SoyBooru (original)

SoyBooru's menu screen

SoyBooru was an imageboard dedicated to soyjak images hosted on booru.org. Over 3900 soyjaks were uploaded before its deletion.

SoyBooru was recognized as a good if somewhat flawed source for soyjaks, and was recommended in a pinned post on the /soy/ board of soyjak.party. Note that using Booru filenames, especially as part of a Soy Duel, may result in you getting called out for having sourced 'jaks from the Booru instead of using organically-collected 'jaks from your soy collection.

Moderation

SoyBooru's moderation situation depicted with a 'jak.

Unfortunately, SoyBooru was a frequent victim of spam and coal attacks due to its inactive moderator/owner, former Soyjak Wiki moderator Syjck. Many Chuds expressed their frustration on the 'party about both this issue and the fact that many images were untagged or insufficiently tagged, some suggesting that Soot make an official soyjak.party Booru. Soot stated his intention to reach out to Syjck, (possibly to take over SoyBooru) but whether he ever did this and, if so, whether Syjck responded, is currently unknown.

Deletion

On August 25th 2021 SoyBooru was deleted after user Soyak requested ownership of the Booru on its forum section due to the inactive moderation and consequent spam. After the forum post went unnoticed, he then emailed booru.org staff at the suggestion of another Chud. Unfortunately this brought the issue to the attention of booru.org admin "Mr K.", who promptly deleted the entire Booru and, with it, over a year of hard work and 'jak history from many dedicated archivists, because of about a dozen pornographic images and fewer than ten low-resolution gore images, which were, as he put it, "too much to reasonably remove". Printed below is the entirety of Soyak and Mr K's brief email correspondence.

Soyak:

I would like to request ownership for https://soybooru.booru.org/ since the current admin is inactive and the booru is filled with real life pornography spam

I would like to delete pornography, and I already made a thread requesting ownership a week ago and I didn't recieve [sic] response (here is the thread https://soybooru.org/index.php?page=forum&s=view&id=11)

Also regarding the first reply on the thread, that person though that I would actually support the spam on the site (he refers to it as coal) but this isn't the case at all, I will delete all the spam the breaks booru.org ToS

Thanks in advance.

Mr K:

Hello,

The site is removed I'm afraid, I found real life porn, beheadings [soynote: this probably refers to images made by Norwegians during the Soyvil War] and other prohibited toxic content in violation of our terms of service, too much to reasonably remove, you can remake the booru if you like, but if it turns up tos infringing content like that again we will delete it once again.

Best Regards.

Mr K.
