Looks like there's about 155 characters submitted so far. Not bad for only a week!

@Ponyrail Official
As long as they're not someone who's been permabanned from the site

@CircusPaparazzi5678
Each OC is only allowed once. If you submitted two images, remove the tag from the one you don't want. Otherwise if you don't, I'll pick for you.

@Ponyrail Official
If the watermark is to the side, that's fine. The problem is when people have massive watermarks that cover a large portion of the image — it looks very out of place.

@Моцна п'яны
My Dawnsong has not only been in all five of them now, but she's been the first pony submitted to all five of them too ;)

@Lewdie_Lewd
Group pictures of multiple ponies is allowed, so long as they're all proportionally the same size and not spread out too far apart. Also you're limited to two OCs per person. So if you have five OCs, you can't submit all of them.

@Shimmering Spectacle
Probably not, no

@Count Adramélekh Sear
Winter

@Soulless Pinkamena
No

@Director's Cut

So what this is the last collaboration?

Probably not.

It may be the last one I'm assembling, as I've been considering retiring after this one, but even if I do someone else will just take over next year. These things will very likely keep happening for years to come.

@linyangqi
Here's what the form looks like. I guess you can just PM the answers to either @Princess Celestia or myself, and we can just submit the form on your behalf.

@Melisareb
Did you check with Arif to make sure it's ok to submit their OCs?

@Mango Island
Traditional art has been accepted in the past, so long as it's full colored

@Gangue
If it's visibly a 3d model it likely will not be accepted. If it's rendered in a way that looks more 2D, then it'd probably be fine

@icey wicey 1517
That means the anniversary event stopped late, not the collab started early ;)

We're halfway through November. This is only like two days earlier than it started last year…

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
You mean like a password manager? There's a ton of them available:

Keepass (open source, offline, free)
Bitwarden (open source, cloud synced, free or paid)
Lastpass (closed source, cloud synced, commercial)
Dashlane (closed source, cloud synced, commercial)

@rautamiekka
If they wanted it to be public, they'd either fave it or add it to a gallery

@icey wicey 1517
I've been alright, thanks for asking. Just generally rather busy in life and focusing on other things in my spare time.

@Mikey
Just because someone failed in the past, that means that everyone in the future will fail to? That's not a good way to look at things…

I believe there's three alternative sites in the works. Rainbooru is looking pretty promising. It's a bit rough, but it's still young and the guy working on it seems to be making great development progress.

I can't say I have the highest hopes for the other two though, simply because they're just reusing Derpibooru's own software, Philomena. While Philomena is a lot more stable now than it was when it first launched, it still requires some pretty regular maintenance. If you don't have someone deeply familiar with the software maintaining it, there's gonna be downtime, search results are eventually gonna get fucked, etc. Since Rainbooru's running their own software, their dev is going to be much more familiar with it, meaning they'll be much better suited to resolve any issues that come up, etc.

But if the people going that route are willing to put in the time learning the ins and outs of Philomena, reverse engineering it to figure out what does what and how everything works, and so on, they can be successful. Philomena is probably the best booru software available, it just has a heavy technical learning curve (especially since it's written in a comparatively obscure language)

Besides, what's the issue with competition? If Derpibooru doesn't want to host something and someone else is willing to host it, isn't that a win for everyone?

Mods nominate and vote on featured images. It's a "supply and availability" thing mostly — there's one image featured every three days, and during that time span there's about 2500 images uploaded.

All I can say is keep creating art — the quality of your art is definitely good enough to be considered for featured. It's just a matter of there being a lot of images/artists that deserve to get featured, and very few slots available. I think you could probably get there some day.

Providing your username may be helpful…

@Ardashir
Passwords are hashed using an extremely strong, computationally expensive one-way hashing algorithm. There's absolutely no way to determine what your password is. You can request a password reset on the login form. Just make sure your email address is correct — I've seen a lot of people having login issues because there was a typo in their email address.

Not sure what you're talking about? You can't hide accounts. Are you talking about imeages? User links? What?

@Background Pony #D3F3
Go to edit your filter, and below both tag lists, there should be a button that says "plain editor". Click that and it will show all your tags as a list of text that you can just "select all" and then "copy". Then go to your new account, create a new filter/edit an existing one, toggle plain editor again, and paste the tag list there.

@Luna
Converting to a public filter would not change ownership. Only the account that "owns" the filter would be able to modify the tags, which would be a pain in the ass every time they wanted to add another one.

So I decided to take a look at the reports queue, and…..

@AlushyTheTyrant
I'm guessing you're probably too young to remember Myspace?

I've seen exactly what you are asking for. It was a very troubling and disturbing time.
