This is the general thread for the alternative fan sites of the My Little Pony fandom. Discussion, development suggestions, and criticisms are all welcome here.
Still on life support edition.
>Why alternate boorus?Changes to Derpibooru have made the site a less than ideal location for pony fan art. So, several new boorus arose to provide alternatives. Many of the altbooru owners post in thread and listen to questions and comments from anons. Note that this is NOT the Derpibooru drama general. Please keep posts about Derpibooru in the thread on
mlpg.co.
>Why alternate text sites?>Why alternate text, fanfiction, and fanfiction archival sites?Pastebin.com has deleted, and continues to delete, greentexts on the site. FimFiction does not allow stories in the greentext format. FimFetch has been purging foalcon and other material deemed to be "unacceptable" as late as Jan 22 of 2024,. As such, a new home is needed.

>Latest Developments:- Ponybooru has been up and down a lot due to server issues.
- FoalFetch is being worked on, but slowly. Downloads for stories were added.
- Floorb is working on a project to archive pony from Twitter, DeviantArt and maybe other sites, and looking for volunteers to help.
- Ongoing comment and image spam on the various altboorus.
- A security/privacy issue on Ponepaste, which allowed for anyone to view one's private paste titles, their authors, and tags (but not its actual content) was patched.
- The fanfiction archival site FimFetch escalates its ongoing purge of content deemed by them as "unacceptable" (mainly foalcon) by hosting a list of accounts from all around the fandom (FimFiction, Discord, AO3, Derpibooru, ect.) they "found" to be associated with said material. In response, Floorb has created
foalfetch.net. For keeping up with the ongoing drama, see
