She, no need to possibly imply I’m a faggot

>>10808
I saw enough. See, Ive been in musicals. No one said it wasn't enjoyable, and no one said that it shouldn't be celebrated. Having said, it should come as no surprise that I take a contrarian position, especially with significant (amateur) experience.

>>10810
Aw cmon don’t be that faggot, nobody cares that you were Mark the kike in your high school production of RENT

>>10809
Sure

>>10810
Yes, you’re being a nigger with no purpose at all except to be a bigger. What else is new?

>>10811
Lol, no I was in the pit in HS, this is Sacramento productions

>>10813
Ok, nobody cares that you were mark the kike in your after school production of RENT, better?

>>10814
>it's stuck
It was a charity production house affiliated with the Train museum, but likewise no one expects anyone to care. The point is, it's not beyond criticism, and if theres to be brown-nosing, it will be served with salt

>>10815
What are you even doing here if you only exist to shit on everything that’s fun? Fuck off

Oh (you). Don't get all butthurt because someone indicatrd that there are potential criticisms of one thing you liked.
Ffs, I havent even said the criticisms,I just i dicated I have them

Get a room, faggots.
>>10819
>I havent even said the criticisms,I just i dicated I have them
A dozen posts, and you still haven't said anything substantial. Stop wasting people's time and antagonizing people for no reason, and just say what you have to say.

>>10820
Yeah because there were so many updates before

I’m headed to the fallen oaks panel

>>10819
You’re still a nigger with nothing productive to say. You just see that other people are enjoying themselves and try to shit on them.

>>10818
Come to the “Look what you did” panel

>>10818
Your girlfriend literally had nothing better to do than to watch the Maresical though. You should have known better.

>>10820
Insufficient rehearsal:
Tonality was lacking. Please find the beat, even the songs that were re-lyricized were all over the place.
Coreography: you tried, but coreography can be played off, so thats more an aside.
As a silver lining, the anon who directed anons down the middle was the head of the /mlp/ 4chan cup team. He was recognizable by his voice, and I had the chance to add him as a bonus find on my scavenger hunt

>>10818
Okay, you got me there

yup it is him again

Serious question: what part of "you are banned" do you have such a hard time wrapping your head around? I'll admit it's a shame to have to delete those dubs, but that's just the way it goes in the wild wild west...

This is Obviously a convention of pedophiles

>>10885

>>10887
Do you think anyone here actually enjoys having to do this? As you observed, some random anon got banned accidentally today because we thought he was you. You are not just annoying mods, you are actively interfering with other people's use and enjoyment of the site. And we still don't know why. The only thing anyone has ever asked you to do is to please stop being a belligerent asshole, or if you can't manage that, to please leave the site. You refuse to do either, and seem to see yourself as some kind of persecution victim just because nobody wants to put up with your bullshit anymore. At this point, all you need is a British accent and a ridiculous OC that takes it up the ass.

>Why can you not take a joke? Besides, life is a game, or haven't you noticed?
In case you haven't noticed, you're the only one laughing here. You have not been wronged, nobody finds your antics funny, and nobody thinks your position is justified. The situation you're in is entirely of your own making, and at every point where you've had a chance to rectify it you've chosen instead to make it worse. Other than acting like an annoying retard until you run out of proxies, what exactly are you trying to accomplish?

>>10890
Bong here. He's being a cunt for the sake of being a cunt because the cunt has nothing else going on in his life other them being a cunt. Fucking cunt.

>>10892
Facts!!, Also hi bong.

>>10894
I wanted to be sympathetic until you stated you’d refuse to stop being belligerent, which you pretend is “shitposting.”

For the record, I deleted a single post on Saturday. There are other moderators here, and you haven’t made the best impression with them either.

Why can’t you just not be an asshole for one weekend?

>>10894
This is beyond autism, because autistics have trouble picking up on social cues. There are no more social cues. Multiple people have told you you’re not welcome here, current staff, former staff, users, and passersby. If you’ve got so many other friends, go speak to them, but I guarantee you’re lying about this because you spend so much time shitting up this site. You should be ashamed of yourself but you’re such a wall headed coal black retarded gorilla nigger that you don’t have the mental capacity to inwardly reflect. Seek help, or at least one real friend to take up your obviously worthless time.
If I spent this much of my time trying to force myself on people who hate me instead of spending time with those who care, I’d just blow my brains out. It’s pathetic.

>>10890
>if you can't manage that, to please leave the site.
There shouldn't be an "if". Has this faggot not demonstrated time and time against that he doesn't deserve anymore second chances? He doesn't respect the community or the rules, and he's earned a permanent ban more than a dozen times over now.
>At this point, all you need is a British accent and a ridiculous OC that takes it up the ass.
He does have an ugly disassociative identity female fursona he dresses as, with a cringey Scottish accent, so I think he's already past that level.
>10894
>As far as shitposting is concerned, can't stop won't stop
>"I have no sense of etiquette or self control. Why don't people want me here?"
What a loser.
>You have your niche, I have mine.
Good. So go back to your niche and leave.
>>10895
>I wanted to be sympathetic
Don't be. He doesn't deserve it.

>10894
Deleted because you're still banned, screencapped and reposted because at this point its probably better to have a public record of what a jackass you're being.

>What are you, Taylor Swift?
Pssh, I wish; I loves me some TayTay. Oops I Did it Again, Genie in a Bottle, Livin La Vida Loca, My Heart Will Go On... all fantastic stuff.

>He means stop shit-posting at him.
No, what I mean is that we would all like you to please stop being a belligerent asshole. It's all anyone has ever asked you to do. I know you like to imagine yourself as some kind of hero shitposter taking on the humorless jannies, but that isn't what's happening here. You are acting like an annoying retard, and we would like you to please stop.

>I have numerous testimony to that point from this weekend. Everyone I spoke to laughed about it.
Look at you, making friends and being sociable. Too bad your shitty personality always outs itself sooner or later, and you invariably end up alienating everyone.

>If you're taking it personally, you're doing it wrong.
I actually don't take any of this personally. You're just a guy on the internet, and stuff that happens on the internet is not that important in the grand scheme of things. You annoy me sometimes, but that's about as far as it goes.

>I'm just following the rules.
You're quite literally not following them, but we'll put a pin in that for now. The rules of this site have always been informal and sporadically enforced, mostly because we assume that our users have a basic grasp of how human social interaction is supposed to work, and can regulate their own behavior without an overbearing schoolmarm clucking over their shoulder. In some specific cases, this approach does not always work.

>I do however, acknowledge that I was given something of a pass for the weekend.
Don't mistake lack of interest or attention for a pass. The main reason you've been able to lob a few posts under the radar here and there is because we didn't have as many people watching the board this weekend, and because the assumption is that most of the posts in this thread made during the con would be coming from hotel wifi, thus making IP bans an exercise in futility. The world doesn't revolve around you and your petty grievances; we've got other shit to do than worry about cleaning up your shitposts.

>It was much appreciated, and you'll find I'm more willing to be reasonable going forward as a result.
I'm just going to press X to doubt here. If you were ever willing to be reasonable, none of this would be happening in the first place. You wouldn't be banned from posting, you'd probably still be on staff if you wanted to be, and nobody would have any problems with you. Everything that has happened is a direct result of you getting insanely angry over trivial things that no sane person would hold a grudge over, refusing to be reasonable about any of it, and then systematically burning any bridge that anyone tries to extend to you, including the ones that you yourself extended to other people.

>And to the dickbag who tried to suggest that I don't have friends in the fandom, you'd be surprised at how many people were happy to finally meet me, already making plans to collaborate for next year.
Good for you; friendship is magic and so forth. My impression of you is that you actually don't have that much trouble making friends, you just have trouble hanging on to them because, again, your shitty personality always ends up outing itself sooner or later. You can get along just fine with people for awhile, until some trivial thing sets you off and it goes south from there. I don't know you that well, but from my interactions with you I can only conclude that you have legitimate psychiatric problems and need professional help.

>You have your niche, I have mine.
Again, pressing X to doubt here. If you had anything better to do with your time than annoy people on this website, you'd be off doing it.

>See you next time!
Now this I don't doubt.

>Your definition of "not an asshole" is a penitent and submissive; that's not happening.
This combination of words does not make sense, grammatically or logically.

>What I WILL do is what I want. If you or others insist on deleting my posts, that's on you, but imagine the impression it gives to potential new users for one of it's most prominent advocates to have posts deleted and shit, simply because he refuses to tow the line that most specifically hinges on a 5th rate ruleset
Step 1: Google "oppositional defiant disorder."
Step 2: Call a doctor and tell them you have it.

>>10908
>another detractor voice whatever shall I do
Nigger you were tripping over yourself to shake my hand and cock

God , This is the weirdest and most confusing internet drama ever.
Ninjaz kinda argues like a toxic ex wife who still loves her partner but wants to shit on him too at the same time.

Sven here. I have stayed out of this until now, and I'll probably remain outside of it because: A) I honestly have not idea what it's about outside of the e-names of some of the participants. B) I'm not willing to dig into it, as I kinda assume whatever it is about will blow over soon, perhaps. Maybe not. Maybe that's just what I want.
Anyway, whenever drama happens I always go back and ponder if I treated Nigel well in the past. I end up going back through the archives, trying to figure out if I did him wrong. I can never really decide if I am guilty or not. But I always feel bad. I feel like I could have done better when interacting with him.
That's also why I try to not end up in much drama these days. It kinda haunts me.

>>10908
>one of its most prominent advocates
This nigger is such an egotistical faggot, it's unreal
>That's not what you said when I showed it
I lied.
I embellished my opinion out of politeness to try to keep a relationship going. Just like all of the other ways I bent over backwards to keep this faggot satisfied. This was a mistake on my part.
>>10912
It's quite feminine behavior. I wouldn't be surprised if he trooned out in the end.

>>10913
>e-names
I mean, I know you guys. Well, your internet (you)s. If they are not too different from your real yous.

>>10913
Nigel wasn't nearly as belligerent or malignant as this faggot. Imo, Nigel was just socially handicapped, although I can't say for sure because avoided interacting with him directly.

>>10911
I haven’t touched alcohol in ages. I had ONE drink with Lotus last year as a sign of respect, and you didn’t deserve that respect

There's a saying that goes: "a husband and wife fight, and fools believe it."
Why do I feel like this fight is kinda gay? It's like both sides are just pretending to fight. Otherwise, this much pointless, dragged-out drama feels more like a staged show meant to make us think there's a fight.
I don't really think both sides are actually fighting each other, it's just us being dumb enough to believe they are.

>>10919
I’m not gonna lie to you friend, all the actual drama happened long after I was “gone” from mlpol as a personality so I’m not 100% on it. I was asked by someone if they could shake my hand, I half-ass acquiesced to it if they put in all the effort to find me, and that was the end of it until I checked in on the thread post-con
All of my commentary today is based on what I’m seeing in this thread

>>10919
Feels like watching WWE.
but i think Lotus and John Elway are just too patient.

>>10919
I would be glad if the ban evader just went away. I try to avoid addressing him directly because I don't want to give him attention.

>>10921
>but i think Lotus and John Elway are just too patient
What more could they really do besides ban him? He's already permabanned.

Tbh, I we should probably move this to another thread to not shit up the Mare Fair thread.

>>10923
Marefair is over and it can have a new thread next year, and namefag mod drama doesn’t deserve its own thread

>>10923
>What more could they really do besides ban him?
nothing much, and 100% not their first time dealing with tthis kinda shit , i respect that they gave both nigel and ninjaz the benefit of the doubts and tried to reason them. it shows that they are not in the wrong.
>moving it to another thread.
eh would not change anything, mf comes back again and ruins another thread.

>>10927
and you sure proved that you're in the right by threatening people and act like a complete lunatic.
i also heard that you bullied that nigel dude kinda..might be someone else.

>>10927

Now you’re just a sad human being living in the distant past refusing to let something go. 2017 was a lifetime ago and if you haven’t found something better to do with your time after leaving the administration of this site I genuinely feel pity for you. I was asked to leave for a retarded reason and in 2025 my concerns are for my house, my career, my future wife, my family. Not for a site that made it clear my services were no longer required 8 years ago.

>>10928
>and you sure proved that you're in the right by threatening people and act like a complete lunatic
Ikr. He was unironically threatening to strangle people at the convention, and pushed it further by announcing his presence there and proximity to congoers on this site at every opportunity, like a goddamn stalker.
It is not "complicated": he absolutely deserves the permanent ban, and possibly a court order on top of that.
>>10929
It's nice to see you still drop in every now and then Sapphire.

>>10930
Like a black father, I show up and hurl abuse when it’s least appreciated <3

>10927
>I was kicked from Admin for following Lotus' advice in dealing with Nigel.
You were kicked from admin because you took a minor disagreement with Pupper over editing posts, and escalated it into a giant shouting match that went on for literal hours. You did this on multiple occasions when you were on staff. You are the only person I've ever encountered who was able to actually make Pupper lose his temper. You can't handle being told "no" on anything; you always get belligerent and turn every minor disagreement into a huge confrontation, and always over some extremely trivial, minor issue that could have been settled in ten minutes with a civil conversation. You do this shit all the time. You did it a few months ago in movie night, on a couple of different occasions, actually. Whatever this most recent tiff in Lotus's game thread was about, it was presumably something similar because this is a consistent pattern of behavior with you. This is why nobody wants to deal with you anymore.

>This is way more complicated than you think
The irony here is that it's actually far less complicated than you think. Just stop being an asshole, that's the end of it.

>>10916
>>10913
Nigel's problem was basically just autism: being completely wrapped up in his own headspace and niche obsessions, and being too socially inept to gage whether or not people were interested in what he had to say. He had like three or four topics that he liked to talk about, mostly weird niche interests that nobody could relate to, and he would just post endlessly about them in this inarticulate stream-of-consciousness style. Invariably it would get on people's nerves, and they would tell him to shut up, and then he would get defensive and start in on the persecution stuff. It got old quick. The fact that he seems incapable of expressing himself without resorting to insults and profanity never helped him either.

I was very, very patient with him for a very, very long time, mostly because I think he genuinely doesn't understand why people find him so obnoxious. I also think the persecution stuff, the discord conspiracies and the glimmerniggers and so forth, was all real to him, simply because he doesn't understand. So, the only conclusion he can draw when people shit on him is that he's being attacked for no reason, and when it keeps happening over and over, he sees it as a conspiracy.

However, there are only so many times you can explain the same thing to the same person before concluding that it's a waste of time. The main thing the Nigel drama has over the Ninjas drama is at least the Nigel drama was funny.

>Nigel's problem was basically just autism: being completely wrapped up in his own headspace and niche obsessions, and being too socially inept to gage whether or not people were interested in what he had to say.
Yeah, that was my first impression of him too. I just avoided him.
Back in my middle school, they had the brilliant idea to punish and humiliate high-functioning autists by making them "mentor" (babysit + do homework for them) the low-functioning autists. The result is that I know a low-functioning autist when I see one, and I just try to give them a wide berth because I've done enough tardwrangling for one lifetime.

Could be BPD or possibly even schizophrenia.
We really should reopen the asylums.
>The main thing the Nigel drama has over the Ninjas drama is at least the Nigel drama was funny.
True. Nigel did make me laugh every now and then. Ninjaz is just tiresome.

>>10943
I almost got fired from my job at the time because I was banning spammers while checking people out at the shithole gas station I worked at

>>10944
Yeah, I remember when the scammers came in droves every single day. It was a wild ride.

>>10945
It was hard for them because I was working 16 hour days so I always had time to check mlpol between work shit, they had to think there were 3 of me

>>10943
>It's not necessary to document everything the faggots says.
I know. But he's always complaining about the post deletions potentially reflecting badly on the site, so I document them in case anyone needs proof that the deletions were justified.

>>10944
I was delivering food orders for a living at the time. I remember one instance where I was at a restaurant waiting for an order, and the waitress came up and brought it while I was browsing the board and happened to glance at my phone. The page was covered in swastikas and Hitler images and whatever, so I swiped up quickly, and the page scrolled down a short ways and of course came to a stop right on an ocean of horse pussy. She didn't say anything but she clearly saw it. Was pretty funny in retrospect.

>>10946
Actually, I think I was also working 15-16 hour days around that time period.

So, since there's nothing to occur wrt Marefair - at least not until next year - is anyone gonna get mad if I annex this thread?

>>10970
I'd miss looking at the pretty pink marebits, but that's it.

>>10970
Annex it for what, exactly?
I noticed that there was a lot less enthusiasm for Mare Fair on /mlpol/ compared to last year. Was 2025 a lacklustre gathering?
I've never been to a convention before, but I've always been curious about the tulpa panels Mare Fair had. Might any of the attendees seen anything related this time around? I looked in the Google Docs spreadsheet and didn't find anything relevant.

>>10972
different anon here
I'd say no, just that we were all too busy running around saying hi to friends, and in my case, vending at the same time.
I did see a few of you guys, but at least I was way too busy doing things to post more mlpol or hang out much.
You guys will thank me later because my next big project is going to be yuge™
at least until I get over this coof, can't start yuge™ projects until I feel better.

Bong here. Not only are you a cunt, you're a fucking idiot to boot. Go figure.

Figure 1 is a post made by Ninjaz, today.
Figure 2 is the last post made on this site by Nigel, aka Glimmernigel aka SilverStarApple aka SparkapocalypseVanguard aka Jason Godwyn. Both posts were made from proxies because both users were banned at the time they posted.

I would like to call attention to the following common traits between the two posts:

>autobiographical blogposting
>attention whoring
>bad formatting and grammatical errors
>persecution complex
>"I am not the problem, (You) are the problem"
>"haha I'm not even mad, that's why I'm typing this, to show you how not mad I am"
>"why should I respect u if u don't respect me"

I offer no further context as to why these two screencaps are displayed together. Users are free to read both posts and to draw their own conclusions. Alternatively, users can choose to just ignore both of these fuckwits, forget about silly internet drama, and go read a book or something or go outside.

Figure 3 is a cute picture of a pony wearing a firefighter costume. I didn't attach it for any particular reason; just enjoy it.

That is all. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It's changing venues and has at least 6 months to find a new one. It'll probably be within 50km of the Rosen Center too because it's Orlando. Maybe at the Marriot, the Mare-iot

Discussion started about this in a thread on /mlp/, of course it got deleted.
Anyway, I decided to read that article, some real golden lines in that thing:
>Cites the infamous Atlantic article and fucking BronyFandon't in the very first paragraph (off to a great start!)
>Anonymous quote about how bad MF is in that same paragraph
>"milking fandom with silver coin sales and his own cryptocurrency" (referring to Corp, of course they don't bother searching for what he has to say for himself: https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/39411882/#39421031 )
>puritan screeching about "explicit adult references" and horse pussy
>"The silver coins that [Corp] pushed are loaded with more 4chan and horse vagina references. What a coincidence." (A coin celebrating /mlp/ contains /mlp/ references, absolutely insane)
>"Both men [Corp and Lightsolver] are on the articles of incorporation." (this leads to a broken link kek)
>Bullshit about furfag-Brony/Horsefucker ties
>Random anonymous comment from Horse News (which they only now realise is a 4chan thing, kek) used as source of early disapproval of MF
Of course, the fact that said comment was expressing concern over MF being a scam (which time has proved it is definitely not) is never mentioned.
>"Sethisto fired his right-hand staffer, Calpain, for trying to get him to stop harboring problem people with right-wing bias. Channers doxxed Calpain and got him fired as a teacher."
Another uncited/anonymous source. Funny part is that neither Calpain nor Seth would really agree with this:
<Today he pulled my admin privileges fearing that because I dislike him I might delete the blog. [Calpain]
<EQD won't be the same without him. There is no world at all where I'm going to ever match that. I'm the polar opposite. [Seth]
First time I hear of Calpain getting fired from his job. If that's true, I assume it'd be over this (funny how the puritan furfags conveniently don't bring this up) https://mlpol.net/sp/24929#24941
>Sources for this story draw a direct line from 2017, when 4chan merged /mlp/ and nazi sub-boards, as an April Fool’s joke that never really went away.
The classic triptych of "doesn't know Aryanne threads were common before 2017", "thinks /pol/ is all nazi", and "misusing board terminology"
>Eventually, deeply involved people quit fandom due to “noticing weird stuff”. They mention people carrying sex dolls out in the open and Foalcon
Sourcing is really weak in the article, ain't it?
>Some stuff about musicians being paid in crypto
Another classic fabrication. See https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/39643403/#39647436
>Muh nazi shit (ignore the actions that MF took against it)
>Mare Fair actively tried to suppress people from talking about it, including threatening fake legal action
That's the shit that gatorfag was trying to spread, ain't it?Funny how they still don't have any proof of it being fake aside from "it seems to be so".
>Look at this fag MF apparently hired and then fired! Please ignore that last part!

The rest of the article is bitching about Lightsolver (...fair enough, but he wasn't even on MF staff as far as I'm aware?) and trying to convict Corp of being a zoophile (because of an incomplete archive and a vague policy of allowing "NSFW (including of actual horses)", for the thought of that policy being directed to horses fucking other horses did not come to the furfag's mind). Oh, and more whining about crypto. And Neighcon.

Long story short, it's a shit article. Some Wikipedia articles that mentioned MF now have it cited as a source (this, of course, caused some worry in the 4chan thread). I personally don't think it would be that hard to prove that, at least in this case, Dogpatch is an unreliable source.

>policy code change thread turned into a three threads of shitshow drama
Oh boy

Remember that shitty Dogpatch article? Made a paste about it. It's essentially complete, but it lacks refinement. Feel free to post criticism, suggestions for improvement, things to add, all the usual. In particular, a comprehensive outline of all the Lightsolver nonsense (I haven't kept up with it that much) would be much-appreciated.

I wanted to post this on some MF thread, but alas, by the time I finished, there were none.

Updated paste. In short:
>The paste is now set to public
>Main change: added a long summary section (maybe a bit too long? Too compact? Not sure)
>Added a short to-do at the start
>Changed tags
>A few minor fixes and changes (e.g. changed articled to article)
>Renamed that miscellaneous section from near the end
As before, criticism is very welcome.

Article has been updated

The original plan I had in mind to expand the paste was to tackle BronyFandon't's claims that DP regurgitates directly (in fact, I already have some things written up). Well then, seems I have to put that on hold for now.
Some quick thoughts.
Let's start with the biggest thing. An otherwise small section called "Insight from the pony fan community". What is it about?
>A long message came in response to a mention above of “Foalcon”
<I have some information that hasn’t been widely discussed [...] The fandom’s top content sites have long harbored and promoted foalcon, normalizing it to the point where speaking out against it often leads to severe backlash. The far-right and pedophiles frequently control these spaces, making dissent difficult [...It goes on and on]
Holy. Shit.
In the paste, when I got to their mention of Foalcon, I made a small joke that one of their sources is Databyte and that this is his way of enacting revenge on channers for stopping his anti-foalcon crusade before it could even start. Turns out that "joke" is, at least to some extend, a reality.
So then, anons. The second crusade (or jihad if we're going by HK47's conventions) may be upon us. Stay vigilant, be prepared.

Now for some other points.
>section about Lemon Drop
To be honest, he kinda fucked up with that zoophilia comment. You could've left it at "fiction ain't real", but noooo, you gotta mention zoophilia. I get what he was trying to say (or at least I hope so), but... c'mon, think about your wording.
LD, make a clarification for fuck's sake, no one's going to do it for you.
>[The DDoSing segment]
Fun fact - on their Bluesky, they first claimed this DDoS'er was somehow related to MF sponsors, if not a sponsor themselves. Seems they changed their mind on that, probably because they don't have any evidence.
>Corrections about Equestria Daily
Turns out Calpain isn't very happy about not being contacted by DP in the making of the article. Gee, I wonder why.
>Disingenuous excuses for Mare Fair
It's the section that there's most to write about, and it's also one that requires some (probably minimal, will see) research to be done to properly respond. Some things I immediately notice: complaining over MF choosing to ban *all* political symbols of totalitarian ideologies, not realising the connotations of "milking", wanting MF to impose an unenforceable policy...

So yeah, such is the state of things. Much work is to be done.
