Opening Thread

@Admin
First, thanks for putting in the time and effort to build out the site and reaching out to the community for feedback. Both are really big tasks and I just want to show some appreciation for it. I think given the circumstances this site is the only workable solution to the AI art issue for a community like ours, but it’s still a lot of work.

I have a question about the future of “machine learning abomination” images. According to a plain reading of the quality guidelines it seems stuff like that isn’t going to be accepted and would probably be removed, but on the other hand some of it is hilarious (example). Would this be something decided on a case-by-case basis as long as it’s properly tagged at submission? Like, if it’s so obvious that someone isn’t trying to sneak in a poor piece as a good one?

@Adorable Blue Fox
doing the Lords work here!

Hey just a thought. Is it possible to import all the non AI art from Derpi onto here as well, and have it so that all new uploads on Derpi are immediately imported to here as well like the other Altboorus do?

Putting on a User hat rather than an Artist hat, I can’t really see myself using two different websites for pony content. If everything was available here in one place, then It would be insanely convenient (like Derpi was until two weeks ago). If you had all the content here, then I could see the site becoming more popular than Derpibooru over time.

I don’t know what your hosting resources are like, but if it’s possible it would be great to see. Considering there is currently no limit to the number of uploads people can post, there must be considerable resources behind it.

I also think that Tantabus.ai is not a good name, considering a Tantabus is a soul sucking horror. It feels like someone who doesn’t like AI came up with it. I think Sweetiebottru.ai or Sweetiebooru.ai would be a much better name.

Anyway I appreciate the effort you’re putting in.

I’m pretty sure the other altboorus already mirror both new uploads to here and Derpi. The real question is whether you can tolerate the active users or the crickets elsewhere.

@Button Fixer
There is no plan to import non-AI images; this places’ focus should be, well focused on AI.

That said there is a planned feature down the line that could make life easier on that front.

As for the name, I chose tantabus because I really liked its design, it gave us Nightmare Moon, and it’s a play off how every other AI related site really goes full ham with “dream this” and “dream that”. I’d really rather avoid “sweetie” in the name as that’s a CMC character, and while Sweetie Bot is popular in much of the fandom, she’s still a minor, so the implications on site purpose from that are… not great.

If there’s some big clamor for a name change we might look into it, maybe to coincide with a big feature update or something, but honestly I’d rather not.

Report reason dropdown still needs updating:

That’s fair enough about the name. I still think the addition of booru would be good, since it is very recognisiable and people know what a booru is.

Just a minor issue, but would it be possible to get images I have previously uploaded, added to the My Uploads tab? It’d be nice to see everything that originally came from me on here.

Tag your images with a prompter tag if it doesnt have it yet, and then request a user link which can be found on your profile.
