The Boorum,[1] also called the Broom, is the official Sharty forum and the spiritual successor to the Schlog. It was developed and released as a part of the Nuuru, a full rewrite of SoyBooru, and uses its own in-house engine.
Organization
[edit | edit source]The site is entwined with SoyBooru and shares accounts with it. The forum is broadly organized into the following categories:
- General & Off-Topic
- Blogposting
- News & Politics
- Metadiscussion
- Multimedia
- Projects
History
[edit | edit source]The site was released on February 26, 2026, as part of a full rewrite of SoyBooru[2] named the Nuuru.
On March 5, 2026 Broot and Catter were assigned to be head administrators for the forum.
As March progressed, more changes and features would be added, notable ones being profile backgrounds on users' posts and post IDs.
On March 25, the "Enemies and Friends" feature was added to the booru as well as the Boorum, which allowed users to bookmark the people with whom they shitfling or with whom they're best pals!
April 2026
[edit | edit source]A spam war between Warrior-Z and Supreme took place within a thread that spans more than four thousand replies due to Supreme being promoted to approver.[3]
In late April, two users roder4 and MACARONI would spam the 'ru with the following: "roder4" and "snca" respectively, and despite being gimmick accounts they would become the most popular namefags of the month, with immense seethe towards MACARONI in particular. This is known as the April 2026 Boorum crisis.
Admincaust

Following disagreements and controversies between admins, all but Mustard were demoted from their position.
Salt takeover
[edit | edit source]Salt would eventually obtain ownership of the Boorum on August 21, 2026, making the rules identical to those of the Sharty and anonymizing all staff.
Archiving
[edit | edit source]Similar to the Schlog in its heyday, archiving the Boorum is incredibly hard, as due to Cloudflare, most archiving services don't work or are displayed in a nearly unusable state. Jannies have yet to fix this.
