Deprecation of the www. subdomains

We’re deprecating www.derpibooru.org and www.trixiebooru.org (but not the top-level derpibooru.org and trixiebooru.org). These subdomains will start redirecting to their non-www counterparts starting March 1, 2024.
The reason for this deprecation is rather simple, we don’t want to keep too many subdomains around due to caching issues, traffic separation and SEO issues. We kept www. subdomains around because in certain countries they used to bypass country-specific bans/blocks of Derpibooru. However, we’ve learned that the countries in question recently started being able to access the normal site (without www.) without a VPN or a proxy, so there’s literally no reason to keep them around anymore.
If you’re using the www. subdomains for any reason, please make sure to replace them with the main domain like so: www.derpibooru.org/images/0 -> derpibooru.org/images/0
I understand that some people use the www. subdomain for the purposes of maintaining multiple accounts. For these users, I suggest simply using trixiebooru.org instead. In the future, we’ll implement proper multi-account support though.

(I’m serious. We have users who have been here since 2012 and they still don’t know how to link to images. They hotlink every time.)

It was always annoying to have someone link the www version of the site and not be logged in when I went to it (since the cookies didn’t apply to the subdomain or whatever), so this will be nice for minimizing that sort of annoyance too.

Since Markdown migration, all the hard links are replaced with relative links in everything that goes through the markdown parser. But this change will complete this by also redirecting something linked off-site too, I suppose.

You know, whenever someone shows me a link to Derpi WITHOUT the www in the URL, Firefox (the browser that I use on my laptop) thinks that it’s some kind of “Potential Security Issue”…but when I add the www, it instantly opens.

It’s just a subdomain, it was common long ago because it indicated something was part of the World Wide Web rather than other things, but it’s pretty much tradition at this point and most sites are getting rid of it since it just makes the URL longer for no reason.
