Ravager 43 June 17, 2012 Share June 17, 2012 (edited) So i just read that the sight was becoming a read only web sight, no comments, or pictures will be uploaded or approved. Atleast the cream of the crop images will be transferred to Derpibooru. Still sucks though, i used to go there to find a lot of good images, and to see a bunch of new ones =3 oh well, we still have EQD and many other sights that let us browse the pony arts =D What are your pony thoughts on the matter? edit* just noticed i miss spelled the title derp Edited June 17, 2012 by Ravager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

go away seb 367 June 17, 2012 Share June 17, 2012 (edited) I never really used Ponibooru, but mainly because the Norton Safety Minder blocks that and not bucking Cupcakes. Edited June 17, 2012 by Adam the Super Bronizoid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 891 June 17, 2012 Share June 17, 2012 I never really used the site, but it's still saddening to know that the site is going down. Also from what I read over at EqD, it seems that the site will be taken down in August. I'd like to thank the MLP Vector Club for the images used in my avatar. Known as "Princess Mi Amore Cadenza", "Trixie the Great", "Tom" and "Tomzoid the EggDroid". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jokuc 8,173 June 18, 2012 Share June 18, 2012 Quick, somebody torrent all the images and upload them to their own site! Funny thing is, this has already been done xDAll images are being moved to http://derpiboo.ru/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RippedOffMattress 314 June 18, 2012 Share June 18, 2012 Nothing of value was lost. The few times I've went there, the time it would take to load each and every page was absolutely horrendous. Not to mention it's reputation for being the residence of most awful bronies who drag our fandom down a sewer. (Though I shouldn't be surprised because it's a booru site after all.) R.I.P.

Appledees 2 June 18, 2012 Share June 18, 2012 (edited) More like slow-booru Never liked the place. Hated how it consisted mostly of really bad meme pics,vectors and screencaps. Rarely I saw anything good. That and slow as hell speed made it even worse. Besides 20%.net and Derpbooru are so much beter in every way oh and the people from ponibooru are really bad Edited June 18, 2012 by Appledees 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilshy 5,090 June 18, 2012 Share June 18, 2012 It will always hold a special place in my heart, because thats where I found my avatar. Or at least, the pic that I cropped to make my avatar. Signature now 99% less edgy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aphelion 253 June 18, 2012 Share June 18, 2012 I lurked there from time to time, I had somepony break the news to me through a text. I can't believe it's going down, I got alot of pictures from there. Looks like I'm lurking KYM full time for pony pictures now... 1 Special thanks to Midnightive for the sig~ I guess I just try too hard sometimes and in the end I'm the one who's left, still broken.

Captain Nemo 164 June 18, 2012 Share June 18, 2012 (edited) The conversations that would crop up in comment threads sometimes were pretty fun. I rather liked that place, though there were a few raids going on before it was shut down. I figured I would download only the highest-rated safe images. Load up the torrent, and... 22 gigs!? HA, NOPE. I don't even have that much free space on my hard drive. :/ Edited June 18, 2012 by Capt-Nemo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthous 44 June 18, 2012 Share June 18, 2012 (edited) To be honest... it was a great image source, but i couldn't stand the userbase, mainly due to the lack of moderators. It was a nest for drama, trolling, hate and pretty much everything i hate about any fandom. Also, excessive meta and inner jokes. The good thing about it were the filters: if you don't want to see meta or stupìd captions or R34, you could block it. At least there are Derpibooru and other pony IBs like Bronibooru.

Founder Twilight Sparkle ✨ 8,526 June 18, 2012 Founder Share June 18, 2012 Websites go up, and websites go down. I can't say I really hung around Ponibooru too much (I don't generally indulge in imageboards), but I ran an ad there for a little while and their traffic was quite impressive. Still unfortunate that it seemed to constantly be running beyond the limits of its hosting and was always dog-slow every time I did stop by. I did just want to say that Eco is being quite good about this by providing torrents of the site's content and continuing to leave it online for two months after announcing that he's done with it. This will effectively immortalize the content, even though only a portion of it will make it over to Derpibooru. 1 Avatar credit: robinrain8 Signature credit: Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JhonHipster 124 July 7, 2012 Share July 7, 2012 Never used So don't care much but is sad one more resource for ponys is going away. I only really use ponytime on FJ and even then not that much. lets hope this works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comet Tail 808 July 7, 2012 Share July 7, 2012 Like some others have said, they were something of the dredges of the fandom. I just hope we don't get a flux of emmigrants here to pull this site down a moral black hole. Stand strong, bronies! Never give in to hate! Never give in to rule 34! Have strength, do not be consumed by the darkness! Anyways, I am really concerned about WHY it's going down. Does it have to do with the fact that it's related to MLP:FiM? Why? 1 I'm a student Royal Astrophysicist that loves kindness, rationality, curiosity, open-mindedness and deep intellectual discussions!
