A Pool Listing

Posted under General

There are currently 88 pages of pools, and there's no way to specifically search for which pools are for doujins, which are public, which are for specific image sets, etc. Having a feature to categorize pools would be nice, but I don't see it happening any time soon...

So, I'm thinking of listing all existing, established pools that are free for anyone to add non-specific content to. I figure comic pools and such are already diligently being handled by the content uploaders anyway. Not sure where to put this list for now (howto:pools? or a new page?), but gathering a list of pools to include would be a start at least.

Before we begin, is there already something like this that I've missed?

Currently excluding: comic/doujinshi sets (ex: any random touhou comic, anything with "doujin" in the title), image sets by a single artist (ex: pool #833), private pools that would otherwise fit (ex: pool #280), pools about to get nuked by forum #12295. Anything else?

It'd be nice to have color indicators feature for pools, such as:
- Green for doujin or image sequence.
- Yellow for artbook (ex: pool #2127) and game CG collection (ex: pool #2136).
- Red for themed pool (such as pool #2020), doesn't matter if all the images are by the same artist or not.

Just an idea, I don't know if it's possible to make. About making a pool list, supposed it's done, someone would have to keep an eye on the newly created ones and update the list. More works...

Built-in functionality would be ideal, of course. Especially if you could selectively browse different types (ie: having a checkbox for doujin, image sequence, comic, theme, etc.).

I suppose one way to manage the list would be to have people post in this thread whenever they feel a pool should be added. The pool will then either be added to the list or deleted via forum #12295. If the idea catches on, then the threads could probably be merged as a Pool Maintenance thread.
