After Volume 4 is deleted in December, the process will be reviewed by BT staff.</s><p>Due to this, some things will need to be modified:
*<s>The links to the volume's chapters will become plain text upon deletion of the volume; however, I hope to keep the illustrations</s>.
*Site will link to Yen-On's official A Certain Magical Index website when said site becomes available.
*The Navbar Template will need to be modified to reflect the deletion of the translated text, <s>while keeping the Illustrations links and chapter names</s>.
*<s>The Series Overview will now include the release dates for the English Novels, whenever that information is revealed.</s>DONE

Glad the translations for the new novels can go unimpeded for at least the next few years. Index is, after all, BT's flagship translation project.

i guess the best solution is for the whole bakatsuki to relocate to foreign web host, even though i dont exactly know how easy or feasible we have seen the fate of many project taken by many publisher other than yen press, like hidan no aria, kino no tabi that abandoned just after 1 or 2 volume after they think its "unprofitable" but they keep clinging to the corpse...maybe someone can enlighten about this matter...

So, guys. Whatever you're angry at, don't pull B-T into some mess. You're putting us between a hammer and hard place. I deleted some rather brazen comments and insinuations. If you want to propose something, go ahead. We'll explain what's feasible and what's not but stop horsing around. --[[User:Rock96|Rock96]] ([[User talk:Rock96|talk]]) 12:26, 23 April 2014 (CDT)

My previous comment was removed, rightfully perhaps, so here's a new one: guys, please consider a different legal jurisdiction. Paying heed to copyright laws is just pathetic.
