An [[Image Booru]] is a new{{when}} breed of [[Image Boards]] and is essentially a tag-based image archive. Most are based loosely around anime. Because the idea is still relatively new{{when}} there are not that many of them around compared to, say, forums or more traditional imageboards. The name is derived from [[Danbooru]], the first booru. These sites cater to those who want the [[Pixiv]] experience, but don't feel like sifting through Japanese or inconsistent tagging. A very large majority of the images you see on boorus came from [[Pixiv]] first.
Danbooru got its name from the Japanese word ''Danbo-ru'', meaning 'cardboard box.' It was originally coded and administrated by rq. The site got more and more popular, in large part due to rq's lenient policy on mature content, until eventually the site couldn't take the strain anymore and rq pulled the plug.
