The Heapers' Hangout Tumblr and Heapbooru

Tre · 2012-05-14 23:41:06

So, this is it. Admittedly, it's kind of skimpy right now, but with a bit of fancy theming and members and stuff, we'll have ourselves a Heaperblog.

I guess the Tumblr could either just be like a support feed for site downtime and stuff, which would be boring, but useful, or it could be our dumping ground for cool stuff (both on and off of the forum), which I'd prefer.

If you want to join, PM me your email and I'll add you to the members. (It uses your Tumblr account, so if you have one already, you can just use that email.)

Imipolex G · 2012-05-14 23:49:15

Hope this goes better than Heapbooru.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-05-14 23:51:02

Heapbooru?

Imipolex G · 2012-05-14 23:53:58

A thing that failed.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-05-14 23:55:00

never heard of it.

I blame the martians.

Imipolex G · 2012-05-14 23:56:14

Well, what existed of it is here

Anyway this is irrelevant

Princess Alice · 2012-05-14 23:56:29

Honestly, I think the main reason Heapbooru died is because I never bothered linking to it outside PMs. I had it set for SFW content only and I didn't feel like policing it...

If you wanna give it another chance, though, then here we go: HEAPBOORU

Misery · 2012-05-15 00:08:08

Awesome!

Tre · 2012-05-15 00:23:07

Slightly tweaked title.

Also, I'm currently in the process of uploading my Stuck pictures onto it, if no one minds.

Princess Alice · 2012-05-15 00:26:18

One day I was in #yackfest and they were linking to Omnibooru, so I said something about the Heap needing its own imageboard...at which point Iverum and IllFlower told me that trying to install Danbooru is apparently hell.

So I just went with booru.org...

Imipolex G · 2012-05-15 00:27:24

As I understand it, the idea was to build a collection of any and all Heap-related pictures. SFW, of course.

I liked the idea, but interest was otherwise nonexistent.

Princess Alice · 2012-05-15 00:30:23

I need to find a way to get CHASTITY CHASTITY CHASTITY on there, but I think it's too big to upload as-is...

Tre · 2012-05-15 00:37:08

It's so... plain.

I guess that's the point since it's an imageboard, but still...

Imipolex G · 2012-05-15 00:38:40

Well, how could it be unplainified?

So, anyone wanna volunteer to be a Heapbooru mod?

Delete anything that's NSFW, I guess, though that probably won't be an issue very often...

Yay! Now let me see if I can figure out how to give someone mod powers...

Tre · 2012-05-15 01:15:57

I'll be a mod too.

Because why not.

Imipolex G · 2012-05-15 01:16:47

*uploads a bunch of dirty pictures just to see if the mods can deal with it*

Princess Alice · 2012-05-15 01:18:23

Okay then! squid and Tre are now mods.

...It amuses me that a thread meant to quarantine shitposting has now spawned not only an entire forum, but a Tumblr blog, an imageboard, and a Twitter feed.

Twitter?? What's the Twitter feed here?

Tre · 2012-05-15 01:29:14

http://twitter.com/heapershangout

It ain't much now but I'll make it point to our Tumblr.

Justice4243 · 2012-06-23 20:30:06

Heapbooru is now my personal play-ground.

My, shitty, shitty, personal play-ground.

This place was meant to quarantine shitposting?

Oh my God, it's like I stumbled upon paradise. Welcome home, Shitposter Supreme, where the quotes are always empty and the threads dead on arrival

Justice4243 · 2012-06-23 20:45:18

That's sorta it. Originally "The Trash Heap of the TV Tropes forum" was a...well... forum on TV Tropes. That was intended to quarantine shit-posts, but oddly enough, a small community of us started treating it more as a very silly mega-thread.

I think THIS fora got made on a lark and eventully people who where tired of TV Tropes drama started posting here and made it their home.

But, we took all our silliness with us and hence we get things like "Dumbest Post Wins" (A.K.A "The best thread EVAR!") and what have you.

Corporal Forsythe · 2012-06-23 20:56:09

Oh okay

I was wondering what the relationship was with here and TV Tropes

Justice4243 · 2012-06-23 20:58:26

The vast, VAST majority of us are Tropers or ex-Tropers.

You're actual something of an anomaly.

Imipolex G · 2012-06-23 20:58:53

LONG HISTORY

SKIP IF DESIRED

Circa March of 2010, there were a lot of complaints on the TVT fora about people shitposting in "serious" threads. So troper Glenn Magus Harvey made a thread called "The Trash Heap of the TV Tropes Forum" where everyone could shitpost to their heart's content. Instead, it turned into a chat thread for a small group of regulars, with a higher tolerance for silliness and nonsense than is usual.

Roughly a year later, Anonymous User (a.k.a. Anonus) went and made this forum as a spinoff, and over time it actually became popular.

So yeah. The official purpose of this forum is to say a lot of random nonsense.

They'd clearly be the goatee wearing world.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-06-24 02:18:11

There better be an absolutely amazing explanation for this.

Justice4243 · 2012-06-24 02:20:33

I think you where there for it's creation. Vshao was saying random stuff.

On such random thing was "Andrew W.K." so I Googled up a picture and posted it.

Next, she said "Garfield" so I Googled up a picture of his face and pasted it on the picture of Andrew W.K.

It was too perfect not too...

Salix Babylonika · 2012-06-24 02:22:37

There are entirely too many Homestuck whatsits on here.

*goes about uploading random pictures from my current obsessions*

Salix Babylonika · 2012-06-24 02:26:46

and so it begins

We have skaia.net, putting it on heapbooru would be redundant.

Lazuli: you may be interested to know that of the 43 images currently hosted on Heapbooru, 0 of them depict Homestuck. ;] One image features a tiny squiddle in the background, but that is the only thing. :p

In fairness, there is also the "character select screen" with pictures of Terezi and Vriska avatars, and the Equius "me gusta" in that one picture.

But that's not much Homestuck, really.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-06-24 19:42:19

NONE IS TOO MUCH

MUAHAHAHA I don't even know where I'm going with this.

Tre · 2012-06-24 19:43:37

Maybe it was my Stuck stuff that made it look all Homestucky. Sorry.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-06-24 19:46:07

I don't actually care very much.
