*girls -> multiple_girls implications not working properly?

I did a little searching and found that multiple_girls tag has less posts than all *girls tags combined.

Search results:
2girls = 2104 pages
3girls = 297 pages
4girls = 115 pages
5girls = 59 pages
6+girls = 41 pages
multiple_girls = 2069 pages

What caused this?

Lets use this as an excuse to kill the counting tags.

Pretty Please?

Specifically, 2girls and 3girls are broken: 2girls -multiple_girls, 3girls -multiple_girls. The server is probably choking on the implication because 2girls and 3girls are such large tags.

The counting tags are useful when trying to find certain pictures with two characters, so all you need to do is type the names and the *girls and it does wonders.

For some reason you have to resave the image to make the "*girls" tags add to the "multiple_girls". I guess it was too large to carry over on its own?

If you're using the characters' names for the search then chartags:X will often work better than Xgirls, as it doesn't rely on an extra tag that you're not sure to see tagged.

Albert would need to look at/fix the implication issue. I could delete it and resubmit it but I'd rather not, it could just make things messier. He seems to have worked out a lot of the alias/implication problems but I guess a couple remain.

Well, the point of 2girls was just to stop every image featuring two girls in close proximity from getting a yuri tag.

Once upon a time they were but now they're just counting tags.

That lasted about a day and a half. And was never a good idea anyway.
