Chapter 159 posted by Skynorth on 20 Jul 2007
Here's chapter 159 of the Air Gear manga, like promised. Also, we are $10 away from getting the vBulletin forum! This is awesome! Thank you all for caring!
P.S. - once we do get the new forum, there will be many special features, like: groups, donor premiums (maybe), games and much more. So, you should be all looking towards it!
Edit: some people may be confused by this, the name of the Greek God "Apollo" can be spelled like that or like this - "Apollon". I have been taught that it can spelled both ways, so I did not change it to "Apollo". Also, in other languages, the name "Apollon" is more popular. Thank you to Matthew M. for pointing out the problem that this might cause slight confusion among the fans.

To Show My Appreciation! posted by Skynorth on 17 Jul 2007
To show you our appreciation for supporting us, we bring you chapter 158 of the Air Gear manga!
To remind some of the critics, we are a new group. And our releases are getting better with each chapter, so the top-notch quality should be achieved in a short while and it will be kept that way from that point on. Thanks for donating guys! You guys rock!
Edit: I'm so sorry guys, forgot to put up a download link. It's fixed now!

So, New Feature... posted by Skynorth on 16 Jul 2007
While working on a 2500+ lines of code for a custom shopping card for a business, studying for college entrance exams, and with all the time of me & Thundelord spending on this site, we still managed to pull out 5 chapters in 3 days - I hope we showed you our dedication.
The hosting fees are not that expansive, so I do not mind paying them. But I want to better your and my (and Thunderlord's) experience to the site by purchasing more advanced hosting that will increase the surfing & the download speed dramatically. I also want to purchase a vBulletin board to unite the community by installing several modifications and holding contests. But, I need help. I do not have enough money to purchase all that.
Thus, I installed a PayPal donate button in the left menu. I ask you to help in any way possible, let is be $1 or $5. Anything helps.
I will show the exact and truthful amount that was donated. If you want your name to appear on this list, please email me, by clicking here. Include your name, the email you used to donate, the amount you donated and when you donated, thank you! Thank you very much for the time and consideration!
Edit: Wow! A certain person just donated $20 to the cause. Thank you a million! That's what being a community is all about. We are 1/8 of the way there to getting a vBulletin forum! Just remember, when you are donating, you are helping everyone! Thanks a bunch guys.
I would name the person, but they did not send me their approval that I can. When they do, I would gladly include their name on the list and in this news post!

Like I Promised posted by Skynorth on 16 Jul 2007
Like I promised, 5 chapters in a matter of 3 days when I come back. Air Gear chapter 157, enjoy! Also, please thank Thunderlord for all of his hard work. And our motto, just for kicks: THINK YOU CAN STOP US? JUST TRY!
The issue with the spread pages has been fixed, I apologize for any inconvenience.

Chapter 156 posted by Skynorth on 15 Jul 2007
The second, small, installment of my promise - chapter 156, volume 18 of the Air Gear manga!
Notice, the reduced quality of our scanlations (volume 18) is due to the reduced quality of the raws, not our fault.

Gah, messed up! posted by Skynorth on 15 Jul 2007
I released our team's intro page into the three latest chapters and did not notice that it still stated that we have an mIRC channel.
I'm sorry for this error. Sora Scans does not have an mIRC channel! Also, Wingzy is not our cleaner anymore.

My eyes are hurting! posted by Skynorth on 15 Jul 2007
My eyes are hurting! My eyes are hurting! My eyes are hurting! My eyes are hurting! After staying up to 4:35AM, I have finally finished a first installment of the promised scanlation batch. I present to you, Air Gear Chapter 153-155. And guess what, volume 17 has been finished! Took me several hours, and after looking at the bright computer monitor for a very long time, my eyes started to hurt a lot, hence my news title and the first 4 sentences in this news post. Anyways, enjoy! Onto volume 18...later, now -> sleep.
I'm back! posted by Skynorth on 14 Jul 2007
I'm back! Prepare for a lot of releases over a very short amount of time!
Edit: I already finished a couple of chapters, gonna be released pretty soon.

Forum & Shoutbox posted by Skynorth on 09 Jul 2007
The forum will be back on the 14th of July and the shoutbox will not be back. I will sort everything out on the 14th and I can not now because I do not have the time or the means. Thanks for understanding!
Not happy posted by Skynorth on 08 Jul 2007
Hello. To start off, I'm not very happy with the situation. If this crap continues, I'm taking off the shoutbox. I just have this to say: if this doesn't stop, I'm banning people immediately and indefinitely. So, stop it!
As you see, I've managed to get a hold of internet temporarily. I'll be coming back in a couple of days. So please, hold on. To all the loyal fans: thank you.
Edit: I have just seen what is going on with the forum. I'm taking it down. You guys have really done it this time. I'll be banning everyone who posted inappropriate topics in the forum and reporting them. Have a good day!
Edit: I took down the shout box as well. So childish. And I want to thank Thunderlord for updating me with the current situation.
Edit: To those who do not realize it, the downloads are down as well due to the board being disabled.

Shout Box posted by Thunderlord on 03 Jul 2007
On behalf of Sora Scans I apologize for all the commotion that has been going on at the shout box. Please take note it's some guy trying to impersonate others and is in no way or maybe not related to that username. All the readers have the free will to choose which ever groups chapter releases they would like to read. We will continue with our chapters once Aeon is back.
I'm going away! posted by Skynorth on 30 Jun 2007
Hi! Like most of you know, I'm going away for 2 weeks. Meanwhile, there would be no releases until July 14th - 17th when there would be a big release consisting of several chapters! So be ready for that! Anyways, I'm sorry that I have to do it, but I have to do it. =D
While I'm away, Thunderlord will be in charge of everything! So mkay, cya all of you guys later.

Sora Scans IRC Channel posted by Skynorth on 28 Jun 2007
#sorascans @ irc.irchighway.net is not the official channel of Sora Scans!
Edit: like some users suggested, I added a few adds - only on the download page though. I added them to better your experience to Sora Scans, so thank you for helping out!
Edit: this mIRC issue seems to be resolved, but please keep the watch out for these impersonators!

IRC Channel Closed posted by Skynorth on 27 Jun 2007
I'm tired of the crap going on there. I'm closing it down. If you see anyone at #sora @ irc.irchighway.net - they are in no way the representatives of Sora Scans, even if they are operators or admins.
Chapter 152 & Resignation! posted by Skynorth on 27 Jun 2007
Hi!
Chapter 152 has been released. Please thank Thunderlord for the fast and great translation.
Basically, Wingzy quit. This is a huge blow because of the timing. I'm going away for 2 weeks in a day or so and there is no one to do the cleaning or the type-setting. It is way to late to hire anyone. And to be honest I'm really pissed off right now & and it's very unfortunate how he sees Sora Scans as a group. But I want to thank Wingzy for all his work that he has done for us, he was a great help. I wish him the best. Unless I come up with something (5% chance) - no releases for 2 weeks...

Chapter 151 posted by Wingzy on 24 Jun 2007
This chapter was a lot of work, took several hours. Besides that, this chapter was funny, lets hope i didn't screw up on the humor part. This is also my first time typesetting so please bear with me.
Anyways, you can grab the latest chapter from our media section, and remember to join us on Mirc:
#sora @ irc.irchighway.net
And as this is my first time writing a newspost here, to everyone out there, Hi! :)
