I know the chances of success are slim, but I have a domain name, free electricity and a solid internet connection so I was thinking of creating a new pony board. Everyone knows how cancerous 4chan is, but with 8chan being a depressing circlejerk, ponychan being ponychan and many people being put off mlpol because of political content, I figured creating a new safe haven would be worth a try, especially because that try would be literally free.
I've heard the software running mlpol is available somewhere, so where can I get it? And is there anything else I should know before getting this started?

If you need any help i'm willing, i don't know much about coding but i can help pitch in with funding, site design or general ideas. Pony communities wont survive in the future internet at its current rate.

Which is a shame. The truth is scary/agaisnt what one believes, but with time and patience we know that in the end truth will come out victorious and judge the liers properly.

I appreciate your initiative and it's your call/decision, but to be quite honest I don't like the idea. Mlpol isn't just political content, and I wonder about the userbase you're hoping to appeal to if browsing the catalog or overboard is too much trouble

Thanks! I think my friend is already handling the coding side of things, but the new board is definitely going to need posters and more people need to be informed of it. I'll keep you posted on the progress.

Like >>202447 said, many people want a pony board without the politics. I myself have taken long breaks away from mlpol because of all the blackpills and sadness it causes. Most of it is things that people specifically want to get away from with happy little ponies.

Better moderated than 4chan
Less depressing than 8chan
Less politics than mlpol
Just... not ponychan in general.
There are a lot of fans who don't like their sites but can't leave because each alternative has even more downsides.
>>202481
I know it's likely, but it's worth a try. It doesn't cost anything, and if it actually hits the jackpot and manages to get people off of 4chan it would save the largest part of the fandom from being slowly cucked to oblivion.

What about if we flip the feeling from sad to rage? The first implies lack of action and defeatism, the second action towards a goal.
Either you submerge yourself in escapism and hedonism, or, you hit the gym, lift and you work yourself to make the world your personal bitch.

Like the other anons said, escaping will not solve anything.
The *pain* the blackpill causes is a side-effect of growing up. Take it like a man op, become an example and not another manchild looking for mom's lap.

Stewing in your own impotent hatred is what Satan does in the depths of Hell. Cultivating that only digs pitfalls for yourself.
If you want to make yourself better turn your ambition to a better world and love what is good, hating only that which is evil. Objectively look at your life and determine which path best suits yourself, your family and your race.

what if- hear me out- we make a new board on mlpol strictly for poni. it would attract new people, and it could also provide a little bit of revenue for the site (as some of the shop items could be specifically poni related)

I feel like any new pony board on this site would inevitably wrap back around to politics quite quickly. If you look at /sp/ and /1ntr/, political discussion isn't uncommon on them even though sp can be literally anything and 1ntr is... 1ntr. I don't mind the politics here, but I do think that any non-political board on a site with a large active userbase of people who have strong political opinions is doomed for failure.

I completely agree. I mean, each board has their rules... perhaps introducing a rule there that disallows politics? that way, political discussion would be kept here, and non-political discussion like the fluttershy thread, can stay on the new board. (maybe with a name like /pny/

So the goal is to find the "next big thing" in social media and catch the upswing. After imageboards was social media and Reddit which peaked somewhere around 2016. Now Twitter style social media has been dominant but I expect that to decline as well.
Social media is declining in general, which is probably a good thing.

i suppose, however, the brony fandom is dying slightly, as i have seen more and more leave due to social pressures and such. sadly, i wouldn't think a new image board would do much.
This isn't even covering on the many different pony based radio stations that are now lacking viewership. the only 3 things remotely garnering the attention of the community is the 4chan cup, the fallout equestrian series, and the show itself, which is about to undergo a massive change.
A new imageboard, i wouldn't think would be the solution. unless...
there was a site a long time ago, i doubt any of you heard of it. it was called pony^2. it was a roleplay site that garnered 10,000 fans a day. this was, in my opinion, the greatest achievement by the brony fandom. sadly, the site shut down due to its owner being no longer interested in it. if another site like pony^2 came up, i would think it would be very successful.
what made it unique, was that there were many areas to rp in. the forums, instant chat, through factions. (which occasionally had campaigns against one another, usually ending on good terms.) the users even could implement custom css into their profiles, making the site that much more unique.

Sorry to tell you this buddy, but they're not getting off of 4channel. The userbase there needs to have their boards put into danger before they'll even consider it, and by the time that happens, they'll likely gravitate to /mlpol/ simply because of it's higher relative activity and lack of cancer (ruling out Ponychan).
If you wanna try regardless, be my guest. But your chances are looking pretty slim.

>while the mlp side would have your normal blueboard /mlp/ shit
NO! /mlp/ becoming a blue board was the single biggest blow to the fandom in its history. No one asked for it, and working around it has been a massive hassle ever since. I aim to run poni.fun how /mlp/ worked before the scruffening, allowing anything but CP and blatant shitposting.
Speaking of shitposting, that is one thing mlpol is handling flawlessly. Moderator intervention is something that always get some people to cry about censorship, but it appears some level of quality control is necessary or the board drowns in yelling and insults like 8chan is doing.

Try to get people who are put off by politics to try poni.fun, and I'll try to direct any discussion that veers into politics to come here.

That is absolutely not my intention. I'm trying to create a board for people who don't like politics, because as you must have heard by now for many people that is the reason they haven't migrated here. If they were okay with visiting mlpol they would have moved here already, but for many people mixing real world problems with ponies is still as outlandish idea as the april fools joke that got the whole thing started.
I am glad that this place exists and will keep visiting it in the future as well, but it's not what the average poster of /mlp/ wants. 4chan is the only enemy, it's the site that intentionally neuters the fandom, cutting promising threads in the bud and wasting the creative force of what is still a huge portion of fans. Getting those people anywhere else would be better than leaving them there, because that place is cucking the fandom to death.

IF it wasn't your attention to attempt to draw from Mlpol, then why are we having this conversation on Mlpol? It seems disingenuous to promote - even passively - an alternative site and then claim that you're not interested in promoting an alternative site. Additionally, by providing a 'middle-ground' site (not 4chan, but not Mlpol) then you're effectively affecting the potential for new users. One of many points of this place is that eventually everyone has to grow up and realize the situation they're in, unless someone gives them an escape. Again, poor taste IMO.

One of many points of this place is that eventually everyone has to grow up and realize the situation they're in, unless someone gives them an escape. Again, poor taste IMO.
Instead of making an imageboard why not make something different? Lots of imageboards are out there so you would have a lot of competition.

I made the thread here because this was the best place to ask about the idea. 4chan would have banned it and 8chan would have told me everything was hopeless. If you still can't see how packaging ponies and politics together is keeping some people away, just go to 4chan and ask them what they think of this place.

What would you suggest? My coding skills are way too lackluster for anything, but hopefully someone could use the idea.

These are two perfect examples. As I said, we agree to disagree.

That's kind of the whole point. Well, it was for the /pol/ side of things anyways.
>just go to 4chan and ask them what they think of this place.
4chan can think whatever they'd like of this place. Besides that, which users are you asking? Or are you falling for the >we meme here?

>If they were okay with visiting mlpol they would have moved here already
And why, pray tell, must they move? You keep phrasing this as if it's some kind of problem, when it's anything but.
The "problem" is not that they're unaware of /mlpol/'s existence and that they're just not enlightened as to the existence of a superior alternative; they know we exist. The "problem" is that there is still a distinct community there that has a very high value to them. That's why, even after all the shit that hiro and the mods pull over there, they'd rather find clever workarounds and use a mountain of script blockers if it means keeping touch with the community they love.
There is only one thing that will cause them to move over to a new home: the community being targeted. Should that be fired upon, be it by mods or even the myriad rumours of /mlp/ deletion, that will be the only way they'll move: when there is no longer any choice but to do so.
Three precedents exist for this: the original /mlpol/ being deleted and being reconstructed here at mlpol.net , the various /pol/ boards being shilled and divided into near oblivion, and most famously here, the anonfilly crowd. If we weren't here to extend the olive branch and offer them a new home, they'd have gone to 4/trash/ instead, and that would have been the end of it.
So, with that in mind...
>you must have heard by now for many people that is the reason they haven't migrated here.
Categorically false.

Based OP. I agree this shouldn't replace /mlpol/, I think they serve two very different purposes. But now we need to spam the shit out of this in /mlp/ (and maybe fullchan), which are our main target demographics I'd say, since people pointed out those who are chill with mlpol are probably already here. It's time for pone to leave the garbage that is hiromoot and the "mods" in cuckchan, although mlpol is still based and redpilled and should stay that way. Most importantly though will hors pucc be allowed no exceptions?

Something with upvotes and optional anon posting. Something that would draw in redditors away from imageboards.

Absolutely! Like I've said, making /mlp/ safe for work was the single most devastating blow to the fandom, and the goal of this site is to be what /mlp/ was before the scruffening.

Wtf? It's always been blue.

That's the point. 4chan has never welcomed /mlp/, it was created as damage control. That it was blue was a stab in the face against horsefuckers, in an attempt to discourage horsefuckery. That it still exists is by no one's intent and expressly in opposition to the design.
OP seems to have his heart in the right place, but what he is offering belies the reality. Horsefuckers are persona non grata almost everywhere, and where they aren't they're considered the lowest of the low. This is one of the foundational principles which Mlpol was created on, and is why I object to what OP is endeavoring to do even though I approve of his decisions. Go ahead, post ponies pretty much anywhere, 4chan or otherwise. See what happens. Barneyfag aside (who is better received by many than anything MLP-related), there are literally individuals and groups who base their identity around opposition to MLP (anyone forget GR15DF?).
I like OP, he's got spunk, but he seems horribly naive.

Good, the politics are doing for us what horse pussy is doing for politics. Keeping faggots out.

Thanks. I just had the first moderation/rules drama over namefagging, but it should be settled now: Namefagging is allowed for posting OC or in RP threads, but generally strongly discouraged. I hoped people would just ignore it, but I can see now how quickly that would have led the site to turn into ponychan.

Update: The new board isn't doing well at the moment. Turns out the board needs a burst of new people coming it at once to become active, not a gradual trickle that can't keep up the activity.
My current plan is to create a kind of Grand Opening date to set up a time when everyone interested would come there at the same time to jumpstart the board. What do you think? Would June be a good date where most people have free time for ponies?

since you are now the admin of your own website that is for you to figure out, one of your responsibilities. This is your project. We have no ties to it or are obligated to provide support. Welcome to reality.
Also this is now bordering illegal advertising of a competing website, so you might want to consider buying adspace before you ungraciously get blacklisted.

>competing website
No, a thousand times no. If we had got the users of /mlp/ to move to /sp/ or any other board here I would have been so much happier. But since they don't like politics with their ponies they'll never come here and I had to do something to try save them from suffocating under 4chan's intentionally oppressive moderation. Poni is not competing with mlpol, it exists for the sole purpose of getting the creative forces from 4chan away from a site that's doing everything in its power to kill the fandom and waste their efforts.

Your board sucks fag. you went and allowed everything including shit the fandom actively hates so you wont get any users besides derpibooru and ponychan rejects. It's just /trash/ 2.0 + namefags. You cant get any creative users, all you have are thirsty newfags who never posted on a redboard before and the persistent archives and fetch posts will always ensure the majority of creatives will stay on /mlp/. poni has nothing to offer just a wasteland of anarchy from newfags and unironic bronies who want to be all nice to eachother like you.
