Hah, after skimming a page or two (love the vim-inspired navigation keys, btw) I remembered why I stopped going: tons of random nudity. Nothing like browsing design inspiration at work and having NSFW content show up.

Wow, you weren't kidding, lol. It's not even subtle or artsy. I guess even the coolest designers can't resist clicking a random image of boobs.

I don't remember there being that much nudity when I used it, but the first image I clicked on right now instantly showed me "related" images where at least 4 or 5 were nude women, and not exactly the artistic expression type, more like straight up porn.

I had a game, where I would click some abstract art on FFFFOUND and see how many clicks it would take me to get to NSFW content through recommendations.

"Oh, look, a 3D-esque triangle! 4 clicks to boobs, 7 clicks to gratuitous pron"

the vim nav is such a plus... I started doing it on ffffound by accident

I do, it turned from being a niche for creatives into a porn site. I was following some people in an attempt to curate the content but knew I was only a click away from some NSFW imagery from whatever recommendation algo was implemented, so it stopped being a destination. Then Tumblr came along where there was more control and a better quality community so I made that my inspiration feed instead.

Right? I had the same feeling when I saw this post. It's been almost ten years since I frequented FFFFOUND, but it's still weird to see it go. This site seriously opened me up to some genius art when I was in the most "creative" phase of my life; so much respect and thanks to the operators. RIP.

+1! I made daily visits and haven't thought about it for years now. I wonder how many other sites like this I've forgotten about.

Simliar, used to be part of my daily browsing habits but at some point it suddenly stopped and I haven't really thought about it in at least 4-5 years until today.

Was a good source of inspiration, sad to see it go nonetheless.

Any alternatives? This is the first time I heard of it (that I remember?) and I now kinda want a site like that in my life.

Kind of similar...

https://www.are.na is kinda like this in a wierd, niche tool for internet/image archiving. You either love the interface or don't get it, but a potential replacement nonetheless.

I showed my friend are.na (after deciding I liked the concept) and they called it "a masculine-branded pintrest clone". I had trouble disagreeing, but I'm open to being convinced otherwise.

I especially love the shots of seemingly boring city architecture like this: http://ffffound.com/image/913174394559f0f170e9af85417302ce83...

I didn't know I want this site until now, I suppose this kind of stuff is on artsy Tumblr blogs but I don't know where to find those.

I don't know about "seemingly boring", that's a pretty famous building in Shinjuku.

It's in the post-war Metabolist style. If you want more of that stuff specifically, go where architecture students hang out. Ideally IRL...

There's also (again, specific to that style) a good recent book of interviews on Metabolism by Rem Koolhaas et al.

If you want brutalist architecture, @brutgroup on IG is pretty good: https://www.instagram.com/brutgroup/

Thank you for the link - exactly what I was searching !

Very nice, thanks.

Pintrest comes to mind as the most well-known Ffffound copycat, but the interface isn't as clean and they gate their site.
