They're hitting everyone. Just poke me in the OJ steam and I'll pop in to remove it.

Other things to mention while I'm at it:
1: The staff of the hosting service seem to be unreachable now. I don't expect this to get fixed.
2: It's a bot that recreates the same account on every active booru and posts 1 picture. Bans aren't going to work like they should because the user seems to be relying on a dynamic pool and I can't do crap about that unless we switched software, which I was told won't happen.
3: The site might end up ceasing to exist entirely because of reason 1. The patreon is apparently under investigation because the money's vanishing into the ether. You know what this means. If nothing else, be prepared.

Well that sucks. Good thing I've downloaded almost the entire booru at this point. What do the spambots do? I haven't seen them.

It posts links to russian malware sites on a picture of some girl's probably altered snatch.

The host (not this booru's admin, I mean the host of the booru network itself) is radio silent as ever and anytime he's contacted for help the response is basically "Nothing I can do". I don't think the website will die outright but it will certainly be neglected because the platform is impossible to work with without tons of workarounds. Half of the things don't work properly or don't work outright, the control panel is a joke and barely offers you any kind of tools, there's no way to monitor anything and some things that would take a few seconds on, say, Danbooru will take hours of manually doing it here yourself, by hand.

Not to mention that their FAQ hasn't been updated since 2012 (which is also the last year stated in the copyright) and a few weeks ago the booru was inaccessible for a few days due to an invalid certificate.

There's basically three options. First one would be to just keep using this booru and try to work with the tools we have, which is a huge pain. Second would be to host the booru yourself, but who's gonna be willing to do that and, most importantly, be an unbiased host that can be trusted not to delete or ban things he doesn't like or drop the whole thing in a few months? Third would be to just forget about prettying up the booru and keep it at the bare usable minimum and try to work around any of the host's whoopsies, which is what's being done now (which also means that no one is really eager to upload stuff, we're sitting on massive backlogs of pictures from months back that no one don't feel like uploading because they have no reason to).
