"piko piko hammer" → "hammer"

Thank you.

I don’t know if this is the right thread to talk about this but when I searched for “vector” it instead just searched for the character “Vector The Crocodile” but the “vector” tag should stay as its own tag since a Vector is a png image usually made in Illustrator. Now I don’t know too much about vectors but it’s still important that we keep that tag separated from the “Vector The Crocodile” tag.

Hi,

For some reason if I try to access the site via https it says connection refused, it works fine without SSL.
Is the 443 port blocked?

Talk about Your favorite character, Mine is Metal because he feels so much more alive and he knows he can make his own choices but still follows Eggman, it's just so intriguing.

I had no idea this place existed until now! Glad I found it!

No seriously, where are you coming from?

This isn't a public website. It's still in pre-alpha. This isn't advertised anywhere. Yet we're still getting bursts of users.

How'd you find out about AMS?

First: Please don't spam other threads, other images, etc., asking about thumbnails.

Second: I'm not able to duplicate this behavior. What are you doing to cause this to happen?

Is the website ready for people to hop on? Just wondering because I don't wanna ruin anything.

i keep being signed off every hour for some reason. is it normal for this to happen?

nevermind. forgot to click remember me.

Earlier today, FurAffinity announced that they are going to begin deleting art based on the proportions of the characters within. Asked for clarification, an admin used Mew (from Pokemon) as an example of the kind of character they're going to delete. Unfortunately, about 18 years of Sonic art is squarely in the crosshairs here. Many artists don't have the ability to go over their 18 years of artistic output in just one month — particularly the ones who have passed on.

There is no indication they're working with archive.org or any other preservation charity yet. The only way the artwork is going to be saved is if it's moved somewhere — and with help from the people who love their work.

Ask the artists if they're willing to have their art backed up on a booru. Use shouts, so they only get asked once. If they say yes, spread the load among several (such as e621 and furbooru ). Try to preserve original titles and descriptions (we request that in our own uploading guide and our Esteemed Companions on the internet have their own for their own sites). Please be sure to tag accurately and completely.

Ultimately, everything on the Internet is built on sand, and the waves are always coming in. But we can keep telling their stories to keep a little of it up a little longer.

There's a whole bunch of shipping tags, such as sonadow, on our site. This isn't directly a problem, yet. However, going forwards, I can see this being an issue because there is no one single way to name a ship pair. It would nice to have a way to have a good idea what a tag "ought" to be even if you don't know if anyone has ever drawn it.

My suggestion is to change all ship tags to the form:

A x B

where A and B are the accepted short names here on AMS, A is the name that comes first alphabetically, and B is the name that follows alphabetically.

Thus, if you wanted to see if a really rare ship existed, say Sally and Espio, you wouldn't be in the dark guessing Salespio? Salspio? Espally? Espially?" or searching sally acorn, esipo, shipping and hoping for results, you could just type in espio x sally and see if results existed right away.

Thoughts? Downsides?

These are entire species of aliens. They should be species tags, not characters.

bem → species

Edit: Xorda is probably fine actually because it's a hivemind. But Bem should still be a species

Solid color backgrounds should imply simple background, as a background with only one solid color is simple.

white background → simple background
grey background → simple background
blue background → simple background
pink background → simple background
purple background → simple background
yellow background → simple background
green background → simple background
red background → simple background
black background → simple background
beige background → simple background
orange background → simple background
brown background → simple background

No background at all is also a simple background.

transparent background → simple background

Really small batch of category changes for some of the small animals.

ricky → character
pocky → character
picky → character
rocky → character

I have too many to reasonably make individual threads, but I'll split them up into separate posts by media type so it isn't just one big blob. Here's some characters that need to be blue.

I'll start with characters from the games:

dodon pa → character
dr. fukurokov → character
foreman krag → character
heavy the robot → character
iblis → character
illumina → character
mephiles the dark → character
merlina the wizard → character
mother wisp → character
nega-mother wisp → character
norman → character
shahra → character
sister sonic → character
speedy the kukku → character
wendy witchcart → character

On my end at least.
