Well, boards don't get more active by just wishing, now do they?

Doing my part then.

Jannies talking about cooking? I guess if anyone needed proof they aren't robots.
>5147
Surprisingly reasonable discussion of banning gun control posts on /k/. They seem to recognize that it can be on topic.
>5333
Jannies noticing that everything on /a/ and /v/ is political around the 2016 election.
>8289
Jannies celebrating Christmas
>9838
Jannies pondering when and why new boards are created. Ends with the excerpt I posted.

>>383791
Nice. I'll do more more in the same format.

>>383772
/mlp/ was slow enough that threads could stay like easily 10+ hours with no bumps at all, so just one or maybe two anons would be enough to keep a thread up. A thread dying in "a few hours" (so like 4-5) would be very rare and a sign of unusual posting activity or maybe someone trying to slide things.

Not everything has to be /v/ or /pol/ tier, those really are too fast to follow unless you're actually actively online. But /mlp/ was so slow you could still easily check your favourite threads once a day and they'd have like 10-15 posts each. And I do think that's somewhat comfier than the entire board getting 10-15 posts in a day and a thread you like maybe getting two posts per week.

Looking at the statistics, the amount of posters jump through the roof.

Y, tho

>>383800
Which statistics do you mean?

>>383801
because this place captures the /mlp/ spirit the best so far;
other places are just cages of autists being crabs in a bucket

>#253
Discussion on the rules governing rapidshared content on /co/ and the possibility of updating them.

>#272
About the policy on motivators on /a/.
They are to be deleted and user banned if they persist.

>#281
About deleting unmarked spoilers on /a/.
They are to be deleted even if the series is old.

>#282
A janny is unsure on what should be deleted on /s/. They are bothered by fake tits and female bodybuilders and wonder if they should be allowed.
They are told by a Mod that discussion should improve the board as a whole. Good discussion should be left alone even if the content personally displeases them. The picture should be judged on its own merits.
Another janny then says that they will instantly delete any picture they consider "gross" even if people seem to be enjoying it, and that they believe the board has too much porn on it.
Finally something about "report "misa campo/leah dizon" catchphrases as ban-requests"

>#288
Asking whether they should delete dogs, cats and prinnies from /c/ as they should apparently be posted on /cm/.
Told that animal pictures as well as anything close to furry should be deleted with the exception of catgirls.
A mod asks why anime animals can't be posted on /a/.
People then agree and say anime animals are fine, just no furries or photographs.

>#295
Asking whether fapping to female mech pilots is allowed on /m/.
Another janny says they would rather not see female pilots on /m/. That /m/ is sfw so there should be nothing too revealing and that they can be strict about it being a mech board so at least try to relate it to a mech.

>#307
Another website is flooding /g/. Discussion about what the jannies are doing about it.

Aaaaah. Thank you.

Where did all the anons went? This site is still slow and sharty's pony thread only have one anon on it. Did they just go to Equestria or something?

>>383816
And leave without us? Assholes

>>383699
It's not on fimfiction https://ponepaste.org/user/ThingPaste
I rember reading this on pastebin after finding it I'm a write fag thread a day or two after mlpol blessed us with its presence.

>>383816
Not everyone who uses /pol/ knows about other chans, or at least all other chans. We're here but who knows what's going on in other corners of the internet.

Am i the only one who find this hack a bit strange? It's weird that the hacker didn't delete datatables to cause more havoc considering they are from sharty and they supposedly hate 4chan.
Now the 4chan stuff will be able to restore most if not everything without data loss.

>>383816
My guess is that most anons have no fucking idea what is going on. So basically they are refreshing 4chan pages, getting CF error with no actual information and think this is just bit prolonged downtime. So it will take day or two when actual crawling around net starts as reality is hitting.

>>383824
>So basically they are refreshing 4chan pages, getting CF error with no actual information and think this is just bit prolonged downtime.
I'm sure they aren't that dumb and will immediately search the reason for it.

>>383824
4chan getting hacked at least is fairy big news. They might not know much more than that but if they have looked at the internet at all they will probably be aware.

>>383823
My guess is even they has sentimental feeling for 4chan. They probably still browse there too considering how legitimately awful sharty is. At least they vindicated /pol/ and the chuds by showing how da joos are truly behind everything.

>>383816
Here, mostly lurking.

>>383816
They're probably in Discord.

What thread were you guys on back in 4chan right before the hack. I was on that Tariq nasneed and Chinese merch thread

>>383831
I can't remember what thread I was in but before I went to bed I saw the message about /qa/ and the music playing. The site was broken when I woke up again.

>>383831
I went to sleep a few hours before the hack and woke up a few hours after the site died. Initially assumed it was just downtime and then slowly figured out what happened.
My pathological online habits suffered greatly when I couldn't check all my generals for new posts in the morning.

>>383835
>My pathological online habits suffered greatly when I couldn't check all my generals for new posts in the morning.
Same here, 4chan has become the sole place of my internet activity due to how shit the rest of internet has become. It's ironic how one of my first visited sites back in 2007 ended up my only visited one in 2025.

>>383831
I was on /co/, probably looking at one of the storytimes (the only good reason to go there these days). By the time I saw the message and went to /qa/, it was already locked and I couldn't post anymore.

It was a drawfag thread, I was about to make an request but the site just wouldn't load, than I found people posting about 4chin being hacked so I guess I will chill with you guys for time being.

fyi. news from the grapevine is that ponyfags on sharty are mascaraing as frogfags posting pepe instead.

Good day everyone!

>>383831
I was on a /pol/ thread shitting on Spaniards on why the spanish empire sucked at developing latam,, after that I went to sleep and then got the news that 4chan is down

one of the shitbag piece of shit /mlp/ jannies was deleting threads right up until the site died.

What do you guys think about this assessment? I'm inclined to agree. Should 4chan die forever, i don't think any replacement site would get much traction. Everyone would scatter and huddle in their own small boards, discord circlejerks and other similar places. I just feel like any kind of "new 4chan" can't make it big in the modern internet and the original site is pretty much irreplaceable.

>>383845
The word you are looking for is "masquerading", Sanjay

>>383850
I agree but I also disagree
plenty of people face this every day when they see the site they knew change for the worse. Hell I became a fucking normlperson because I was tired of being treated like shit on /tg/ for posting 2hus and not being terminally brain damaged about how the mechanics of a game work. and shit has only gone even more down hill now. I pretty much wouldn't ever use 4chan if /tg/ was the only board left on it, and only finding untouched communities within it made it worth staying to me.

>>383850
Its the layout for me. Other alt chans, including this one, unfortunately have confusing and unpleasant lay out. 4chan layout is just less offensive to the eye and more intuitive. Sharty for example genuinely hurt my eyes, the background is too bright and the font is too small and messy.

>>383855
I have no idea what you mean when you say this sites layout is worse. I have seen some chans that are even better than mlpol though. one let you have a chicago95 style board. I want it so bad but I cant refind it.

One of these niggers banned me for shitting on indog on /v/ and made miss out the touhou thread on /MLP/. I hope the shartniggers fill his hardrive with CP and call the FBI on him.

>>383859
This many janitors and the board is a massive shithole.

>>383850
It's rather pessimistic but not necessarily entirely wrong.
A bunker needs widespread knowledge and good organisation. I think modern /mlp/ is possibly too fractured for that to be possible. /vt/, for example, apparently immediately moved to some other website, but /vt/ was much newer so they had already just built up a super fast board basically from nothing only a couple of years ago, making it much easier for everyone to coordinate a migration. /mlp/ has over a decade of history, multiple groups that hate each other (to make things better, often with variously complex overlaps between the groups), nobody agreeing on the best way to run things with everybody having strong opinions on this, and plenty of anons either having holed themselves up in some small selection of generals, or just taking frequent massive breaks, etc.

The one thing that every /mlp/ poster has in common is that we were all tolerating /mlp/ as it was, no more rules and no fewer, no better jannying and no worse. It was the lowest common denominator and as such the one place where everyone could still be counted on posting in. With that option removed, and everyone forced to "pick" their "favourite" alternative, the rifts in ideology between the posters are just going to open up immediately and you'll end up with competing camps hating each other. You already see this with nhnb and here.

Maybe, maybe, if there was a single obvious "alt-/mlp/" that everyone knew of and treated as the obvious bunker/alternative, with no other viable or trusted ones existing, maybe then a migration would've been possible. But as it stands we've already splintered into two on day 1, and I think that anon is also not wrong that plenty of anons just didn't think about bunkers at all and don't know about either of these.

>>383874
>You already see this with nhng and here
False. Nobody who has been here prior to 2 days ago knows the first thing about nhng, and the posts that assert animus are inauthentic and homosexual.

>>383874
Yeah, good post. I feel like most of these problems come down to people caring too much about stupid, irrelevant stuff. It's the fate of all communities that have been around for a long period of time - you have multiple little cliques and circlejerks, and people get too comfortable in their little groups and begin forget why we are all here in the first place.

>>383879
Sorry, vpn. It's weird when you don't get hit with a "vpn posting not allowed" message. This board has too few anti spam measures

>>383875
I am talking about specifically the refugees. I'm not saying there was ever any bad blood between nhnb and /mlpol/, I'm saying the /mlp/ posters trying to pick a board are already picking a favourite one of the two and forming camps against the other, such as calling nhnb ruletrannies (even based on hearsay and wrong info) or nhnb calling any critics barbiefags (even without any eqg context).

>>383880
>This board has too few anti spam measures
does the board even needs them?

Guys i'm sleepy

>>383874
Oh yeah, forgot to mention - i wasn't talking about /mlp/ specifically but rather about the site as a whole. I don't think there will ever be another 4chan if the original one goes down for good.
>>383882
I think this board was spammed by Sharty pretty badly a couple years ago. They have an article about raids on this website on their wiki

>>383884
>I think this board was spammed by Sharty pretty badly a couple years ago
they spam everything, including (now dead) 4chan

>>383884
>I don't think there will ever be another 4chan if the original one goes down for good.
remember tirach and harkach?

>>383886
That was another time. When was tirech created, 16 (!!!) years ago? The internet was very different back then. I feel like imageboards are a pretty obsolete website format as of now in the sense that here's much less demand for them in comparison with the early 2010s.

>>383888
there's*

>>383883
it's 3pm you dongus

>>383884
Oh yeah, for the entire site it's looking grim. I don't much care about /pol/ or /v/ - though I admit the big boards like that did serve kind of as my doomscrolling fodder, I never made a tiktok or anything but just refereshing the /pol/ catalog and scrolling through was a go-to timewaster. Still, objectively not important (to me).
But I've already lamented above about some of the smaller boards. /g/ had a lot of consumerist garbage but some very nice discussion too, and was healthily fast - almost every general-purpose altchan has a "tech" board but they're all absolute graveyards. /diy/ had some nice threads to hang out in. /ck/ was fun to scroll through. /vg/ was mostly a shiftest but there are one or two generals that also felt like part of my home, I'll miss /egg/ if it dies for good, and again the good ones didn't have an associated discord or anything so there's no way for anyone to coordinate and nobody planned any backups. /wsg/ was fun to scroll though once or twice a month. /an/ had some quality threads, and again 8chan apparently has zoo allowed on its /mlp/ but it's going to be orders of magnitude slower, and without any of the non-explicit comfy discussions and the non-horse stuff.

All of this stuff will basically be gone forever without 4chan. Aside from the big boards, 4chan was basically THE western imageboard, and as such THE host for hobby boards. Without 4chan, various hobby topics simply do not have any imageboard space left at all, period. It's all going to be discord servers, maybe half-dead forums, and garbage like that.

>>383750
Ok so, if zebras are niggers, what are actual black horses?

>>383891

>>383890
>All of this stuff will basically be gone forever without 4chan. Aside from the big boards, 4chan was basically THE western imageboard, and as such THE host for hobby boards.

Very true, and that's why i want 4chan to come back up so much. There's simply no place like it. Although i feel like me may be doomposting too much - i mean, the team behind the site is still there. They've got their work cut out for them, sure, but rebuilding the website isn't an insurmountable task. 4chan will be back, probably before may.

>>383888
I'm more optimistic about imageboards
when you think about it, IBs are the simplest form of public forum one can have on the Internet: No registration, just text, images and numbered posts
A noticeable chunk of zoomers dislike modern web, some of them migrate to private discussion platforms just to keep themselves "sane" let's ignore common problem of private discords, okay?/ I do believe that, given a proper environment, boards can become "popular" as they once were years ago.

>>383895
>accidental opened oekaki

>>383831
I was on /fimfiction/ ranting about the Glim fanfic that the kiwi author abandoned since 2013 and I was severely invested in
Then I noticed the /qa/ thing with the hirogook post and the music, listened to it on repeat for quite a while and then everything died when I refreshed the thread

>>383895
>I do believe that, given a proper environment, boards can become "popular" as they once were years ago.
Well, i suppose that's where we disagree. I don't think imageboards will ever truly die - like you said, they offer a very easy way to communicate with other people and on imageboards you don't have to commit to anything or worry about keeping up your image or anything like that. There will always be some demand for such forums. On the other hand, i feel like you are overestimating the amount of people who care about or need this sort of thing. People are fine with Discord and Reddit and whatever other social media they may prefer. Imageboards will always be a pretty niche thing, with 4chan being an exception due to how popular it is.

>>383898
> or worry about keeping up your image
That's an absolutely huge thing, though. Lots of 4chan's boards were driven by posts/threads that were used as a "test" before they "risked" posting them to reddit

>>383884
I hope this site doesn't have the same pdf vulnerability 4chan had.

>>383349
>stable internet connection
Yeah... about that... *dns blocks your favorite thing*

>>383904
That's what vpns are for

Afternoon, this thread seems to be the best place to post.
I'm one of the admins of Ponepaste, I've put up a banner to help lost anons find their way to find more pony.
A few have asked to add this place to the list if you want to send some traffic your way.
If you want me too then I will, the offer is there.

>>383908
Do it.

>>383908
Good man. Let's all remember to give the newfags a warm welcome, they're coming from barbiefag territory.

>>383868
indeed

>>383910
Alright, adding mlpol to banner.

>>383705
Here is how fucked up Peter Thiel is, sir.

I haven't been here in a long ass time, came to see if you horse fuckers outlived 4chan. Glad you made it.

>>383933
Yeah, the amount of esl I saw from leafs was even greater than mutt flags.
It was especially easy to tell them apart from actual canucks when they got riled up over shitposters fucking with them.

>>383151
hello anon from slop, I'm without a home and don't know where to post my slop. Were you the anon doing human ponies?

>>383219
I haven't been here in the past few years, and just remembered about this place today. For what it's worth, I always felt that the "no generals" rule was completely useless. There are still general threads that persist for ages, like that eternal Trixie thread. All that the rule accomplished is that the general threads on this site superficially avoid the G-word in their titles.

While we're still here, is ponerpics ever going to get fixed? There are several functions that straight up don't work like "Related" and galleries.Next and previous image don't work neither. Is there any chance these bugs are going to get fixed?

>>383692
Thank you for your input. ^^
>The Princess and Kaiser and Heart of War
I will check them out. Is Heart of War the one about Flurry Heart become a warrior princess or ruler?

>>383963
Yeah it jumps between her, Anon, and an oc.
I think both technically have her becoming the sole monarch, just with vastly different undertones. Fantastic reads by all means, should probably keep you occupied for 3 or so weeks.

>>383972
>>383963
>incomplete
I strongly urge you to think about this fact before you delve in. I fell for it with "Asylum" and i fell for it with "Equestria's Twilight", and the longer and more engaging the story, the more awful you feel when it ends on a cliffhanger and the author has no intention of ever finishing it. You do you, but i have learned my lesson and only read finished stories now.

>>383975
Wise words, wise words.
I started on The Princess and the Kaiser myself when it was getting nearly weekly updates, and look where it is now - over a year gone by with zero progress.

>>383975
Jej. I once read a manga that accidentally did a late series character development ~40 chapters in, walked it back, then made another 100 chapters of haremslop. Complete waste of time.

>>383977
It's better not to read incomplete stuff, but there's always hope. For example, the author of "after that fateful night" came back ELEVEN years later and finished the story.
https://www.fimfiction.net/story/3669/after-that-fateful-night

>>383980
vpn again.
Also, an anon from /fimfic/ downloaded a fimfiction archive, analyzed it and found a number of other stories that had new chapters added like 10 years later. Of course these are extremely rare outliers, but you never know.

>>383975
Brutal
I pleasantly spent 2 weeks going at a leisurely pace through 130k words of Not My Destiny and Glim, getting invested into the caracters, only to hit the fact that its been left incomplete 12 years ago

>>383975
>>383977
I see where you are both coming from, and I might only be speaking for myself when I say this.
But reading as many stories as possible gives some very helpful insights if you intend on creating your own fic. Be it with plot direction, pacing, and even genre to an extent.
Ive followed Heart of War since 2017 and have subconsciously compared every other single piece I've read with it. So much so that I want to write my own, but don't want to disappoint any readers by inadvertently dropping off the face of the earth.

>>383980
>>383982
This does happen, but it happens extremely rarely, and in the vast majority of cases even if there is one more update it is almost always goes like this
>author comes back after years and years
>posts new chapter
>"hey guys I'm back! I'm gonna finish my old story now!"
>never logs in again
The cases of an ancient story actually getting picked back up AND FINISHED are probably in the single digits, especially if the gap is longer than 2-3 years (a "short" hiatus like that is a bit more plausible).

Mind you for Princess and Kaiser, I don't think it's totally dead, I've heard that apparently the author is really busy IRL but has still been working on upcoming chapters. Plus a single year is not a death sentence yet. But it is still very jarring when you're reading regular updates and then suddenly get stuck for a literal year+, and also the fic is now downgraded from being super active and reliable to "maybe it's not dead, hopefully" which is a lot less certain.

>>383983
That is a fair point. Some people also think the experience is worth the brief disappointment at the end.
Though mind you if you want to read to become a better writer, you're probably much better off reading classic literature, the kind that's critically acclaimed. Some pony fics do reach a very high standard, but most even "good" fics are more like good enough as amateur writing and enjoyable as far as ponyfics go, and of course the majority is really rather subpar and flawed.

>>383983
If you want to write something you should. Maybe it will go somewhere and maybe it won't but at least you have something written that could go somewhere.

>>383985
I've had ideas for a fic floating in my head for years and have committed a lot of ideas to memory and notes. I actually hashed out a rough structure for the first few chapters after reading P&K and put a few paragraphs into pastebin before crashing at my desk.
I'm set for a week of vacation after Easter Sunday, so I'll hopefully be able to throw a prologue up and get some opinions on it in the near future.

>>383988
>Though mind you if you want to read to become a better writer, you're probably much better off reading classic literature
Should also add, I've been neck deep in a lot of black library books and other warhammer literature. Ciaphas Cain and the Gotrek & Felix series to name a few examples. But the mods just had to drop gr15 for the recent April fools and reactivate my itch for pone. Hence my urge to put pen to paper.

>>383983
>>383988
By the way, if this is the first time you're doing any creative writing, common wisdom is that (like most other things you do for the first time) it's very unlikely that you will get everything right. So just like with any other skill, it's important to start actually doing and practicing. But don't necessarily expect to put out a magnum opus with zero prior experience.
Of course that's not prescriptive, and it's possible to start writing and then improve as you go and then for example go back and re-edit earlier chapters. Writing is more important than not writing, either way. Just something to keep in mind - not meant to discourage, but rather on the opposite to encourage you to just go ahead and do it and not get bogged down in perfectionism by setting your own expectations too high for yourself, and thus never getting any practice in because you're unsatisfied with what you're coming up while lacking the practice and experience to do better.

Talking about incomplete fics, I remember when i was epicly trolled by the author. So i see this story - "letters from a friend at the end of the world"
https://www.fimfiction.net/story/65656/
130k words, a Trixie redemption story - an interesting premise, finished , so i decided to give it a read. Guess what? Turned out it's the FIRST part of the story that ends on a cliffhanger, and the second part was abandoned in 2014 after a single chapter.
https://www.fimfiction.net/story/233420/
Why wouldn't you at least leave a note about it in the description or before the first chapter? I was extremely dissapointed.

>>383992
Ah yes the classic Empty Horizons trick (yes I'm still mad)

>>383988
Will keep an eye out for it.

Are we finally past the bump limit?

>>384000
Yes

>>384000
Experiment in progress.

>>384000
been since after 750, but as catalog doesn't really move, keep going

>>384001
Apparently so. So what do we do now? Join other threads or remake this one?

>>384004
For future reference I think the bump limit is 800.

>>384003
Might be 750 yeah.

>>384004
This board seems slow enough that I don't see a point in remaking, at least for now.

>>384004
The Mods could change the Limit, I'm not sure if they can after it's been hit or not though.

>>384009
As it is past bump limit its time is limited no matter what and less and less people will be able to find it as it slides down the board. A fresh thread that collects any useful info before it disappears would probably be wise.

>>384006
It is 750 yes.

>>384012
Fair point. So "4chan refugee rendezvous point" of sorts with a QRD of the hack details and a QRD of /mlpol/ and where to go (mainly highlighting /poner/ and >>383305, basically)

>>383831
Was in the ai thread on /mlp/, went out for dinner and then saw that "/QA/ fucking won" had been appended to everything.

>>384014
or comfy 4chan happening surveillance
also another info package >>>/poner/670 →

>>384014
Something like that. There's also the janny logs to work though. I did about 7 so far and another guy a few more and I might go through more later. It's quite an interesting insight into the life of a janny, gives us an idea of what gets done for free and gives us something to do.

>>384016
That's true.
Actually maybe the next thread should be posted in /poner/, since that's explicitly the /pol/-free /mlp/-only board for /mlp/ refugees. Based anons can then migrate to /mlpol/ also but those who want to remain contained won't have to venture outside.

>>384017
I think an OP/qrd can just link the neocities link. A thread digging through it and posting findings sounds fun though.

>>384021
but any new anons will most likely land in /mlpol/

>>384021
There are loads of logs and that neocities is quite slow to load. Going through them is more difficult than you might think but I believe it's a worthy exercise overall.

>>383831
Ok /trash/sdg making some humongous tittie toriels and naked Krystals.

>>383995
I mean the whole second part of that story has been finished. Of course, that ended on somewhat of a cliffhanger too so I'm waiting for part 3 to be released and hopefully that'll end the story but it's such a well written fic I really don't mind because it takes so long to get through both parts. It also could be worse, you could be waiting for the author to continue Night's Favoured Child for like 12 years.

i can't bake new one as i don't currently have access to my main computers image storage

>>384023
Maybe but not necessarily. I dunno, I'd make it in /poner/ but I don't have a strong opinion on it.

>>384028
I am angry because it's advertised as a "trilogy" but the definition of a trilogy is three separate stories within the same continuity. The Horizons series is literally a single story, just formatted in three volumes, which is not what a trilogy is.

>>384023
I concur
The meeting point for the 4chanocaust in /mlpol/ the site should be a thread on /mlpol/ the board, new bake should stay here

>>383874
Can you tell me where /vt/ migrated to? After april fools I was getting along well with the Vallure thread.

>>384031
>I am angry because it's advertised as a "trilogy" but the definition of a trilogy is three separate stories within the same continuity
Do you want it to be three seperate stories? I kind of liked that the plot focused mostly on the mane six. I assume the author is going for a lotr style where each story continues immediately from where the last one ended and will culmiate with everyone meeting up and having some final epic showdown with celestia or some such. In any case, it could definitely be worse since author is still active unlike Night's Favoured Child where I have to assume the author died or something.

>>384031
You can post where you want but a landing point on /mlpol/ for people finding the website would probably work best to gather people.

>>384038
I am going to make a thread here that collects information about the hack from this thread and anything we know about when/if 4chan is coming back. You can make something on /poner/ as well if you like.

>>384044
Godspeed

>>384035
https://boards.holotower.org/hlgg/index.html from what I've heard. Checking now it looks prodigously active so seems about right.

>>384036
No, I want the author to be clear about it being one story, an incomplete one, rather than slapping the "complete" label and tricking me into reading it.
>I assume the author is going for a lotr style
I agree, yeah
>where each story continues immediately from where the last one ended
No, LoTR style is where it's a single story and it ends exactly once.

>>383875
>1PBID
The fracture point exists now, and didn't exist before. People from nhnb are shitting up mlpol and /poner/, since they believe all the bad people are over here, and all the based people are over there they dont care. The old alliance of /mlp/ and /pol/ doesn't mean anything to these chronic ragefags

>>382875
Mostly altchans, I should think. Xitter was regarded with contempt by most Anons there, excluding botfags and glowies constantly making Xitter screencap threads

>>382944
>>382933
Sharty are a tranny grooming cult backed by feds. They groomed Solomon Henderson to attempt a mass shooting. Don't underestimate their psychopathy or manipulation.

I think feds are under new management and wants their tranny cult to go away. Intel agencies don't announce firings or new plans/goals.

>>384059
>No, I want the author to be clear about it being one story, an incomplete one, rather than slapping the "complete" label and tricking me into reading it.
Eh, I can't really be too mad about it, if it were one story it'd still be listed as incomplete now and as you said, I may have never read it. However, I really enjoyed reading what is finished so far so I don't really have any regrets about it and I assumed the author did it so they could take breaks between writing the different installments.

>>383831
Idk what it was but I was arguing with an anon about how big mares should. Judging by the real ponies, average adult equestrian mares should be around vid related. What do you guys think? Is it a good canon size for mares? Should we ask Ms. Faust how big FiM ponies are?

>>384131
kek that's actually adorable

>>384134
Exactly, its color make me imagine it as pre-alicorn Celestia.

>>384137
>pre-alicorn Celestia.
Beg your pardon?

>>384139
Celestia when she is still normal mare sized, like twilight.

>>384141
Oh alright, I interpreted that as she was on screen at one point in a flashback.
I haven't watched any of the episodes following the release of the movie.

>>384142
It's okay, I should've worded that one differently.

>>382951
>>382950
>>382962
my understanding of the leak was that it was the russian pony based chan that did it.

>>384137
>>384139
Anon is thinking of yellowstar

>>384131
I personally prefer actual pony sized Ie big enough to ride. but there is no wrong way to fantasize.

>>384026
while I hate gook moot and love 4chan, this is going to be a great lasting impression to anyone who thinks this retard owns 4chan.

>>384155
Lasting impression on site quality too. The slow slide into shit was so slow it's hard to notice. It's a breach of fresh air being on mlpol/8chan

>>383874
>The one thing that every /mlp/ poster has in common
there was also the migration off of pastebin to ponepaste that what seemed like a supermajority also agreed upon

>>384183
>pastebin
I'll admit, there's times I miss it. But that's probably the nostalgia speaking.

>>384183
I mean the thing is pastebin wasn't some primary community site, it was just a tool we used to host our greentexts. The tool became unusable, someone made a better tool for poni needs, everyone started using that instead.
A far cry from the board itself getting imploded and everyone having to coordinate moving somewhere else without even being able to, well, talk on the board.

>>384186
you're not wrong
i was referring to the 'oh shit' factor that every anon at the time had, because all it really was one day was pastebin putting up a warning that they were going to start purging pastes (read: shit they didn't like), causing horsefuckers to panic and start archiving everything similar to what /h/ and other boards did when it was thought that sadpanda was getting shut down
that combined effort of archiving/evacuating every last pony greentext from pastebin while ponepaste could get built in the first place really stuck out to me, and the fact that /mlp/ was better prepared for pastebin's purge than /g/, /mu/, or other boards was very amusing to me

>>384187
Oh yeah, archiving is some good autism. Horsefucker archiving is pretty good in general, see: TPA for youtube videos, ponemusic for music (rip though), etc. Or the boorus having multiple copies. Or the /mlpg/ archives which, as far as I can tell, are some of the few surviving archived threads from so far back.
It's nice.

>>383874
>The one thing that every /mlp/ poster has in common is that we were all tolerating /mlp/ as it was, no more rules and no fewer, no better jannying and no worse. It was the lowest common denominator and as such the one place where everyone could still be counted on posting in. With that option removed, and everyone forced to "pick" their "favourite" alternative, the rifts in ideology between the posters are just going to open up immediately and you'll end up with competing camps hating each other. You already see this with nhnb and here.

People are tribal in nature and it getting worse by the day. But in the end of the day it's the survival of the fittest and eventually 4chan had to go down.

>>384158
unfortunately a lot of the places on 4chan i go to probably wont survive without a real chan. the idiots in isekai wont survive smuglo.li's autistic spell everything grammatically correct /a/. /vg/ had a section for kirby, megaman, and falcom games. mlp had tech sanctuary and im just not confident we'll see that continue here but we'll see. I wonder if the mint threads will move here for now. I dont know if I ended up getting my coin or not.

>>384205
>>383874
personally I understand the hatred of barbies given they are ugly and all, but i hope mlpol's poner survives, we already have /ponerpics/ and honestly we need a way to preserve content from eqg especially the voice lines without atuistic ziggers starting fights over it. this isnt fucking 4chan so everyone can >nohooves to their hearts content without tranny jannies approval. that ought to be enough for people. In my opinion while I am a huge 4chan fanboy the site spiritually breathed its last death when the sage command was no longer allowed to be announced so it could not be taught to minorities.

>>384207
I'll say here and say it again, fuck the tranny jannies on 4chan.

There was this russian poster on /pol/ and whenever somebody make a thread with a sexy woman pic in the op, the russian would always reply with a furry fox pic and post that say "no tail". Guess who get ban? The russian furry poster. Everyday I pray that Putin never conscript this man so he can keep posting furry fox pics and making the jannies work.

>>384212
There have been many such staples of culture that were sistematically destroyed by overjannying
The BGC greek dude was also one of them, there was another russian spamming venti with "0/10" on every woman bread, the fact that one could get a very big holiday by provoking lee into the thread (I personally liked doing it with picrel, was hit or miss for both baiting barneyfag and getting b&), surely there are many other better examples
But still, 4ch is like a public walk, society in the open, even if it was full of degeneracy and overmoderation one could still get a chuckle out of it by lurking on a handpicked thread. The fact that sharties went ham on it out of self-righteous wokeism is very retarded
Even more so that the large amount of real organic traffic down there prob went out onto twitter and discord circlejerks at this point, it's only dwindling even more the whole imageboard ecosphere

>>384216
to be honest i dont blame sharty but i also think they where short sighted, if i had that kind of back door i would try to find a way to get long term access.

It's baffling that anyone's treating this as if 4chan is going to die for good when we know for a fact it's infested with feds. It's too useful to them for cointel purposes to go away forever, it'll be a couple weeks at most, but it'll go back up and it'll be back to business as usual.

>>384218
while I agree that it will be back up within a couple of weeks, I am unsure if it will be business as usual. I suspect that there will be a decent sized drop in users. Which might be good for some boards, but bad for places like /mlp/

>>384216
overjannying have destroyed too many boards on 4chan. I know for a fact a tranny janny went hard on /u/.
I also the BGC greek guy. So many funny moments.

>>384224
/u/ used to have a dedicated mlp thread back in the day and do their own rpg maker threads. it was never good even back then but its a shell of itself now which is odd given how much free real estate dykeshittery gets.

>>384218
the problem isnt that we know its useful the problem is theyre a bunch of whiney inshitified retards who can barely even do their jobs on their best day of the year. nobody has any reason to think they wont cock it up enough to kill the site.

>>384225
But I do miss /qa/ before it got shitted up and shut down. Jannies would you ban you if you post the "eating the corndog" meme on /pol/.

>>384222
Imageboard users aren't that transient, I already know a bunch of people that keep trying to get onto the site even though they know it's down, all out of sheer rote.

>>384227
Whether they can do their jobs well or not isn't the relevant bit, it's that they want 4chan to continue existing for cointel purposes. That's pretty much why it stuck around this long despite being decried globally as a so-called problem. It is actively being protected by the US feds ever since they gained control over it in the late 00s over the CP issue, and extended it to /pol/ 2016 and onwards. The US isn't even the only country with a vested interest in 4chan staying online.

>>384235
>Whether they can do their jobs well or not isn't the relevant bit, it's that they want 4chan to continue existing for cointel purposes
if you do a shitty job running the nuclear reactor in a submarine it doesnt matter how much you need the sub, the reactor is going to melt down and you will lose your sub. the people in charge of 4chan have no answer for this, and the fact that it got that way in the first place has everyone cogent of the fact. If they had any sense at all, they would just put the site up and hire a couple people to watch it. but they wont. they are retards anon. utter retards. they cant problem solve like this.

>>384212
I could have sworn he was FSB or some level of government intelligence. His whole job was probably to shitpost anthro waifus, which I can respect. Even though I prefer pony.

>>384273
You don't think it's a bit hyperbolic to be comparing a security hole in a taiwanese papermaking forum to a nuclear meltdown?

at some point i'll need to acknowledge the 4chan tabs open on my browser aren't ever going to update again, but not today. people are strange. i know enough about IT to be aware those threads aren't coming back even if the site comes back. you'd have to fight me to close them.

>>384321
They have thread numbers, so when the site does come back you'll be able to look them up in the archives and also use them as a reminder of which threads to seek out again to lurk in.
That being said it's not necessarily guaranteed they'll do a post DB wipe. They might, especially if it's easier and they find the work to migrate and patch everything already hard enough, so it's perhaps even likely, but there's nothing saying that they must definitely do it.

>>384326
imagine if it comes back, and everyone and their brother tries to respond to chicken jockey which crashes the site again.

>>384338
chicken jockey was the last post on /qa/
I'm pretty sure /qa/ will get completely deleted with no trace of its existence persisting

>>384358
Based. /mlpol/ has final victory over /qa/

>>384359
Frenly reminder: Mlpol shut down /qa/ LONG before Soyjack ever thought to

a guy from here had been hanging out in my thread on trash for a couple of weeks, but now with the rush of people i doubt i'll spot him.

so, fun story about QA, from waaay back. i forgot all about this, but there used to be a guy in my group who made it his life mission to annoy QA. they fucking hated him, it was hilarious. he was an invincible ban evader that would come back any time mods banned him. crazy swedish bastard, i never found out what happened to him.

>>384430
What did he post?
>crazy swedish bastard
now hold on a sec

>>384430
Your thread on trash?
Glad to see you're here!

>>384440
he called himself rainbow wuma, and would post smug rainbow dash pics in 10 seconds flat after every ban.

>>384442
my thread was one of the last remnants of the first /b/ pony threads from a long time ago. i'm the dedicated autist that was keeping the official pony thread alive, if you ever saw it.

>>384444
Yes, I recognized you. Thank you again for your dedication! I'm Hazel by the way.

>>384456
i should have known because of the french flag. it's good to see you. yes, this is smokey. i was considering making a bunker thread for us, but i'm not sure which site to use. there's poner here, which seems mostly mlp types, then mlp on 8chan.moe, and there's also a trash on 8chan. any thoughts?

>>384457
I thought you would recognize me because of the flag. I like this place, sp could be an option too if you want to avoid poner.

i was thinking about it, and it's possible ponies may have indirectly killed 4chan. because when i showed up there, it was a wild west in terms of moderation. People screamed and screamed to "bring back snacks!" as in, return the style of heavy handed modding he'd dished out. then, ponies arrived. people started harassing moot until the point he not only created more mods, but also the janitor position. the hated jannies that would ruin every board, and invite the group that eventually claimed the site's destruction. he also created mlp as an excuse to ban ponies everywhere else. moot only cared about 4chan for the popularity it brought him, so when people at cons started yelling at him about ponies, well. there was going to be some action. but that's why my group never got along with the mlp board, because it was literally made to spite us.

>>384463
i like this place too, and ninjaz did kind of invite us right before shtf at 4chan. i think poner is fine. i don't have any ill will towards the actual people of mlp. in fact one of my friends had been making inroads to unite us before everything died. i'll see what i can do.

>>384466
That's nice you're creating new connections.
Sure, as you like. I'll stay around anyway and I will let Duchess know if you're doing something. Take care.
