Shimmie2

Shimmie2 is an open source booru software written in PHP that is best known for being used by SoyBooru from its inception on August 3, 2021, up until February 27, 2026, when it was replaced by with the current software, dubbed the nuuru.
Anybody banned from soybooru before nuuru will have the block message "Migrated from Shimmie (blocked)". This is because the shimmie didnt have a ban reason system
Main features
[edit | edit source]- Like any proper booru, it has a tagging system, where users can append descriptive tags to uploaded images. (e.g. cobson_(HWABAG)).
- It has a very robust extension system. It has a core system, which handles the basic necessary functions (such as tags and post uploading), and almost everything else such as comments, user registration, forums is dependent on separate extensions.
- It's very lightweight and performant.[it just is, ok?]
Splinter
[edit | edit source]The Shimmie was NOT a splinter, though the name would suggest otherwise. The simple explanation for the "Migrated from Shimmie" ban message is simply due to the laziness of jannies and a lack of ability to accurately catalogue and transfer ban reasons without grueling effort. Some people have claimed that it was a short-lived splinter site of the Jarty, with some claiming the site had confirmed ties to people such as ████, ███████ ███████, and even ██. This, however, has been thoroughly debunked by Snopes. The URL for the shimmie is dead, since it never existed in the first place.

YOU WILL NOT INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER ANY FURTHER.
