How do you pronounce Gelbooru? Is it G as in great or J as in jam? Also, is the emphasis on the B as in Camus or the R as in bloomers?


Hard G as in great. The site is named after it's head developer Geltas. The booru is the same as Danbooru. Since it's mock-Japanese the strongest accent is on the first syllable and a weaker accent on the third. GELbooRU.

This assumes a syllabic 'L' that Japanese doesn't have.

Edit: Shit, now that I think about it, That 'L' screwed me up. Danbooru is the Japanese word for cardboard box basically and is a 4 syllable word. DAnBOOru with the strong accent on the first syllable and the weak accent on the third. So I guess (if we assume a syllabic 'L') then it's GElBOOru.

The "bo" is pronounced like the weapon, but twice as long. It's also correct to pronounce it Gel-bow-o-ru - the "bo" and "o" are actually separate syllables, they just flow together into a diphthong when spoken quickly.

Not going to happen. Our database program/structure doesn't allow for this. The only way to change your username is to make a new account. If you don't want your old account just stop using it.

Will my old, inactive account be deleted after a while? or can i request for its deletion?

As Jedi said, accounts cannot be deleted. We literally can't even do it with a direct database query because of foreign key constraints.

Still not ok.

Well, then that should be worked on. Surely there is a way to change that.

There isn't a way to change it without a very in-depth restructuring of the entire database schema. Since Patreon deleted our campaign, we don't actually have any money to pay our backend developer, so work on backend code is progressing at a snail's pace.
