Welcome to Furbooru! It’s like Derpibooru, but for furry artwork!
 
This site is not officially open quite yet - there’s still a lot of setup and work to be done before it’s ready, but we hope to have the official opening in the next few weeks. In the mean time, this is like a “beta” version of the site. Everything’s currently usable, and you’re able to create an account, post content, comment, fave, etc. Just please be aware that over the next few weeks things will likely be changing a bit. Some things to keep in mind right now though:
 
Rules and tagging/rating guidelines are still a work in progress  
A very brief overview of the site’s rules is available here. They will be flushed out and expanded upon shortly.
 
Tagging guidelines are still being worked on as well. The most important tags, however, are ratings tags, and the site will not let you upload an image without one. The specific details of ratings guidelines can be found here
 
Tags can have spaces, and are separated by commas  
This one is pretty important for anyone who’s familiar with booru-style imageboards, but has not used Derpibooru. Unlike most booru-style websites, where tags are separated by spaces and words are separated by underscores, we use commas to separate tags. This also means that tag names can have spaces in them, so they’re more natural language.
 
For example, on other booru-style imageboards, you may type “solo_female looking_at_you fox”. On Furbooru, you would instead type “solo female, looking at you, fox”. This applies to both searching and tagging images. We’ve found that this is a lot easier and more user friendly, and makes tags look cleaner as well.
 
We’re very open to suggestions  
If you have thoughts or suggestions on what you’d like to see from the site, please share them!

Looking good so far. I much rather prefer the tagging style here, than alternatives.

Tried to register, I’ve put the password, turns out it’s been compromised in some site before. Tried to register again with a different one and it tells me that the e-mail has already been taken. What should I do?

I am interested what anonymous post avatars will be if not a randomly colored pony.  
Maybe something like this?

we were thinking of randomly-colored animals, with the following format: “<adjective> <noun> #<number>”, such as “Awesome Cat #1234”, or “Quick Fox #4321”, etc.

hehe, while that would have been funny, we think it’s best to stick with neutral adjectives that represent whoever is behind it in a positive light, without assuming their sexual orientation, gender, or trying to offend anyone in any way.

Why did you change the rating system on the images? It is really jarring coming from derpibooru to here and seeing full on nipples in a suggestive image.

They explained that this booru has a more mature audience in mind, but there’ll probably legacy filter in the future if that’s what you’re complaining about.

suggestive is spoilered by the default filter, and we believe that artistic nudity shouldn’t be considered porn. Go to your local art gallery, you’ll find a bunch of pictures with breasts in them, and that museum/gallery lets kids in.

I just don’t see the need to change it. The questionable tag basically covered what suggestive is now. Just because you have a more mature audience doesn’t mean that the rating of something changes. It would just mean they look at higher rated images.

I don’t consider artistic nudity porn either, but it’s still nudity and I wouldn’t consider it merely suggestive. The way I see it is suggestive it lewd safe images and explicit is lewd questionable images. By adding nudity to suggestive images you’re limiting a lot of the art that some people might want to see. Some people may be okay with saucy images, but that draw the line at nudity whether it’s artistic or not.

@Luna  
Is that going to be the default filter now? Because most people aren’t going to do a search like that.

Whatever you do, I just don’t think that anyone that comes to the site should have to see nudity, whether it’s explicit or not. Spoilering images as suggestive does nothing. A lot of artists have differing opinions on what is safe and what is suggestive. What one artist calls suggestive is a lot safer than what another artist calls safe. The difference between safe and suggestive is subjective. A suggestive situation doesn’t have to involve nudity, but you’re grouping those together. If you’re going to keep it that way can you at least put up a spoiler for nudity. Of course it probably wouldn’t matter unless you require artist to select either “nudity” or “not nudity” when uploading.
