SoyBooru, formerly known as OnionsBooru, is a Soyjak-themed booru officially affiliated with Soyjak.party. Originally created by lolkekkeklmaolmaolmaoxdhaha as a private collection of soyjak images, it opened to the public on August 23, 2021, replacing soybooru.booru.org after the latter was flooded with spam and deleted.

SoyBooru allows users to upload, tag, search for, and comment on images. On February 27, 2026, its original Shimmie2 software was replaced by the Nuuru, which introduced a forum known as the Boorum. SoyBooru also includes user profiles, private and group messaging, and public and private groups. Its virtual currency, Boorubux, can be earned through site activities and spent on cosmetics and other items.

Since opening, SoyBooru has changed ownership several times and experienced closures, vandalism, wipes, and shitflinging between many of its users. Although adjacent to the Sharty, it has developed a culture and community of its own, with prominent namefags, recurring rivalries, and events such as the Italo-Argentine War. Users discuss 'jaks, shitfling, and post bait in gallery comment sections and, since 2026, the Boorum. Because of the non-imageboard format of the site, SoyBooru also has its own forms of soyquoting and samefagging. The site has seen a surge in activity since the introduction of the Nuuru in 2026, and has seen more activity than the Sharty.^{[it just is, ok?]}

Features

Gallery

SoyBooru's modern gallery.

SoyBooru hosts a searchable collection of soyjaks and related images, organized by tags. Users can upload images, edit tags, and leave comments in each post's comment section. Tags allow users to search for particular characters, variants, subjects, details, and other attributes. There are more than 20,000 tags for the gallery.

Uploads are subject to approval from approvers. Posts must relate to soyjaks, soysphere memes, parodies, or memes from 4chan's /qa/ board. NAS is allowed under certain conditions, such as Gigachad being allowed due to being a /qa/ meme.

Users can also filter the gallery by blocking tags they dislike, which hides all posts associated with them. New accounts begin with a default set of blocked tags which hide explicit content and other questionable content. SoyBooru is an adult-only site with certain allowed NSFW content. Users who disable these filters and complain about explicit content are placed in "baby mode", which temporarily restores the explicit-content filters and prevents users from disabling them.

The Artworks section allows users to upload their own original content.

Forum

Main article: Boorum

The Boorum's index page.

SoyBooru's forum, known as the Boorum, launched on February 27, 2026, alongside the Nuuru. The forum is more active than the gallery. Similar to many other online forums, users can create threads and reply to discussions across six categories:

• General & Off-topic (/gen/)
• Blogposting (/blog/)
• News & Politics (/news/)
• Metadiscussion (/meta/)
• Multimedia (/media/)
• Projects (/projects/)

Users can react to forum posts using images known as Nuurumoji, which also serve as "upvotes and downvotes". The same reaction system is used in the gallery. Users have reaction scores based on the reactions they receive. This "reaction economy", along with the forum's focus on namefags, personal drama, and reaction scores has drawn comparisons to the Schlog.

Users can purchase a thread banner in the shop to advertise a forum thread, making it a "Featured thread". Approved banners appear in rotation at the top of the forum index, similarly to the Sharty's banners.

Profiles and messaging

A 'ru user with many badges

Users have profiles displaying their bio, status, user statistics, badges and reaction scores. Profiles can be customized with name colors and decorations purchased with Boorubux. Users can mark others as friends or enemies, marry each other, or become "BFFs" with each other.

Badges indicate account privileges, restrictions, relationships, and weekly awards. Custom badges, available through groups, are user-made and have no official status. A list of known badges can be found below.

Top 10 groups shortly after the feature was introduced in October 2026.

Users may message each other privately, create group chats, or, for a boorubux fee, create a public or private group. Following the shutdown of the IRC, these features are the quickest way to communicate with other 'teens.

Roles

After acquiring the 'ru, Salt hid staff role badges to make staff anonymous, except for approvers and the global administrator. Staff may make anonymous posts with the alias "Staff" in threads, such as when carrying out merge requests.

Boorubux

Main article: Boorubux

Boorubux are SoyBooru's virtual currency, earned through daily "quests" and achievements or received from other trusted users through transfers. They can be spent in the shop on profile cosmetics and items. Users can also gamble boorubux in roulette and slots.

Events and contests

Alongside its growth in activity, SoyBooru saw more organized events and contests in 2026. Broot started Trendy Tuesday and Series Sunday in early 2026. Later, the site's fifth anniversary celebrations were interrupted by the 2026 Soysphere outage, which took the site offline for a day. A lull in organized events followed until September 2026, when the Deathjak contest officially began. Created by Cobblestone, an earlier test run had taken place in July. The first winner of the Deathjak tournament was Busmowerman, who won 3,000 boorubux and a unique hat. A second, Halloween-themed Deathjak contest, titled "Fright Night", began the following month.

Deathjak is the sole organized contest in SoyBooru as of October 2026. The site calendar also marks events, anniversaries, or joke events.

Userbase and culture

(You) browsing SoyBooru

SoyBooru's userbase consists of namefags, and its culture is based on their interactions, extending across the gallery comments, forum threads, and personal blogs. Discussion primarily surrounds soyjaks and the users themselves, with rivalries, shitflinging, and bait being commonplace. With the endless obsessive hatred namefags have for each other, shitoko slopjaks have been a popular way to mock other namefags since 2024. Alongside namefags, anonymous Chudposters on the gallery frequently comment as well, which is often used to falseflag others or post bait anonymously. The gallery also attracts horny NAS posting, mainly through chudposting. Apex predator Chud¹ can be found in many comment sections.

After the site was made adult-only, the Cacacaust resulted in minors being removed from the site, including some of its most obsessed shitflingers, drastically changing the userbase and culture. The addition of the Nuuru and the forum also introduced a whole new dimension for namefags to interact, and obsessively shitfling, with each other.

Comment sections

Average 'ru comments

Gallery comment sections are used to discuss uploaded 'jaks, post bait, and, most commonly, shitfling with other namefags and chuds. ^up arrow quoting is common, used to soyquote one another, typically with slopjaks with speech bubbles. Excessive text formatting, xenophobic slurs and buzzwords brewed from the deepest pits of niggerhell are also commonplace. The 'ru is also known for taking things to the extreme: what a Sharty user might call iron, a boorufag calls antimatter.

Unlike the forum, the gallery allows spam, with users often using scripts to brap out endless copypastas and repeatedly ping prominent namefags.

Shitflinging and rivalries

The most recognizable slopjak of them all

Main article: Shitflinging

Obsessed namefags drag their arguments across gallery comments and forum threads, bringing up old grudges and pulling other users into the shitflinging. Some escalate into wars, such as the Italo-Argentine War or World War OneShot.

One forum thread involving Warrior-Z and several other namefags reached over 96,000 replies.

Baiting and slopjaks

See: Satokofication

'ru users are notorious for being easy to bait. Bait is almost continuously posted to draw replies and gegs out of users who engage in long, obsessed arguments over particular characters, memes, controversial topics, and other users. Sometimes, posts that were not intended to be bait still result in the same phenomenon.

When Satoko edits took off in early 2024, users began a slopjak arms race, competing to make "The Sloppiest Slopjak" by piling on more characters, accessories, and other clutter to make the most incomprehensible slopjak known to soykind. These edits also became ammunition for namefag feuds, with users making new 'jaks to mock whoever they were obsessed with that week.

History

Main article: SoyBooru/Happenings

The first image posted to the 'ru. Go figure.

Acquisition by Soot

Old screenshot of its homepage back when it was called OnionsBooru

Homepage as of January 18, 2022

On September 6, 2021, in an impromptu Q&A in a Sootbait thread on /soy/, Soot revealed that OnionsBooru's owner had transferred ownership to him. He further said that the booru would be moved to his "own domain". On September 7, 2021, the Booru was released to the public once again at the link https://booru.soy. The old link, soyak.win, was made to redirect to the new link. OnionsBooru's former owner, who remained a moderator, changed the "Featured Post" to a CIAjak to commemorate Soot's takeover. It has since been changed to a different 'jak. For the duration of the booru's time on its old domain, the Featured Post remained the Swedish "first soyjak".

The site was later acquired by Kuz as a part of the Great Purchase. Kuz, however, did not run the website, and Soot continued to own the domain until September 25.

Later on, the administrator of SoyBooru left the site following Kuz stepping down from Party leadership. This caused Doll to take over.

Closure and revival

SoyBooru's old front page

January 14, 2022

Soyjak.party was shut down by the hosting provider due to CSAM reports. This resulted in many users going to the booru and spamming it with unrelated NAS images. A few hours later, Soyjak.party went back up and all the NAS spam was deleted.

January 15, 2022

A day later, the entire booru was wiped except for one Chudjak image. The reason why or how this happened is unknown. This resulted in SuBooru becoming the main booru for soyjaks until it shut down in March 26, 2022.

December 4, 2022

SoyBooru later closed again on December 4, 2022 due to a large vandalism attack. This closure was prolonged due to the admin not having too much time to work on it. SoyBooru reopened, along with some infrastructure upgrades, on December 10, 2022.

August 14, 2023

Lolkek wipes the entire booru, demotes everyone, and posts one tranime picture along with the tag "soicucks_lost." This user then commented the following:

"I've become more spiritual in the last year and I do believe that the creation of this site is an unforgivable sin. I'm sorry, please forgive me... DEATH TO AM*RIKA"

Froot's opinion on the 'ru

Later, all posts with Cobson were restored, the logo was changed to a smiling Cobson, and the counter was replaced by four images of Cobson with a large gape. It was renamed to CobsonBooru everywhere, except on the frontpage under the logo, where the previous name remained.

Then it came back to its normal state, and shortly after that, said Cobby changes were reverted. Lolkek made another post with the same tranime picture and comments that he had a full backup of the site shortly before he nuked it.

Shortly afterwards, the site was entrusted to Angeleno. Everything after July 27th was lost due to lolkek ghosting Angeleno's requests for the data.

August 17, 2023

Leaked audio from SoyBooru's mods' private Discord server

On August 17, 2023, the booru was wiped AGAIN with the same tranime image, but this time with the caption:

>bint won

>tenshi earth won.

It's posted by an account named 34iramqi34, who commented under it:

>omgomg first pirty naw dis..how sameful how truly SHAEMFUKUK o dear ppl who like man who um wears glasses n liek beard his beard looks um unorganized n stuffs but um um but um yes iem thinking this is bade this place u see its so goner how sade how truly sade well u hav lambda naw lole n liek um yes i like bint n stuufs thamk u

-34iramqi34

After this happened, a comment from Angeleno's account was posted:

>SoyBooru will disappear for good. Thank you for the good memories.

>its over
>Dear Soyjak Enthusiasts,
>It is with a heavy heart that we must inform you about the closure of our beloved SoyBooru. This decision was not made lightly, and we understand that it may bring disappointment to many of you who have been part of this vibrant community.
>Over the years, we've shared countless laughs, creative expressions, and memorable moments through the world of Soyjak images. It brought us joy to witness the camaraderie and wit that flourished within our community. However, recent events, including the shutdown of "soyjak.party" and the unforeseen consequences that followed, have led us to this difficult decision.
>We regret to acknowledge that the charm and fun that initially united us seem to have waned. The unique dynamics that made Soyjaks a source of delight have been affected, and we believe it's in the best interest of our community to close this chapter.
>Please understand that this decision wasn't taken lightly. We treasure the memories and connections we've built together, and it's our hope that you remember the laughter and creativity that once flourished within our community. We encourage you to keep those positive memories alive and continue sharing your creative spirit in other spaces.
>We thank each and every one of you who contributed to our community, who shared your talents, and who made Soyjaks a part of your online experience. We hope that you find new avenues to express your creativity and connect with like-minded individuals.
>Unfortunately due to high running costs, lack of interest, and Doll leaving the site behind, there's not much of a reason left to keep it running.
>While this chapter is coming to a close, let's remember the good times we had and the shared moments of laughter that defined our journey. Thank you for being a part of our SoyBooru community.
With gratitude and fond memories,
>-Angeleno

This wasn't actually 'leno, his account was accessed by Lolkek since he wuz admin and could see people's passwords and logins.

It was later confirmed that lolkek had a sleeper account on the booru called "nineveh". The 'ru has been restored again and lolkek is banned. Now, Quote, Soysneed, and Jubille are the only administrators of the site.

December 15, 2024

The site was in a read-only mode for anons due to sieges from der 'cord and tag vandalizations. People without accounts couldn't post comments, upload, or tag posts. It was reopened shortly after the 'cordpedos were absolutely BTFO'd by Doll and Warrior-Z.

April 25, 2025

Screenshot of SoyBooru after an XSS exploit was used to apply a 4chan theme

An XSS exploit involving BBCode formatting in the comment section was found. The person who discovered this exploit used it to inject Javascript that applied a 4chan theme to the site.

The site was taken offline within a few minutes and came back up 3 hours later with the exploit patched.

May 7, 2025

9a0c announced that the booru was "broken", with the site going down. A looped 'ru refugee thread was created in /qa/. Even though it could have been a coverup for an unknown agency taking over the site.

November 12, 2025

Former SoyBooru developer and moderator Jubille was banned by Warrior-Z and Soysneed. Mustard also joined the Booru as "custard".

Statistics

The first stats graph released by Mustard.

Since August 2026, Mustard has released dashboard screenshots to show activity insight on SoyBooru. The site saw relatively little activity during January and February 2026 before activity rose sharply from March onward, following the launch of the Nuuru. Between January 1 and August 30, SoyBooru had a total of 4,155,516 contributions averaging approximately 17,172 per day. The busiest day in this period was April 15, with 75,867 posts and comments. This is presumably due to the spam war that occurred after Supreme's promotion.

The daily average was higher during August 8-September 6, reaching approximately 21,499 contributions, with 644,972 across the 30-day period. Its busiest day was August 29, with 44,819 contributions.

Activity slowed down during September 9-October 8, and the daily average declined to 15,930, around 25.9% below the August-September average. The site saw 477,903 public contributions during this period, comprising 317,369 gallery uploads and forum posts, and 160,534 gallery comments. The busiest day was October 8, with 21,328 contributions.

Active users and registrations

The 'ru averaged around 360 active users per day between January 1 and August 30, 2026. This rose to 493 during August 8-September 6, before falling slightly to 474 during September 9-October 8. During August 8-September 6, SoyBooru recorded 1,404 distinct active users, 941 registrations, and 304 users making their first gallery or forum post. During September 9-October 8, the figures fell to 1,273 active users, 710 registrations, and 214 first-time contributors. The number of returning contributors fell from 918 to 890.

User retention

SoyBooru defines a retained user as someone who posts, comments, or sends a private message during a 30-day window beginning at a specified milestone after registration. For example, 90-day retention measures activity during the 30-day window beginning 90 days after signup.

On September, retention rates were approximately 33% at 30 days, 20.8% at 90 days, 13.5% at 180 days, and 7.4% at 365 days. The later dashboard accompanying the September 9-October 8 statistics showed rounded rates of 34%, 21%, 15%, and 8%, respectively.
