Temple of Ranma's Sailor Senshi Seifuku

The Ranma Hentai site (http://ranmahentai.ranma.ws/RanmaManga/index.html), which was the source of the scanlation of the Ranma manga, has closed. I suspect that all links to this scanlation will cease to function soon enough.

Also, I suspect that the new site Ranma Hentai Books, which has a policy of no pirated works, will not continue to host these scanlations.

I already PM'd Sunshine Temple, so any WoG should be coming out, once the mods have any word.

No kidding. In a way we can only hope that the host who was providing the previous site will come back and restore access to that. The new site doesn't even have the Dojinshi(sp) thing going that they use to do.

Edit: 7:00PM PTZ
I just got E-Mail back from Shade. It seems this limitation is set in stone for them to have been able to get the new site at all.

I had an idea of hosting that scanlation myself, so that we'd be able to insert images into our posts and so on, but I have a few purely technical issues that would require time to resolve. Time I don't have

Basically, I'd have to write a cgi application which would limit bandwidth and block the site leechers.
Secondly, I have no a real domain name and my IP could change any time at my ISP whim.

There are online services, I can't remember if they are still free, that would allow you to link your site to them and let even a dialup IP restore the connection as if it were dedicated. If G4 hadn't put the Tech TV web site information through a meat grinder I'd be able to look up exactly which services they are easier.

Why? There's still plenty of other sources. For example: http://manga.bleachexile.com/ranma.html

Only problem there is they make it deliberately hard to directly link to a specific page. And that was the convenience that the RHG archive allowed.

Not so, just post a link to the appropriate image. To pick a random page as an example: http://static.bleachexile.com/manga/ranma/001/Rm01-012.jpg

My mistake I guess I have a code load leak I was getting a right click blocker from another site making it so I couldn't right click on anything on any tab in that browser window.

When I first found that out when it happened, I found myself slightly teed off. I had that bookmarked for quick reference because it used thumbnails for the pages and all. XD

fwiw, mangafox also has the Ranma manga, and direct page links are somewhat easier.

The RHG is, sadly, no more.
