> Why did you start yumebooru?Because I grew tired of artists deleting their socials, sometimes out of the blue, and making their artworks to be gone forever. I was following one artist in particular (who happened to be japanese btw) on Tumblr. You can currently find their artworks on Yumebooru under "oimo" tag. I've personally witnessed them wiping their socials three times, and coming back shortly afterwards under the same or similar username. Because of that, numerous of awesome artworks of theirs might be gone forever, we'll never know for sure. I'm still blaming myself to this day that I didn't care enough back then to save all of their artworks. And these disappearances has motivated me to preserve as much YNFG artworks as possible, so everyone can still find and enjoy them even after the original artist has gone.
Yumebooru has also helped me to find a new hobby: self-hosting. I always liked tinkering with computers, and I find interesting setting up various services to serve my needs. Basic example: cloud storage. Isn't it awesome to have your own, private, and theoretically limitless cloud storage? And not depending on, let's say, Google, that secretly digs through your, private files? With the only price to pay is electricity bill? I think this is awesome.
Also, fun fact: as of lately, Yumebooru receiving 20-60 new posts per day on average.
> Was its initiation connected to this site at the very beginning?No, but Seisatsu later told me that before Yumebooru, Uboachan used to have a booru hosted on booru.org network, but that booru got riddled with sketchy ads, abandoned, and later removed from Uboachan's community services. Now, Yumebooru has taken it's place.
> How'd you get your start at UC?I've been using anonymous imageboards since early 2010's, but my journey on Uboachan starts from rare posts in early 2020's in /yn/. Then I've revived YNFG archive and created a thread about it in /fg/. Since then I'm an active member of the website.
