Closed registration
If anyone is still lurking, do you remember when/why registration was closed? I've noticed a lot of other boorus also have closed registration. If possible, is it worth thinking about reopening? I don't plan on leaving anytime soon, but I won't be around forever and am concerned about future deliveries not being uploaded without any other frequent uploaders.

Registration is closed by booru.org owner due to either spam bots or loli/shota content or both. I think only The /co/llection owner can try to appeal it.

One of the admins could go to booru.org's forum and request to take over, I've seen others do it. Maybe Blarg?

madadayo created this booru, gave no one else mod powers AFAIK, and according to google disappeared from chanboards in August 2016. The lockout of registrations predates this date.

At one point we had more pictures of Grieve-tan than of Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, Wonder Woman and possibly Panda Delgado. We never had a formal rule against OCs but many booru-type sites do; one day an unknown member went rogue on a deletion spree that purged hundreds of images if not thousands and madadayo responded by kicking them out and closing registration instead of unchecking "Remove" from the default group's privileges. It's even possible madadayo didn't notice the preference exists and thought you couldn't have upload privs without remove privs. For example, I run nandroid.booru.org (to keep this one from getting clogged) and while I leave registration open, the default group doesn't have remove privs in order to keep similar drama from occurring.

There's a protocol for requesting a transfer of booru ownership; I'm going to request it for myself (as one of the oldest members here) and assuming they grant it, make Blargarg a mod able to do at least 90% of the site mod short of deleting the booru. If they grant it and I don't hold up my end of the bargain, overthrow me; it's conceivable they'll look at Blargarg's activity and just switch it over to them instead: https://the-collection.booru.org/index.php?page=forum&s=view&id=41#170

Registration has been reopened, and new users are only able to delete their own posts.
