Real porn, moving off rule34 to realbooru.com
For a while now we have been enforcing stricter moderation on real content and a lot of real content is getting removed for 'random real'. It appears this type of content is wanted by some people but all this real stuff just doesn't fit on rule34.
I have decided that its for the best to move all real porn off to a other booru. This has several benefits such as:
1) Anything legal will be allowed.
2) Rule34 will be 100% hentai and easier to categorize for our ad network and billing company's
3) Less vague rules of what's random or not.
I can move and sync content over to a different booru so none of the posts will be lost. The question is now, should we move it to our sister site xbooru.com (mixed content like rule34) or make a seperate booru, dedicated for real porn? You can put in your vote here: www.strawpoll.me/15082782
If you vote for a new booru then you may also want to give name suggestions as a reply! Whatever route we take you can expect the same software, uptime and fast speeds you enjoy here on rule34.

FEB 19 NEWS:
All images and webms are transferred over. All post with "real" tag are now soft deleted and pending full deletion on 26 Feb. During this time you could try to find said images on realbooru.com and make an account there to add them back as favs. Unfortunately ids are not the same so you'll have to do it by md5: or tag searches. I apologize for the inconvenience.
To clarify, when an image is soft deleted you can still see the thumbnail on your favorites and click on it to land on the actual page. Clicking the 'Original image' will link you directly to said image. They will however not be shown in searches anymore.
