What is the worst movie you’ve ever seen?

@TheGamerPainter
Mai kitchen. I go in there, bribe the refrigerator daemon for a pound or two of the old bloody, chop up some onions and get ‘em in there, then while that’s on the fire I slice open an old carton of spoilt milk and roll out the creamy contents with a spare tire and let it sit for a bit tah air out the stink a bit. Then whilst that’s underway I grab some buns from me mum’s keepah and slice ’em up nice an thin.

When the burger’s nice and done throw the sliced bun intah the pan tah soak up the grease and getta nice crisp on, a little assembly, and bang yer done.

Serve with a fresh lager and it’s a gud ’un.

An don’t ferget tah feed the dragon under tha sink while yer in there.

@Toyminator900
History of the world, part one. I mean, be fair, I laughed a couple times. But oh my bleeding eyes that was painful.

You?

It just drags on and on with scenes that never end

@Toyminator900
That does show up a lot as the punchline in jokes that start with “Could be worse. Could be…”

Ok so who is your favorite non-pony?

@neutralgrey
Spike is the best MLP character

Is the tag “Solo OC” forbidden? For some reason it cancelled my uploading and my whole progress because that was a forbidden tag.

Ever seen the asdfmovies?

@FliegerFaustToP47
It doesn’t have any special comments on the tag page so it’s probably not supposed to be an especially forbidden tag.

However there should be no need to use it. We have oc only which applies whenever an image has 1 or more oc and no canon characters. “Solo, oc only” or even “solo, oc” cover all possible use cases I can think of for what “solo oc” could be used for.

@saby
Then why not alias them?

@Zaknel
AFAIK a tag can only be aliased into one tag. I’ll ask around. In any case, the tag should not bug up uploads like this.

@saby
You’re right. A tag may have multiple implications, and one tag can be the destination of many other individual tags.

But aliasing is one-to-one.

There’s no way to alias “solo,oc only” into something else. You can only alias each individual tag into one and only one other tag. And the destination may not itself alias to something else.

So, if you have A -> B and X -> Y and you want to alias B -> Y you must remov aliases until you have A and B as standalone tags with no aliases. Then you rate the aliases A -> Y and B-> Y. Then you get A -> Y and B -> Y and X -> Y.

To do what is being described you’d need the functionality to create (A && B) -> Y.

It’s not impossible to create that functionality, but no one has. If anyone does, it might lead to some weird spaghetti.

@saby
solo oc is, in fact, a blacklisted tag.

Trying to use blacklisted tags will abort the upload.

@JP
Ah. Thank you - the tag at least exists so I’ll see if I can populate it with at least a description so it shows at least as a blacklisted tag up in simple searches.

There. solo oc. Now at least people can find out what’s happening by looking at the tag.

I’ll look into getting similar descriptions on the other blacklisted tags.

Thank you! You guys rock. I was wondering what was going on and if my computer was acting weird of I ran out of data. xP. Poor, poor tags that were all deleted because of the blacklisted tag, ripperoni, rest in spaghetti never forgetti.

Also… on a different note… I’m uploading several vector arts, but I’m not exactly sure if they’re from VectorVito (A DNP artist). It is fine if I ask you guys to check? Because I don’t know how to differentiate vector artists and attempting to use the Reverse search gives nothing, especially because where I downloaded it doesn’t have more data (Like, for instance: Moss_Moon.jpeg. One that I’m about to upload, it doesn’t say artist or anything)

And I really wouldn’t like to cause issues or be mean and break the rules, so plz, help would be appreciated >.<’

@FliegerFaustToP47
Thank you for your kind words :)

I’d suggest just tagging them as “artist needed” for now, and describe who you think they might be in a comment, asking anyone who knows to update the tag.

Which artist has been featured the most on this site?

@moonchosen
Off the top of my head, I know Noupu has been featured a bunch.

I tend to put much lower priority on voting for already featured artists. There are so many great artists deserving of features as is.

Do we have any Donutlestia fans here?

@TheGamerPainter
I’m not obsessed with pictures like those, but I’d enjoy seeing them.

Do any of you work on other sites?

@neutralgrey
Some of us work on Furbooru. For instance me.

How do you start a Booru? I feel like there are lots of things that are worth having Boorus for.

Out of curiosity:

When you merge two images, what happens to the likes, downvotes and faves? Do they multiply or do they just remain as whatever image ends up being the final one?

What’s the point of the ‘anonymous’ box next to the post button if posting post normally and anonymously is frowned down upon. Even if not used for bad reasons like creating, or picking sides in an argument?

When two separate users post the same image by mistake and they get merged. Does the upload counter still count the merged image on both accounts?

Why does the upload counter on our accounts still count deleted images?
