Thread 42525899

This is the alternative MLP fan site general thread. Discussion, development suggestions, and criticisms are all welcome here.

Can't Remember Edition

>Why alternate boorus?
The absolute state of Derpibooru has led to the development of various alternatives. Many altbooru staffmembers are present ITT, listening to comments and answering questions.
Note that this is NOT the Derpibooru drama general. Please keep posts about Derpibooru in the mlpg.co thread.

>Why alternate text sites?
Pastebin.com has been deleting pony pastes. FimFiction does not allow stories in the greentext format. FimFetch purges foalcon and other material deemed to be "unacceptable".

- PonePaste patches security issue which allowed anyone to view private paste titles, their authors, and tags (but not text contents)
- FimFetch escalates its ongoing purge of content deemed "unacceptable" (mainly foalcon) by hosting a list of accounts from all around the fandom (FimFiction, Dicksword, AO3, Derpibooru, etc.) claimed to be associated with said material leading Floorb to create foalfetch.net--for an overview, see https://ponepaste.org/9926
- TPA/Ponybooru server restoration completed, Hobune instance also updated
- Ponerpics image back-forward buttons broken (again)
- Brief Foalbooru server issues resolved
- Floorb bulk-imports missing images onto Twibooru, resulting in bloated image processing queue
- Total Spammer Death solution put in place on Twibooru
- Twibooru duplicate queue is reduced to two pairs of unmergable videos
- Ponerpics duplicate queue has several hundred reports awaiting an update to Derpi metadata handling
- Twibooru importer disrupted by Derpi API change; fix implemented and missed images retrieved (and again)
- SunBooru resumes development
- Twibooru begins importing from Manebooru, stray duplicates dealt with in a timely manner
- PonePaste UI improvements go live
- Pony.Tube future expansion under consideration
- Ponerpics disables anonymous tag editing

Our spammer is going to run rampant.

>>42525911
Time to blackhole "cbat" in tags and comments.

No ban message. Just shadowbanning.

>>42526274
Has it really become this drastic?

It's okay to be gay. Mandatory, even, if you're booru staff.

I thought they have a mandatory diaper fetish.

>>42528810
You're talking to a literal FTM tranny. They can get rid of the vagina, but they can never get rid of their awful personality.

>>42529862

When will temporary uploads be added on pone.rs?

>>42530178
You're just trying to throw anything at the wall to get it to stick, aren't you?
What next, calling them an anarchist? Non-binary? You're running out of buzzwords, Anon.

>>42531205
It's pretty obvious what you are, tranny. Your behavior is a dead giveaway, and your name isn't doing you any favors either.

>>42531215
As she'd put it- your aim is STILL shit.

Oh, you aren't going to try the other buzzwords?
Just 'kill yourself'? Man, you really went down the shitter, not even a few threads back you'd sperg out at anyone talking about him.

>>42531273

Newsflash, shithead. The entire board hates you.

>>42531286
The entire board doesn't even know my name.

Hey, who are you talking about? Can I join?

I want to huff boxy's musky gock and gag on it as she calls me a FAGGOT~

I wonder what Boxie thinks about deer fursuits. Deersuits? I want him to rape me while I'm wearing one.

I'm going to pretend this is an actual thread and not just a bunch of spam and state that ponytube is finally caught up with all registrations. So many years-old unverified emails, spam registrations, and tamersfags...

What's next? After Mare Fair, I mean.

Would be nice to be able to download the entire foalfetch db for archival

>>42534237

>>42534111
It runs on Rainbows.

>>42534111
Huh, this reminded me of the existence of the modding communities back in the early/mid 2000s. People built computers into everything and had the wildest computer cases. Nothing like the boring glass cases with RGB like today.

Maybe 3D print a large laying down pony and put a PC in it?

>>42535193
PC inside PC.

>>42535193
There was some Rarafag with a very aesthetically pleasing looking case. I always found the RGB LEDs incredibly tacky myself.

I'm too lazy to research this shitposter, is this just a soiteen or someone else?

>>42540424
It goes way deeper than you want to know. There's like a 20 page Google Doc on this person's history of spamming on the Web, and their spamming of pony boorus is only like 1 paragraph of it.

>>42540456
Are you sure that's not a bot(net) then? It sure as hell sounds like one.

>>42540487
Sounds more like a glowie operation to me.

>>42540487
>>42540529
Nah, it's real. This person's mostly harasses random small time artists and has been 8 or 9 years, first on deviantart then chasing them to tumblr and other sites she thinks they might be on, shitting them up in her wake. Her spam on the boorus isn't even 1% of all the crap up they do online the whole thing is more than a fulltime.
Here's a tiny, tiny taste of them, and a crumb to follow if you want https://sign.moveon.org/petitions/put-chloe-may-johnson-in-prison

>>42540836
How do you know the cbat spammer is that person? Where did you even make that connection?

>>42541048
It came to me in a dream.

>>42541048
It came to me in a dream.

>>42541048
Since Cbat originated on Reddit, it's not outside the realm of possibility that he would infest other websites as well.

>>42542266
Yes, but how does that give any indication it's THAT person specifically?

>>42542266
>Reddit
It's amazing how this site manages to be cancer in everything it does.

>>42542659
It's what you get with a post-rating system that encourages popular opinion through voting, compared to the anonymous system of 4chan that encourages equal discourse (and even some contrarianism).

>>42542707
>a post-rating system that encourages popular opinion through voting
And a terribly partisan moderation team.

>>42543300
I have no experience with it, but it's not like this place is that much better in that regard.

>>42543426
It's ten times worse on Reddit thanks to political correctness.

>>42542707
>he thinks 4chan is any different just because the points are measured in (You)s and "based" responses for good and insults and slurs for bad

>>42544037
Not even going to bother responding substantially to this dumb shit. If you can't see the difference between a system making your post less likely to see by burying it at the bottom of the page and the system used on this site you're obviously arguing in bad faith.

>>42544052
>b-bad faith argument!
Tranny talk.

>>42544115
>muh trannies
Go back to chudbooru.

>>42544115
Thanks for the confirmation.

Ponybooru's servers are in Texas, right?

>>42544052
>n-no it's not the same
This board alone has people called derpi raiders, rewatch trannies, and discord trannies in addition to the other downvote words the rest of the site uses every time someone holds an opinion that the reddit-like hivemind disagrees with.
>b-but what about these other things

The suffix you're looking for is fag. Using the other just feeds a forced meme.

>downvote words

>>42544447
Could be, does the question lead to something?

>>42540424
Wait, did the spammer hack the AtC account to post this?

>>42545146
-fag has a neutral, even affectionate connotation on here, my little offboarder. It is ill-suited for the pure hatred these enemies of pony inspire.

>>42546222
No, just remembered I saw a post some time ago saying tornados in that state knocked out the servers. Just a stray thought.

Is Ponybooru just dead forever?

>>42546481
Maybe. I haven't heard anything about that.

>>42546745
It's literally up right now, so I don't know what you're talking about.

>>42547235
It's not. I don't know what you're talking about.

>>42547272
Oh I see, the main page is giving a 500 error. I didn't notice because the direct links to images still work.

>>42547282
Okay, so the site kind of doesn't work, but it is still up in a way.

So, what did everyone think of StudioWhy's presentation at the clop panel? Any ideas how his Why cloud service could be implemented into some of these side projects?

>>42547235

There's literally no reason for pony boorus other that derpi twi and poner to exist, everything else is bloat.

>>42549978
That's why you have three. One is shit, the other one is broken and the last one works fine.

After speaking with a random selection of anons at GalaCon, it appears altboorus aren't very well recieved by some. Ignoring the irrelevance of >yurop, is there anything we can do to win over the congoing normalfaggot audience?

>>42552415
>Is there anything that can be done about retards with inertia
I mean, we can push them over the crest and get them downhill off a cliff i guess. But that doesn't really solve the problem.

>>42552415
>it appears altboorus aren't very well recieved by some.
Kek, what do they say? I want to hear how stupid their arguments are.

>>42553436
Complaints were mostly levied at the comment sections of Twi, and to a lesser extent, Poner, and my shoulder surfing revealed virtually everyone used Derpi. It really does bewilder me how the European mind considers no-no words to be worse than mare erasure (marerasure, if you will).

>>42553944
Typical leftards. There's no fix unless you want to just turn alts into Derpi.

>>42553973
Yeah, it's the best to ignore those complaints. There's no way to please them.

The comments section that is normally turned off? How typical, leftoids going out of their way to look for things that offend them.

No sense in trying to educate these fools, the boorus are better off without their involvement.

>>42555533
>the boorus are better off without their involvement
This.

Up.

It appears that ponebin ruins Zalgo text, as well as other characters. For instance, compare https://pastebin.com/c5uf0k0L with https://poneb.in/c5uf0k0L
Is there any archive that better preserves the original characters?

>>42556886
Must be a charset issue. Just did a quick test on Ponepaste and it seems to support special characters just fine, so you could use that.

>>42556886
By the way, Ponebin was delisted for a reason (specifically, blocking Russian IPs because of the owner's personal bias). Considering it doesn't adhere to the thread's core values - anonymity, privacy and freedom, it should not be relied on for anything.

>>42556999
I'm not trying to upload new greentext. I'm trying to find old greentexts, preserved in the most faithful way possible. Is there a better archive of these than ponebin?

>>42557038
Desuarchive

>>42556886
Check the source archives linked from the mainpage. If its fucked up there (high chance, because most files do not contain any charset declaration) it will be fucked up on ponebin too. Another known to wrong thing is the trimming of leading whitespace. I checked a few, and the source archives are all over the place. A few does not display correctly with any charset I tried. Then I gave up making an alternative, its a mess where you need to manually handle a fuckton of edgecases. Gave up after having like 500 lines of code trying to guess the encodings. I get one edge case right but cause half of the other files to break. Ponebin at least serves the mayority of files correctly. If the archive containing the latest snapshot of a paste was utf it works. Fuck non utf files using random encodings.
