How realistic do you think it would be to add a Japanese version of the releases? If you want to know my silly reasons just tell me.By the way, would you be interested in some (free) help to translate them into Spanish?

I don't think we'll ever have the Japanese version available. If you are interested in Japan digital versions of the magazines, you can buy them off amazon.co.jp and some other Japanese sites.
I am actually thinking about releasing some of our books in Spanish, I'll write your name down and reach out when that is a little closer to becoming a reality.
Right now if your card is declined it will give that general error. We are currently working on some more descriptive error messages, probably be working by tomorrow.

(example, FAKKU Gold users get 50% off all books).wait holy shit what are you serious
In terms of ideas, though, it would be nice to be able to hide people's signatures-- some of 'em are really big and I don't wanna look at 'em. Also, being able to use the original reader instead of the new one would be nice. Don't get me wrong, I don't think the new one is bad-- I'd just like to be able to use the old one every now and again.
Also, I think someone mentioned having a "magazines" center in addition to a "books" center. I like that idea.
You can actually already hide signatures in your account settings (I keep them turned off for the same reason).

I've had a problem with the manga reader that Fakku uses for their subscription manga (specifically Pandemonium by Napata). The reader suddenly caused my Mac to lag severely (I was switching from fit width to fit height btw), and it didn't stop until I shut down chrome completely. Going to assume that its because theres a data leak somewhere that clogged up all my RAM. If you could fix this problem then thanksWe're working to get this fixed, thanks for making a topic about it. When you say "I was switching from fit width to fit height btw", can you elaborate with the steps that caused it to eventually crash? I think something there is what's causing the issue.

Will you start accepting any other credit cards than the current ones?There are no plans to add more credit cards at the moment. American Express has a strict no adult material policy. We are hoping to get PayPal added eventually.

Tried to subscribe, double checked credit card information several times but always getting the "there was an issue processing your payment" errorThis could mean a few different things, in this case it most likely means the payment was denied. We'll get an improved error message up tonight that says exactly what happened.
If you want to send me an email I can get some of your info and figure out what went wrong.

I just subscribed about half an hour ago, but it still won't let me access any of the new content. Any support would be much appreciated.Sometimes it can take a little extra time to finish processing, I think that was the case here. Your account is all set and ready to go!

I would love to throw my money at you, and take the subscription service for a test spin!However, I have been getting "We're letting the servers cool down for a bit! Subscriptions are not available at this time. Please try again in a few hours." for the last 9+ hours. Any idea when payment to faptopia will open up again?
It's back up now! There were honestly an insane amount of subscription signups yesterday, it surpassed all of my expectations. This first week or so we'll probably have periods when we prevent new signups so we can work on some things to keep everything stable.

I remember reading earlier this year that for every book you buy, you get a month subscription, and that you could just buy a book a month to keep your subscription going, and all books bought up until this point will give you a month each. Was this idea scrapped or am i missing something here?
We gave one free month of FAKKU Gold to all users who pre-ordered Renai Sample, but that was it.

Is there a chance that the subscription fee will make all content available on the site, including digital versions of previously published books? Perhaps in a non-downloadable fashion?It's possible, but not something we'd start thinking about until sometime next year.

Oh and a question uh uhm... what's your uh policy on uh... lunch?Everyone at the office gets an hour for lunch every day! And because we're in downtown Portland there are a ton of delicious food trucks nearby.

It was honor, to fap with you!On the other hand I wish Jacob and other guys/girls best of luck in developing this website! :]
Maybe one day, I will get some spare cash, and support Fakku!
You as well! I understand that this service isn't for everyone so no hard feelings, check back again in a few months and hopefully FAKKU will still be something you want to be a part of.

I have a question somewhat related to the first issue of publications. Will there be an effort to acquire previous chapters from a collection found in a magazine. Say if chapter 3 is presented but 1 and 2 are nowhere to be found on the site.I would like to know the answer to this as well. Especially for the recent School Love Net series which has only chapters 6-7.
This is something we are actively working on and it's going to take some time. The first step is showing the artists that they have fans overseas that are willing to pay to read their work, once we have that we can start discussions on getting all of the old chapters (like School Love Net).

I have a fairly good computer, have never ever experienced freezing or the cpu even being challenged, but when i try to read a subscription my computer shits its pants and nothing loads . Really disappointed right now.What browser are you using? We pushed some new reader code recently that is probably causing the issue.
Just saw your email, I'll get you fixed up ASAP
EDIT: Locking this thread, the issue has been resolved.

We do not store any credit card information on our servers (and we never will). It is all stored with the processor/bank that does the actual communication with the credit card companies. The most we'll ever do (which we don't currently), is give you an option to save your credit card information so you can use it on future purchases (similar to Steam). Even then we wouldn't store credit card information, we would save an identifier like "Jacob-CC-Visa", send that identifier to the bank along with your order, and they would look it up based on the identifier.sadmir wrote...
Also would like to addA receipt email would be great.
This will be added this week, possibly today/tomorrow.
I'd like this.
Receipt email now sends out once a subscription starts

This would actually be pretty easy to develop, having a configuration option to hide the banner on content showing whether it is from a FAKKU Book or part of the subscriptions. Would anyone like this?I want a feature to hide everything that isn't legal, and only show Fakku Books and Subscription.
Touché! We can probably make that happen too

Hopefully, this is the right place to ask, but is there a system in which I can hide content with certain tags? Like hide anything that is tagged "netorare" or anything that isn't an original work. I thought I saw it mentioned at one point.This is something we are working on now, once we make it through this first week of subscriptions I expect it to be finished and online fairly soon.

And with that I'm finally caught up with this thread! I'm going to sign off for the night but I will start answering questions again in the morning. If you are new to the thread I recommend going through and seeing if your question was already answered, to make it easier you can even go through my posts.
And I want to thank everyone for the support so far, a ton of users have already subscribed. We have already passed the goals we set for the first day. I love every single one of you.

I just accidentally subscribed three times, does this mean I get three months of the subscription? Is there a way to to refund two as I wish to try out how the releases go for the first month?Haha yes it will just add three months to your account, but do me a favor and send me an email so I can get you refunded for the extra time you paid for (you will keep the time). It shouldn't actually allow you to do that. My email is mailto:jacob@fakku.net
