    I think the title is self-explanatory

    I believe that NU was there at least from 2015. That's probably around when I started using it. I think Tony made a thread explaining why and how the concept came up for NU, with the confusion back in the day with mangadex I belive? Idk... Simplest way would be to look up Tony's account and see the date of joining.

    So you are saying that I made an account just 2 years after creation? And I didn't even made it when I started using it.

    Makes no sense with mangadex given NU predates it by several years. But something something, no "updates" for novels.

    I remember it was a wild ride having to find and bookmark every individual page and checking them for stuff.


    e: huh, so my account shares the same join date as Tony. Which doesn't make too much sense since I'm still in triple digits, and I don't think I joined that early, maybe for NUF
    e2: yeah, my user profile reads july 22 2015 on NU, so maybe october 20 was NUF launch.

    I think that it was bakaupdates. Sorry about the mangadex gaffe... I haven't gone for manga for a while, so I don't remember them anymore.

    I know it's probably older than when I joined.

    I think NU might’ve launched before NUF .

    It was mangaupdates btw. Baka Updates was made for Anime, and I think it was discontinued before NU became a thing.

    Though well, mangaupdates can also be called Baka Updates Manga, since it has always been the sister site of Baka Updates... That outlived it~
