Very kind of you!
Unfortunately, exhentai and multporn are off the table for me. Here's the minor drama that most people haven't heard:
For multporn, I asked their admin to take down my leaked content, but they wouldn't respond, so I contacted their web host which seemed to freak them out and get them to take action, and then they took it down while pretending they had simply missed my emails. As they simply steal from exhentai, a little later, they just uploaded it again and again would not respond to emails. They also deleted my account on their site and purged my comments, though that could just be because only the admin had the special contact with me, and their standard process is to ignore any complaints about them hosting stolen art. It's funny because I was totally open to doing some cooperative thing, but they are just there to make money from stolen content.
Now for exhentai, this will be a fun one. I'll try to fix anything is I mispeak right now going on memory, but this is how it went from what I remember (it's been a few years):
1) I had an exhentai account and noticed someone leaked TJGF #1 right after it was finished.
2) I used the DMCA form on the exhentai page, assuming that if it wasn't respected, that would be fine, but at least I'd done the bare minimum to try to protect the content others were paying for.
3) It looked like the comic was removed, but I had my suspicions, so I had someone else with an account check if they could see it, and they could, it just wasn't showing up for me. (And before some 4chan kid says "oh you need to learn how to login to sadpanda not just e-hentai", trust me, I've made enough exhentai accounts to figure out that process. (essentially cookies, waiting a week, and IP-dependent))
4) Since the admin effectively lied to me, and that appears to be the standard way that they trick artists into thinking they've taken their art down (if it was on e-hentai, they tend to just restrict it to exhentai in most cases), I found their webhost was WorldStream, so I contacted them with a DMCA there.
5) Exhentai did take the comic down, but they also removed my exhentai access from my primary account, most likely because the admin (Tenboro or something?) got mad.
6) Then exhentai had their downtime, then they moved their servers to Moldova.
7) I think that when it came back up, TJGF#1 was there again since they didn't have to deal with WorldStream and could sit under the more corrupt Moldova web host.
8) When TJGF#2 was leaked, I think I did the "Report" feature (might be the same as the DMCA one? Can't recall) to see if the admin had maybe changed his ways, but nope XD
9) I tried with different accounts in different locations and confirmed that individual comic gallery was actually IP-blocked, so it would show if you were in a different part of the world.
10) I went onto their forums to ask, and saw that their mods had instantly hidden my post so that only mods and admins could see it. They essentially tried to gaslight me about this, with the admin too scared to respond to any question except the most basic one to try to not answer but still be able to say he answered. It felt pretty cult-like over there, and that would make sense why no one wanted to oppose their admin publicly, but that makes me hold no respect for their admin.
I don't know any of the internal drama over there and what their private community does there; this was just what I gathered from the admin secretly fucking with me XD
Ultimately, I just wanted to be able to post my comic there and it turned into this whole thing haha. But it was a fun experience! Hopefully I didn't mess up too many of the details with this being.... 3-5 years ago? Give me a shout if anything doesn't seem to add up!

Thank you! I'll start compiling them this weekend to get a count. Since it may be a few hundred, I'll maybe just sort them and archive them, then throw it onto some temp file host and share here.
Really appreciate all the help here ♥
