/jp/ - Otaku Culture

All three.

Gelbooru

Neither. I go to both according to my needs. Danbooru for translations and Gelbooru for "premium" content.

>>6074235
Oh fuck, pixiv was hidden when I expanded the image.

Pixiv is DeviantART in Japanese. I don't know why you're even making this comparison.

chanbooru

I use all boorus I can find.

Danbooru is a sack of shit. The so called mods keep deleting images and they lock out certain tags unless you pay.

pixiv

I gave up on danbooru sometime last year when it kept going down all the time. Lack of loli tag without the firefox extension (or is it a greasemonkey script?) was also very annoying. So, gelbooru.

Pixiv is pretty shit overall and I'm pretty sure you people only like to hype it up because it's Japanese. Most of the drawings are absolute ass. I'd rather go to a booru where people actually filter the shit out for me. I'll only go to pixiv when I can't find something on a booru.

I don't understand why people hate danbooru so much. Just leech off of them or avoid them and stay with another booru. I also wonder how many mods in each site participate in these kind of threads.

Gelbooru since Danbooru started hating on my loliporn.

I can't read jappo so Pixiv is right out.

I use all three, but Pixiv the most.

>>6074278
>He doesn't use better_danbooru

I use each one whenever it suits me. To use only one is to be mentally disabled.

bump

Suck up to mods, acquire contributor account, laugh when people say they go to Gelbooru for premium content. Pixiv has some good stuff that never makes it to the boorus though.

pixiv > gelbooru > danbooru

>>6076603
Gelbooru has more content (as in more PORN)

The only one I visit pretty much everyday is Pixiv.
I go to Danbooru for translations though.

I prefer danbooru because their stuff seems to be better tagged, and I just use better_danbooru to see loli/shota.

Danbooru first (and only, in the case of Touhou images), occasionally check pixiv for less popular stuff that might not make it to danbooru, or to look up a specific artist I like. Never touch gelbooru, last time I tried using it was maybe 2 years ago and there were shitty interstitial ads and it was laggy as fuck

>葉月
Reason why all the other -boorus are better.

>>6076725
Forgot to add in Fencedude... and pretty much the entire mod staff. Dickheads, everyone of them.

Fucking Pixiv artists, why do they keep deleting their shit?

It's the pixiv whores on danbooru who upset me.

danbooru. Sometimes I accidentally read the comments on gelbooru and I want to jump in front of traffic. danbooru is bad, but Jesus fuck.

Also danbooru is just like gelbooru if you filtered out all of the bullshit from the latter. Only reason to go there is for loli unless you like shitty futa and furry (most of which is terribly drawn even by the site's standards).

I only use pixiv, no real reason to use the boorus.

>>6076799
enjoy wading through page after page of shit. It's fine if you're looking for something less popular, but holy fuck I couldn't imagine how painful it would be trying to filter through Touhou images on pixiv. Also pixiv has been pretty slow to load for me lately.

>>6076807
>pixiv has been pretty slow to load
So is danbooru with their number of failboorus.
>>6076745
Probably because they know their works is being stolen?

>>6076807
It only takes a second to click to the next page so it isn't really an issue for me. It's easy to ignore drawings I don't like.

Pixiv, though honestly I prefer going direct to artist homepages. If they have a pixiv account I check whether the pictures over there are higher rez or not.

Why would you only use one?

>>6076816
>Oh no my pictures are posted on danbooru I must delete them from Pixiv!

Pixiv. The only good things from danbooru and gelbooru come from pixiv anyway, so why not just cut out the useless middlemen?

Speaking of pixiv, someone talked about a function that let's you get updated whenever a certain artist posts a new picture. What is this function called exactly?

Danbooru is still the way to go if you want to get a link to the original artist's pixiv account. Other than that Gelbooru is superior in every way.

>>6076877
Bookmarking them?

>>6076877
You bookmark the artists and then go to http://www.pixiv.net/bookmark_new_illust.php..

All.

>>6076881
>>6076885
By bookmarking, do you mean the お気に入り追加 button?

konachan > all

>>6076929
Yes.

>>6076929
Their is a pixiv translation script. You should use it.

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/65644

cute little sister

>>6076938
Okay, thanks.

>>6076944
I have no problem understanding the text on the site thanks to rikaichan, but the way it's built up kinda confuses me.

Gelbooru,
then pop into pixiv now and then,
but more of e-shuushuu

Gelbooru. I see it as a "best of pixiv" that filters out all the shit tier art. I rarely go to pixiv.

Fuck Danbooru. Anyone who uses Danbooru is an evident newfag.

>>6076725

葉月 here: I'm flattered sir. Y'all are the proof I do my job right.

>>6077297
Far from it.

>>6077310

Nah, it's still a fine picture.

You don't read the comments on fucking anything. Ever. Even lurking amongst us right now are massive faggots who will make you want to kill yourself when you read their comments. They restrain themselves here, because they know they'll be called out on it, but link them anything, like some retarded video or some article on a terrible site, and you'll start to see very recent comments that have a touch of /jp/ but also a touch of oh my god what the fuck get off my board.

>>6077327
Upset now?

Danbooru, I use Pixiv to search obscure shit.
Gelbooru is Danbooru for retards who dont know how to make a account or install a script in Mozilla.

>>6077323
lol

>>6077310
Approves that and deletes this.

>>6077330

S/he's very right. We've been grappling with the influx of shitty comments on danbooru, and so far we're losing.

The voting system fails.

>>6077353
Oh boy, those are some ridiculous proportions.

Primary sources are either Pixiv for artists I like, or the artist's homepage itself. Danbooru now and again to check around. moe.imouto.org for occasional big images. iqdb to source things.

Fuck religious wars.

>>6077360

It's been advisory at best and not a real measure of anything for a long time now. The fact we switched to priv+ was another way of saying "porn 1 : quality 0"

Pixiv for check usual tags

Gelbooru for find official artwork or fast browsing

>>6077384
I just hope it's dealt with soon. Comments there have gone way out of hand.

>>6077364
It was flagged for photo-shop flare or something.

The only thing I hate about Hazuki is giving Mr. GT contributor level.

>>6077399

It's a decidedly uneasy task. Technical measures that approximate real human moderation on a site this big basically *have* to be proxies for some kind of human activities, and that means some tricky and expensive programming. If you happen to follow the forum, I have proposed a mod_virgule-like approach, but it's been slow for many reasons, including my thesis, the scale of the task, and the general difficulty of getting non-trivial changes past albert.

Pixiv for the most part. If I HAVE to use a booru I go with Gelbooru, otherwise I prefer using pixiv.

>>6077436

If that's any consolation, I hate myself for that too sometimes. One of these days I'll probably snap on one too many shitty Flan pic and rethink that decision.

>>6077364
Artist draws lots of sparkly pictures. Also menstruating Flan

>>6077448
It's hard to get responses from him sometimes. I rarely get on the forums, so a link to it would be appreciated.
>>6077455
A demotion is demanded. He abuses his power way too much, and he's becoming a janitor soon, so yeah.

Why are people still arguing over which is 'best'? They all do different things well, and which one(s) you want to use depend on whether you can handle moon, whether you want translations, whether tag quality is a priority for you, whether you prefer a better-filtered or more complete selection of images, etc. I don't see the need for the West Side- East Side bullshit that pops up in every one of these threads.

Also, how hard is it to simply ignore retarded comments? We all know little kids and dumbasses use the internet. Shit, I see them too while checking comments for info on context/translation/artists, but danbooru's not like youtube, where you might have to wade through hundreds of derp-tier comments looking for a useful scrap of information.

I use safebooru and konachan to find stuff. I only use danbooru for translations and pixiv for finding new art.

>>6077486
Request this to be stickied for truth.

>>6077436
>Mr. GT
Recently, he's been getting upset when someone beats him to the uploads and asked the artists to send him higher resolution versions of the same pictures so he can make his own uploads the parents to spite the other uploaders.

>>6077473

http://danbooru.donmai.us/forum/show/38968 is the gist of it. There's more discussion in this thread, but be prepared for a very tl;dr thread, it's huge.

As for demotion, yeah, I haven't noticed he applied for a janitor. Will have to act on that.

>>6077542

Uh-huh, [citation needed]?

Pixiv for when I want stuff by a specific artist. Danbooru for when I want stuff by series.
Gelbooru for when I want to fap.

>>6077557
It's pretty obvious.

>>6077572

I mean the "asking artist for hi-res" part.

>>6077557
http://www.pixiv.net/member_board.php?id=174527
And the increase of posts by him without source. If you check them, you'll notice that nearly all of them are parents of images uploaded by other uses, mostly Herrmobel's and Mysterio006's, I think.
Example: http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/700794

>>6077584
I was wondering where those higher res images were coming from.

>>6077584

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I haven't had anywhere near enough time recently, not to mention I've given up on comments a long time ago, so I'd likely have missed it otherwise. I'll have talks with some people now.

>>6077584
So wait, he just PMs these artists on pixiv asking if he can have a hi-res image so he can post it on some shitty gaijin site, and they agree?

How I see them is

Danbooru - simplicity
Gelbooru - quality
Pixiv - quantity

All three are good in there own way, It's just a matter of taste.

>>6077612
I guess he omit the part with the gaijin site.
>>6077606
I didn't actually get involved with looking into this, but after questioning the source, I got a PM from [censored]. I know that there is bad blood between them.

>>6077665
>I got a PM from [censored]. I know that there is bad blood between them.
Yeah, Mr. GT and Herrmobel are retards for each other

>Gelbooru while searching furry
>115 pages
>Danbooru while searching furry
>8 pages
>pixiv while searching furry
>10 pages

I think this speaks for itself.

>>6077686
why where you searching furry on those sites.

>>6077686
Now search loli and watch what happens.

Modifying your browser in any way does not count.

>>6077686
don't forget to put kemono in on pixiv its the same thing but japanese

>>6074222
Gelbooru is for me!
I think we all can agree on that one.

>>6077742
Danbooru: 798 pages (+62 deleted)
Gelbooru: 1385 pages
Pixiv: won't load right now

>>6077742
>Danbooru while loli
>798 pages
>Gelbooru while loli
>1385 pages (DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNN)
>pivix
>10 pages (Bullshit i don't believe it.)

>>6077776
Nobody tags their stuff as ロリ on pixiv.

Pixiv only ever displays 10 pages at once. You also can't use english search terms on a Japanese site, you stupid fucking americans.

>>6077799
ロリis more or less Japanese.

>>6077771
>>6077776
Gelbooru confirmed for master race.

>>6077552
A little late with my response.

Your method sounds like a good idea, but I'm kinda against privs getting multipliers. Most of them got their status because of $20, not for contribution. But I guess that's when your karma system comes in.

>>6078011
I got it for tagging a couple of years ago. Interestingly enough, I was made privileged right after my ban expired.

>>6078024
The promotions back then were really weak. Some of them upload shit or don't contribute at all.

The promotions back then were really weak. Some of them upload shit or don't contribute at all now. One of them even uploaded a fucking macro.

>>6077542
How do you know that ?

>>6078102
Trust me, you would know if you pay attention to uploads.

>>6077542
Isn't that good though? We get high resolution images and he gets a sense of satisfaction. It's a win-win for everyone.

>>6078112
Well, some day he emailed me to delete a corrupted file and told me that I could re-upload it myself, so I thought it was nice of him. But its true that he has been reported to be a little too 'competitive' regarding the uploads

Danbooru mods are elitist hypocrites who approve shit, yet deny good pictures for petty reasons. Pixiv is good, but keeping track of what every tag is called in Japanese gets annoying after some time. In other words, Gelbooru.

>>6078131
If you have any particular grief, you know you can still email a janitor

I get so mad when Mr_GT snipes uploads with 2 tags on every single post he uploads

>>6078131
Your definition of a good picture is anything with a dick or vagina.

>>6078144
I've been cockblocked several times too, but its not a competition. I just make sure every good art is uploaded and the posts correctly tagged afterwards

lolibooru is best booru

>>6078142
Janitors are shit as well.
>>6078149
No, but Danbooru's definition of a bad picture is anything that they're not personally into, regardless of how good the pic is.

>>6078160
I think the main criteria are 'Is the pic anatomically correct ?' and 'Is this original art instead of a shitty Photoshop job ?'

Pixiv

>>6078175
Since people in real life have eyes bigger than their noses.

>>6078210
Facial features ≠ anatomy

So can anyone find me a single good picture that's on Gelbooru but got deleted on Danbooru? Because as far as I can tell such a picture does not exist.

I use all sources I can get my hands on.

ペド is a good search term on pixiv if you like loli...

Danbooru and Pixiv. I only go to Gelbooru if I want to see more of something and don't want to put it it Japanese.

Both.

Though, Gelbooru hosts Danbooru anyway, so the traffic all goes to the same source.

I side with Google.

usually pixiv, just bookmark the artists you like.

GT just got demoted from t-janitor. Just thought you guys will care since your so butt hurt by him.

>>6080579
Who?

>>6080579
What?

>>6080584
>>6080641
Don't worry about it if you don't know.

>>6080579

danbooru because I LOVE all the faggots tears when I delete something

>>6083892
alicemywaifu?

>>6083900
nope, FeKa

pixiv to see my bookmarked artist. then danbooru to see my subscribed tags.

I miss banning people.

Danbaroo... Because Quantity.

three mods were fished out

>>6083892
If I upload a lot of milfeulle pics will you let me upload stuff you'd normally delete

>>6083948
nope. I approve only good pics there.

I much prefer Danbooru due to their having more completely tagged and sourced pictures.

>>6083982

I prefer pixiv because it IS the source.

>>6083968
If I upload a lot of umineko pics, will you approve them?

>>6083985
While that is true, having the images accessible in a language that I know is very convenient. I use Pixiv when I see something I like and want to see more of the artist's work.

>>6084036
I'll approve only the pics that look good to me.

>>6084060
>>6076944

Pixiv seeing as how 99% of shit you find on Gelbooru, Danbooru or even 4chan comes from there. It is definitely NOT the "DA of Japan" as I've seen people post a few times, at least when comparing art quality.

I bookmark artists I like on Pixiv (up to 155 now, wonder if there's a limit) to make sure I never miss anything from them, but for general browsing purposes I use Danbooru. Filters out a lot of the shit content, and the tagging system is a lot less archaic.

danbooru sucks for one good reason: this picture was deleted.

reason? not good enough quality.

>>6084222
Definitely gay for deleting an Aldra pic.

>>6084222
What a horrible image.

I switch back and forth between Danbooru and Gelbooru; both of them are full of shit in their own various ways so I use them both to compensate for each other's lackings.

Pixiv is something else altogether. It's more like Deviantart but with real artists instead of shitty teenage tracefags.

>>6084222
The anatomy is fucked up.

>>6084300
I have seen far worse get accepted.

pixbooru

I use danbooru to help me find pixiv tags.

Didn't expect my thread to get this popular.

Whenever you search for something the result just links you to some pixiv pages, which are in japanese and don't help you at all find the source of what you are looking for.

danbooru because I like to access my lolis using the AMERICAN LANGUAGE

>>6084398
fastinig

Pixiv:
(+)Quantity
(-)Horrible tagging, moon language

Danbooru:
(+)Good tagging, great pools, translation
(-)Loli banned, strict approval

Gelbooru:
(+)Hentai
(-)Shitty pools, shitty comments

Also, don't forget the fact that 80% of Gelbooru pics are acquired through leeching off Danbooru.

Always add -user:danbooru to your searc, problem solved

>>6084924
Doesn't the admin of da let gb leech him?

>>6085512
He publishes a full API to rip the site efficiently. He just doesn't care with all those fools who send him $20.

>>6084948
No, Pixiv tags are fucking terrible because there's so many duplicates among them.

If I want to go through Persona 3 images I have to check ペルソナ3, P3, and P3P. It's entirely possible an awesome image is tagged with one of these but not the other two. This effectively doubles the amount of time I have to spend searching.

Same thing with Monster Hunter: モンスターハンター, モンハン, and MH are all in use on Pixiv, all refer to the same game/series, and all can return completely different results.

>>6085591
This, and also coupled with the fact that artists will just tag an image with just one or two tags make it annoying as fuck.

>>6084222
wtf, that was deleted?
unbaleted just for you anon-kun.

>>6085623
thanks. you're awesome.

>>6085623
I was about to approve it, but I remembered that I kinda hate Queen's Blade.

>>6085591
>>6085608
Then add the tags yourself. I know you do this on the other places already.

>>6085788
I do, but there's still two small problems:

1.) I'm still spending more time just searching for images than I'd like to be, all because Pixiv is too retarded to condense/alias some of these tags together.
2.) The other sites at least give you a tag edit count, as a means to pat you on the back and say "Congratulations, you've helped make this site slightly less shitty this many times." Pixiv doesn't even give you that much.

And speaking of retarded things about Pixiv, why the fuck is there still no other way to sort images by anything other than date?

>>6085855
Use the script I linked, fag.

>>6085855
"Sort by rating" would resort in a large amount of circlejerking.

pixiv. danbooru is to rough. gelbooru is fool of shit heads.
