I had not heard of this weebo site before, but rest assured nothing was lost.
 
The site looks like shit, works like shit, and the whole "exclusive panda club" quirk is bypassed with a google search. I'd bet a nut they took a page out of 4chan's "woah, dark edgy hangout" vibe and went literal with it. "What if we made people download shit just to even use our site, that is only paid for by people visiting it through ads!?".

nhentai is superior. The inferior will die.

What a craphole. And people are actually sad this gatekeeping shithole site just went up in flames?
 
Apparently WE are responsible for sadpanda's demise because we targeted ATF (which we have a thread on) and exhentai (which I'm pretty sure we didn't?)? (Archive)

(I didn't revealed the spoilered pic there since it's just more screenshot of the ATF thread, because he seems to think that full page screenshot is not a thing)
And then his last tweet is this:

As if we didn't know that the Brits are pedo haven

To paraphrase Nietzsche:
"Hentai is dead, and we have killed it."
 
"Gatekeeping"? "Exclusive"? Some of you speak from ignorance and it shows. The barrier was weak so anyone with half a brain could access it. Why was it there to begin with? Lawmakers and legal folk suck at this, apparently, so they can't make cursory snoops for stuff that was expunged off EHentai. Which is why Ex was barely moderated. That was the point.

You guys should know better, I swear.

EDIT: Hilariously, Nhentai ripped most it's stuff off Ex and E. So it'll soon follow with stagnancy while also archiving none of the important non-H stuff.

Some clarification and analysis.

The reason people call exhentai "sad panda" is because a jpg of a sad panda was the only thing someone would see on it unless accessing the site via an e-hentai account (or using a browser extension to bypass it, but I'll get to that). Contrary to the arguments of several, it wasn't necessarily easy to access the site; people flat-out could not access it if your region settings were fucked or you were using the wrong browser, and people knew this for some time. Exhentai had the same content E-Hentai did, only it would keep backup copies of some shit that otherwise got taken down, as well as loli/shota content (we're getting to this).

The only reason the loss of this website is a travesty is the sheer volume of works collected that anyone could have accessed, ranging from non-H content to stuff by new and budding artists, including stuff that otherwise would never have made it out of its home region. That's on top of all the deviant porn you otherwise would expect on a website like this. However, you absolutely should not feel bad for the loss of exhentai beyond the loss of the archived content.

Much like Gab's initial crackdowns, this wasn't something they didn't see coming. Asshats on 4chan were warning about this since 2007, at least, specifically because of a propensity of certain artists to DMCA any of their work that wound up on other sites, and E-Hentai was no exception to this. With the increasingly bitter political climate, any sane site owner would have migrated Exhentai and E-hentai away from the EU fucking ages ago based on how insane they've gotten about any porn, let alone the drawn kind. In this regard, they really only have themselves, and more importantly, their brainlet of a site owner to blame for this shit, but let's dig a bit deeper, I'm going somewhere with this.

In [CURRENT YEAR], we already know the EU is trying to ban porn, with the UK simply being the most cucked example. Loss of collected works on this scale is rarely a good thing, and as a great man once said, those clamoring for censorship will never stop at just tits. We are going to have to be ready as a whole for the inevitable attempted government overreach, and fight it when it happens. That sucks.

What is fucking hilarious, however, is that this crackdown, if all reports are to be believed, specifically happened because of the Loli/Shota content overrunning the site - content that specifically began to do so due to groups like ATF and various similar closet pedo groups. Whether you are for or against said content being allowed to have its place or not, let us not lose sight of the fact that this basically means loli/shotafags killed one of the largest depositories of drawn smut on the internet. Groups like ATF have just painted a gigantic bulls-eye on themselves as an enemy of the weebs from here on out, and that would be why they are fucking desperately to pass the buck and somehow make this the Farms' fault. Hilariously, this means people are coming to the site and realizing that the declaration that ATF may as well be digital NAMBLA are, if anything, understated.

Farewell, exhentai. Know that in your final moments, you unintentionally served the Farms.

You can't really blame people for getting their shit busted up after they made an effort, more effort than most, to keep it under wraps. Site owners are rapidly running out of havens for questionably legal content.

This is what gets me the most of this event, as I've saved most artbooks available on the site before the big bullet. While I understand and share the distaste for loli/shotafags, at the end of the day this is still government enforced censorship and cannot be tolerated. Were there actual 🍕, I'd be perfectly on board with dropping the Fat Man on the site, but ultimately what was shut down was squiggles on digital paper and in desperation to find a scapegoat to divert attention from real problems, politicians will continue to push for more censorship. Something something "but then there was no one left to speak for me." Apathy to this is both the stupid and selfish reaction.

Also I never knew what ATF was until now. Eugh.

The funny thing is I can get behind ATF dying, but NOT sadpanda, but for one simple reason.

Sadpanda worked their ass off to AVOID touching shit ATF is chill with. Sadpanda did host a LOT of gross drawn loli/shota garbage, but that's all. They were also not about letting their freak flag fly half as much as ATF and had a lot of non hentai stuff that is actually pretty rare and hard to find anywhere else.

All The Fallen, on the other hand, those assholes hosted REAL child porn, and unlike Sadpanda, shit bricks at the idea any normal person might go there without intending to, because they KNEW (and still know) they had something to hide.

One hosted a lot of vile shit but stayed within the bounds of what most would consider vile but narrowly legal and had a lot of redeemable non-vile content. The other is just a hugbox for pedophiles as it's main goal.

nhentai stole content from sad panda all the fucking time

what an absolute load of trash. Exhentai as an offshoot of ehentai literally exists because the owner didn't want to delete loli/shota content. It is the entire fucking point of the site. It wasn't some foreign "closet pedo groups" uploading and consuming it, it was the lifeblood of the site. You are a retard.

Yes, nhentai, the site that exclusively scrapes the downres'd H manga content (so not even the full size, and nothing but H manga - no artist sets, no CG sets, no artbooks) from e(x)hentai is the superior site. The panda wasn't done for fun, it's a basic filter to keep moralfagging normies off their asses for hosting problematic content. You are all so fucking embarrassing.
(I'm not dumping on nhentai, it's good that it exists, not only now but for the fact that it hosted content that was purged/hidden even on sadpanda because of Japanese publishers like Wani threatening the site)

We've discussed that first point to death, everyone knows that allowing that content leads to the fucking pedo crowd uncloaking. My point was that the userbase is losing E-Hentai - I.E. the one without such content - because of the fucking aforementioned pedos. You know, the bulk of the fucking userbase. The way I described it was how several I talked to described it.

Admittedly I could have worded it better, and I apologize for that much.

If the owner really did do it specifically to keep up said content, then fair enough - he's just as much to blame as the pedos are. Which again, is a point I made earlier that no one should feel bad for exhentai eating a fucking bullet beyond the obvious.
 
> one of the biggest hentai websites gone in a span of hours
> some stupid shit you posted on a forum more than a decade ago probably still exists out there somewhere

We live in a society

So there's zero reason to feel bad about this.

@Akemi how does this make you feel?

It's back online again. Apparently the owner managed to secure funding and relocate the servers to Moldova.
