It's the attack of the Blank Flanks!!!!

EVERYPONY RUUUUUUNNN!!!!

And finally a Page GET

They're just clones used in crowd scenes. You guys think Studio B actually draws each individual thing? Of course not! They have computers! If they did that, we'd get like two episodes per year.

To put things in perspective, I believe I once read that Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, another Faust-McCracken show, spent about nine months on each single episode. And they didn't even put out a full 26-episode series every year.

Now that we're on a new page, I have something fun to share: a new brony slang term!

Te gusta?

Yeah, I think we had an idea about that. If I'm not mistaken, there is a picture that points out all the Bon Bons in Fall Weather Friends.

Nine months???

So they didn't make episodes, they gave birth to them!!!

And Flankflustered?

I prefer assdamaged.

I'm sorry, but to me the Canonical term will always be this:

@Fridge Logic
Dude… it was a joke.
Still though, they could have given them some cutie marks, c'mon.
I understand using generic background ponies, but no cutie marks is kinda lazy.
As for "flankflustered"…

So have there been any episodes after hearths flaming ass or whatever?

Ha ha ha YES.

The mystical Swedish wizard has been converted. Or probably not.

Hearths flaming ass? lol

But no, next one is this Saturday.

Great, now I want to see the Swedish Chef dressed as a wizard.

@Fridge Logic
According this this page, that's not an actual piece of text.
Someone can easily edit the text it says, so… yeah.

Yo Berry, someone's stoling your job

Bigger version

lol wtf yes

Silly Pinkie, doing it wrong again. You punch the bouncer in the face when he tries to kick you out!

Whew, I'm back to the real world.

Look of dissaproval Don't you mean buck though, being ponies and all, and I can imagine doing that to a bouncer is a good way to get the guards on your flank.

Soon…

I need to finish my story first.

You silly fanfic writer, you.
Also, HOW IN EQUESTRIA DID I FORGET BIG MACINTOSH AND BRAEBURN? Am I that stupid?

Thread Occupation: amateur TL;DR poster, stereotypical Canadian, the voice of reason!

burning_phoneix is our amateur/wannabe tl;dr poster. (Emphasis on amateur lololololol.)
opspe is the stereotypical Canadian.
BSoD is the voice of reason.

Those are all taken. You'll have to be comic relief. Do you have a rubber chicken or a bottle of seltzer?
 
Due to lack of pony episodes, I refuse to be nice and/or reasonable about this.

I cannot be stopped.

Well, usually the bars tell their bouncers not to accept sexual favors from the patrons… Oh, you mean literal bucking. Punching works better (my last name's not Punch just for the drink mind you) because they won't expect it and it takes too long to turn around and buck their shit. They see it coming.

Verbose boasted:

burning_phoneix is our amateur/wannabe tl;dr poster.

Oh snap!

I recommend that you prepare and load your dueling pistols now. Because phoneix will not be impressed to hear you say that.

In other news, thanks for your input regarding your OC. I'll draw you as my design prototype outlines. No cutie mark since you are a deer.

I'm working on it now.

I'm the semi irrational angry poster. And I'm proud of it.

Says Mr. comment verbosely on everything. I was all those things before they were cool.

EDIT: Adding on to those things, pretty much every one of my posts quotes someone else.

Also, it's somepony when it's only ponies. In Over a Barrel, Rainbow (I think) says everybody, because there are buffaloes. Thus, this is canon. So unless you're a talking cartoon pony, please please please use everybody/everyone.

Dat phoneix burn.

I want to reply to it.

I really do.

But I just can't stop clapping.

Oh you were now eh?

Actually there are a few of us on here. Ivan and Sparty (who apparently doesn't post anymore but still shows up to synchtubes c/o Cite) live up here in the frigid wastes, and I think burning_phoenix lived here at one point too.

I should point out that I'm also half-American. My dad's from Jersey. But not that part of Jersey.

And I wholehartedly support your motion to use "everybody/everyone" on the forum. That sort of "ponification" is one of the things that annoys me about the show.

INB4 X-singular:

Lurker = casual, according to my methodology.

But seriously, I liked to think of my self as an intellectual TL;DR poster/Lurker.
but opspe's study told me (read:Dictated) that I'm casual and…what was the term…ah yes,
___________________ Images.
So now I'm trying to live up to my new-found reputation, so I'm encouraged (read:forced) to include one of these in each of my posts:

That was beautiful. Glad to know MLP FiM has improved another person's life. If I was a therapist, we would watch an episode of FiM every time, and spend the rest of the time talking about it.

Why does KYM have no quote-quoting? I miss those long chains of 10 TLDR posts that fill up half the page I can do on other sites.

Sparty's computer is an ass, and the multitude of ads on Know Your Meme slows it down a bunch, hence why he doesn't post much.
And for some reason, blockquote is broken for this post.
KYM forums, y u so badly coded?!

Twilight says it.
But yes, I agree with this.
We're not cartoon ponies, we're human (a-after all).

My masterpiece is complete.
Click the pic above to be linked to its unimaginable wonder.

jk, but please do read it. I finished the second round of editing and I believe it to be in its final state. Now to repeat the process for the next chapter. Too bad I have absolutely no clue what to do.

Yo dawg, herd you like quoting…

__________________________________________________________________________________

And I approve of this FiM Therapy. Thinking about it, that's basically what we do here right?

You can add your own quotes in those cases. This also helps when quoting only a small part of a tl;dr post.

<blockquote>Load of text.</blockquote>

Gives:

Load of text.

Yo dawg, we're making miracles here.

^ As for those lines.

Just place 3 minus marks in a row. Leave at least one enter between the next line of text.

- – - (but without the spaces)

Yeah? Well, we should secede from this stupid American site, with these stupid American memes, posted by stupid Americans, with their stupid backwards ass customary system, and their stupid heart attacks on a bun, and their stupid spelling of colour, and, and…

I went to university in the US though.

EDIT: Testing

Does it work?

Muhaha, time to incorporate it into all my posts!

For more: Check out my thread.

@X-singular
It's not like I try to start flame wars. I just generally speak my mind. If sometimes highly inappropriate.
…
And yeah, that reminds me.
I also try to be something of an intellectual poster. No, I'm no tl;dr'r, but I do put in a lot of thought to my posts, as unfathomable as it may seem. Really, pretty much any time I post I'm afraid I didn't make a good enough one and people will hate me over it.
Yes, I still have an irrational fear of rejection. Shush.
And I was also listed as… images.
>_>
Yes, I enjoy linking the occasional piece of really good art (generally I'll do so without posting any text, as I feel this detracts from the main purpose of the post [y'know, the art]), but I try to avoid overwhelming the thread with images.
But eh, science made the chart, not me. So I blame science.
And I agree with the other three things I was listed as. Serious, humorous, and… well, "passionate" is just a polite term for "angry as f**k".

@twins
inb4 flood of "AMERICA" images.

Says the person who doesn't even have a computer to post tl;dr.

So I blame science.

Subtle.

And then my story was ignored. jk, there is one person. anyway, goodnight

If you do read it, tell me what you think and if you find any glaring grammar or plot errors please.

What? No, I seriously meant that. I don't blame you, I blame science.
Yes, I sound sarcastic, but I'm not. I mean that. Really.

Shit's about to go down.

And there's your "passionate." Which is why I thought it better than BSOD's old "angry" label – it maintains the air of friendship. Like in this rather good image.

@Upcoming vociferations between Verbose and burning_phoenix:

@cite

At one point you did contribute a lot to image posting in the 3rd pony thread, I think that's how you ended up with that label even if you don't use many images now or in the 2nd pony thread. Your previous behavior in the last pony thread was a large contributor to what labels you were given. Furthermore I don't recall you showing up during the discussions me, phoneix and opspe held. You might have been in one, I don't remember. But if you had a good presence during those discussions would would have been labelled as a tl;dr poster for certain

But that chart is all just the perspectives of a few anyway and in no way claims to be accurate.

As for how x-singular got listed as "casual image poster" I am really not sure. X-singulars posting style was generally unknown back then. He got 'casual' simply because I didn't know what to call him at the time but it was not my intention that he stay that way.

PS: opspe changed "angry" to "passionate" because that was more descriptive and less inflammatory, but to me you will always be the "angry" poster of Pony General. Don't change

Ninjacount = 6

[edit]

Verbose vs Phoneix! Epic TL;DR battle go!

@twins
Pagebreaks in every post?

Welcome to the club.

So, out of curiosity, what would my thread occupation be?

@verbose/phoenix magadeathbrawl XXVI

BRACE YOURSELVES, INFINITE MOUNTAINS OF WORDS IMINENT

@Blue Screen (of death)
I've also generally been trying to start discussion when nobody else has. Which rarely succeeds. Other obligations mostly prevent me from posting in the late night debate thingy.
Like I said, I'm not a tl;dr poster. Even still, I do put a lot of thought into my posts. Thought doesn't necessarily equal length.

@Nuke: You weren't included in the data because I never got your personality test, but I had you down as Serious, Humorous, Intellectual, and Casual (because you don't post much).

@Cite: Concision is an asset, don't discount it. We (or at least I) can certainly tell you put lots of thought into your posts.

@Nukefire

I see you as a general poster who only comes in occasionally. Says something cool, gets a ton of karma and leaves. I have not noticed you sticking to any one particular pattern in your posts.

@Cite

Actually I have noticed you do that, but by the time I get around to your discussions, they are already buried 40 posts deep. (I know the feel bro)

Timing is impeccable if you want this thread to focus on a single topic.

That autoplay video this is just begging to be abused. Imagine 7 of these at one time.

Speaking of which…

EDIT: Yeah that was a stupid idea. Nooo, -1!! I deserved that though.
