Booru thread

Pixiv
I prefer Gelbooru because it doesn't restrict tag usage. Why do people dislike it so much?

>>16372214
ads

>>16372214
please tell me how Pixiv or Gelbooru (a much inferior choice to Danbooru) is a solution to OP's problem

>>16372214
I purposely upload my danbooru posts with no tags, then edit them all in a minute later so the gelbooru scraper doesn't pick them up.

>>16372219
adblock

>>16372214
Japanese websites want you to pay for basic shit.

Use danbooru if you want art and good tagging.
Use chan.sankaku for random porn browsing.

gelbooru is just an embarassing middle ground

>>16372450
Danbooru does too.

What does gelbooru even mean? Is it just something attached to the booru part od danbooru?

Where does danbooru get off charging 20bux for other people's smut when senor lowtax only asks for 10?

>>16372214
Pixiv and Booru sites are of completely different formats entirely. It's not really so extreme, but it's like Reddit vs. chan imageboard formats.

Last christmas i paid $40 for danbooru premium, while drunk
I like to think it was a christmas gift to them for having entertained me for nearly a decade

>>16372467
senor lowtax?

>>16372491
>nearly a decade
oh god anon don't make me feel old

Removing tags because of a user's feelings is the stupidest thing ever. Fuck gel

>>16372539
Lowtax of SomethingAwful

>>16372585
Can I make them remove the monstergirl tag because I don't like how people are tagging every new kemonomimi pic with it?

Sorry, I do have ublock, just mixed the two up in my mind

Someone simply needs to make an e621 clone: e621 is the best server software for a booru, but the content is wrong.

>>16372450
There are extensions for that

>>16372655

Gelbooru: For gross lewd.
Danbooru: For sauce and translated images.
Sankaku: Even more gross lewd.

And >not using noscript+ublock

I just use megabooru + tweetdeck + pixiv.

>>16372585
What are some examples of this?

traps are transphobic

>>16375040
I don't understand - Gelbooru still has 33,774 pics with the "trap" tag.

So you don't know how to use adblock.

>>16375089
>Banning toddIercon on gelbooru.
They didn't ban it, they just merged it with the loli and shota tag

I'm sore they got rid of "lolidom" though and you have to search for loli and femdom separately and get wrong results.

>>16375009
The oppai loli tag comes to mind. The official excuse is that it was "too confusing" although every other fucking site uses it just fine

>>16375138
of course not, because ublock origin already accomplishes that task with no problems.

Danbooru has translators.

>>16375628
It also has pools, and they're worth a shit unlike gel's.

>>16375068
You can change how many on page without it counting as a tag.

Really? I thought it just got changed to crossdresser so I've used that tag for however long, and didn't have an issue with it since it made sense. I don't understand why they'd change from one colloquial word to another(?) one.

>>16372145

Gelbooru has become jewish and stuffs annoying adds into your face. They want 3x the amount of money newgrounds wants for running their website. Newgrounds hosts videogames and movies and has 10x the userbase and only wants $4000 a month, gelbooru(jewbooru) wants $15,000 a month even though the site is way less bandwidth intensive.

>>16380111
What kind of ads? I don't ever see them.

Although nhentai has recently been popping up DMM ads that I'm not fully sure how to block yet, which is sad because I like their layout and reader.

I use Pixiv because it's objectively better in every possible way than the boorus which scrape it.

Are the tags worse? Sure. Sometimes you'll find a picture for a fetish hidden away under just a series tag, instead of any of the common search terms.

But everything else is miles better. Want to read a set from an artist, in the right fucking order? You can just use the arrow keys. Want to read the title of the piece, or the fucking description? Can't do that on a booru. EOPs might ask "Why?", but not only does the description often contain the "story" for the work, you can find the odd downloadable extra, there's an うごイラ guy I like who often uploads simplified previews to Pixiv, then has a 20 second movie with sound you can download in the description.

The only reader site I use is ex, because it has a nice browsing interface and is 90% pirated material. Boorus are all easily accessible stuff, but in "one place" as if that's convenient. I only follow 30 or 40 artists regularly, and the majority of them put everything on Pixiv. A few use Twitter too, and a couple have their own blogs. It's not hard to keep track.

>>16380867
Images don't disappear from danbooru when the artist suffers an autism attack, it's easier to navigate through multi-set series on danbooru, danbooru often comes with translations given that you've already acknowledged that you're talking to many EOPs, and danbooru aggregates from multiple sources, which actually used to matter before everything went onto Twitter or Pixiv.

>>16378709
Crossdressing tag is still around. Makes the tomgirl tag somewhat redundant

>>16381952
>>Images don't disappear from danbooru when the artist suffers an autism attack
Sure, I'll give you that, it would work alright as a backup. If they actually bothered spending the 2 cents on bandwidth it'd cost to scrape the names and descriptions.

>it's easier to navigate through multi-set series on danbooru
Maybe if you're using some third-party extension. While it does have shortcuts at least, you've got all that space wasted on every single page with the menu at the top, and pages don't even pre-load, even Pixiv loads the next page in advance for you by default.

>danbooru often comes with translations given that you've already acknowledged that you're talking to many EOPs
There's no quality control, you could be reading total garbage. And you've got to mouse over every little box, it's not a very comfortable way to read.

>danbooru aggregates from multiple sources, which actually used to matter before everything went onto Twitter or Pixiv.
So it's a relic of a bygone era.

Really, the only reason anyone uses boorus is because they lay things out in easy to understand EOP terms, and it's not like you guys have a choice unless you know how to copy and paste from Google. Even with that said, loading up 50 images from a booru is less titillating than a couple of doujins off the panda, I can't picture anyone using them as anything more than an occasional distraction.

>>16381989
>maybe if you're using some third-party extension.
Users pool them and keep them updated, for the long series that aren't just one picture set.

Actually, how do you scroll through a set of big pictures, given that up and down switch between images? Page up and page down?

>>16381989
I have rating:explicit on my filter list.

Do people really just use Danbooru for porn?

>>16382009
By default, Pixiv just sets the image to your vertical resolution, no scrolling required for sets. If it happens to be a one-off, or a weird shape, you can just click the little expand button to see the original resolution.

>>16382016
I assume so, why would you use it for anything else? The odd poster scan maybe, but I don't give much of a shit about SFW art.

I prefer a booru because I fucking hate japanese web design.

Why would I ever use Danbooru over Gelbooru?
As far as I can tell Danbooru uploads faaaar less than Gelbooru (Even disregarding the occasional gelbooru duplicate), has a bunch of restrictions you have to pay to get rid of, and as far as I can tell doesn't really offer much more other than pools.

Meanwhile people seem to hate Gelbooru just because they don't know that adblockers exist.

Danbooru is all well and good but some of the pools are weird and of questionable utility, just adding clunk to the site's backend.

While that's easy to ignore, it's hard to get past the two-tag limitation. I occasionally search for triple tags and it's been enough of an issue that I've switched to using Gelbooru primarily. If that means getting the one WatchMyGirlfriend dot com ad every fap session, it's a very light price to be paying to be able to use more tags.

Danbooru users shit on Gelbooru and it's really retarded when they do. Child posts are an improvement, but they don't warrant this extreme point-blank elitism that comes up every time the this discussion comes up. I use both sites and both are perfectly fine, grow up and deal with it.

>>16382622
I agree with you, and I hold a similar opinion. I believe that none of the three sites (danbooru, gelbooru, pixiv) are 'superior' to each other. Because guess what, we don't live in a perfect world where everyone can have everything they want. Compromises have to be made, sometimes for understandable reasons, though it's mostly just stupid bullshit instead.
If anything, I would advise one to use a bit of all three sites, to varying degrees. That's my stance on the unending argument that seems to be the subject of this thread, anyway.

>>16373477
This is true.
They still have retarded tag wars though.

Get BBB you nerds and you will find out just how great danbooru is now that you have complete access to the entire database

The only reason to use gelbooru is when performing searches due to no tag limitations , or if you're looking for stuff by western artists or maybe lewds.

I know for a fact that there's bots ferrying stuff from between both boorus so they're pretty much the same, though BBB danbooru's higher post count gives it an unparalleled advantage

Every once in a while I see someone somewhere link to sankaku and I am reminded that somehow there are people out there who actually prefer it. I don't understand these people, and I'm actually not even sure at this point that I can call them people.

>>16375089
How long did they replace futanari with dickgirl for?

>>16383093
BBB?

Also, gelbooru in general just has more content than Danbooru. Even if whatever BBB is gives Danbooru more content, I doubt it can make up for the great disparity between the two, Danbooru doesn't even have a quarter of the amount of posts Gelbooru does.

That said, Danbooru is useful if you want to see translated work.

>>16383351

I don't think they replaced it. If you search futanari you still get everything with futanari because it's still a tag, but when denoting who is catching it'll say dickgirl on male, male on dickgirl, etc.

Maybe people were bitching about futa with balls or no vagina not really being futa or something. It's stupid but it doesn't affect my browsing.

>>16383093
thanks for the tip anon

>>16375617
It doesn't matter how confusing you think it is or isn't, using an oxymoron as a tag is retarded.

>>16380228
>What kind of ads? I don't ever see them.

You must have not used it for a particular stretch of time. For a while they would run webm ads under each picture. I have an adblock rule from 2016-08-04 for "gelbooru.com/b.webm", as well as some other stuff. I don't know if they're there now (and they've given up changing the classes) or if they've stopped - I stopped using Gel entirely once they pulled that.

They also had some stunt where they put most of the site navigation elements into the same class as ads so that adblockers would hide all site navigation (and beneath them they put a smarmy "support the site!" message, of course). They rolled that one back rather quickly, or else adblockers updated their stuff.

>>16383388
>Also, gelbooru in general just has more content than Danbooru.
Yes i'm so excited for all this EXTRA CONTENT that gelbooru has due to zero quality control (Unless and admin decides they doesn't like loli anymore!)

>>16383504
I never run into shitty content using gelbooru for my fetish preferences. Yet they have a fuckton more than Danbooru. Hell, the fact that you need to use BBB to see content that the Danbooru mods just dont like shows why it's a shitty website.

This:
>>16383522

Having more images in an image database is never a bad thing if the images are properly tagged. You can just use search terms to hide the tags you don't like and then, happy browsing. Having to download browser extensions just to see the full gamut of content a booru should have on by default is just plain weird and unnecessary.

>>16382776
Yeah, I use pixiv every once in a while too. I'd honestly use it more if it wasn't for having to scroll down an album to load the images, which is super annoying. Nijie does this much better than pixiv and I'm glad it's garnering some support.

I'd still encourage people to use whatever the hell imageboards they want, even sankaku or e621. Sankaku has more decensored images and that nice "Users also looked at these images" thing which leads you into intense fap trains, and e621 is furry heaven if that's your thing, so do whatever your willy beckons you to. Gelbooru has JAV webms which is nice every once in a while, and ironically Danbooru feels like the more restricted one at the end of the spectrum.

>>16383417

Good argument.

>>16383049
who this cum dump?

>>16383093
>you have complete access to the entire database
But you're still restricted to searching for only two tags. That's the worst thing.
Danbooru also has this huge issue where their "quality control" is literally just an excuse for "images this little group of people like". Uploaded something that didn't cater to their tastes? Well too bad it's deleted now. I'd rather swim in a sea of well-tagged shit than in a sea of extremely selective polished turds.

>>16382564
Signal to noise.
Gelbooru has thousands of pictures that are absolute trash. Stuff even tumblr furry artists would be ashamed to upload somewhere.
Danbooru is also much more strict on tagging. Case in point:
>Danbooru tagme 39
>Gelbooru tagme 198837

Combined it means you spend forever digging through mountains of shit to find that one picture your dick demands.

>>16385990
The only fetish i'm really interested is the femdom tag, and that one rarely ever has just flat out terrible uploads on gelbooru and it has like 4.6x as much uploads as Danbooru's femdom tag.
I also don't know how the hell the Danbooru mods decide something is worth keeping. I've seen some pretty good stuff uploaded on there but not approved by the mods.

Just use sankaku.
>>16380111
Porn sites have more trouble getting advertisers (see 4chan).

My only real problem with Gelbooru is that it doesn't seem to have the tag suggestion box. That's a basic fucking feature that every other site has. What do they expect me to do, manually type out the full character names every time?

>>16386157
It is pretty annoying. I often type out the tags in danbooru, then copy paste them to gelbooru.

What do you guys think of nijie.info?

>>16386001
I don't know how often that happens but sometimes mods just don't vote in time so it just gets ignored and then deleted, I believe.

>>16383484
No I use it profusely. I just know how to remove stuff, and have been doing so even since back when they tried interstitial ads.

Complaining about Gelbooru ads is like complaining about Youtube ads.

>>16383615
>e621 is furry heaven
rule34.xxx seems more like that. I can actually search e621 and get non furry results. I wish Paheal wasn't such an assload of fuck so I could use that more.

>>16386904
Oh yeah, Gelbooru needs to make its regular expression search options as thorough as Danbooru's. That's the only thing Danbooru has over it.

>>16386157
>What do they expect me to do, manually type out the full character names every time?
No, they expect you to use the * character to search. Ex: rating:e* haku*mu -coo*) width:>=2000
