not surpriseing both my brothers are bronys

I've converted pretty much everyone I know, it's not too difficult you just have to know how to introduce them.

Also, I just noticed there where eight comments in a row from people who had their "pony creator" FCs as their avatar, weird.

So I know of the toy, but where is the Pegasus one?

In Winter Wrap Up, there are scenes where Berry Punch has wings for some reason.

@Ideo Of course the real Berry cusses. She comes on here all the time and cusses.

Wow. Really quiet right now.

I was going to post it to your wall so as not to call you out, but I figured a reminder can't hurt anyone, myself included. We're not under any strict rules on it, but you shouldn't make this kind of comment in the future, Ideological. It's not related at all to anything, and it doesn't contribute to the topic.

The culture of posting for no reason or asking "What's going on?" when a user can read what went on, in some instances, just a few posts back to see "What's going on?" is what gets other users upset with us. So it's a neutral/lose situation.

If the thread gets quiet, then let it be quiet. Don't force it.


It was much harder to see the last scene with Rarity and Sweetie Belle this time around, now that I knew it was Rarity and not Applejack. Must have had something in my eyes. That or I'm starting to develop a heart.

And there was an obvious eye-color change with sound effect when Rarity came from the mud puddle. I guess I simply attributed the sound effect to emphasize reappearing when I first watched it.

Um……okay. Tum te tum tum. Hey, more people. So I guess I had to just wait.

Mind if I suggest music to listen to while reading it?

Nah. I already have music playing in my head, but it changes depending on how I feel or what I do. When I first looked at the comic panels on the blog, I had a dreary music playing in my head (think Castlevania music), but it changed into a cheerful tone when it ended with something funny in it.

Yeah, my mind is weird like that. Or maybe it's because I'm an alfalfa monster. =P

Anyways, I've moved onto "Ask Friendly Twilight", and it, too, seems to have some light and dark humor in it (unlike Paranoid Twilight).

I know when I'm not needed. Kidding.

Bronies, you disappoint me yet again.

Put it in a pool with the rest of the dead.

How often does this really occur? The rules off to the side offering suggestions for making an entry obviously aren't being read (or worst, are being ignored.) Are there enough instances of hasty entries to merit changing the system so that only older users who have been indoctrinated to the standards of KYM can create entries? I've heard that KYM didn't want to do that, but I forget the reasoning.

EDIT: Same message with better English. Geez, my writing is getting lazy…

Your brother's a brony?? Wow…..

Yes I do all 2 of 3 my older brothers are bronies. (I don't know if my oldest youngest brother is a brony but he does show interest.) Also my sister is a pegasister (1 out of 3 girls are pegasisters). Along with my 2 nieces.

I sympathize with you Verbose. As Caboose from RVB would say, "At least I don't go around, submitting entries, trying to force memes and then having them deadpooled! I'm leaving!"

Ah, I'll have to recheck that, and damnit, if I wasn't holding out on commissions, I'd actually have someone draw that Berryshine unicorn. Preferably not looking like Rarity.

I agree. I'm getting tired myself of seeing ridiculous things like this getting put up. This community is supposed to be about science. The science of ideas on the internet and how they spread. If the common user can't be trusted to follow the rules and post meaningful articles, then they don't deserve to have the right.

Also, just like Alfalfa asked… is that guy even a real brony? He could easily be some schmuck who thought it was funny to submit a pony article that he knew would get deadpooled.

^This.

Likewise, the going to bed posts aren't really necessary either.

Every now and then a Brand New Member makes an entry to which every user goes "Huh, we didn't had this one yet.". Basically waking everyone up. It reminds us there are things we forgot about. Deadpooling the many, many, loads of crap between them isn't that big of an issue.


Oh and people. When I posted the link to that entry, I already deadpooled it. There's no reason to make comments on it anymore.

@Ideological
Sorry to be nag, but might I suggest you try to reduce the amount of double posts you're making? You've made 4 so far on this page alone (as well as making almost half of the total posts). I only bring it up because some site members made it clear that they were getting sick of that sort of thing, and also because:

(quoted from forum rules thread)

2b. Do not flood. “Flood” is a term to describe the rapid submission of a large quantity of redundant information. Examples: Posting the same thread multiple times; Posting several times in the same thread within a short period of time (double-, triple-, quadruple-posting and beyond); Posting the same content repeatedly on the same user area or a different user area (repeat comments, spamming comment threads or forum threads, etc).

You should start editing your older posts if you want to add extra information. Also, if you ever want to reply to two people at once, just ignore the 'quote' button, copy and paste their post into yours and add the quote formatting manually.

(blockquote)What you want to quote(/blockquote)
replace brackets with '<' and '>'

Then let's be more scientific!!

I'm sorry

Hey, it's Ray!!

I've posted a bit today, but I've been out of the house most of the day, and I see that we had an image war while I was gone. ಠ_ಠ I thought we were actually trying to avoid that in this thread?

That wasn't an image war. Just run-off from the episode.
