2023 Derpibooru Community Collab

Oh lol :DDD
Okay, i hope Joey can do it =3=

I’m just curious, but how long has Derpibooru been doing this?

@PrincessAsparagus92
First one was 2017, done for a 5-year site anniversary.

So it’s been for 5-6 years?
Also Derpibooru’s been a thing for nearly a decade?

@14Fan
Yes, but even things like having badges didn’t exist for quite a while at the beginning.

I think April Fool’s was the first real ‘event that came with a badge’ - but I might be wrong about that.

It wasn’t until Joey took it on himself to set up and coordinate and then compose these massive annual collaborations that they became such a thing. They really are an incredible amount of work behind the scenes, from dev time to add the button to the system to making sure that the final image actually loads and works.

The whole thing is a little bit of a stress test, for individuals, software, processes, and hardware.

I would say it’s well worth it unless it flops

@Dragonpone
That’s one huge birthday party

@PrincessAsparagus92
Was there a cake? Is that cake a lie?

@The Really Very Wery LAST UNICORN For Real, Bro!
No the cake was real. Great, Great, Great, Great, Great Aunt Princess Celestia ate most of it

@PrincessAsparagus92
I thought glados had eaten it.

@The Really Very Wery LAST UNICORN For Real, Bro!
CelestiADOS

@Jb33124
More like ChellESTIA

Tiabeties

@Soobel
The cake isn’t a lie. She proves it

I don’t see enough mint in that cake…

@Zaknel
Also the cake is 100% gluten free

It’s ok, I think they made an extra cake for situations like this. They added more mint in the cake too

This isn’t really the thread for random goofiness…

@LightningBolt
Just to make this thread still alive.

@The Really Very Wery LAST UNICORN For Real, Bro!
It is alive, and will be EXTREMELY busy, just as soon as the image is released. There’s at least a half dozen people on staff watching this for every single post, just to make sure that we are helping anyone who needs help with a last minute fix for their image, or some other problem. And when the collab is released then this will most likely be where people ask for badges.

So … it’s not dead, and it’s not for chatting. It’s really for work or requests related to the collaboration.

I don’t want to say that this is a “No Fun” zone, but please keep it to a minimum so that we aren’t checking this multiple times a day just to find out it is people chatting.

@Ciaran
Oh ok. Don’t be angry. I would not to do that again

@The Really Very Wery LAST UNICORN For Real, Bro!
I am not angry, sorry if I came across that way. This is a massively fun event, so it’s natural that folks want to keep doing things here. But this thread is also a working space.

Trying to find a balance between the two is always a little tricky.

Another late entry for my friends

The artist i had doing the pic for them has not responded to mefor over a month now so got a friend to help group some images of the ocs together

Hope this is ok

Did the collab ever come out?
