I am for my part. JP has a torrent link for the Ponibooru archive as well as a link for the metadata, and I’ve been busy archiving certain tags for posterity.
Wtf? I Never knew that site existed in the first place because I wasn’t familiar with what the heck a “booru” was. This was the first and only booru site I’ve ever visited, but I’m familar with some of the things this artist drew during the show’s early years.
Just for fun, here’s image upload statistics from Ponibooru’s final days and the same numbers from Derpi plus some extra. You can see the start of our exodus. We tried to import as many images from Ponibooru to Derpi as possible, before PB went dark.
Wild eh? For me I vanished from the fandom for a few months after it’s closure, on account of being lost in the valley of the shadow of Mass Effect 3’s terrible ending. I eventually settled here though.
I don’t miss Ponibooru anymore. I wouldn’t mind having a proper searchable read-only archive of it, but only because of historical interest. It was the first. And the worst, especially near the end of its life, after moderation had disappeared.
Pretty much this, comments and all; if only to prevent the historical revisionism that happens in this fandom whenever past controversies and their impacts are discussed.
Man I really regret getting these other badges on my account profile.
I liked having only the End wasn’t the end badge.
I tired talking to some mods but no one ever removed it.
Is a mod able to add the name tag to the post? for future reference?

like to* find
Do you roughly remember when those were uploaded? I know there’s a ponibooru archive floating around and I’d like I find those in there.
Please consider documenting along with anyone else interested

If you really just want the one, I can remove the others for you.
