…I just want there to be as many options as possible.

@Havoc  
If you have issues regarding the DNP, make are welcome to make a thread about it.

Now I checked, and yeah, isn’t the Twibooru I knew which has very few pics and looks abandoned.
 
It looks promising and fast, and to me it’s interesting a Philomena based one not focused on having a community.

@Тпсс_  
If you haven’t been there for awhile, maybe you should look again.
 
I kept checking on Twibooru myself and after days of no progress, I just assumed the project had stalled and it wasn’t going anywhere.
 
Then someone brought it up again a few days ago, I checked it again and it’s not only up and running, it’s exceeded Ponybooru in the number of images it’s archived.
 
I don’t know if this was the plan from the beginning, but it’s using the old Booru-on-Rails Derpi used before switching to Philomena and it’s looking to be a pure archive similar to what Rainbooru is doing, but in terms of usability it might have surpassed it.
 
We’ll see what happens to it from here, it’s not looking to have a community it just wants to be an archive.

@Raptorshy  
Same here. Not a fan of how this site handles DNP rn. But that can be dealt with later, after more pressing things.

@Purple Smart  
If it’s the same Twibooru I know, I don’t think can even compete to the other boorus by now.  
IMO the best options are this and ponerpics.

@Purple Smart
 
Ponerpics seems to be a half-step between Ponybooru and Twibooru. They aren’t full anon, so there’s still the possibility of a community. But there’s also no DNP policy I can find or content restrictions outside of the legal minimum.

@Purple Smart  

 
I can’t imagine wanting to go to a website with a worse artist-site relationship then even we have. It puts such a bad taste in my mouth I don’t even know where to begin.
 
@CurtainedWizard  
And with that I’m done.

For people who want to have a replacement that is as similar as possible to Derpibooru, Ponybooru will do just fine. For people who want a place where really anything goes, then Twibooru will probably be the best option.

@Raptorshy  
Well said.

I know this is a doom and gloom thread, but please try to stay civil at least.

@Anonymous #ECF3  
Oh for the love of…
 
Shut the hell up. Just… shut the hell up. Did you post the same shit on Ponerpics too? Because that’s another one that uses a similar layout to Derpi and I wouldn’t be surprised if you think that site’s gonna die too! Idiot…

@Anonymous #ECF3  
While I disagree that the site will die, I do think that the rules and DNP do need a fair bit of fixing up. IMO, after the mass uploading is finished, A site-wide discussion (as in a unique thread for every rule and one for the DNP) on these thing would be a good idea. Everyone is very on edge right now, the site is new and the staff have other issues to deal with, so giving everyone time to cool down would allow us all to more rationally think these things over.

The entire fandom is dying, and every site is going to go with it.

@Deserter  
This site is running on a VE allowed 6 of the 8 threads of the iron underneath. If it was living on it’s intended home, it would have access to 32.
 
Since it seems to be such a problem, I’ll start an rsync, and do some processing elsewhere where I have more CPU power.
 
 
@Anonymous #ECF3  
This site won’t die. Only thing slated to die is your mother in her sleep tonight if you don’t stop coming here to just shipost as anon on the forums.

But we need to be prepared if this website go the way of the derpy i recommend saving all of the art in you personal hard drive and computer and make you own personal archive dont trust other to do it for you

@Anonymous #5917  
I defo will, anywhere but Derpi. Ever since I did my shitty little comic for Marenheit I’ve been inspired to do a fair bit more…

Oh don’t be so dramatic OP.
 
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little nervous about this site and the other alt boorus long-term viability, but it’s early days yet and I’m very pleased to see a community popping up here.
 
I think the real test for Ponybooru will be whether or not regular users upload their art here once the site’s finished archiving.

Once all the old images are imported it will feel like home as more and more images will be uploaded here only.  
Mods being fags is a constant danger but it’s too soon to judge.  
As long as derpishits are denied any attention this site is worth existing.

@Raptorshy  

 
I agree with this.  
And that could have avoided all the drama way easily than now.

I don’t have to be a mod, you’re absolutely right. However, I’m good at handling this kind of stuff and I enjoy it. If I can make small differences from the inside I feel it’ll all be worth it. Both here and there. Even something as simple as really listening to someone can make a lot of difference.
 
@Anonymous #BFA0  
I don’t blame you. I haven’t done much to gain the trust of anyone in all this. I just showed up and took charge in the middle of drama like a wartime general to try to fan the flames with limited success and ended up on everyone’s radar because of it.
 
I do really try to be honest about my intentions though.
 
@DvneT  
Thank you, I appreciate it. :)

@Raptorshy  
I don’t think there’s too much back there that’s worth salvaging at this point, but I wish you luck.

@Raptorshy  
why? this seems remarkably disingenuous and ultimately pointless.

@Anonymous #F2FC  
In some part i dont trust raptorshy

Yep i agree but not this site is derpibooru who is dying that website is beyond repair
