Why wont the MSN Group for One Piece not work?

For a while now I have been reading the OP manga off msn group's scanlation. I got up to the water 7 arc but now msn group suddenly stopped working. None of the versions are working for my computer. I can go to the website but when i click chapter "" random number"" i get like a blank page. When i press where the small picture is suppose to be i just get an enlarged white blank page.

It sorta works on internet explorer but basically itll take 20minutes to enlarge one picture and even then it might not work. Is it my computer is the website down?

Well…I dunno, but OnePieceMangav-3 most of it no longer is there, something happened that not even the owner knows that every page got broken except for the latest chapters.

I dunno the problem you having, sometimes groups is bitchy, just keep refreshing.

I've been having IE issues too, and I don't want to hear "Switch to firefox" or anything because I am soon.

It keeps closing. I only go there so I don't need to track down a download link to the whole file.

they are not "working" on scanlations, they're basically STEALING scans from other groups.

^ They aren't stealing, they are uploading. They aren't claiming scans to be theirs.

yeah if you consider making scans with translations explicitly forbidden to use for scans is not stealing. or if you consider putting null's translations out of irc not being stealing. in that case and only in that case, you're right.

iga, I think he meant "not working" as in, the page isn't loading. Not like they stopped working on producing actual scanlations D:

But yeah, I've seen on MSN group (not necesarily on OP) that someone asked them when the next chapter will be out, and the owner/caretaker replied "sometime soon" or something. It sounds like they're the one working on the actual scanlation process and it does irritate me when that happens :/

^ They aren't. Anyone would say sometime soon cause scanlations usually come out "sometime soon" after the RAW.

I can't believe how everyone is breathing down the MSN groups necks, not everyone wants to download a chapter. MSN groups is simply "another mirror".

I thankfully got to read a lot of the manga via the MSN groups so I am very thankful for them taking their time uploading them to there.
