definitely, focusing on it would prove why sticking with DA as the only site for sharing art doesn´t seem like the best idea because said problems of seeing an amalgamation of pictures cluttered with thumbnails of different sizes, unrelated pictures to the tags, users not tagging their pictures properly (even though this problem isn´t exclusive of Deviantart)...
it´s wise to use a sample of pictures that I know and this would liven up quite a bit the thread as well as delivering something that you don´t tend to see very often. As you claim here...
>Don't overwork yourself, this is just a test run for a very niche subject... this task is meant to fill up the thread in case that we stay stagnant and nothing really interesting pops up. So, this whole test is raised so we can a have a to-do list for engaging ourselves. Maybe if I did this and I turned out to be right, Deviantart could ban Endchan for criticizing its interface
Why haven´t I started yet? Besides time and tedious stuff for it, not to mention that the process and approach could turn out to be completely skewed (turning out to be mostly useless and amateurish)...
>unless this means more work down the line if you don't I have also had to deal with personal stuff recently (with a very unsteady process along the way)[/spoiler] and I am still looking for more pictures to register until the UI system cannot provide any new/obscure images. I think that the material should be saved first and foremost; and then, analyze the subject area with a more laid back approach. The number might increase and the results also vary greatly if you search different terms: seapony; sea_pony; sea,pony; sea, mlp.... and even for characters (the mane 6 for example), this pattern applies to them as well (whether you write the name altogether in one single word or separated with an underscore, you don´t see the same pictures)
I am not going to put it at the top of my preferences but it´s worth considering because I have mostly memorized the pictures that pop up with these tags and there aren´t all that many in comparison with pictures of the princesses or the main characters. In comparison with those, this delivers a feasible amount of images for checking out the pictures that either appear or not in one single search.
