I just learned the whole story behind this, kind of tragic tbh, but hey, ponibooru may be dead, but derpibooru is here to stay!

me too, and I agree with you 😊

@The Luna Fan
yes!😁👍🏅

I'm here from the future, and yeah, the end wasn't in fact the end! ponies for life!

Still my favorite badge of all time. Even if I wasn't on Derpibooru way back then. 😊🏅

@Communist Starlight

You're welcome.

@BarryFromMars
Thanks.

@Communist Starlight

Yes. Link. However, it has almost 6100 pages of images whereas Derpi has over 95000 and Bronibooru rarely gets comments. The forum is also not really Bronibooru's, either; it's The Round Stable.

EDIT: Bronibooru is 100% SFW.

@BarryFromMars
Does bronibooru still exist?

@Communist Starlight

Ponibooru didn't last very long but it was the site Bronies tended to go to. There's also Bronibooru, I think but I barely ever went there.

@GenericArchangel
Thank you.

@Communist Starlight
Ponibooru is, as I understand it, the predecessor to this site. Due to various issues, it shut down, and Derpibooru took its place.

Because I'm an ignoramoose…
What was Ponibooru?

@Selaphiel

That they did…

7 years flew by…

"Congratulations!"

@Lord Seraph
I don't thinking have any way of proving it aha but its fine, just remembering is good enough for me ^^

@Faulty Felix
If you could provide a proof of your existence or presence on PB. I think you can convince mods to give you a badge if you want.

But yeah. I share the same sentiment. It was fun. A few images became the centers of the community. There were no forums and such.

@Lord Seraph
it certainly was an interesting site to get around, but even with all its flaws and the somewhat toxic comment section I still have a nostalgic spot for it, I remember it being one of the first pony websites I found after joining the fandom and man was it a mess haha

if only I had set up a derpi account after it shut down to get that badge, I had no idea it existed until I saw it on your account aha

@KentuckyFriedScootaloo
The images weren't imported either. The Ponibooru expats and Derpi users here had to pick and reupload many of the images from there when we moved. And trying to work with a website that literally only worked for 10% of the time wasn't exactly fun.

From what I remembered. The site was scheduled to officially shut down on September of 2012. But the site had issues that caused it to be inaccessible since June of that year.

@Lord Seraph

Why weren't Ponibooru's comments imported here after it died?

@Lord Seraph
Sounds… Quite interesting. Wish I could have seen such a thing.

@Faulty Felix
Damn…
It was truly a wild place. Had fun there. But the site's functionality could have been better. However, even that was ironically part of the experience right until the end. Ponibooru's frequently breakdowns became a meme at one point. Post shit, any shit and see what got through. LOL
It was a total anarchy.

Well i missed the 6th year memorial of ponibooru's end by a few days while trying to get this set up but here is the restored ponibooru address that links right to this page, up and live for the rest of time (or as long as derpi lives)
http://Poniboo.ru

a few days ago i came across an old bookmark that used to lead to the last ever pic uploaded (this) back before it shut down (http://www.ponibooru.org/post/view/199690), the last time i remember using the link it still worked, wow have the years flown by in this fandom, i got such a massive amount of feels i just had to get the domain set up to link here for some old poni feels
just thought id share here <3
