What is sixmanga.me and why is it hosting all of our comics?!

[mintycanoodles]

yep, my whole damn comic's there too. ya'll update this thread if you find out anything. this is some bologna.

[Kayke]

Thank you for this! I sent them a complaint.

Hello,

We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. We are not affiliated with sixmanga in any way and are deeply troubled by what has transpired. We are working on solutions to prevent cases like this from happening in the future.

I submitted a complaint through the Cloudflare link posted in this thread and they already got back to me, saying they passed it along to the webhost for sixmanga. (https://www.cloudflare.com/abuse/form) I'm not sure it will do anything, but it probably doesn't hurt to send a complaint anyway.

yea saw mine in there as well and i'm srsly new here at tapastic...i joined a week ago and they already have the comic i just started yesterday lols

[TaisSS]

I hope Tapastic does something about this soon. My 3 webcomics are there.
It is sad but if it's not resolved in a few months I don't know if I will keep updating on Tapastic ;w;
I know the staff will try to prevent it from happening again in the future but I would like to know if Tapastic is going to do anything about the already uploaded pages or it's just on us to send the complain forms and wait...

I hope Tapastic does something about this soon.

I doubt Tapastic can do something about another site - but they can try to avoid this from happening again.

Please notify any creator who's work you find on the site, so they can put in a complaint. When this happened in the past, the websites were taken down after being flooded by our creator's messages.

What am I supposed to do now?

[echosrift]

Thank you! I know IP theft is common and there will always be shady businesses everywhere trying to steal from creators. But obviously it's in all our best interests if we can shut this kind of thing down, and it's nice to know the Tapastic Team is doing what they can!

[serverpanda]

I've been forced to submit a complaint as well. Hopefully it works. If not then at least we can all say we tried.

[respheal]

Um, going by the image you posted you may not have filled out the form? Try submitting the complaint form again.

[Down_the_Rabbithole]

I thought I filled it out completely, but I'll try again.

I got a response from cloudflare:

Confirming what Kabocha found, providing some other emails to bother.

[Potoh]

I also found my comic Amaranth on Sixmanga.me, and I also filed a complained.

SixManga.me also has a Twitter-account on which I asked them to stop stealing. Not that it would help there, but who knows.

[echosrift]

Triple confirmed. I got the same response. Hopefully it will add up.

[indagold]

Better not go on that site because the last time I got tricked into entering my name on a similar site it got my work stolen. I think it does that by recognizing your name or comic and posting it somehow. At least that's what I know about sites like that. Don't enter names, or use it. Find ways to report it outside of that.

[StevenDacasin]

I thought it was only the popular comics that got posted on this site so I looked up mine and low and behold It's here. Don't know if I should be flattered or eh.

[KrispyKremeBits]

Hopefully this gets resolved soon, but that also brings up the possibility that there may be other sites using are comics now too...

[apurviance]

I might have even considered submitting my comic had they asked, but they swiped all 260 pages. Sadly only 3 view. I'm still gonna take some screen shots just in case and submit a DCMA letter to the above emails. Thanks for spotting this.
