This is the general thread for the alternative fan sites of the My Little Pony fandom. Discussion, development suggestions, and criticisms are all welcome here.Back from the grave edition.>Why alternate boorus?Recent changes to Derpibooru have made the site a less than ideal location for pony fan art. So, several new boorus have arisen to provide alternatives. Many of the altbooru owners post in thread and listen to questions and comments from anons. Note that this is NOT the Derpibooru drama general. Please keep posts about Derpibooru in the thread on mlpg.co.>Why alternate text sites?>Why alternate text, fanfiction, and fanfiction archival sites?Pastebin.com has deleted, and continues to delete, greentexts on the site. FimFiction does not allow stories in the greentext format. FimFetch has been purging foalcon and other material deemed to be "unacceptable" as late as Jan 22 of 2024,. As such, a new home is needed.Overview: altboorus.org>General purpose boorustwibooru.org by Twifag [!twifag.HOY] and Not Twifag/Floorb [!!H3PJaMJmY66]ponybooru.org by ZizzyDizzyMC [!DizzyMC4pc]ponerpics.org by Lotus [!!WYvH32WjaoR]rainbooru.org by Raindev [!RaInbOWink] (dev MIA)>Specialized boorus:booru.foalcon.com by Pathos [!!arjIjTdCTdq] - Underagelyrabooru.org - Hot glue>Greentext, fanfiction and fanfiction archival sitesponepaste.org managed by Not Twifag/FloorbIAS (derpy.me/1yd6A) (Text search)foalfetch.net managed by Floorb>Video sitespony.tubepon3.streamprojectvinyl.net>File sharingsmutty.horse (frozen until further notice)IWIFTP>Latest Developments:-A security/privacy issue on Ponepaste, which allowed for anyone to view one's private paste titles, their authors, and tags (but not its actual content) was patched.-Semi-minor spam on Ponerpics, Lyrabooru, perhaps elsewhere as well. [might not be worth including?]-The fanfiction archival site FimFetch escalates its ongoing purge of content deemed by them as "unacceptable" (mainly foalcon) by hosting a list of accounts from all around the fandom (FimFiction, Discord, AO3, Derpibooru, ect.) they "found" to be associated with said material. In response, Floorb has created foalfetch.net.

>>41203979ponybooru got hacked, all passwords are forcibly reset. The site itself won't tell you that, it'll just claim that your password is "incorrect". You have to use "I forgot my password" feature, and if you don't have an e-mail associated with an account, you're out of luck.
