• A notice about Rule 3 regarding sites hosting pirated/unauthorized content has been made. Please see here for details.
  • Staff is working to deal with the problem of synonymous tags. See here for more information and to suggest tag mergers.
  • Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
  • For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
  • Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
  • Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

I'll have to look into it I guess. Or if they have time, @SwiftRosenthal can maybe give a history lesson/explainer (or point me towards an authorative source).

Slut Life is an unrelated CYOA from several years before Waifu Catalog was ever imagined as a thing.

Rule 34 economy is the umbrella concept of a waifu picker CYOA.

Waifu Catalog is a specific CYOA from the initial wave of waifu pickers that steadily grew into its own thing.

Company Fucks Everyone is Cherico and Lee's homebrew lore that's... basically the WC's unwanted equivalent of Independent!Gray!MC and betrayal fics. Let it be under the umbrella of Rule 34 Economy but not the umbrella of Waifu Catalog.

Is 'r34 catalog' and 'r34 economy' the same umbrella concept, or is the former a specific iteration?

Probably just linguistic corruption. Actually looking at the tag, most of its entries are also tagged with the specific CYOA used, and it's not always WC. I would merge it into "r34 economy".

Looking at the specific threads, 'r34 catalog' all do seem to use some variety of a 'r34 economy' CYOA, so it does seem to be the same thing. Will keep them in the same merge group, as they are.
