Where bronies, weeaboos, and permavirgins fap together in peace and harmony

A booru (plural boorus, Japanese for "board") is a style of imageboard much like a chan, except you have to register and the image you post stays up FOREVER. The result, of course, is inevitably large amounts of gay furry porn, gay furry fart porn, and CP. A booru can easily be distinguished by having a bunch of iddy biddy lolis holding up numbers on the front page bragging about how many images the site contains... DO NOT BE FOOLED! Behind every loli there are thousands upon thousands of obese lizard people gang-raping a fetus. And you're next. So, if you value your sanity, stay away... but, considering how you're you, that's a lost cause anyway...

Imageboard 2.0

Danbooru-style boards organize images based on tags, ratings, and scores. So instead of having a hierarchical organizing structure with a bunch of directories and sub-directories (or boards, such as /b/, /mlp/, /pol/, etc.) one finds images simply by searching for their characteristics. The software used on boorus varies but it is obvious that either Derpibooru or Sankakucomplex has the best software, and booru.org's software is total shit. This is likely because the owner of booru.org is too poor to afford buying Gelbooru 0.2.x—so instead it's users are stuck with Gelbooru 0.1.x open source shitware. There is other software—which, qualitywise, is in between.

Bulk uploading

Mass-uploading on booru.org (or other Gelbooru-type sites) is tough shit, one has to:

1. Get an old version of Firefox (less than version 38 but older than 3.6).
2. Register to a booru.
3. Go to https://ibsearch.xxx/mass-upload/?http://your-booru/index.php?page=post&s=add.
4. Go to Firefox → options → remove individual cookies → search for: "pass_hash" and "user_id" then copy the contents of cookies and paste it into the forum.

And now that Proger_XP deleted the online hosting of the script (on September 7, 2015) one has to:

1. Get Apache and PHP (use XAMPP and install MySQL when XAMPP asks).
2. Run as administration (for Windows users).
3. Copy the files in the ZIP file "mass-uploader.zip" to "C:\xampp\htdocs\mass-uploader" (for Windows users).
4. Go to URL "http://localhost/mass-uploader/?http://your-booru/index.php?page=post&s=add"
5. OH SHIT, IT DOESN'T FUCKING WORK.

Needless to say, shit JavaScript code and a convoluted process which only hackers on steroids can handle constructs an environment that is not very Web 2.0.
