Jacob, (or a moderator that can anwser) sorry to call you out on this, but I've searched and couldn't find an answer to this question. Are you going to bring back the old manga? I know you can't for sure say all of it because probably some of the authors/ publishers have turned you away. In just trying do you have a plan or something in motion to bring back the manga legally aka licensed?
Disclaimer, This is just my Views as a guy who works in e-commerce and as a consumer. So, this is not the answer from Jacob or Fakku
"Are you going to bring back the old manga?"
Yes,
IF Fakku can actually get their License/permission from these authors/publishers.
One example for now is a Kill la Kill Doujin called Threadless by Doxy, this doujin stays because fakku has the consent of the author. https://www.fakku.net/doujinshi/threadless-english
In just trying do you have a plan or something in motion to bring back the manga legally aka licensed?
Currently everything is in transition, this serious decision of FAkku is to show to other publishers Japanese/western that Fakku is serious on bringing their works legitimately to the west. So, currently there are no plans that fakku can share publicly for now.
IMHO, Fakku is not selling out, as this was Jacob's
Goal from 2007.

Eventually I want to start translating the more popular manga titles, I want to talk with Japanese publishers and get them to ship us the actual manga and sell it on the site. There is so much that FAKKU still has in store!

I'm sorry if some of you feel "betrayed" but that's your own fault for taking FAKKU for granted. Fakku wasn't meant to be a site that keeps pirating, and you should have known that deep down in your head.
The Removal of the unlicensed content has been in discussion since June 2015, If you're still unaware of this and got mad at Fakku when you didn't export your favorites then the fault is entirely on yourself for messing up your priorities.
Also being a lurker doesn't mean anything as a support to Fakku, if you want to really support fakku either buy the subscriptions or at least engage in an actual discussion for future decisions, not cussing/knee jerk reacting to something you don't agree.
