gelbooru.org is a parked page that sends visitors to an unnamed sponsor, not the Gelbooru image gallery
When we checked gelbooru.org, it showed a domain-parking screen from ParkLogic.com. The screen says visitors are on their way and will be redirected to a sponsor. Our web research ties the Gelbooru anime and manga image gallery to a different address, gelbooru.org.uk. One antivirus engine flagged this domain as malicious and one as suspicious, and the saved connection security check did not validate. The browser threat feed showed no warning, and the domain is several years old. The page offers nothing of its own and sends traffic to an unknown destination, so we rate it Moderate Risk.

Investigation Brief
When we checked gelbooru.org, it showed a domain-parking screen from ParkLogic.com. The screen says visitors are on their way and will be redirected to a sponsor. Our web research ties the Gelbooru anime and manga image gallery to a different address, gelbooru.org.uk. One antivirus engine flagged this domain as malicious and one as suspicious, and the saved connection security check did not validate. The browser threat feed showed no warning, and the domain is several years old. The page offers nothing of its own and sends traffic to an unknown destination, so we rate it Moderate Risk.
A parking page, not the image gallery
The captured page showed only a loading message and ParkLogic.com branding. Its text read "You'll be redirected to our sponsor." We saw no gallery content.
Independent research describes Gelbooru as a popular anime, manga and game artwork gallery and lists it at gelbooru.org.uk. Visitors who expect that site at this address will end up somewhere else.
Technical checks and operator risk
Across 93 scanning engines, there was 1 malicious and 1 suspicious detection, coming from one antivirus family. The browser threat feed returned no warning. The saved check did not validate the secure connection.
The domain has been registered for about 2474 days, but the page discloses no operator. The sponsor destination was not identified in the evidence, so we cannot tell what visitors are sent to.
Why the score is 52
1 independent antivirus family reported an adverse result. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Web research findings
Independent findings for gelbooru.org, including public complaints, named review sources, registration records, and look-alike-domain evidence. A missing result is shown as unverified, never converted into a clean bill of health.
No independently sourced scam reports or credibility records were found for gelbooru.org. That is common for new or low-traffic sites and does not clear the site.

04 · Domain & Infrastructure
Domain & infrastructure
The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

Contact Verification
Saved contact details can help identify the operator. Their presence supports traceability; it does not prove the business is trustworthy.
Domain & Encryption
Certificate issued for gelbooru.org.
A shared content-delivery network address answers for many sites, so it is not the site's own server and says nothing about who runs it.
Payment providers the page loads
None seen among the outside domains we saved.
Read from the first 20 outside domains the page loads and the shop platform it uses; the web server and platform rows are under Hosting & Technology. A payment script on the page does not prove the shop accepts that method at checkout, or that you are protected.
