write "Wouldn't paying for a service, and having that service be shitty warrant a reason to complain? " but I realized that reading a story isn't a service. It would be akin to hating how someone ended a novel, or blaming an author for delays. They owe you nothing. The most someone could get upset about in this situation, is if you're paying the website for a service and it randomly went down.


legend00

A lot of people argue that when you start a story and you have an audience that they’re obligated to finish it. Basically they’re entitled, when you buy a book you bought the book not the authors future time to finish it or anything else. If the duo behind the breaker wanted to quit rn, that would suck and I would complain but I’m not entitled to their story.


MediocreTake

If you want a free way to support, just liking the released chapters on the Naver Webtoons app helps the author in the algorithm and indirectly will get him more views/money as well. The amount of views and likes are real KPIs that he can bring to his editors/publishers in negotiating conversations. I read the scans because they’re always going to be ahead of the official releases but since the scans don’t benefit the authors, I still try to make an effort to comment/like the official stuff.


MadHiggins

fansub translations massively benefit foreign authors and creators. without the fansub community, the western markets for these types of media would be a fraction of what they are today. and expanded markets means more money for the creators


JohnnyZoidberg

that's a valid argument.


OutlandishnessFine46

Scan sites are illegal if you want to help author and translatiors read at legal sites like tappytoon tapas webtoon, webnovel for manga its manga plus buy Shueisha, book walker these are only legal sites for reading


OpinionLast109

those legally always slow translate and sometimes they don't translate in English, those are the reason we use iilegal scan sites


OutlandishnessFine46

No they are very fast its just that they lock additonal chapters on their site behaind additonal pay wall thats what webnovel does tapas and tappytoon are also fast but you have to subscribe to read and you have to pay additonaly money to unlock further more chapters, while on webnovel you get to unlock any comic to read for monthly subscription, while manga site like viz, book walker, crunchyroll have alot of manga its either to pruched manga to download and read thats on book walker price are from 1 dollars to 10 for manga amd same goes for light novel


OpinionLast109

no at that time that i saw (for example: solo leveling), they didn't have any paywall locked, it just the legal scanslation is a lot slower.


OutlandishnessFine46

As long as have scans in its name its not legal, tapas Has some free stuff to read but all other thing is locked behaind pay wall, webtoon Has certan amaount for free and rest of it is locked behaind pay wall, tappytoon Has every thing under paywall


Better-Spare-7071

If you find a way to purchase it, please share the link with us


JohnnyZoidberg

There's a lot of stuff on Amazon but I'm looking for alternatives.


Hida_Oni

correction: if you find a way to purchase it on native or english language (but oh wait, theres one except that its like always month or two behind)


OutlandishnessFine46

Do not know for manhwa but manga you can search store in yours town or country or online for physical copy its 15-25 dollars per chapter


Hida_Oni

and they pretty much making money by just drawing and sending chapters to publisher, who makes money from selling "latest chapters" for some weeks and making money from views (ads and stuff) you know why there lots of sites even in origin country with manga\\manhwa\\manhua? because they generate bazilion ads and making even more then official publishers. (and you thought they doing this for "free")


AnimageNeby

And only NOW you're realizing this? ;-) ​ I always thought, scanlation-sites should have a one-click button to compensate the author. I think most people will not have problem donating a buck or so, if they know it goes to the author directly. What won't happen is that they pay to illegal scanlation and aggregate sites that just stuff the money in their own pocket.


shally87

Their server crash. I was reading manhua and the pictures load very slow. Should be due to overload of cpu. Good business that cause server overload. so I am expecting they are changing to a better server specification. There will be more ads in the future.


khagonbit

I got rick rolled twice today.


mohan_hamal

The youtube ad saved me.


KkPasta_280

All I wanted was to join the discord. And they rick-roll us. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|flip_out)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|table_flip)


rainmanthegoat

It's probably apart of the DMCA take down that hit AQUASCANS and other sites.


Ill-Trade8822

Do you know anywhere that I could read stuff in?


KaroshiKT

I believe it got taken down along with other scanlation websites such as Aqua Scans and Realm Scans due to Kakao.


Lawrence_Wolf

And realmscans had some good ones I was reading, one of which got given by asura...


AyluinReymaer

Realmscans became [rizzcomic.com](https://rizzcomic.com). At first, the site wasn't up yet when they were announcing the change to this site. But it is online now. I wonder if flamescans will do something like realmscans as well...


GrailReasearcher

I'm waiting for flamescans to make a new appearance as well.


fj0r1

Both asura and flame are down now. I hope they don't quit.


No_End_6622

Asura is not down tho


Dense-Adhesiveness36

I think he got bamboozled by aggregor clone, its called asurascanss btw, 2nd on google search result


AwkwardPhilosophy882

It's true asura is not down, i was redirected to their new site/domain. It's now asura toon


-bender-is-great

Apparently the site was discontinued fyi


BigMacJerome

Any replacements?


OutlandishnessFine46

Nope


MrWodensfang

reaper, asura, luminous, mangadex + a billion aggregates and scan stealing sites


futalust

Luminous is so dead


MrWodensfang

jennysaysfu

It's probably because of what happened to realmscans. They got scared


CrazyShark1779

What happened?


Substantial_Text_548

They migrated to another website it's called rizz comic now


UserLesser2004

F to flame scans. Is this hero for real and jungle juice were my favorites. Along with the 31st piece which was upin coming.


Jetblastix

They're moving domains.


VoidZer00

Just came here to find out about good old flamescan and here to say goodbye


Elesiel_Sai

DMCA took the site down. A total of 367 sites were or are going to be hit by it (with most of them being aggregators). This is due to a Subpeona to cloudflare submitted by “WEBTOON Entertainment Inc.” Link to Subpeona: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ByQ4W2KkHyVq3NxkR0SK8YiJ2HQIgWzO/view?usp=sharing Court Case: https://www.pacermonitor.com/public/case/50052997/No\_Case\_Title


CherryBlssom1

Cloudflare back at it again lol


Late_shadow

Their sect leader died. . Now they closed the door.


kingdonshawn

Dear readers, I know the last couple of days have been hectic. I’d like to thank you for your patience with all the changes and announcements so far. After a lengthy discussion, we decided to go through a full rebrand process. Currently, we are setting up a completely new website and domain to transfer all the data, too. We will be rebranding with a new name: Flamecomics. We will also adjust the management process in hopes of a smoother operation. Sx and I will be stepping down from our active roles as admins. I'd like to thank all of you for sticking through our journey as Flame scans. We hope you continue with us in the new phase ahead. Thank you, Sx and Aiko <@&936564643055411303> @everyone


Qwedf231
