Indibooru is closing down!

Would like to inform everyone that use to use Indibooru, the Dreamkeepers (DK) imageboard, is shutting down as of today due to various issues with the site that hamper the usual operation of the website.

One of the reasons I intend to shut down the booru is because it seems doubtful that the Dev will sort the coding issues out any time soon, a brief list of some of the problems which plagued the site:

Uploading images failed
Searching with more than one tag failed
Commenting failed
Setting tags failed
Backend Admin tools failed

and prob a few more things I haven't noticed!

But yeah, even with just these few issues, the booru software no longer was fit for purpose, we raised support tickets but these have currently gone unanswered since January 2023, the software isn't up to date with the current PHP version, which was one of the causes for everything breaking however we didn't expect anything to be this bad other than the odd bug.

Both me and my brother (server host) are fed up with it at this point and have exhausted all other options for a replacement, but most either use code we don't understand (Ruby on Rails) or are written in out of date versions of PHP, and sadly while they would hold all the images, a gallery software doesn't have the flexibility for tag options as a Booru.

So I've decided it would be best to shut it all down, though will be putting every image into a downloadable archive (link below) for everyone in the off chance that someone else wants to try and pick up the idea, if in the future we get another Booru software working, we'll restart Indibooru and welcome everyone back again, but until then, this is the best we can do to still let everyone access these images!

Anyway, take care everyone, and thank you again for helping or just using the booru for as long as it lasted!
