I find it hard to believe that this is the last post from e6ai before its announced closure :-(

I don't want this to end 😢

Why?
Just what happened?

Future seems pretty dark. Tho there is this guy on the forums saying he's been (vibe)coding a booru in the last months that's supposed to scrape every post on this site, with tags n' all. Maybe that's worth looking into? Should be done in a few days, or at least he says so.

"Ai art isn't stealing" lol

Good artists will copy. Great artists will steal.

Hate that I'm gonna lose access to Tempting's stuff because site shut down

astronomix said:
Imagine being such a miserable POS that you have to put down others for pursuing art, just because they don't do it the same way you do.

Ai art isnt stealing. Educate yourself before following crowd sentiment.

"Ai art isn't stealing" lol

It brings me great pleasure to see a gto vr4 1st gen on a website like this

Where can I find the artist?

auykac said:
Such an unfortunate thing to happen, hopefully they come to some terms and decide to keep it open. :/

I appreciate the support from my images over the years and will still periodically upload in the E6AI discord.

Oh you can bet terms will be found at any cost or interest, like Jack Sparrow jumping from one "unsinkable aircraft carrier" to another.

Hopefully the UI will be copy-and-paste like the sinking one since it's the only reason I see people come back

Outside of that and one other thing, not much else to expect to be different

I guess I'm a bit cynical. But isn't it funny, "furry artists" waging a little war against AI in their back yard?

These aren’t furry artists. They’re Luddites.

chastitycoyote said:
Well, logically the thing will end anyway, just nicer if its the natural conclusiom instead of like my for now dead pool as we see if theres a solution soon.

We can just blame it on the Saluki

You mean this guy? Yeah, he's very culpable.

What about on Rule34? They allow AI content.

Rule34 is for rule34 aka material one's meant to jerk off to. Although there's lewd stuff in much of the comic, my focus is on the goofs. I don't consider whether it's hot at all, which reflects in e6ai's upvotes that heavily prioritize porn starring a human_male.
Oglaf, a well made comic which also technically has porn in it, doesn't get a whole lot of attention from r34 despite having novel jokes and being from an actual artist. Something like that but AI-generated and with pictographic dialogue that needs deciphering would basically be ignored. Don't know if sfw pictures such as post #188194 would be allowed on there either, nor why I would even bother the masturbating userbase by uploading them.
Also I'd really rather not contribute to the 3.6 million (Jesus Christ) AI images clogging up their servers.

What about on pawbooru.org?

I checked the site a couple months ago. The latest posts had five (5) pages of one guy posting the same novafurry prompt and seed with only the character tag changed, and they weren't uploaded that same day either meaning it wasn't just someone catching the mods sleeping. The images were clean enough to go up on e6ai but I don't see why I would bother browsing through a place like that, especially considering it's poorly optimized and with a clunky design. My browser hardware acceleration is off to save a GB or two of VRAM, and the site stutters heavily when scrolling.
Also they have a special section in the rules that says "extreme content like pregnancy may or may not be deleted dunno if i feel like it tee hee :P". Might as well put up a sign banning me specifically.

It's not a "drama", it the dissolution of a e-community built around a common interest in an age of obliteration of the sheer notion of IRL community. I'm definitely confident another AI furry booru will pop-up somewhere anytime soon. It just will not be e6ai.

I'll look into it and wait to see if any new updates regarding the shutdown of e6ai come up.

cookieq said:
Can you make a community that is not on discord? Dont want to give them my phone number, maybe fluxer or revolt? I want to keep up with the community when the site is down😭

I originally created the Discord because the upload guidelines here were so strict and I wanted to share all of my gens. I'll keep posting most of my work on Discord for now, but I'll also look for alternative sites once e6ai goes offline.
For anyone not on my Discord, I'll post updates in the comments here as soon as I have a plan for the future! ^^

For now I'm probably going to pawbooru. I have some stuff on beferal also. Not necessarily under my name, because you know, you don't always want to be associated with your stuff all across the internet ;).

What's beferal? I can't find anything online

thank you for all the great posts namsi! you are in my top 3 favorite directors on here if not my most favorite! i will miss your polar bear gals. wish you, and everyone else on this site the best! farewell my friends 😭 ❤

Wow theh drama! In a few years it won't matter either way. Keep the GPUs running, anons!

It's not a "drama", it the dissolution of a e-community built around a common interest in an age of obliteration of the sheer notion of IRL community. I'm definitely confident another AI furry booru will pop-up somewhere anytime soon. It just will not be e6ai.

The only way this site would be saved is if somebody or a group of people offered to buy the site.

Can't we at least just archive the site?

leeto said:
Basically impossible. Inkbunny requires metadata in such a way that large, multi-part, inpaint-heavy pieces are impossible to upload there. I would need to provide metadata for basically every one of my thousands of inpaints per piece.

And IB's full of pedo stuff, so I have little desire to be associated with it.

E621 has exactly the same "pedo stuff" (even had loli and shota for most of its history), SoFurry did until very recently (until Toumal moved to Canada), and you had no issues posting there. I don't get this attitude. Inkbunny's idea is freedom of expression, that's why it allows cubs, AI and everything else. "Don't post things I don't like" is the exact reason e6ai is getting killed. I think it's important to learn to coexist, especially when blacklisting is supported and tagging rules are strict. A lot of users on Inkbunny block cubs and weird fetishes, a lot block AI.

As for the metadata requirements for AI posts, you only need to provide your initial generations (the images you use as a base) and metadata for them, as long as pieces of them are recognizable in the final image. Considering how much effort you put into every image, the extra work of extracting metadata from initial generations will probably be a small addition. There're tools available to help with this (I wrote one), and if you face any problems, the AI community on Inkbunny will help - it's been dealing with these rules for a long time.

Also, the AI community on Inkbunny needs you as an argument in the debate on rules. :) The case of "thousand inpaints" remains theoretical if nobody on the site actually does that, so having someone who does would help the case.

But yeah, this announcement turbo blows. This place was actually great, and honestly I'm gonna miss it.
I hope someone else takes up the torch and hosts either a copy of this site, or atleast a spiritual successor with similar quality standards. One of the best things about this site is that everything on it is PEAK quality. Sorry to the artists/creators/directors, pick your word flavor, that it has burned over the short years because of those standards though.

Thank you to everyone who's contributed to the site in your own way. Whether you were a creator, a part of moderation team, an active voice in the community, or just another quiet lurker, like me, lol.
Thank you, to everyone who was a part of this silly website while it was here. <3

fluffscaler said:
Just an FYI but posting thinly veiled artist hate and conspiracies justifying it in a roundabout way are part of the reason no one likes AI and it's proponents and are only proving them right on every front. The fact that e6ai existed in the first place, by the same people that made a regular art booru, was always a double edged sword and the fact it survived for as long as it did is honestly a miracle. A lotta people could use being a bit more mindful of the tools they are using, and especially of the artists they are literally prompting.

Thank you for the sane words idk why nobody is being respectful here

This is the last post of her - on this site :C. Really cute cheetah! And you have really nice generations!

peinferd said:
I also think part of the reason is that people are leaving e621 and moving to e6AI. Speaking from my own experience, before e6AI came along, I was on e621 almost every day. Once e6AI launched, I switched over there, and now I only check e621 about once a month.

Same.Nothing can stay the same forever. E621 is for me a site from the past. I'll check it mostly for the webcomics and some artists I've following for years, but not for new art any more.

Yeah... There have been so many plans for this site, but THIS happens all of a sudden. It's very sad. I'm going to miss all of you guys.

unf, i would wreck that!! <3

This is... I have no words, well done 👏

What are the settings, model, and loras? This is really good.

This is just 3wolfmondai. No LORAs. On the previous Krystal post I used Red-fox-the-real-one-epoch12. It's very hit and miss on results though. I run locally using comfyui. And of course, some manual touch ups in GIMP. Especially with slit pupils one of the eyes usually gets messed up.

With the site closing, do you post anywhere else?

Darnit, I was going to post something today, but, guess I won't get to!

Oh well, off to other pastures and all that weird nostalgic digital glitz!

What about on pawbooru.org?

For real! I almost had the final pages ready for posting too! Oh well, I'll get them out there one way or another. Hope to see you on the other sites, ZooLoup! Thanks again for all your amazing comments! Will try my best to get everything over to the other sites soon!

Dang. That was quick. Can I view your content without an account?

Well to view civit red nsfw content you need to at least be logged in, that is it I think, no sub or anything. I'll prolly keep posting raw gens for prompt saving to later post if a new site like e6ai pops up or whatever happens. So M4lly and other things will be civit atm.

Time for e6ai not anymore :(

Yeah... very unfortunate...

Make sure to download any while you can or want!

What other websites are there? We need to choose one and all move to it. Maybe PawBooru?

Well, some of his posts not at all to my tastes, but I respect his output and dedication to the gens and he had some good stuff too, as well as charas and franchises no one else would touch. I wont belittle him for any of it. Just glad it was something other for the last post thats more pedestrian 8-)

Wish you well, Boxen - and all who have contributed here.

It’s a shame that something so beautiful has to come to an end. It’s truly sad. I’ve built up a collection of 3,000 desktop wallpapers—all thanks to the folks here. I absolutely love AI-generated art; compared to it, things like photos of nature or other such subjects just seem completely dull. I have no desire to go back to the kind of artwork found on e621, either. I don’t know of any alternatives. I’m glad I saved everything—I’ll be spending time going through the files I have stored on my drives.
Thank you, everyone! This is a very sad moment.

God im going to miss these

Since theres no e6ai group on telegram is anyone interested in helping me set one up? I can create super groups on there that allows the use of topics which are basically separate chats within a chat and I know how to make communities to link multiple groups up so they can all be located here's a link if interested
https://t.me/+s45ljYGKPLtjMmM5

Will you be storing all the artwork from this site there, or is it just for creators to post their own creations? Anyway, I wish you luck and hope some good AI content site will appear!

this was one of my favorite comics on this site. thank you

wowie 200 posts and this was the last one

For whom it concerns, you can check my slop out at https://t.me/aisloppylite (take the lite out for the harder stuff), there's 600+ images of pure realistic furslop

Glad we got to see this cutie before the site's death... just look at those eyes, man

Thank you very much. Those lovely eyes grabbed me, too. :)

If somehow the site doesn't go down or is resurrected, I'll post far more. Barring that, I'll start posting on PawBooru.

Nice work, i like your gens
Do you have some discord server or telegram group for following you?
I asking because e6ai will shutting down in 8 days :c

Anywhere else to follow your stuff since this is getting shut down?

Edit: sorry, just saw your other post going over this. Sad to see this go. I liked a lot of what people posted here, but your comic was some of my favorite stuff because of the laughs it also brought. Also, always appreciate some twokinds in the mix. You dont get much good twokinds on regular e6.

If Anonymous Director could do a last post it could be a reveal of the hyena face.

Glad i have had a habit of saving everything that caught my eye. Hinestly i farm more from here tuan regular e6, i only hit the popular page on it. Honestly its some bs, its a whole seperate site, they shouldn't care what happens elsewhere. Kveral due to the high standards, the art is generally nice here vs the steaming piles of soulless slop elsewhere where they don't even put effort into making something nice or consistant characters. This week blows... and not the fun way.

So long, and thanks for all the fish gens!

I’m heading to pawbooru.org—where are you all going now?

Nothing like having an exciting work day.

Just my type. Bunnies in undies is one of my favorite things💖

Anyone have a new home for us?

I am a little late here, I could'nt post my latest images.. well, as this is the last post on this site, I would like to apologize for my lack of posts, life has been a little hard with me lately, I also want to thank everyone for the support here.. if you who liked what I posted here, you can search my name on discord, or somewhere else on the Internet.. well, end of e6ai before gta 6

Can't edit the post anymore so I will post it here.

Since they just announced that we are no longer able to upload, this will be my last post here and your last chance to join. There are also some other great directors posting over on Discord as well.
Even though the site had very strict upload rules and some of my posts ended up getting deleted, I still had a lot of fun on the platform and got to meet some amazing people along the way. I want to thank everyone who enjoyed my gens!
To any director who is losing their main posting platform with this shutdown, my Discord is always open for you if you can't find anywhere else to post. For anyone else, I really hope you find a new home for your work, and I wish you all a bright and happy future.
Goodbye to everyone!

Try looking at it from a different angle: perhaps this will push more people towards other platforms, places where users and creators are treated with the respect they deserve, where the rules actually make sense, and where the staff know how to behave like rational, decent human beings. As far as I'm concerned, I won't be mourning the loss of this place. I mourn the tens of hours I wasted because of it.

Nice animation though :))

Yup, because a few people would simply get their toes in an uproar if they were even the slightest messed up.
