i'm looking for any survivors from the threads on trash, or anyone who was in that "pony community" thread on mlp right before the hack. you're all welcome to post here.
>>2447 You sir are in the WRONG house for that kind of posturing no, you totally can, you'll just get shit on for it. >>2452 I'm so glad you made it ^_^ You'll find the site more receptive to image, animations, and movie types
>>2425 I've looked at your threads a few times when I get curious about /trash/ Is your bumping automated or do you manually generate then upload slightly different versions of the same thing for hours on end
i think that community thread proved there's at least a few people around mlp who aren't unbridled cock throttling fagmasters. there was some good conversation and nice trolling in there. whatever side of the tripfag debate you were on, i read your posts and enjoyed it. feel free to reignite that ancient debate, i have a good feeling about it being resolved with a few extra words added to the pile.
>>2489 i generate batches of 300 of a particular pony at a time. these are used as source images for WAN 2.1 animations. or they will be, if i can ever get the prompting right for that. my posting was never automated, i just used a captcha solver script that was like having a free 4chan pass.
>>2498 I ain't giving up just because I was told to go fuck myself. That attitude didn't get us where we were. Plus, I have a good thread topic now, asking about if anyone has actually played the Chinese TCG, since It's going global. Pic Related
>>2504 very unfortunate timing, but i do have that thread still open in a tab. if 4chan ever comes back i'm ready to bump it. got my trash thread open too. have you been having a good 4chan vacation?
>>2507 looks fun. though i've never been able to understand how card battle games work. i used to sit and watch my friends play series one MTG and have no idea what was going on.
>>2508 It's been hectic as shit. As soon as shit went down, I started blasting Mlpol (respectfully) across discord, and we've had more than a few bad-actors trying to start shit. Its a really good time to have chronic insomnia.
>>2523 Well, I've been looking at ways to make Mlpol more receptible to more ponies (and your comments aided this process) for some time. April 1st presented the idea of losing boards, so I did what I could; I didn't plan any of this.
>>2425 >Retarded newfags who larp about muh /b/threds find /poner/ because of course you cant get rid of it, it's like a weed >Said oldfags cant even put their tripfag general in the subject name >Denied that they had any discord while on /mlp/ >Openly talk about their discord while on mlpol
>>2531 You know this shit didn't work on 4chan, and that was when the boards were getting flooded with modspam. Do continune, but be advised, this isn't where you're used to.
>>2553 we don't care if you accept us. we're here and that's it. so strap in and hopefully, if we clap for 4chan enough it will come back to life one day and we can get back to arguing there.
>>2552 Excuse me for a moment >>2553 If you think I won't embarrass you to illustrate how out-of-your-goddamn-mind you are, you're sadly mistaken. Please, be a dear and shush, the adults are talking. >>2552 Apologies. It was amazing, but don't look to me for an unbiased perspective.
>>2560 Excuse me again, what I meant to say is: "If you think I won't embarrass myself JUST to embarrass you to illustrate how out-of-your-goddamn-mind you are, you're sadly mistaken.
>>2560 > this shit didn't work on 4chan, and that was when the boards were getting flooded with modspam. Please tell the class what the mental cripple means by this.
>>2564 a lot of people start out arguing in these threads and eventually find common ground. others become hilarious antagonists. it's all good either way.
>>2571 sure. we had one guy who was an avatarfag for jack spicer from the old show xiaolin showdown. he was always scheming to take us down. we also had a guy who called himself accelerator, who would spam us to image limit in less than 10 minutes with anime pics. he eventually joined us. we also had a scat spammer who stuck around for months and months, and eventually had a lulzy flameout over being ignored. then he also joined us. i forget who he became. i guess it doesn't matter.
The truth is... I want you to resist. I'm not here to save you. I'm not here to spread the greatness of the Anon Empire. I'm here because I enjoy this. See, to me, there is no greater pleasure than feeling the warmth of my post... drenched in (You)s.
the news told me today that 11 million people had been perma banned from 4chan. what the news doesn't know is that you could get banned more than once per thread. so five of those bans are mine.
I will warn that with the slowness of these boards, you won't have to feel the compulsion to bump all the time. I hope that doesn't discourage visitation. ^_^
Posting Ironhoof, cuz 4chan got all pissy when I did
>>2633 i still recall how hilarious it was when insider got banned chromy's TF2 server for aimbotting. i bet if he were here right now he would let us know that definitely didn't happen (it did).
>>2654 This thread is an offshoot of the Official Pony Thread of /trash/ The point is the perpetuity of ponies, and seemingly whatever banter happens while that goes on. It's a time-honored tradition dating back over a decade.
Yes, you read that correctly, over a decade. Do wipe your feet
>>2653 at one point everyone in the thread (except me) was obsessed with team fortress 2. one guy named chromy was tech savvy enough to set up a server. a guy named insider was caught aimbotting on it and banned. then in the process of trying to prove his innocence, he was exposed as also being a player on a server called "the fur pound". he never lived that down, since he had started out as a troll of the furfags before meeting us.
>>2649 Ah, man. I miss Chromy. They were a good friend until we had a falling out.
>>2652 Many of us do. It's not really shitposting though, it's only ponyposting.
>>2662 Insider is dead, IIRC. I'm pretty sure he was the first of the old threads to go. Trucky told me a long time ago, actually. I THINK it was Insider. If so, he wrapped a motorcycle around a tree.
>>2633 >These are a continuation of Smokey's /trash/ threads, not the /mlp/ community threads. There's no difference it's the same tripfag blog central!
>>2673 When you have one of your own tripfags talking about blasting about /poner/ on discord, to congregate here you can't turn around and say there is no offboard discord faggotry. >>2519 There is obviously discord communication between all tripfags here or you wouldn't have all shown up at once.
>>2676 Smokey doesn't have a discord moron, he contacted us through a number of other services. We're friends from the old /b/ days -- we have connections. We don't have a discord supporting this, or any, threads. Also, my threads were a completely independant endeavor that I invited nobody but Smokey to -- and I invited Smokey through his /trash/ thread, not Discord, because Smokey doesn't even have a discord. Seethe more, it's really funny.
>>2671 wow, that's terrible. jeez. you should never ride motorcycles, i don't care how cool they look. it takes one mistake and you're dead. i do like building them though.
>>2675 i see you survived the fall of 4chan. that hack was a generational touchstone, so hopefully you had some fun in the chaos.
>>2676 there are few things i despise more than discord, and i will never use it. but you can't really argue in this case that it didn't help people find mlpol in general. i only made the thread her because hazel suggested it. i was ready to go to 8chan trash. i'm really glad i didn't.
>>2685 Smokey this Smokey that, you sure like to use this faggot as a deflection tactic a lot, while ignoring the fact Smokey a tripfag, congratulated another tripfag for using discord to and I quote "good move getting the word out like that" >>2523
>>2676 >>2688 Also, I met Ninjaz (provably, check desuarchive) less than two weeks ago in the /trash/ thread, I have no idea what their discord is or even that they had a discord. I got a ping from Smokey from a source outside of Discord or I wouldn't even be here.
>>2693 I'm sorry you're a blowhard who doesn't realize you're in Smokey's thread, so he's always relevant here. i also thought you were accusing Smokey of having Discord, because I'm here because Smokey reached out elsewhere and I missed Ninjaz's post about inviting through discord entirely. What a joke you are, you and your pisspoor policing.
>>2700 >on /poner/ This is Smokeys thread buddy, no one but Smokey can make it and always has to be talked about >on /mlp/ This is MY thread, no one but ME can make this and I have to always be talked about This is why nobody likes tripfags.
>>2707 In case it escaped your notice, the person who was trying to hijack the /mlp/ thread did so by attempting to pretend to be me, did so with an intentionally provocative picture designed to make the board even more spiteful of us and wasn't even the only impersonator trying to make the fake thread happen. I was perfectly comfy letting someone else make the thread as long as I could tell they weren't actively malicious, which the people who made the other friend provably were.
Also if you knew jack or shit, you'd know that the reason these are called Smokey's threads is because Smokey has been keeping the /trash/ pony community alive for almost 5 years even when very few were around to post. I didn't call my threads 'Northern's' threads. I didn't even use my trip in the OP because I didn't want them to be about me, but you and your shitass cadre had to force me to change that by attempting to hijack them. Now you're gonna get even less of what you like, because you dipshits couldn't handle the nicest possible attempt at showing what things were like.
>>2707 you can make the next thread if you want. anyone can, really. don't think you can pull some fuckery with it, like that would matter. we've seen the Master Troll tactic of pretending to be one of us and then deleting the thread, many times before. but by all means.
>>2714 few people understand that the reason i keep those threads going isn't for the people who post there. it's for the ones who don't. some people need to be able to live their lives, and not worry about whether or not a pony thread is up on 4chan. i take that burden away, and it's a pleasure to do it.
>>2721 Indeed, Smokey. I respect you for it. You've done a lot to keep things going, even when people kept fucking off to Discord. There aren't many people who have put in the effort you have to keep the spirit of something alive, and even if I spent a lot more time anon on /mlp/, it is comforting to know that you're still trucking along. It's important, in its own little way.
>>2731 I posted both of those, idiot. The first one was mod deleted. The one with the picture of Papyrus from Undertale and Pim from Smiling Friends is the one that was posted by the imposter.
>>2739 I'm pretty sure it was a mod who didn't realize what was happening in the old thread. It was about 15 minutes before the Mikus appeared at the top.
>>2737 >NOOOOO he used a picture I DONT LIKE this makes us look bad! Are you five? What the fuck kind of mental tripretardation is this? Not hugboxy enough for you? Then that should clue you in that your culture was forced as fuck.
>>2742 People on /mlp/ hate "Tumblrtale" as they call it. That and, as >>2721 pointed out -- It's a classic, common tactic to pretend to be someone to make a thread and then delete it. You have no leg to stand on here. You look like a screeching idiot who can't handle being wrong. Keep going, please.
>>2745 yeah, kick his ass. that's what we condone. i mean, we might as well at this point. this is like the internet apocalypse, it's kill or be killed.
I'm going by Tripefag now because this whole 4chan hacking stuff is a lot to digest lol. >>2747 Smokey are you saying we should online jump him? Based as frick! I'm in friendo.
>>2749 Also the / in the name was actually a typo. I was planning on putting /b/ in there, but decided against it, but managed to miss hitting the final backspace, lol.
The name was supposed to be "Classic Pony -Community- General", or "Classic /b/ Styled Pony Community General". Which do you think sounds better?
>>2750 What did friendo mean by this? >>2751 I don't watch movies lol I have no idea what that is friendo. >>2752 "/b/" would get it deleted off of /mlp/ friendo.
>>2756 i can't remember the last movie i watched. i just hate paying attention to something for two hours. and i'll probably never go to a theater again. at this point i only know of celebrities because their weird twitter political freak outs and not any of the stuff they've been in.
>>2756 /b/ styled might not, since /mlp/ moderation knows the board roots, was my initial thought. Though as I said, I went back on that and attempted to go with the former.
>>2755 Still on that line, huh? I tried to make the OP in a way that Anons could make a new thread, but that was abused nearly instantly by you and yours. You've done nothing but demonstrate why a Tripfag OP is necessary to even have a community thread at this point.
>>2749 I'm surprised they decided not to make the Anons trixie, seeing as how she's the only pony here.
>>2746 So you claim you know enough about /mlp/s culture that an OP pic will convince people that tripfags are shit But not enough about /mlp/s culture that tripfagging was already looked as shit in general from years of attention whores just like you
>>2757 I don't have any social medias because you can't use trips on them and that angers me greatly I tell you what friendo. Could you gen Rainbow Dash drinking milk straight from the jug that would make my night Smokey? >>2758 You know how the tranny jannies are, always tryna keep a tripnigga down and shit. >>2762 Stop it already bud. You aren't acting like a friendo. Trips will improve /mlp/s culture.
>>2763 my pony generator is already churning on something else, but i'll put it on my list. hey, if you don't have social media, how do you get to know what the approved narrative espoused by the government is? i guess you'd have to look one of the other places where it's relentlessly blasted.
>>2762 Oh I know damn well exactly how Tripfags are looked at. I've been posting as an anon on /mlp/ for 13 years. But, the old /b/ threads were name optional, and in the wake of the April Fools event, I saw an opportunity, since there were a lot of people on /b/ posting, to attempt to revive some of that old community culture we used to have. It was never about attention, it was about community. The fact that you can't distinguish the two shows me that you've either never had a group of friends that weren't trying to constantly one-up each other or you're a complete dumbass who can't conceive of people wanting to know each other for the sake of knowing each other.
AiM and YiM and Skype all existed back in the old /b/ days, we didn't use those for the community because the value of the community was that it was a community of people who came together on a board to create a home. That was the point of the /mlp/ community threads, to try to bring some of that spirit back to /mlp/ that /co/'s old remnants choked the life out of across time. That's why i didn't put my trip in the OP, because I didn't want it to be about me. You're a salty newfag who's crab bucketing everyone else down to your shithole level where nobody can even attempt to make friends on board anymore. I'm sorry, but the pony community isn't entirely in agreement with what you feel entitled to. I didn't go to discord or anywhere offboard to find posters, yet they came.
/mlp/ is not a monolith united behind your way of thought. Continuing to try to shove that way of thought onto everyone, when they can very clearly see that they all came from the board to discuss things together isn't going to work for long. Your every action during this whole affair reeks of desperation and the sad part is you don't even realize that you can't 'win' against the idea of people coming together and having a community discussion thread.
fun fact: in nhnb, multiple anons openly stated that 1) they are actively targeting the tripfag general... 2) ...using both anon posts and tripfag posts, notably including the name Tripfag, who intends to act in the most stereotypical attentionwhore way 3) they're hyping this random bogeyman norre who supposedly also participated in the trolling at some point
It's clear as day that anons are baiting, trying to confuse and poke at the most vulnerable egos; obviously shitty behavior. Equally shitty are the people who take the bait. as was discussed in the first thread, consider, maybe, not doing that.
Aside from that, if the "community thread" is a continuation of an old social club, if it has any association with the past besides good manners, I don't want anything to do with it, especially if the oldfags are this fucking dense. No wonder it's just two people left.
>>2775 Don't call my friend Northern a queer you jerkwad. I doubt he is and that's really hurtful to say. If you came from /b/ you would know he likes Twilight newfag. Do better.
>>2775 That's me. No fun Northern! Seriously though, I loosen up a bit when things start going smoothly. The only reason I'm so high strung and humorless right now is because of the exact circumstances. Plus, since
>>2777 >old social club If you consider a community comprised of every single poster of an entire board being welcomed in at any given time a club, then I suppose any gathering of people who do or don't know each other is a club.
I also don't really give a damn what people do to attack this thread, as said. As long as it has genuine interest from the board, it will proceed.
>>2771 i also want to point out, you and i haven't posted together for many years. i invited you to the thread on trash after i saw you posting with your name in the /b/ thread on april fools day. then you returned the favor when you started that mlp thread.
>>2777 this entire group is literally constructed of people who thought they could "infiltrate" us. fwiw, he's wrong. i misdirected him to think i was posting on mlp. i was actually just lurking.
>>2780 >>2775 *plus since we're not on 4chan, I don't really give a fuck right now and am perfectly content arguing as I please with whoever I please. Smokey enjoys the drama anyway.
>>2777 I think it's just that one guy doing the "hardcore" trolling. The other anons are just doing what most anons do when they see tripfags. The only person who brought up norre (apparently some artist) is some guy who hates background ponies
Please >>2783 >>2785 Both of you truly, make yourselves at home. I had been waiting for you in particular, having been awake,.. alot. I will now sleep.
>>2792 Doing good, despite the howling chaos of our current time and how the internet took several pills of vitriol for the most minute thing possible. >>2793 Hey there.
>>2783 >Smokey enjoys the drama anyway. yeah, I don't. I want a community of people who give a fuck about maintaining their community and their surroundings. I used to be 100% in support of the /mlp/ community thread, but I hope you two stay out of it. I've got nothing against you fags having your own thing, but whatever that is, it's incompatible with the respectable nor/mlp/eople culture that I hoped to cultivate in the community thread.
>>2797 Nice to see ya. How have you BEEN? Not just now, but it's been a while.
>>2799 With all due respect -- this isn't about you. The idea was to recapture that classic /b/ community spirit, where everyone cared for each other and names were a thing that people generally had as an option. I'm not letting /co/ erase the old /b/ pony culture anymore. I'm just not.
>>2797 it's good to see you again. sad, tragic news about the hacker known as 4chan.
>>2799 i'm going to be brutally honest: i don't see you putting in the work to keep it going. and in that case you really have no room to talk, so buckle up and enjoy being a passenger.
>>2804 It's not about the current /mlp/'s current culture. It is intended to be a place for the community to experience the classic styled community threads that grew the community in the first place, which includes names/trips whether /mlp/'s current /co/ style dominated culture likes it or not.
Uprooting /mlp/'s culture as it is isn't even part of the goal, it's providing a space for that often well regarded, talked about in hushed whispers pony community that was shut up and shoved off of /mlp/ by people who are almost entirely gone now, and for new anons and new names alike to get to experience that kind of care and closeness that made the community great in the first place, as best I can replicate.
>>2803 Participating in lore threads here and there, contributing to pony culture in my own way with art, before, during and after the collapse of /mlp/ board. I will always be there for ponies and their cuteness. I do work under another alias now, she is a cute character, would you agree ? >>2807 I'm not surprised honestly, it was ought to happen someday. If anything, centralization of the internet paints an easy target and it wasn't what I hoped for during these years of surfing. Grew complacent for convenience, a bit of fortitude would do some good to the general anons. >>2805 hey.
>>2813 i didn't make the picture, but it's scarily accurate.
>>2809 like that time you helped me bury a dead body. we never should have whacked a made man.
>>2814 i only come across that way because i consider myself to be superior to you.
>>2815 that site was just a paycheck to hiro. he never cared about getting brofisted by internet hunchbacks like moot did. but he let it rot to the point there was terminal cancer in the site code.
>>2814 It's a good thing Smokey isn't even involved with my project then. Not that that even matters, because nothing either of us could possibly say to you would 'do me any favors', because you've already made up your mind that the pony culture that made /mlp/ even happen isn't worth preserving in one thread on the entire /mlp/ board despite not even having experienced it yourself. You've convinced yourself that the old days couldn't actually have been as good as people say and now you'll defend that stance to the death despite not even knowing otherwise. You're like someone born in an early post apocalyptic setting screeching that having running water and supermarkets couldn't have been that much better than digging through scraps for enough food to stave off starvation for another day.
>>2815 You draw that? Looks great. Also good for you. She is adorable.
>>2818 >Terminal cancer in the site code That's a pretty good description of it.
>>2820 Because the point is that people on the boards deserve a board community, not something that is offboard. That's my opinion anyway and as long as there are people on the board who agree, I'm going to try to fight for their right to try to have that community, in the style that befit a pony community I knew.
>>2818 Yeah, when plateform behaves like a publisher, it's never a good sign on the long run. >>2824 That's plunger art of my pone but here is something I've actually drawn, not the best but I'm happy to have made this regardless.
>>2827 the post timer should have been more of a wakeup call. like, they literally made the site run like dogshit to make people buy 4chan passes. fucking suckers. glad i only bought one of those.
>>2828 considering how much he feeds you, you should be less concerned about that and more concerned about going up a dress size.
>>2830 As for my side, I've perused the board when the insufferable timer happened, it was very impractical to use without a pass and I will never pay to participate in a forum, that's just none sense.
Here is more art I've made for anyone interested in other thing than the meta whoring currently happening.
>>2837 i love your stuff, i forgot you were an artist. there was a script that bypassed the timer and captcha. if the site ever comes back i'll make sure you get it. though i'm not sure it would still work. the "4chan" that returns may not have the same bones.
>>2827 Hey, that's great. Well done! I'm happy to see it. Front Hooves look great, as do all the details on the outfit! Very cool. Nice job.
>>2828 >>2832 I don't disagree, the people and culture are very different, which is why I'm being so very clear, as clear as I can, with my intentions in the OP and with every clarifying post. We did see some success. There were people who showed up to namepost, even trippost who I didn't invite at all. To use your metaphor -- the ingredients are scarce now. There's a shortage, but the stores aren't depleted. If they were depleted, I wouldn't have had any success at all convincing anyone to post in that old /b/ style, and I'd have let the first thread die. I really would have. The /b/ posting on April Fools is exactly why this seems to be working. People got a taste of that old chaos and they liked it. I wanted to show them that with proper care you can still cultivate that warmth so many continually lament lacking these days. Even if it gets continually shit on, even if it doesn't see widespread adoption, I have to try because there are people who want to have that experience and never got to, who just need someone to try to be willing to attempt to form something more akin to the old community, to cultivate those ingredients in each other and themselves.
>>2835 Anyone can be the ingredient. They just have to be willing to try.
>>2837 Absolutely great. I appreciate the showcase, really. You're pretty good. Sorry about the 'meta whoring', it's just on my mind a lot, and it's a discussion better had outside of my own thread. Plus, as I said, Smokey doesn't mind it in his.
>>2844 Whoops, Wrong tripcode. Helped someone force one through my burner email and had it queued on this other device for testing purposes. Much better.
>>2848 Nah, I helped someone force a tripcode. If you knew anything about anything, you'd know that newfags seldom know how to do that, so, as the resident tripfag, I was asked for help.
>>2804 >>2803 >community thread isn't about the community that's exactly the problem. Everybody who joined you honestly was looking for a /mlp/ community, which cared for /mlp/.
>>2812 >uprooting /mlp/'s culture isn't part of the goal >it's providing a space for a different culture, that isn't /mlp/'s culture I'm sorry North, but I think you just don't get it. Care and closeness comes from a common bond. You can't give anybody the experience of coming together as friends in the /b/read because that time is gone. What exists now isn't an amorphous mass of bronies forming the first close groups of ponyfags, what exists is now two totally separate things: smokey's splinter group, and modern /mlp/. Modern /mlp/ can have the experience of coming together as friends with care and closeness, and have gone most of the way there, but it certainly won't coalesce around an outsider who "doesn't give a fuck" or "likes drama".
The thing is, I'm sure both of you can fit in perfectly fine in with nor/mlp/eople, but you want to hold onto your other culture instead. You could cultivate care and closeness in a new community by leaving that behind, in its own place, and bring that desire for goodness to the community and context that already exists. It's not possible to grow something as spiritual as love and camaraderie by just imitating the past. I understand where you're coming from but it's (unintentionally) selfish and the "resurrect the old ways" approach won't work. Love is eternally new, and if that's your goal, anything you have to pull from the past is folly.
>>2807 shoutout to the refuge community artpack woot woot
>>2842 no, forces come and go and I truly think this time, this is it.
4chan, I loved you, but you have dementia now, rest in peace, you fought valiantly despite the entire world fighting you, a true warrior spirit in a lone sea struggles and apathy, you were the chaos and energy that woke my spark and determination, I mourn you, my beloved 4chan.
>>2843 While I appreciate the sentiment, I think this was the last straw for me when it comes to that website. >>2844 Shhh, no sadness or frustration, only cute ponies and fun gremlin energy now.
I'm just simply happy to be able to commemorate the past, even if it's partially. Everything changes so fast now, this rekindling with the past is doing me some good, I wasn't expecting nostalgia today.
>>2850 >Isn't about the community I didn't say that, I said it's not about you. Your conception of the community isn't the entire community. As I said, I had several successes already (including, as mentioned a moment ago, the one who came to me asking about tripcodes). >Everybody who joined you was looking for a /mlp/ community that cared for /mlp/ I've been on /mlp/ for 13 years. I care about /mlp/. I care about /mlp/'s community. I just don't care what /mlp/ thinks of old /b/ style community threads, because the people who try to get in the way of people trying to just have a simple community thread with a hint of the old flavor aren't actually friends to anyone in the community. They actively want to hold the community back from attempting anything they don't want them to, including attempting to recapture pieces of history that were forcibly eroded. >Care and closeness comes from a common bond The common bond of the /b/ posters was through pony, which was supposed to be the basis for the /mlp/ community threads as well. >have gone most of the way there You call this most of the way there? Were you even around for the old days? >Outsider You keep calling me that, but you really don't get it. I've been here the whole time. >You keep trying to bring somehting back, doing that is selfish, pulling from the past is folley Absolutely, categorically disagree with you here. It's something people seem to want.
>>2858 when i first joined this group, i had just left another one that was focused on some lost golden age. this gave me perspective to remember that the real golden age is what you make it. i'm thankful for the past but also for the present. i'm thankful that you're here now. i'm also thankful for the newfriends, even if the ones who only want to cause trouble. trouble is life.
>>2862 I don't mean ti imply that the now isn't good, but having a slice of what used to exist, since there seems to be demand for it, seemed warranted. Again, I've been anon posting on /mlp/ for almost 13 years. I know, and care about, current /mlp/ culture. I just also think that there are people there who want a taste of that old style and I want to share that with them.
>>2858 Looking good poner. Rekindling is doing good for a lot of us. That's the idea, anyway. I love the style. It's so expressive.
>>2863 absolutely. you were right to do that. the world has been poisoned with madness, and a little love and tolerance is just what the doctor ordered.
Drew the image for the next thread Op friendo's. >>2847 Lol chewing gum? That's so groooss xD >>2851 I just wanna tripfag on the chan for one last time friendo's. :(
>>2863 Glad you like the art, here is some more with gremlin energy or cuteness. When I draw, I can never decide which kind I will do, I blame loving pinkie pie so much for the conundrum.
Really, expressive ? huh, well, I guess I'm just not used to being pro-actively answered anymore like when it was /b/ ponies, it's been forever since I've been able to post and being replied with this kind of speed.
>>2875 lookin good. of course we still need to clear it with the bilateral naming committee. i'll get the paperwork started.
>>2874 i guess if it did, sorry? i never posted on /mlp/ so i don't know if it was a loss or not.
>>2872 am i correct in remembering that you're french? hazel is french, he was the one who directed me here from the big thread on mlpol. today i learned that the french army has the best tasting rations in the world, but the soldiers all have refined taste, so they still think it's awful.
>>2872 >>2884 >Things slow The only reason I wasn't replying like this on /mlp/ is because I didn't want to overrun the board. I have that old /b/ spirit in me, but yeah. Also VERY nice once again. Your work reminds me of/isn't far off of some of the fun cartoonists' work I enjoy.
>>2886 you were so deferential to their board, and they still threw a tantrum like a bunch of whining brats. "muh anon hate machine, muh internet hivemind."
>>2885 Indeed, it is I. Yes, I do carry many mask and names. I also love it when people make art of her, look at this pic, she is beyond adorable.
>>2886 Same sentiment here, didn't want to overflow the mlp board with whatever impulse inspiration idea of the moment head canon I had in the time.
>>2890 I just couldn't fucking believe it. Back then, I had autistic passion for marine life that has dissipated as for today, a rando anon posted in /b/ thread asked us what would make for a 'good rainbow dash' episode and I jokingly mentioned moray eels and the ride of the valkyries and low and behold, it fucking happens. That made me completely floored and flabergasted at the sheer amount of coincidence, maybe it was actually Lauren fast I was talking to that day WHO KNOWS, things can get connected in the more strange ways possibles.
>>2893 my roommate in college was a marine biology student. we lived by the ocean, and he would go to the beach and catch fish to put in his aquarium. it was a huge tank filled with fish. they were all little ones separated from their schools, and most would bonk into the glass wall over and over. i'm not sure why i'm telling you this.
Anyways, it was nice coming back to the campfire of the past, no matter how short lived it was.
I was simply passing by as a drifter remembering the sparks, dream and commemoration of nostalgia. Just know, I will be around in the shadow, loving pony and making art about ponies. Take care y'all.
>>2939 ok well, you didn't hear it from me, but the LORA of her hosted on civit.ai is capable of making some very degenerate r34. it's the only one of these i've used where i had to specifically negative prompt out the nsfw stuff.
>>3002 >>2960 Forgot to mention. I got ahold of Duchess Diptheria, who told me that you're gonna have to wait for 4chan to come back.
Exact words were; "I won't be following them. I'm slowly shutting myself off. I have decided to wait for madness to come in solitary confinement. Here in my miniature world, excluded, only observing the ones around me. I will let myself decay. Say hello to Smokey on my regards, I will be missing him."
>wake up >didn't die in my sleep and wake up in Equestria >no AI Horse Goddess to immanentize the eschaton >4chan is still down aah aah my home my herd
>>2662 >at one point everyone in the thread (except me) was obsessed with team fortress 2. SHIT HOW DID NO ONE TELL ME U GUYS WERE PLAYING TF2? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHJJJJ
>>3027 The pony community has been doing everything for over a decade. TF2, Minecraft, various Social Deduction Games, Cards Against Humanity, you name it we've been there.
>>2893 >VenAnon By chance, did you ever go by "history filly" or history anon in PT? II was looking for history anon years ago, don't remember why, never found them either
>>3032 Well, yeah, I know, but i didn't know you had an active server in 2010+15
I havent been in a pony server in ages, last time I ever joined one was back when it was all FOE ambience and giant dispensers blasting 8-bit pony music.
Mu fave part was when there were serious players playing on vanilla maps though, horsefuckers are some of the best tf2 players I ever played with and against.
Not only are the players skilled but people used to openly joke and acknowledge silly moments, it was great.
>>3027 lol, i'm sure you would have enjoyed those days.
>>3032 my favorite was the brief time when people were obsessed with FTL, and would do FTL playthroughs with the characters all named after people in the thread.
>>3104 That was pretty great. I had a lot of fun with Red and Scoot and Keypress and a few others on Minecraft back in the day. I built a giant library with a massive pixelart Twilight in the middle. Hey, I still have a picture of that from mid-development. Nice.
so, one advantage of this place over trash that i've noted is i don't constantly need to necro bump the thread off the back page to keep it from being drowned out by furry porn.
>>3298 minecraft seemed to have boom and bust, where people would make cool stuff and then one of our own people would grief the living shit out of them until everyone lost intrest.
>>3301 Honestly I could see Twilight preferring being more of a small scale builder, improving towns, building custom trees, nothing that requires mass item storage. At a small scale like that, she'd be perfectly happy sorting things herself, but if she ever needed to take on a large project, she'd definitely want an item-sorter.
>>3325 twi is one of those users who saves everything to the desktop until there's so much shit the items are double stacked. then she drags it all into a folder called "old" and never looks at it again.
Anyone else so used to the 4chan way of saving files as unix time codes that they save everything that way regardless of the source so all of their file names look the same
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Where is Ven? I haven't seen them in months! Or the rest of the fillies for that matter, but Ven in particular. No one has quite as impression of a Venjutsu
>>3445 Kek, is owned I looked for that specific image, wanting to do a post like "Veeeeeennnnnn! I know you're around here Ven! Shoe is on the other foot!" But I just wanna give you a hug, cuz it's been a while and IDK when I'm gonna see you again. ^_^
Sorry, I thought I was done sperging until Ven showed up and I was like "Wait, ven. Like ven ven. Like fr ven. Like Ventastic, Venjutsu specialist extraordinaire and the most animate of fillies bar none? And ALL THE VENSPLOSIONS, of course. That Ven. Well, it's a filly with celestia-hair and a rouge bow FUCKING VEN Is how that went, fwiw Yeah, I missed you anon Ha HA! Have an adorable Appul Fritter (yes, I shared with fritter)!!
No offense either, we've spoken on this. But, he isn't big enough, and while I want to continue the metaphor, 4chan needs either an active/visible admin and/or an active/visible staff
i'm going to be honest as a newfag i was kind of spooked by the thread on /trash/ because it was just variations of the same ai image and seemingly only one person. i was too afraid to ask what was going on
>>3498 It was a continuation of an old community tradition. Smokey'll always be happy if you stop by. So will I, even though I'm not around as much as Smokey. I'm usually posting anon on /mlp/ (until recently, because, ya know, trying to do community threads).
>>3502 >Staff dedicated to the interests of their boards Absolutely. Without a doubt, and also ones that are heavily anti-censorship of anything that's not explicitly against board rules or the law.
>>3506 You continue to be quite fun, just as I remember you being.
On the off chance that someone wants to continue this, here's the keys to the city friendo's! Tripefag#fake Tripfag#fake I have better things to do. Maybe I can kick my imageboard addiction while 4chan's down.
>>3777 I actually went there and made a half-assed attempt to look for you there a few days ago. I also made a half-assed attempt here as well. I found nothing and gave up since I had other things to do.
>>3779 i gave japanese moot three days to fix the server, but we can't wait forever. i settled on this as the rally point since hazel suggested it, and ninjaz had invited us right before shtf. it's comfy here so far.
i forgot what a stick in the mud old mootykins actually was. kind of paranoid too. he thought "pony posters" were some kind of monolith in cahoots to ruin the site. he at one point became obsessed with one of our people, who had invented the banbuster tool. skitty was not this "zaiger" person that moot became convinced he was.
>>3798 yeah i was thinking about that one earlier.
>>3820 I'm curious what someone found worth saving of what I said back then. >>3829 aww man, Dash Mercury, the great purges and all of those stupid 'tough guys'.This is bringing me back.
>>3821 Oh, right, I see that that was stupid. Oh well. >>3834 Yes, I saw my mistake, but it was too late
I promise this will be a one-time thing. >>3820 A couple months ago when I first stumbled across the Pony thread, atop the undermountain of trash it amuses me to call it that I was many things. Impressed/astonished, but also a little sad. Hearing Smokey's stories, and seeing how the story of Mlpol either mirrors or rhymes with his and the story of early ponies on 4chan, I was sad. I found his (and others, not diminishing) steadfastness to be admirable and incredible. It made me angry that the fandom had chosen a blue-board cage rather than a proper red board even if the "name" of the board was undesirable, and the board it's self is unlisted. We have one of those here btw, if it ever becomes necessary to "fall back to" In any case, it made me angry that in order to maintain integrity, the seeming only apparent option was to suffer the filth and degeneracy of /trash/, or at least that's the impression I have of the mentality at the time. I had alot of ideas. If not for what DID happen on April 1st, I was going to try and astroturf /trash/ with pony threads, JUST so it wasn't so unsightly around the pony shrine. I am amazed by your example. As long as the official pony thread exists on /trash/, I will do my part to carry it back to the top. I realize the struggle may be part of the point. But believe me when I say this: you and everyone can always have a place here, even if just as a backup.
>>3834 i can't seem to find my caps of everyone's speeches. merc is still around, we need to find him. though at this point it's more likely he'll find us first.
>>3839 Yeah. Thaf's definitely more likely. Here's one cap I will NEVER forget, this guy deserves to live in shame forever for this post.
>>3838 We're happy to have you. It's a bit of a rough point, but we're still around. As long as we're alive, we will be, somewhere. Pony Must Pony Pony, after all.
>>3838 i'm glad to hear that. you've done us a great favor by letting us know about this place. you may have noticed it's about 100% more alive than we were on trash. 32 UIDs is more than i counted in a while before that feature was taken away (aka it broke and they can't fix it).
>>3841 Agreed. And the owners and operators of this site will Pony Pony in perpetuity (I don't speak for them, they sausage when I post like this) properly, having been abused by 4chan similarly and being actual learners of the magic of friendhip, and not engage in an adversarial relationship with (you) or anyone who genuinely wishes to Pony Pony. >pic unrelated, was gonna be to bump the /mlp/ bat thread
>>3871 >>3869 >>3857 >>3853 ...This is why we cannot give up. This is why I'm fighting the good fight, even now. We -had- something. That something -mattered-, and I'm so, unbelievably, exhaustingly, gut-wrenchingly sick of watching people claim that it was just shitposting and trolling. I'm so, very, very tired of watching /co/ dominate the cultural narrative on what happened in early pony history and I'm so, so very, very tired of letting the legacy of what we built together as friends be dominated by people who want to use the 'modern pony culture' to flogg us until we surrender that spirit and conform. I categorically reject this notion. I will not yield the right of way to a cold, empty community devoid of depth of conversation, or one dominated by the censorship perpetuated by the broader community leadership be it to schmooze the showrunners, for political and social pressures, or trying to fit in with other communities ala hamfisting the idea of a pony community into another flavor of furry.
>>3892 Perhaps that's the standard operating proceedure, but you're not going to convince me that some of the appul family figured out that "the waste" gives you a funny head
>>3896 No one is contesting that Applejack is a paragon, but come on, are you suggesting that ALL appuls don't like the sauce? Like, none of them noticed fermentation?
>>3893 We have no evidence for that. Besides equines are exceedingly well equipped to deal with alcohol since they have a fermentation vat as part of their digestive system and thus have a really hard time getting drunk assuming that is even possible.
>>3885 >>3886 Heh. Thanks, it's good to know I can still be inspiring... It's been a while since anyone I don't know all that well told me that.
>>3887 You're welcome, thanks for posting. I hope you enjoyed my doodle I drew a while ago, in response. And have my end of season 1 speech. I found it, after some searching. It was a lot more formal than most, I opened up my heart every day, so there was no need to be overly emotional, I always simply was that.
>>3903 Hey, non-alcoholic apple cider isn't bad. Don't knock it until you try it.
>>3908 Non-alcoholic is fine. But miss me with the idea that a non-alcoholic cider farm doesnt produce alcohol, and that no one has noticed. No (about to go full autist) ANY time you have a process that is in any way industrialized (read: machines) you will produce waste. That waste is alcohol (among other things)
>>3915 >A cider press is industrialized They're hoof powering the machine with Big Macintosh's kinetic energy. If that's your bar for industrialized, chopping kindling with an axe is industrialized.
>>3920 Okay, clearly you don't operate around industrial processes. You assume "I put apul in press, it turn to appul juice" right? Multiply by 100, 100, 10000, 100000. While you';re doing that, you're building up pulp in and around the machine. That pulp ferments.
>>3930 As stated previously equines have a fermentation vat as part of their digestive system. As such they are very well equipped to metabolize alcohol without ill effect. It would be exceedingly difficult if not impossible for a pony to get drunk.
>>3939 Cool. Rainbow Dash still isn't drinking alcohol, we still have no evidence that any of the Apples are drinking alcohol, we still have no evidence of anypony getting drunk, and the nonequestrian equine you posted wasn't drunk either.
>>3953 I know apple pulp is a thing too. I'm just not pretending that any Apple is consuming it in a fermented form when there is absolutely zero evidence for it.
>>3955 Acknowledged. In kind, I find your absence of evidence to not be evidence of absence, in observance of how other animals behave around fermented products in nature.
Show me how wild animals dont consume fermented fruit, and I'll grant that there's no evidence (or implication) for drunk ponies.
Let us speculate for a moment. Assume that apple cider season has finished, and Granny Smith decided she wanted to clean the barrels, yet got tired and left a few sullied barrels. A few days later, The CMC are playing about the farm and discover the fermented paste. >>3954 If you're enjoying an argument, you have some level of investment in it.
>>3946 The way the cider is sold in show demonstrably is immediate with no time for fermentation. They tap the barrels immediately after their creation, which is also why they run out of apple cider so quickly (and I can prove it with math, see below).
>>3922 >100,000 apples Sweet Apple Acres is, according to the show, four apple orchards and can get done with the entire harvest in roughly a week by two ponies working together per Applebuck season. Assuming each of them kick for 8 hours straight in a day with a one hour break, accounting for travel time (say 15 seconds a tree), that's 3360 trees a day for five days for a total of 16800 as a high estimate. Assuming that the cider is a seasonal drink (which it is) then half of one apple harvest (at best) will go into this cider. 35 apples per tree, that's 588000 apples. however, that is such an absurd amount of apples to be run out by the population of ponyville (which cannot possibly be more than about 5000 ponies). At 16 glasses per gallon (a reasonable amount), each glass would (at most) be 2 apples worth of cider, meaning ponyville would be drinking 284000 cups of cider, or approximately 56.8 glasses -each-.
So, judging by the size of ponyville and that they ran out before serving every single pony (even accounting for an outlier like Pinkie Pie), what would be a reasonable number of apples for them to be using here? Well assuming everypony on average gets 2.5 glasses of cider (a reasonable amount for the town to run out just before Rainbow Dash, with Pinkie and other big spenders getting in early) -- the number would be 4.4% of the initial figure, or approximately 25872 apples -- 2% of a biweekly harvest. Most of the rest, presumably, are exports. Assuming 60-70% are exports, that leaves 30% to go into other sold products such as pies, cakes, fritters, jams, applesauces, bottled apple juice and of course raw apple sales, meaning it makes perfect sense that 2% of a biweekly harvest could actually mostly make due for the town of Ponyville.
The math actually checks out for this conclusion only and exclusively if fermentation isn't in the process for cider that the family sells.
>>3965 No, I'm using 40 apples to a gallon, which is standard cidermaking (at the top end of apples per gallon) protocol. Alcohol as a byproduct doesn't factor in to the cider that is sold. This is with the most of all reasonable apple waste, for your benefit. You're also forgetting that these characters are ponies, and therefore can digest and pull positive flavor from more parts of an apple than humans can, meaning that there's less waste per apple and the little waste there is is probably just washed away in cleaning the machine (as the apple family is shown repeatedly to take good care of their equipment). >>3968 You do experience waste, but you also don't really have to deal with it as a product. Apple waste makes good fertilizer through compost as well, which would be my guess as to what it's used for.
>>3972 I don't agree with, but won't continue to argue against, the idea that Sweet Apple Acres is a utopian farm that consumes all waste and that everything promoted is viable product.
>>3974 >Utopian farm that consumes all waste Honestly, I think it's just as likely that they just hose off the machines and let the apple grime return to the dirt. That requires no conscious thought and has roughly the same effect as compost on soil viability. Also, let's not forget -- they're Earth Ponies. Canonically, they have the natural ability to make/maintain plant growth that no other ponies can.
>>3977 This is accurate, however it's not all entirely as tasty as the juicier parts of the apple -- for a pony that's not likely to be the case (also you forgot that the seeds aren't particularly great either, but that's neither here nor there, the antioxidants from apples are incredibly good for a lot of things in your body, and really, just eat apples).
>>3978 Okay, I'll accept that earth ponies don't make alcohol because they're wholesome, but the idea that horses aren't making funny substances with the waste product is in defiance of observable animal nature. If I'm lying, explain drunk squirrels
>>3990 Berry Punch is the pone that represents the ideal of "I'm just a pony, ALL the shit is fucked up, we do the best we can, we try to not be a burden on everypone if we can. But we also don't fuck up the story for most watchers, we just leeave subtle cues for anyone paying attention" "
>>3992 Berrypunch is a pisshead, so I'm not entirely too sure what you're supporting here. >>3996 Sauerkraut/Kimchi are fermented. Not too sure about pickles, as most preserves use sugar.
>>3996 Pickles and sauerkraut are the same process but with different vegetables. Saurkraut has its place, but a proper cabbage is slice, seared, and then boiled/cassarole'd. And no, there needs no justification for pickles
>>3999 >>4000 >>>/ub/88 →#8251 apparently there are two ways to make pickles, one of them is fermenting which is way more healthy than just dropping them in vinegar.
Other fermented non-alcholic things I can think of include cheese and kefir
>>3882 You keep saying stuff like this, how its so important but yet all anyone's seen from this thread is a bunch of circlejerking faggots who just talk among themselves, never interacting with the rest of the board. It's /soc/ and discord without discord
>>4106 no you mouth breathing retard, don't try to gaslight me with your newfag ignorance. I have been in these threads since Jan 2011 from /b/ on 4chan.
>>4098 Uh, the thread is less than a week old if we're counting the one on /mlp/ (less, if you have a bad spacial awareness here). How much do you expect to happen? Do you expect a con to suddenly be popping up? Give it a minute, sheesh.
1. Drawing the four princesses in the same pose and angle that is inspired by the gaze scene from look outside. A nice bit of body horror will happen, I am excited to put to work, the scene is surreal and fun. Character ->
2. A comic about the current 4chan happening and the exodus, a momento if you will.
I'm not sure which one I should work on first, I'll see what is the most desirable ITT first and then work on drawing it with colors and everything.
>>4139 >XYZ /mlp/ Refugees come to /poner/ >Immediately make an effort to raise the activity of the whole board, to make it feel more like home <XYZ /trash/ Tripfags come to /poner/ <Only interested in raising their own thread activity, to make it feel more like their offboard threads I guess the muh community spiel was just telling yourself sweet pretty lies, but there was no teeth or truth behind any of it.
>/trash/ tripfags >>4165 With all due respect, these "trash tripfags" are here by express invitation, because they're proper lads who have been burning the Pony oil - thanklessly - for longer than your parents alloed you to browse the internet. IDGAF if you're an MLPOL oldest-of-fags, you STILL have no grounds to complain. Fuck off if you don't like it.
>>4168 from his description it sounds like the mlp folk are treating this more like a raid than an exodus. we haven't damned the site change to suit us like a certain anon rabble i don't need to mention.
>>4169 look at the reaction to it. mlp was a containment board not just for ponies, but also concentrated autism.
>>4165 I wouldn't mind giving these guys a chance. The /trash/ thread was mentioned here a few weeks ago, and I was curious as to why they'd diverged in the first place. If these newcomers have interesting experiences and insight to share, perhaps this thread can be a means for them to assimilate. As an outsider, I think it's neat that people otherwise disparately separated can be brought together here. /mlpol/ was always a warm and welcoming alt, and I'd like to share these sentiments.
>>4171 These lads can tell you better than I can, but the short version is that /trash/ was the red board that /mlp/ demanded AND THEN REJECTED, because it was hidden and had a "discouraging name". And it isn't even about the porn, it's about the principle. Again, it's not a direct reprise of what happened with us, but it definitely rhymes.
>>4171 They aren't assimilating they're trying to convert others to their culture. They tried this exact shit in /mlp/ and it was immediately torn down for this exact reason. Tripniggers are the equivalent of of muslim faggots who come to white countries and have no interest in preserving the the culture or traditions of the land they're invading. They just want a parallel society
>>4167 hmm, I guess I could make it simple of an anon filly with a traveler bag on a stick looking at a burning 4chan on the horizon, on a lonesome read, would that be sufficient of a tribute ?
>>4171 i've always enjoyed this place, and the spirit of coming together is kind of why it was created in the first place. i helped get the word out about it when it was first created. kept it as a bookmark and had almost forgotten about it. i'm glad it survives. it's a worthy successor. i honestly don't care if 4chan ever comes back.
>>4173 Thank you for explaining. I never much used /mlp/ myself and initially went to PonyChan after one of the mods banned a slew of topics back in ~2012. I was intimated to /trash/ several years ago as it had threads on certain obscure topics that never quite fit into other boards, so I'm surprised I didn't find any pony threads while exploring or trawling archives. >>4174 They've not been here for too long, so what their subculture holds or how it would interact with /mlpol/ remains to be seen. However I do agree with some of what you say, as I was taught to disavow tripcodes, avatarfagging and shaking things up (too much.) I also understand where you're coming from, as lurking and gatekeeping are the order of the day, especially on imageboards. I say we should let them stand on their own merits: if they bring worthwhile and meaningful activity, more power to them. Otherwise, this too shall pass into the archive, with other, more pertinent threads to come. >>4176 I wasn't here when the site first appeared, but it was the summer of 2018 that I'd found /mlpol/ on a random Google search. At first I thought it was just another altchan, but something about it struck me. This is one of the few sites I check out nearly every day, and I thank God it exists. I hope you all have a great time here and find cool and interesting subjects to browse.
once upon a time, someone made a pony thread on 4chan /b/. this caused a large release of autism energy both in and outside the thread. the site admin at the time became increasingly paranoid, and you can see in some caps displayed ITT, by 2013 mootles had pretty much been goaded into submission by the anons who attention he craved. they demanded ponies be banned, relegated to a containment board so the site could go back to being edgelord central. then bizarrely, they made that board but specifically excluded the /b/ people they were trying to contain from it. what proceeded was a years long series of skirmishes and all out wars with the mod staff, all for the right to post colored horses. eventually there was an exodus to 8chan, where we had a stickied thread on their /b/ for a long time. they turned on us right about the time moot fucked off for good, and the new owner hiro literally only cared about making money on the site. so he was less apt to blanket ban our whole crew of posters. our scribes argued for the total removal of gr15, but in the end only persuaded him to let us have a place on trash. so that's where we stayed, for years. and we honored his compromise by not further antagonizing their dumb mods and jannies. that's the most distilled version of the story, for anyone actually interested in why the trash threads persisted.
>>4185 i understand your concerns. you won't see me bothering anyone outside of this thread with my trip or my weird AI fetish. you likely won't see me at all if this place takes off enough. i tend to just lurk in those situations.
>>4189 I meant no disrespect and had no intention to encroach. I apologise if my words conveyed otherwise. >>4191 It's not a bother. I might be an oldfag myself, but I'm in no position to oust people on a strictly arbitrary basis. Barring asides such as these, I'm much of a lurker myself.
>>4098 >/soc/ I don't think you even know what happens on /soc/. This is nothing like /soc/. I've seen it from when I was doxed for being a ponyposter back in the day. Comparing this to /soc/ is a trap that only a salty newfag could possibly run into. >never interacting with the rest of the board Not with a trip on, moron. I've been an anon in probably more threads than you've ever seen.
>>4107 Yep, that's Colgate (I think). Nice to see you.
>>4150 >4 princesses Boo. >body horror ew >Comic about the current 4chan happening Great idea I kid, draw what you want. I just hate what happened in the show.
>>4165 >only interested in raising own thread activity Are you aware you don't have to use a name in every thread just becuase you have one in one? Genuinely, I'm curious. This isn't an account.
>>4169 Because /mlp/ isn't comfortable with the level of randoms and avatarfags that we like to have and is culturally dominated by old /co/ to the point where putting on a name at all gets you treated (admittedly weakly, because these newfag anons don't have any clue how bad it was back in the day on /b/) like people who used to treat the pony community like a cancer entirely used to treat us.
>>4170 >sounds like the /mlp/ folk are treating this more like a raid This too. We're not here to fuck with mlpol, just like my community thread wasn't there to fuck wth /mlp/. There was a reason we kept it to a single thread for these types of conversations. If we didn't (this part is directed at >>4165 ), we'd be equally told we're 'breaking the unwritten rules' for being tripfags outside of our containment. You've set up a kafka trap, we just refuse to play ball with it.
>>4171 >mlpol was always a warm and welcoming all Then you've got a lot of the old spirit, friend, and I'm glad to have you. Welcome to the oldest splinter of the oldest pony community.
>>4173 Yes and no. Smokey went through a lot of places before landing on /trash/. The old /b/ spirit simply refuses to die and I've attempted (in the waning days of the board) to bring that spirit back to /mlp/ as best I could in the form of the attempted /mlp/ community threads. Smokey and I are old friends and I've posted as an anon on /mlp/ and on /trash/ over the years (which for some reason seems like a completely alien idea to the idiot newfags who want to shit on something older than they are).
>>4174 >They tried this exact shit on /mlp/ Hi. I tried to do my own thing on /mlp/, both of which were in the spirit of the old community. I'm not Smokey. I'm sorry you lack the ability to distinguish between two expressions of old pony culture and think that one must be a raid by the other. You're gonna learn (or not) real fast, that people actually do like and respect the old culture that made pony a thing. You saw the ancient posts earlier. That kind of care is not beyond your grasp, whether you think it is or not.
>>4185 >Stand on their own merits I didn't gather anyone from offboard to maintain the /mlp/ community threads for this exact reason. If there's legitimate, on board demand for it the threads will succeed, if not, they won't. It's that simple. The only person I invited to post personally was Smokey over in his thread, because he's earned that respect.
>>4186 >The total story of Smokey's journey distilled Yep. I was there for all of this. I can confirm this is exactly how it went down.
>>4193 You are, as always, an idiot. You're just as recognizable as anyone here with a trip and demonstrating more and more that it's you and yours that are the type who actually derail and shit up the threads you're in, rather than us.
Please, keep going. I want to see you ruin any respect your sorry replacement for the culture of our old community threads has, even among /mlp/'s general userbase. Every post you make only makes the case for our existence stronger.
>>4199 >You're not going to win this. No more than the jannies won back in 2011, and salty anons have a lot less power than those did..
>>4201 >again Kek, I'm always here, I just don't name/tripfag unless anon is about to get put in their place. In the last 48 hours I've slept maybe 8, bouncing from bunker to cytube to bunker to discord. Like a goddamn Bushbaby, if you're familiar.
>>4205 The same spammy newfag who showed up in my thread on /mlp/ to bitch about people with names ruining 'muh board culture' when he doesn't even know the history of /mlp/, let alone the communities collapsed into /mlp/.
>>4207 Not one to discriminate, but pickled red onions don't last more than a day for a quart-size jar. For burgers I recommend bread and butter,... it really depends on the application
>>4212 >It's not /mlp/ It's one of the two cultures that was collapsed into /mlp/ forcibly. Learn your history before you shoot your mouth, also I'd wager you're that guy who posted the horses running out into the snow, turning around and running back in immediately, so I think I recognize you as well.
>>4279 Afternoon, Smokey. As you can see, I'm doing that thing I used to do where after I sleep, I catch up on everything I can in a megapost, then settle into responding to whatever catches my fancy.
>>4285 Of course. Keeping up was a nightmare back then, by the time I'd finish typing a reply to one post, six more would pop up. I had to pick my battles back then. Did you see I found my old speech and posted it ( >>3908 ) ?
>>4292 ...Also funny, my name's always the only blue one in these old caps because I unironically posted with my email so that anyone from the thread who needed help could contact me. It's was so people like Flutterguy ( >>3857 ) and Moonbeam ( >>3869 ) and Dardan ( >>3775 ) could get help if they ever needed it, and I kept it open 24/7 for everypony who could possibly need it.
>>4320 I got doxed 9 times, dude. Do you think I gave a single fuck? People sent mormons to my house and one guy even hit my mailbox with a baseball bat while driving by. That's a small price to pay for the ability to save lives and make others feel right again. It's a price I'd pay again in a heartbeat for 1/1000th of the impact we had.
>>4311 >sublime joy thinking about ponies in their purest state and the amount of joy they gave me and the beauty of the ideals they bring along with them and the amount of people they've helped and the communities they've fostered >deep depression thinking about how much our fandom has eroded and how they took the show out back and shot it with a 12 gauge whilst people cheered it on
>>4362 hey, same. On both counts. Welcome to the club. This is every day of my life. There is still a lot of good here though. Try to find the best in those around you. We are still here, and we still have each other. Despair not, for there are still ponies to post and those who will stand by you in the attempt to stand for the old glory.
>>4366 You do need to have an enemy to have the only mailbox in your area be the one hit and to have it happen repeatedly. I also dont really have IRL enemies, and it only started right after the first time, lasted about 4 months, then stopped happening.
>>4368 The person probably got arrested and you weren't a concern any more. What are the odds that someone who would repeatedly bash someone's mailbox cuz of 4chan might be violent or something elsewhere?
>>4374 I'm sure he's in good company. I hear alot of 4chan memes are very popular in jail/prison. I read a story that if you randomly shout things like "The jews did this" you get engagement
>>4382 YW. I forget where I posted this initially or I'd link it, but here, you can: >greentext, obviously <if you like Thats easy on both sides of your message does this== And then there's the classic bracketed commands (you know before and a non-spaced [/ i] after, for italics [i]like so) not caps-sensitive O is orange P is pink B is bold Minus sign is strikeout Spoiler Theres additional features, where you can hex-code specific colors, but that's over my head.
>>4395 PupperWoff (the site's owner/coder) is one of the sweetest people I've ever interacted with, and he genuinely wants posters to feel as comfy and welcome (for a chan board) as possible
I'll take the opportunity to elucidate, this is part of why I'm so thrilled about Northern's community thread. There are people in this community that I VERY MUCH want to meet someday. Typically cons are where one does that, but that doesn't mean that other things couldn't apply. Just saying, furries have meetups all the time, sometimes just meeting at a park and barbecuing, or bowling,.... Pupper is one of those people, and I have every intention of getting my passport and vising a convention near him someday, to hopefully meet (if he'll have me, we've butted heads countless times XD) and make him something delicious.
>>4430 A generous offer, and one I'll gladly take you up on. However, I intend to introduce myself long before that. Chrischan became a lolcow by mistake and happenstance. ^~
It's nice that we have our own bunker websites to seek refuge in as opposed to having to go into some other altchan. Can you imagine having to bunker up in 8chan or the Sharty?
>>4647 i took a spin around 8chan and it seemed pretty dead. this place is more lively from what i've seen.
>>4655 it's ok, i'll make us another one. after church. today is a special sunday, it being both easter and hitler's birthday. happy easter and hitler's birthday to you all.
>>4661 Well, here's the thing - happy Easter to you as well - unless you're particular about the thread bumping to the top or appearing on the overboard, you don't really have to right away. The thread currently set t die was last posted to an hour so ago YESTERDAY. ^_~
>>4553 gud thnx. just here to poni poni >where do I know you from? I'm just an Anon. We talked briefly during the April Fools joke a few weeks back. Those were fun threads. Back when the show was airing I mainly lurked in /co/ and then later /mlp/, so I never got to experience much of the /b/ pony side of things. To tell the truth, I had completely forgotten about the /b/ pony threads, so it was kind of like you had reawakened some long dormant memories I didn't even know I had. It was nice. >>4661 >happy easter and hitler's birthday what a combo
Just charting that as of noon, this thread is on page 5, with an inverse rate of entropy as further sliding relates to existing threads versus new threads.
>>4809 Fun fact, the amount of magical kinetic output from Twilight's horn (per the Ursa Minor incident from Season 1) would be enough to turn a marble into a wrecking ball capable of demolishing buildings.
