Wallbase.net can simply be described as a searchable wallpaper database, and it strives to be little more than that. It is powered by an image+metadata scraper which pulls images from 4chan’s /w/, /wg/ and /hr/. Script then takes the raw parsed data (post title, img title, text), does some processing on the images, and indexes everything in a MySQL database.

Additionally, some wallpapers are tagged as NSFW which means they are not suitable for work/school or in any enviornment which doesn’t allow adult-only materials.

The main rule for this website is to keep the images on a certain level of quality. I mean, I don’t allow any child pornography, desktops, hightly offensive etc. wallpapers on wallbase.net, but if you spot any disturbing images, please report them to Yotoon. Thanks!

Oh, and some of the description is originally from 4scrape (the best wallpaper website of its time). If you have any questions or concerns regarding this service, feel free to use the comments section.

The main person behind all of this is Yotoon! – I designed, managed and coded basically everything you see here (except some parts of the scraper program, which is taken from the old 4scrape’s website).

Have fun!
