Oh, can it Raymond, it's one picture, and it's relevant to his post rather than a blatant amount of images in every post. No reason to go neg karmaing people because you don't like images, hell I'm about to post one now.

If I had to claim ponay, I'd claim the one on the right. If that one was taken, I'd take what's on the left.

@Ray
well we can always go and use another website or even create our own.

We'd probably need V Bulletin to make a forum that people would be happy about using. Throwing that out there in case more people support a move. (I'm not sure I do yet, but I know it's been brought up before).

Oh and has anyone seen the shipping spoof comic with Rainbow Dash and Pinkie where Dash says "And I will put my goggles on"? I saw it yesterday and I couldn't stop laughing.

Nope, can you post the link to it, and I suggest the link as this page has already had three pictures posted and I'm trying (though not very well) to keep the picture limit down.

Ray, calm yo tits. Pics are fine as long as nobrony starts an image war or posts a large amount of em'.
give me a minute, i left some posting rules a few pages back, gotta go get em'.

That's the thing, there were 23 on the last page, and 3 might be a small number for this page, but that's how it starts.

HEY YOU GUYS!

Possible forum rules:
1: max of one pic per post.
2: don’t dedicate pages to something.
3: keep calm and don’t start shitstorms/flamewars on the thread.\
4: post relevant stuff, I don’t want to see a page with all sorts of retarded shit on it (we are not 4chan, we can keep a conversation on track)
5: ???
6: profit

If you can think of changes or new rules feel free to suggest them and we will all make some forum rules because I swear to celestia, if there is a shitstorm or another mod intervention I will… I'm not sure what I'd do but it would be really bad.

Before the image wars were moved to the forum, we used the comments for everything. And everyone could live with that. So I don't really see the problem with the images, they're a nice change of pace. Not everything has to be discussion.


Also about the problem some have with the forum. I don't really see the problem, some have to get used to it yes. But so far I think it has gone pretty well.

A constant stream of nothing but images pushes discussions out of the way, it's as simple as that.

If I did have any ability with the internet, I'd easily set up my own forum, and wait, supermonday, you've been getting Death Threats, over a cartoon? Wow, some people do take the internet to seriously.

These rules are good. I like them.
So, new topic time I suppose?
Let's see here…
uh…
Well, I can't think of anything.
Anyone have a new topic suggestion?

Iamslow up there posted a deal about a comic, but I seem to be the only one who said something about it.

Metaphors are magical.
The community has been getting metaphorical death threats (the biggest being tomberry's lock of the images and Drpepperfan's lock of the comments)

As I said, people take a cartoon way to seriously, and a certain someone calls himself a fan, but I'll leave it at that as not to draw another shitstorm.

@CitationNeeded: I saw that, I loled as well, cause sadly it's true. As I said though, I'm just glad she's getting more airtime since I still don't get why at the very least they didn't reference her in any of the later episodes.

Hay guys, it's 3:45 AM and I just had a brainwave. Tell me it this is either the most genius or most retarded idea ever. (I am very tired so it might be either one)

Someone sets up a KYM account called "KYM Brony Community" or something and we use it's wall the same way we used the old page. We can post all the links to important sites like the wiki and EqD in the bio section and we could use the other (superior) comments system for discussions and whatnot.

That way the mods should be happy we aren't spamming the MLP page, and we never have to set foot in this god-forsaken forum again!

But I don't know if there are any issues that would bring up, someone tell me if that would cause any problems… or if the idea is just too rock-stupid to work. :/

I don't think this will work, since it isn't really beginner friendly.
How are new herd members supposed to discover this?

Also finding the account will take time, since its activity will probably stay 0. Even if you add it to your friends list, you still have to go through all the pages of friends. You can just use the search bar, but that still costs time. And still isn't beginner friendly.

Right pony taken, sorry. But Octavia is just as good.

like I keep saying, we make our own forum site, everybrony (and non-brony) wins.

Good idea in theory, but it just wouldn't work well in practice. To be honest, I'm getting used to using the forum now, it's not as awful as it was when I started.
Er, also, I hate to ask this, but I need to know: how the Hell do I add friends? I haven't seen any way to do so….

People have had several accounts before and used it to troll and / or manipulate things in the forums.
Like I said it's frowned upon but I don't think it's an actual rule.

Well the community account wouldn't actually BELONG to anyone per-say, we wouldn't be using it to comment or anything so it's influence wouldn't really reach beyond it's own page.

I don't know, maybe we could just try it out for now if enough people are into the idea. So what say you fellow KYM bronies? Would you guys be willing to try one last move if it meant we could go back to the old system?

@Citation
go to their profile, there will be a button that says "add friend" or "start following", you click that.

There's "Start Following" and "Contact User", but no "Add Friend" button.

You guys keep offering suggestions on how to get outta here and thats fine and there even good suggestions but honestly im fine right here. I mean it seems like so much work for something so trivial.

Well, the thing is, we're obviously not wanted here with someone having locked the images once, and someone else having locked the comments, and having just one deal for things like constant images and discussions just doesn't work out to well.

Oh, they need to be following me. Thanks.

Anyways, I'm with Snuggles here. These forums are fine. I prefer the comments on the main page, but… well, we all know what happened then. I mean, the main reason we used the comments was because it had all the links already there, right? A user page won't have all these links.

Is nobrony listening to me? We don't have to do that. We simply make our own forums and have free reign over them, no trolls or KYM mods to stop us AND we can make them 20% cooler than these forums.

I said id follow you if you guys can come up with something

I think these forums are working just fine, to be honest. And I also don't see anything wrong with the amount of images being posted. Why can't we just stay right here, be happy, and post ponies? However, I am totally supportive if we plan on making our own forums (although I can't help – I have no knowledge of that sort of thing) but I don't find it important necessary.

P.S. My power is out from the hurricane (posting via my cell phone right now) so I'm just gonna disappear until it comes back. Beans out.

My beef with the constant pictures is when they push the discussions off. I tried suggesting making a JFF thread just for the pictures, but I was blown off.

I figured we could have a top comment on the main MLP page linking to it, can't be any harder to find then this forum. :/

what ray said and because we might as well continue our ponification of the web.

Yeah, a forum site like u suggest would always be good, and somebrony could do it (unfortunatelly I don't own all that internet to do myself) and I'd be happy. But I agree with Snuggles, for now we're getting used to the forum and everything seems just fine.
