We have come to a conclusion and as such this thread has served it’s purpose.

ironically the changeling comic sums up the situation pretty well.

@Background Pony #7681  
Give it a rest.

And now all the Filly fanart is being deleted because they just, they just can’t take it.  
Wooooow.  
Nice job mods. Gold star.

I appreciate the irony of someone impotently raging about other’s impotent rage.  
Thanks for brightening my day.

Imagine if all the impotent rage shown here over something so inconsequential was channeled into something productive? Proay have colonies on the moon. But nah, let’s rage against the mods for purging knockoff pony images.

This didn’t even occur to me- which is a yikes on my end, since I’ve been in their physical space several times before!  
Thanks for the reminder

Use the WaybackMachine. It can’t archive the uploaded picture, for a reason I’m not completely sure of, but it does archive the comments, the source link, the description, the ratings and the number of favouriters (but not their names, sadly).

Ouch!  
Well thanks for the leads

@Background Pony #5FA1  
i’m honestly not sure if that’s something we can even from do our end. you probably have to try copying them manually or saving each page as an .htm or something.

@Archonix  
OK, that at least I can respect.  
Much more honest than those 3 pages long arguments about how it would somehow completely disrupt the site and cause an xk-class-end-of-the-world scenario.

I’m not exactly best friends with the staff and moderation here and not used to praise the Derpibooru staff, but in this case, I have to say how commendable it is that there is such a strict position regarding “Filly Funtasia”. I look forward to the purge of non-crossover uploads, too.  
In a time and age where EQD is quick with reporting about unrelated things and loudly thinks about covering “Filly Funtasia” (not implying that Sethisto is addicted to views, of course) and where knighty thinks even louder about turning FIMFiction.net into a general fiction site, the course here is really refreshing.

@HenBasket  
All mods are gay everywhere. It’s a fact.

@Mikey  

 
Then you’re double gay

@Archonix  
We care so much about what 4chan thinks!
 
@HenBasket  
I’m already gay though.

@Archonix  
You realize if you’re keeping with the Reddit theme, you’re gay, right? Because you’re a mod? Get it?

Oh no, brigading!
 
(must keep with the theme since we apparently leddit now)

 
Oof

@Jarkes  

 
I really think this is a better solution than a purge of content. Of course the difficulty is the slight contradiction of allowing old content to exist that is technically against a current ruleset, but I believe this is absolutely justifiable in the efforts to preserve fandom history. It is not the Filly fandom that is being protected, it is the Brony fandom’s history.

@Archonix
 
So basically, the images we’ve already had on the site for years will stay up, but any more in the future are not allowed?

@Archonix  
I appreciate you using logical reasons other than the false knockoff accusation. It’s easier to accept the ruling that way.

The long and the short of it is, there isn’t enough of a relation between the two properties to justify hosting it. We’re a My Little Pony booru first and foremost, so that’s what we focus on. There’s no point trying to gotcha us with TFH or the few Last Unicorn pics we’ve allowed on here, or what other sites might or might not be doing, or what subjective percentage of fandom crossover you think you might or might not see. We have made a decision not to host it because this site is not a filly funtasia site.
 
As LB pointed out, there is a thread
 
@LightningBolt  

 
Just like there are threads for other non-MLP properties.

@someguy26  
It’s almost as if people forget filters exist…

@GreyGears  
Good for them. Last I checked, Derpibooru was not 4chan.
 
Either way, here you go.

@LightningBolt  

Even 4chan, the fandom’s creation point, decided that FF was /mlp/ material.
