Another agreement for keeping the Murata pools, but on the fence about the tags.
Posted under General
At the moment, about 10 of the posts aren't tagged as game_cg (And I can't tell if all 10 should have the tag).
If the pool is intended to include all images that were once static and are now animated (e.g. post #357568), then I see no reason not to keep it.
Hmm, I think it's supposed to be something more specific than that, though I can't word it quite right. I get the impression those cgifs weren't originally gifs. And maybe not all originally game cgs? (Though, really, I'm not sure how widespread I really want these fan-modified images to be. I already consider nude filters of Megami scans and the like to be the absolute nadir of imageboard culture)

Pools are for convenient browsing, tags are for searches.
That actually reminds me of an idea I had a while ago--would it be possible to have searches include pool names as results? Like if I searched for naruko_hanaharu, the pools that include that tag would be listed as results, perhaps as a list on the first result page below the thumbnails or in the left panel (below the Tags).
I think pools are really hard to browse at the moment unless you know what you're looking for, especially if you consider that not everyone always adds artist names when they name pools of series and so on. It's just a really chaotic situation right now and being able to identify a pool by the tags it contains would be great.
Anyway, I also second the notion of a private/invisible pool for personal favorites. I even had one of these pools but deleted it.

The Translation Request Archives pool (pool #509) can be replicated with the simple tag search translation_request date:<2008-08-08; does that make it a pointless pool?
