[Locked] FAKKU State of the Union 2016

If you imply you'd need a subscription to read the books, the answer is no it's not the case, and it would be stupid anyway.

Looked into their terms and conditions earlier with the same idea, sadly these include a clear no to porn.

is there really no other way of paying subscriptions??
I don't have a credit card..
is there any possible way other than credit cards?

In relation to people posting that they will not subscribe or will "wait and see" if the site becomes more diverse in content, I don't think some of you guys get the big picture of what is trying to be accomplished.

It's one thing to feel that you cannot financially see this being something you wish to invest in. In this case to each their own, but when I see numerous comments stating that you find the content currently to be lacking, this is a bit disheartening as a fan of hentai to hear.

I have my own personal kinks I search the internet for, like a lot of you, but I'm also one that I love hentai for the sake of it being what it is. It's sexual, it's expressive, it's artistic, it's creative, and I could go on describing it for a while if you let me really have at it lol.

I know not everything is to my personal tastes, but that doesn't mean that I don't see the beauty in what is currently available. There are so many different artists released each day with such a variety of different stories, fetishes, art styles. For me it's a new experience with each work I read. Sometimes I don't always like the works, but then I find a couple of gems I can't get over.

Fakku is not encouraging you to subscribe just for the site to stay a float or because they want money; they want to see what it is us fans enjoy, what we don't enjoy, what do we want, what do we feel needs to change, what can we change? NaPaTa is a perfect example, a lot of us voted and practically begged to have their works released and now you see we have official English books that are just wonderful.

Basically what I am trying to get at here is if you want your monstergirls, futanari, femdom and whatever else you might be into that can be published, they want to make it happen. They're fans like we are, but they worked hard and with a little luck they got to a position where they can possibly make this happen. I know me subscribing and buying shit alone doesn't mean that this will work out, but I support it hoping it does happen because to me the money I make is worth it. I don't regret investing in this personally and quite frankly I've been surprised more then anything over how much I've enjoyed everything so far. Not saying I doubted, but there was some what if's in the back of my mind lol.

If you want to see this content and you are open to seeing what it is they have to offer, I'd say give the subscription a shot. If you don't like it you don't have to keep subscribed, but don't turn your nose away just because your personal kinks are not on here yet. I was really shocked to see mine were on here and usually I have a hard time finding them so yeah miracles do happen lol.

Edit: Some bonus info for you guys

When I uploaded on here for a bit (did it for less then a year or so) I noticed something. A lot of you had very mixed reactions to the uploads that would be chosen for the site. Some people would love one work, other's would hate another, there were some that bitched or started wars over something controversial making the comments section looking like youtube or 4chan.

But I know as an uploader I felt very biased in my uploads. Sometimes I would upload what I enjoyed, other times I uploaded what I thought all of you enjoyed (I really did try to consider all of fakku in my uploads, I do care for this community and still do), I'd even upload some for conversation pieces regardless if they were controversial or just odd (still remember the loli-gate incident, good times lol).

In the end I felt like there was no real way for any uploader to really listen to the voice of the people. With the subscription feature and the direction fakku is going with all of this, I've seen more feedback and communication between fans and Fakku then I saw in my time as an uploader. I think it's really awesome and I want to see it continue myself. So yeah it's sad the free is gone, but I think if this all works out it could be great.

Unfortunately i can't afford the subscription at the moment but maybe i will in the future. so long for now though, it was fun.

I'm Canadian and the conversion is nearly $20 for the subscription and I still paid it before this was posted. I pay more for video games per month. It cost me over $10 just to get something to eat and drink last night. Two meals per month (in cost) is hardly that expensive. My internet is over $150/mo. lol

Good stuff is never cheap.

Well this has been quite a good read.

I'm new here on Fakku, but not to hentai by far. When I discovered this site, sub was already up and running and I subscribed shortly after. I felt glad.

I've been reading this post mainly because it angered me. These people living in the land of the free wanting to have everything for free. I've quite pirating everything years ago so to me those one-post-wonder haters are an eyesore.
I only have sympathy for the people that are facing difficulty getting a subscription for whatever reason.

It is my genuine hope that Fakku really gets to be a clear signal to the mangaka across the globe that I greatly enjoy their work. It's been mentioned in this post that this is the case and I really hope for that to be true.

It's in the nature of things to evolve, so I'm here to support this fully, so that maybe the perception of companies in Japan changes, that we want to be customers. It's coming to be that we get a choice now where before there was none. I still read my favorites on other sites but hoping they'll show up here.

I don't understand everything about the workings behind the Wani deal, but it seems logical that after years of fan scanlations they'd want to cash on the fanbase they have abroad, now that they've (finally, lol) caught on to its existance. Evolution.

So anyway after reading some of this shameful tripe to be found here I guess I decided to go all out. I already own most of the books but I'll go for all of them when Pandemonium comes out. I work for a living but I'm in a position where I can buy otaku crap without too much worry.

I already own a few physical books from another publisher, too. They sell their books at an online shop called Archonia. <-- hint.
This is also where I bought my stack of anime DVDs that I'm not supposed own because licenses.

In closing: thanks Fakku, thanks Jacob and thanks to everyone else sticking around to support quality smut. <3

I've been coming to Fakku for about 6 years now [pun is (not) intended], and it's been my favourite hentai site for as long as I remember. I haven't made any posts before this one, but this time I believe I actually have something I want to tell you. I understand your decision and fully support it. Piracy does no good for the industry and is morally wrong.
However, it is clear that you didn't want many people to know that all the unlicensed content would be deleted and that is messed up. I've been visiting this site regularly and I was not aware of this scheduled removal. The announcement may have been on the front page for a certain amount of time, but obviously many people missed that (me included). You could have kept it there and made it more obvious. You knew that many people would be surprised by the change, despite the fact that you've announced it, but you still made no effort to spread the information better.
I understand why you may have wanted to keep it quiet: the announcement could create a lot of negative feedback and the site could be abandoned by many even before the removal. It is also possible that you didn't want people to download the pirated scans. My problem with your way of handling the transition is that I lost most of my favourites, which I've been "collecting" for years. I don't remember most of them, so chances are, they are lost forever. I'd even be prepared to buy some of them... Is there any chance that you could give us the names of our lost favourites? Even if we're not able to read them here...
