The manga is constantly being updated every week, so you're not likely going to see them all put together in one. Your best bet is to download the volume zips. You can try the linker link in my sig if that's enough...

I don't think the English Manga scans thread should be locked. It was open for the longest time before I thought it would be a good idea to make the thread relevant again. People come through here and the thread should be up-to-date. Not to mention that it was Kazuha's thread. If anyone, she should decide if it should be closed.

Rule #15- Necromancy is Bad
Check the date on the thread before replying to it. If no new posts have been made for a number of days on a thread, it is dead.
Rule #11- Advertising
Only advertise on the advertisements board and in your signature.
Rule #13- If threads get locked, they get locked for a reason - don't make new threads asking why it happened, and don't whine.
Rule #16- Read the FAQ!!! Please do. It clears up a lot of things and saves us the trouble of answering questions over an over again.
(personal opinion): The original thread existed because there was an environment in which people worked with each other on the board instead of competing through various scanlation groups, based in different sites, all creating different versions of the same scan. It was never used to, de facto, promote a particular scan over another scan.

Hmm, you do have a point, Knightus... but I disagree XD There ARE threads, which get updated occasionally, no matter if it's a week or two months. And those are the two manga scans threads. You can't say people don't pay attention to THOSE two in particular, can you? From my experience I can honestly say that the Necromancy rule does not go for the Manga Scans. I LIKE the idea of having those scans being regularly updated, because this forum sort of revived the Conan translation. I think the forum deserves it. Call me sentimental if you want.
Magic-chan doesn't really advertise anything too. On her site she posts the same scans you have, edited from the same person, giving credits and all... I consider it making a mirror link. Correct me if I'm wrong, that's my opinion. =/

It's unfortunate, but that's no longer the case Kaito... though I wish it were, also for sentimental reasons, because the Translating files and English Manga Scans threads mean a lot to me. For reasons I can't understand, two completely different scans are being created, translated and edited each week.. Though I know the reasons which led up to the sorry state of affairs today, it would be wonderful if we could all learn to get along again...
If it were at all possible for the two sites (and anyone else who wishes to join in) to share scans, translations and edits again, then it wouldn't be self-promotion. It wouldn't be necessary to post two completely different sets of scans for every file updated in the English Manga Scans (a thought which is, really, really ridiculous and not in the spirit of this board at all)

Knightus, the only one who is making this a competition is you. You're the one who won't let it go and who keeps trying to start stuff. Your actions do not match your words. When this all started, you professed that you didn't want it to be a competition, and yet sat there and openly let people badmouth MBG on your c-box. And yes, you were there--you were making comments occasionally yourself.
The fact is that it's over, it's done, and there are now two separate sites doing two sets of scans. I still fail to see why it's such a bad thing to have two sets of scans going on. Plenty of series have more than one scanlation team working on the, and it doesn't seem to affect anything. If anything, it's a benefit--it could bring more people to the fandom.
And it's not as confusing as you say. The number of people I have seen who are confused by the fact that there are two releases? One. And that was explained after they questioned on a c-box. It's a far cry from the gaping fandom rift you keep trying to paint it as. Fact is that there ISN'T a rift in the fandom. People are going about their business as usual, doing their usual activities. Almost nothing has changed.
Here's another question, and I'd like an honest answer: if it were anyone else doing Conan scanlations, would you still care as much? You didn't seem to care that anyone else was hosting the scans--except for her.
Furthermore, you keep professing how much scanning and everything means to you because you love Conan. Don't you think it means just as much to Magic? Don't you think she loves Conan just as much as you do? So why in the world would you try to take that away from her? You should understand that more than anyone, given how much you love it. And please don't respond that it wouldn't be an issue if the sites joined back up--that is not a valid option.
You need to let go of this. It's not going to go back to the way it was. You are doing your scans, and MBG is doing hers. For everyone's sakes, including your own, please just LET IT GO.

Well, I really can’t say this is out of character for you, Magic. I really don’t know what’s more intriguing about that post: the fact that it doesn’t address the topic at hand (that opening English Manga Scans is inappropriate at the moment) or that you simply just made it very clear you don’t wish to cooperate with anyone, let alone Knightus. Seeing you opt out of dignity for angst is a matter of intrigue for certain. On topic, I think it should stay closed.
Knightus pointed out—and correctly so—that this isn’t in the spirit of the “English Manga Scans” at all. How can you begin to say it is? How many of the old files had two weekly versions created by undeniably separate, “competing” entities? The only one I see that desires this so is Magic. Perhaps “she” wishes that Knightus won’t post his scans in the thread, so as to allow it to become a domain for advertising her own work.
I know Knightus doesn’t want the community divided—if only because of what he’s done for the anime community. Even after clearly distracting him from other commitments (even outside of his huge contributions to the manga), he still aspired to help us at every opportunity. This wasn’t for greed. This wasn’t for promotion. This was because he wanted to help Conan, which is obviously something Magic will never even begin to fathom. I don’t know I’m referring to you in the third person, though; it’s quite obvious to me that you dictated all of candyland's post.
Honestly, I’m going to deviate from Knightus’ philosophy for moment. How he can still offer to work with you is beyond me. I know that he’s sincere about it as well, simply because that’s the kind of guy he is. In my eyes, you’ve done absolutely nothing to indicate you can get along and cooperate for the greater good with anyone. You’ve demonstrated an astonishing lack of humility and even less character. This little pathetic post is proof enough.
I’m sure Knightus would post something along these lines if he were as confrontational or as caustic as I am. Fortunately for you, he isn’t. He’s an honest guy who has always done his best to help—even after working with you, which is a feat unto itself.
If you haven’t figured it out by now, this really isn’t Knightus. This is Jd- *slash* KaizouSeizo from the anime community. I have had confrontations in the past; I’m the first to admit it. I think doing the same things is a waste of manpower, time, and effort (i.e., the time “you” wasted on 490 that could have been spent on one of the other hundreds of unsubbed episodes). That’s why we have only had one actual confrontation in the anime community and that was Movie 10. Everyone involved admitted later it was a mistake, and we have yet to repeat it.
Conan = collaboration. It’s that simple. More so than any other fandom I've come across, it’s all about working together to keep everyone together... which is exactly why this forum was a key force behind developing said fandom. You asked if Knightus would mind if someone else were doing it? Of course he wouldn’t if they were doing it for the right reasons, which you are not. I can speak personally and say that I trust rajhaziel (from Neg) and Teppei (from DCTP) to handle Conan whenever I leave for good. You know why? It’s simply because they are doing Conan because they want to help their fellow fans watch their favorite show.
That’s the respect you’ll never get from me, for one. You’re in it for yourself and anyone who takes time to consider it will, inevitably, come to that conclusion.

I thought this drama was over.
In case it had anything to do with it, I want to say that my donation to MBG last year was for hitting her site pretty hard in one sitting for tankoubon raws, not for any scanslation work.

*sighs* Gods... there were days when I used to gloat that there wasn't any Drama in the DC Fandom.
1: This is the thread for English Manga Scans. Petty arguments, re-hashing bad memories and mud-slinging about people's various virtues, or lack there of, does nothing to get manga scans or re-edits done. Nor does it help the fandom.
2: We have THREE versions of Magic Kaito Volume One translated out in various distribution for download. There have been more than one version of chapters out previously. No one effing -cares- so long as they can read it.
3: Get Over Yourselves. ~_~;;

Some things never end....
large posts = bad for my brain
Let's just say I'm grateful to Knightus for his manga scanning and people shouldn't try to compete with previously released works. beit manga scans or anime oversubbing
