Remember before if you typed harmarist, it would show nothing, so you had to type artist:harmarist?
That sucked.
While this is natural for users coming from Derpibooru or Furbooru, not so much for people coming from e621 and gelbooru. So we have made it so if you search for harmarist, it will bring up artist:harmarist!
What if an oc is named balto but there’s also the character balto?
It will show both tags and allow you to select one of the tags to just show that tag.
Truly a great feature to have.

Hmmm…. No. From wiki…
Hmmm…. No. From wiki…
In biology, a gynomorph is an organism with female physical characteristics, whereas an Andromorph is an organism with male physical characteristics. For instance, some female damselflies show colour variations typically found in males. Andromorphs, by resembling males, are thought to benefit from avoiding male harassment. Some authors have proposed that this benefit is offset by a higher probability of detection for andromorphs compared to gynomorphs owing to differences in body colouration.
Doesn’t really work.

A cool feature with Philomena is the ability to add detailed info and an image for every tag. I think it’s important to do IP characters (not OCs) and series. For artists, we can add their avatar and social links.
Doing this requires a tag editor role. You’d also be able to categorize tags and set details and images for them. You’ll get the staff role label of “Assistant.”
If interested, comment below with why you’d like to do this and your experience in the fandom and with websites.
Thanks!

Hello everyone,
I’m working on developing a tagging system that accurately reflects anatomical features, distinguishing between physical characteristics and gender identities. My goal is to “tag what you see,” focusing on anatomical features rather than gender identities.
I aim to avoid terms that have derogatory connotations, such as “futa,” “d*girl,” and “cboy,” as they can be offensive and are often associated with fetishization. Instead, I prefer neutral, descriptive tags that respect all individuals.
Some platforms use terms like “intersex male” and “intersex female.” However, the term “intersex” refers to specific medical conditions and may not encompass individuals who have undergone sex-affirming surgeries.
The current system uses tags like “trans male” and “trans female,” but these refer to gender identities, not anatomical features, and not all trans individuals undergo gender-affirming surgery.
I’m seeking the community’s input to develop a respectful and inclusive tagging system. While this feedback will guide my decision, I am inclined to avoid terms like “d*girl” and “cboy.”
I especially welcome insights from trans and non-binary community members to ensure our tagging system is respectful and inclusive.
Thank you for your input.

So we went down for a bit and I had to hire a dev to bring us back but we are back online! The base repository for Philomena did some major changes in July and I have been putting off the update but glad we are caught up!
The major change that caused the most problems with the least amount of visible change was changing from Elasticsearch to Opensearch. The reason is more economical as Opensearch is open source and Elasticsearch uses proprietary code and they are making licenses and asking for money….gross.
The most exciting change for you all is if you forget a rating or get another error, you won’t lose the image! So no longer fetching again and losing your tags or having to select the file again.
There’s also lots of changes with SCSS making theming much easier! We now have 9 dark and 9 light themes! Just go to https://cubfur.gay/settings/edit and click on display.
Please let me know if you run into new issues.

Tagging Guidelines have some mis-named tags:
trans-female — also known as “futa”, a female, but with a penis;
trans-male — a male, but with a vagina;
This is very wrong.
- Transmale: refers to person who was born with female sex, but he identifies as male gender. He might or might not transition physical sex to match his gender self-identification.
- Transfemale: refers to person who was born with male sex, but she identifies as female gender. She might or might not transition physical sex to match her gender self-identification.
- (Full-Package) Futa/Futanari: feminine hermaphrodite. A person who have penis, vagina, breasts, and have feminine appearance.
- Dickgirl: Intersex female with virilization. Female with penis + breasts, no vagina.
- CBoy: Intersex male with undervirilization. Male with vagina, no penis, no breasts.
Overall, you shouldn’t mix-up transgender people and intersex people. One is about gender self-identification, other is about being born with some physical sex.
I won’t post any further on this topic. Thanks for reading, see you later.

As I’m the main one uploading and tagging, I would like to come up with prizes for top tag editors and top uploads. It would be during a defined amount of time and I would reward the top three positions of each category.
As I want to keep everyone anon, what would be good monetary prizes as shipping something would compromise privacy. I do want to keep them fandom related. We can of course do badges on this site, but that wouldn’t be that valuable. Here are some ideas. Please vote for what you like or let me know something else.

Well, as long as we can still see anthro and/or feral cub/shota/loli here, I’ll be happy. :)
Of course! I just had complaints when I uploaded adult ferals here. It’d be easiest to make it one site but feral and cub furs don’t always mix well.

I want to use the same engine to make a booru for feral furs as that’s being cracked down on now. Some sites are restricting anthro x feral art (if the anthro is too humanoid), saying it promotes bestiality. What’s next… No knots on anthros? Well that’s what Patreon is saying! No animal genitalia.
I personally would love to see it so I probably will anyways but I’m just gauging interest.

I am a fan of Rule #4 and it’s one of the strictest rules we have but we feel it’s important
to go with our kink positivity and out of respect to artists and OCs: https://cubfur.gay/pages/rules
to go with our kink positivity and out of respect to artists and OCs: https://cubfur.gay/pages/rules
Let’s break it down together! =D
If you art that contains themes you don’t like or you can’t legally view it in your jurisdiction, you should add the appropriate tag to your filter. Do not post comments complaining about the content.
I’ve seen a pattern of a few people complaining that there’s girls on this site, humans on the site, adults on the site, etc. Our purpose is to be lenient in what is allowed here due to the restrictive nature of other boorus. This is why we have filters. Many of our filters are common defaults that you should utilize.
If you post a comment complaining about the content or kink of an image, it will likely get deleted. If it keeps up, your account may get restricted. We don’t believe in banning accounts, but we can make it so you can’t comment, vote, upload, etc. and that’s no fun!
Unlike other boorus that ban all negativity and even “creepy” comments, we think that’s stupid. This is an adult site for adults. If you want to post 4 paragraphs about how you want to fuck someone’s OC, that’s okay if the image is sexual in nature. (Obviously keep comments SFW on SFW images).
If you want to critique the art or playfully tease it, that’s fine too. For anything else, see Rule #0 PLUR.
If you think an image goes against our site rules, report it.
This should go without saying but just don’t comment. If you regularly report content that is within our rules, you may get restricted. Because it’s not to your taste doesn’t mean it violates our rules.
Do not use downvotes or the report feature on themes you don’t like.
Explained above, but on down voting… That’s for rating the quality of the art not if it’s your kink or not. Please utilize our amazing filtering and blacklist system so stuff you hate isn’t even shown to you.
My favorite way to restrict is forcing a filter on someone. This is done if they regularly complain about content, down vote content, or it’s clear they don’t quite understand who owns this site. We assume that a user is incapable of understanding our filter system so we help them out.
Thanks for using CubFur!

this ones actually a great example https://cubfur.gay/images/6226the low resolution and aliased brushes noriburu uses in their art is an intentional choice, upscaling it completely destroys the original look of the image by making it adopt a more traditional pen-like lineart
It’s not using specific non-aliased brushes… It’s using a free, Flash-based oekaki 15+ years ago.
If the artist requests, I’ll delete it.

and the lineart isn’t even consistent to what someone drawing would pens would do, there’s lots of “stepping” around the round corners due to the intentional stylistic decisions of the original image. especially around his cheek! to me it doesn’t look good at all

forgot to respond to this, sorry!
honestly i’m for the %shitty% original versions being saved alongside the upscaled versions if possible
for what its worth i don’t know anything about your process for enhancing images or how refined it is, though i generally have had a good experience with free AI models when upscaling artwork myself for personal use, so i’m not against upscaling as a concept (keeping in mind the limits of the technology)
i just mainly feel like entirely replacing a source image with a modified one hurts the booru as an archive, sure there’s some low-res art that are literally just crunched up .jpgs that got tossed around the internet too much, but there’s also art that could be deliberately made at a lower resolution. would it be a good idea to upscale and entirely replace something like that?
personally i dont think so
but if source images can stay then upscale all the images you want tbh, i’ll admit me calling for disallowing them is a bit much if we can just have both
and if anything, keeping the originals around also has the benefit of allowing for better upscaling in the future as software keeps improving

i get the point of them, but ultimately i don’t feel like they fit the context of an art archival site
they waste bandwidth and they introduce way too much artifacts to the images they were used on, causing smaller details to looks very mushy and vague
I really don’t agree on any of these accounts.
its not really an “enhancement”, it’s like sharpening a blurry image in photoshop! it looks better from far away but as soon as you zoom in you’ll see tons of artifacts that permanently lose information of the original image.
If an image is saved at 40% jpeg at 600 pixels, you can’t really make it worse. I think it far improves the quality.
and besides, the tools for upscaling artwork are widely available and free, if anyone wants an upscaled image there’s a good chance they’ll be able to make their own. there’s even sites like https://waifu2x.booru.pics/
And they suck. I use professional enlargement software that isn’t free and works far better. I also will manually edit the image in some cases.
what do you guys think?
An argument could be made that the original shitty version be saved too, but of course on this site we do link the source.
But as I own the site I likely won’t change the policy on allowing AI enhanced images.

Smart choice, especially since e621 recently banned all Young Human artwork,
and InkBunny’s policy was always “we don’t allow it, just cub” from the very beginning.

Make this the next safe haven for cub. Allowing every type of art would attract pressure to ban cub, as many general furry artists are strongly against cub.
I would shut down this site before banning cub, which e621 is close to doing. I do recommend furbooru.org for adult furry art as they use Philomena like we do.
I’ve decided to allow adults if they match one of these.
- Drawn by an artist who regularly draws cub.
- A cub is present in the image.
- The adult could be an older teen, such as femboys, twinks, etc.
