According to the site's FAQ on "Why 'The Permanent Booru'?":

• The 'Permanent' part is taken from two factors.

One being this site was developed as an alternative to the deterioating booru e621.net. With the e621.net staff being trigger happy on the nuke button, this site is an actual attempt at archiving everything furry. Permanently.
The other factor is with the use of IPFS and it's data location permanency. Once a files url is known, it will never not be there!

i also found a github grab, which states:

• An ipfs booru originally created to rehost content banned from e621, although it also mirrors a lot of content from non-furry boorus like danbooru, sankakucomplex, or even direct sources such as pixiv.

i'm guessing the reasons why we ban the stuff they aimed at rehosting caught up to them (either that or just instable servers idk)

pretty much e621, but way better

yeah... it's always nice if website owners ignore copy right 👍^{_{this was sarcasm}}

The site is temporarily offline. The admin said on the site's wall, before it went out, that it would be down from a week to a month.

While I don't agree with a lot of things this site does, including thinking they go way too far with deletions, TPB goes too far in the other direction.

Making yourself unable to delete content is just begging for 4chan to upload their CP photo collections. And even if that's somehow not a problem that they're facing, they have zero focus on exactly what they're trying to host.

To be fair, their deletion policy has gotten this site quite far, considering the quality of the worst images here (like, artistic, and compression, not what said image contains, not here for that debate) is FAR better (or at least, on par) than the average content you see elsewhere, like FA. Even if it does get deleted, the sources remains and you can go find it there (except when it gets nuked out of orbit, but they don't seem to use that unless its a legitimate legal issue, only 13,295 posts have ever been nuked, which is 0.36% of images ever posted here)

On another note, the tagging system is amazing here, probably the best I've ever seen... anywhere, except libraries... but that's like comparing apples to oranges.

My favorite part of this site is the whole "if you dislike it ignore it" thing. And discussing about how porn should be categorized and defined is quite a fun thing to read and do.

So much for permanent

LOL, I thought it was one of those Sad Panda things. Banned topic on E-H's IRC. Because pandas are never sad, according to the channel bot. :D See also: First rule of Fight Club

Seriously though, how is this any different than any other distributed file system?
Isn't their server just providing hashes? I.E. An index like Google? Aren't the actual files stores on users' HDD's?
