*_(pixiv#####) aliases

Posted under General

Maybe kotetsu_(popeethe), it's a combination of his pixiv username and his email address. Normally I wouldn't condone something like this but for people who love to rotate through display names, it's probably best to ignore the display name.

Speaking of which, is anyone aware of any way to find pixiv artists by their usernames, from within the pixiv UI? I've run recently into some artists with no profile links and only expired post links, and was completely unable to find their profile. I went through several of the search options they have there, but none seemed to take the username into account.

God, I hate pixiv.

Well, saucenao.com recently added a "Pixiv Images" database to their list of databases. Although that'll probably only help in two cases: 1) artist removes a picture then uploads it again, effectively changing the URL to the picture; or 2) someone posts a Pixiv picture to Danbooru without a proper source URL.

Well, I meant the artist themselves as opposed to any particular post. Though I guess changing URLs are also a use-case. I don't know really how many of the broken pixiv source URls are just moved as opposed to removed permanently.

youta -> youta_(yorita) or simply yorita (his pixiv nickname)

That's because there is new pixiv artist called youta (should be tagged as artist in post #579442)

"Youta" is an official eroge illustrator with a good amount of posts here, so it's probably better to add a precision to the latter, which I did (with the circle name, which is preferred). It looks like the previous Pixiv images of the latter Youta were mistakenly tagged to shinjou_ryou, whom he has collaborated with but has a different Pixiv account (fixed them on the Pixiv side, but it seems that they share a blog).
