Hello,
The irc network is criten.net and the channel is #asianscans. Currently I'm
the only user on there.
There are some other channels but most users are in #scanworld (mostly
western)
I understand you don't wanna put too much time in something that is dying
out and you don't use yourself. You did post some CSV, so I will start to
build collection based CSV's from your date-CSV's. And Karolus last CSV's.
Can you maybe provide a list of the links you use?
If Fob is posted on the rara.jp site I can use my vpn connection options.
They are included in my giganews subscription. I succesfully connected to
the site a few days ago.
I hope Karolus is still around to maybe fill us in with some information of
links and other information?
To share something of the wonderful pictures I have I also started a profile
on google+ https://plus.google.com/+RinneAsianscans/. I daily post non-nude
pictures of various collections.
