"Get Danbooru Gold" button doesn't work.

Is there any benefit to leaving this thread unlocked? It just seems to be a place for users to register the same complaints and ask about buying other's accounts at this point. If there were any important updates, they would be made by someone who would be able to unlock the thread and let us know. I do like the tips on getting Builder status, but they probably deserve their own thread.

Yes. Locking this thread won’t stop the complaints. If there isn’t a thread for complaints, people will create new ones. It’s better to channel all complaints into this thread instead.

Okay, that makes sense. I was suspecting it may have been something like that. Thank you.

An absolutely terrible idea. Members don't have access to certain Gold+ tools for a reason.

I can understand loli/shota stuff not being public and limited compute time for searches, but is there a legitimate reason to paywall things like searching more than two tags or making favorites private? Those both seem totally arbitrary, but I'm not deeply involved with the site so I don't really know.

I wish gold was available, I got over the 2 tags only thing pretty quickly but what I wanted most was to see art from a certain time like the early 2000's that just isn't really anywhere else. This sucks, I hope its available in the future.

you can search id:<1000000 to find posts exclusively from the first years of danbooru.

Or order:id to start at the beginning and continue towards the present.

and those searches don't count towards the limit of 2 tags search

why is this still a thing for like a year-long already lmaooooo

Pretty sure they are not looking for a payment option anymore it's not looking good.

Coming from an e6 user, it does boggles my mind that I can put several tags in the e6 engine without requiring a membership. I can understand supporting danbooru, I mean, it's honestly a great art archive... But goddamn, I just wish I could refine my searches is all. This gold membership issue just makes me sad.

So i want to know when there will be an alternative solution.

There won't be till this site can't pay for it's maintenance cost then they might find a alternative option. 🤦‍♀️

The id: and date: searches don't but order:id (and other order: searches) do count towards the tag limit.

If there's issues with payment due to NSFW, couldn't Danbooru just use the same payment system that Nutaku and other NSFW sites use? (I believe it's called Probiller)

thank you guys. still wish i could buy gold to make it easier on searching with tags :')

When there's an update on this situation, where would one be able to be notified about it? I've wanted to buy gold for some friends for a while now.

I would expect users to be flipping out about it both here on the forums and on Discord.
