Have you? the way the rest of your post reads makes it clear you haven;t
That board makes /mlpol/ look like radical utopians by comparison. At least a few years ago, you couldn't go anywhere without hearing "oh my God everything good is gone!" It is/was insufferable and was far worse than /mlpol/
Thats exactly the time period I brought it up and why I said earlier that you could get users, because the experiance back then was so fucking awful, now? it's far from great but it's still better than this. Imagine actually arguing that an endless bumping newsfeed of what
>(((media))) site
here thinks about
>(((news))))
to be preferable than the actual state of /mlp/ right now, without mod dicking us for calling derpibooru jews anymore, great ammounts of OC, and what is looking to be 2 yearly cons.

You have your head so far up your ass that your basic premise, while imho, completely defensible, is completely undermined by everything you said after.

if they want to act like ziggers I'm not going to treat them like they're white, no matter how much it inconveniences me or my goals.

Solid plan guys. Real solid plan. Let's see how well that works out for you.

>>6873
The idea has been discussed within staff. No one at all thinks it is necessary and it would probably just become another dead board... but at the same time, it doesn't look like there could be too much harm.

My favorite ideas for names are /clozapine/ - Maredecine , and /snowpitty/ - Rainbowshine

Other proposed ideas are /mare/ - Post mares ,

Surely a blue pony board should be named after a blue pony, right?
I nominate /rd/ or /dash/

>>6903
I might think the same way. It may have a few days of viability within the /mlpol/ community, but unless members of other boards like 4/mlp/ are convinced to browse both boards, then I think it may just be a passing fad.

So let me see if I have this correct.
A blue board
Expressly and all-but exclusively ponies
No flags/IDs
Hidden board?
... ngl, I can think of ways it could work. Bump limits would need to be redressed tho one could argue thats long overdue

>>6910
Why not just have more threads like these >>>/mlpol/312123 → on existing boards? The only difference would be in whether explicit imagery would be allowed.

>>6911
Because "that's not what mulp/mlp-fags want", is the 0rrvailing argument.
I dont agree with the argument, I maintain that certain parties are just being petulent, BUT I can still make it work.

>>6912
If we have a new board, the site owners would probably also need to come up with more money to pay the new people who’d be staffing it. Also, it could be a passing fad that lasts just for a few days because /mlpol/ may not exactly be the type of site that is attractive to many of the people of /mlp/ right now.

>>6911
>Why not just have more threads like these >>>/mlpol/312123 → → on existing boards?
Think it this way, there is a party claiming that more pony is needed, and yet, they rarely post ponies. Surely they'll replicate that that's not true, and yet, their autism with tons of ponies can't be seen.
Corollary: they want the effort done by other poners.

You can just leave if you expect monetary transactions to take place in the pit of slime.

Honestly, mlpol, as well as any other small chans is just doomed to be slow, why? Because:
>>6866
>of the Social Media Effect. Chan sites, like all social media of any kind, are naturally occurring monopolies, because people want to go where other people already are.

I don't think taking something away is going to bring any more traffic at all.
From my personal experience, having seen this board rise from atlas setting up an HTTP site and an anon calling it a honeypot, there is three problems:

1 - You need a focus to attract people and it has to be compatible with current boards
You wanna attract "traffic" but tell me, what the fuck is traffic?
Zoophiles?
Bronies?
Horsefuckers?
/pol/tards?
You can't attract them all at the same time, no matter what you do. Some groups like ponyfags and /pol/tards naturally repel each-other for many reasons, those who can stand the pony are the true good people but those are fucking rare, hence why the main board has such a small population.
/pol/ is mostly filled with pre-teens and motherfuckers that can't even read two paragraphs before screaming DA JOOZ, of course they wont be able to see past the ponies.

And even if you give a board a focus, like /a/ why would /a/ people post here instead of the much bigger, much older alternative that is 4chin?
4chin is shit, but it is bearable shit, you must give users a reason to post here and not there, and obviously "better mods and community" is not good enough of a reason.

2 - It is a social suicide to be found posting here
I love you guys, i have had some real good arguments here, i learnt a lot on my time posting here and i even made a ton of threads on /ub/ i actually improved my life quite a lot from posting here.
But even if i did, i know no one must ever know i post on /mlpol/ because if there is one thing normies hate is <le evil natzeez> and believe me i don't wanna lose my job because i like having an actual conversation in the political sperging horseforum.

3 - The internet has changed
Face it guys, the only reason 4chin is populated is because it's this "mythical" imageboard that's known to be full of lulz.
Mlpol is nowhere on the map, most people think it was a fun april 1st joke that died April 2nd and those who don't understand mlpol's board culture like this faggot >>6876 simply get confused and don't seem to really care enough to understand why things are the way they are.

Even if the site got traffic, it will most likely be mostly normies that wont stick for long.
The world is moving and imageboards are slowly becoming an archaic thing of the past, people don't understand how they work nor they care to know, they just wanna hop-in, shit and have fun as if every imageboard ever was /b/

I have been guilty of not posting as much here, but i have not been posting anywhere on the internet for a few years now, just chatting with friends and studying/youtube.
The internet is just not that fun these days, when fun things happen they are usually temporary, and well, posting here is usually not that fun (not that other imageboards/social media are better in any way, they are also boring)
The reason i keep coming back here is because of quality, no other imageboard manages to have as many quality per post as mlpol.net, so that's a huge strongpoint for the board, yet a hard to market strongpoint.

This.
Have some more glorious equine pussy.
I agree with you fully, anon, it would be a place for fags who don't like pony pussy can be without what was the fundamental basis of /mlpol/ when the April fool's merge happened,
To create a board such as that would be heretical to the original rules, as Lotus previously stated in this thread.
>>6922
>Fucking an actual horse does not makes you better than a furry fucking the family dog.
The difference is that the show isn't about half human half horses and i don't like dog pussy or any other animal's vagina, neither do i dress up like my OC or waifu but if i could i would make a pony look like Luna because that would be hot.
Horses are the main animal of the show's character design, obviously some anons are going to also be interested in where the anatomically correct pastel pony vaginas actually came from.
Being a pony fucking Nazi pony fag is the ultimate power level possible in Pony PussE. I'm no nigger loving fur faggot that'll yiff in hell, i'll be fucking ponies down there instead.
>Implying mares aren't better than women or sexy
Plebeian taste, anon.
>T.anon who used to roleplay as khajiit
Can i tell you a mare fortune?
Horses are hotter than whores.
(You) have given me a few replies over in that thread, i thought you'd be into cat pussy given you called yourself khajiiit. Kek.

>And it is fundamental to keep the normals away.
It is the integral deterrent of this place against all newfags and plebittors.

>>6930

So if one is to summarize this growing consensus, something like:
"Having a blue board that discourages/prohibits politics would be a move fundamentally contrary to /mlpol/ history and practice."
One could further summarize the proposal, in context:
"All /mlpol/ needs to get more from /mlp/ is to be less /mlpol/".
One of the problems with 4chan is that it appeals to disaffected teenagers who 0ften feel (whether through abuse on one end, and not being allowed to do whatever/whenever on the other) which can psychologically be transferred onto jannies/mods. This is the normal state for anons in particular, boards in general, and the site as a whole; fuck jannies, fuck niggers, etc.
Its therefore alien for 4chan posters to NOT feel some degree of resentment toward their host(s), and moreover it is alien for hosts to be particularly accommodating to the user base.
/mlp/ simply doesnt 'get' /mlpol/, but it isnt that there's been no opportunity. In fact, theres been 5 years for that to happen. Golly, who's dereliction is THAT the responsibility of?

>>6926
>half human half horses
Well according to the ancient furry chart, ponies fall into the "you sick bastard" category, so i think you're safe as long as you're not into satyr.
Jokes aside, it's just weird to fuck a horse anon, i guess it's ok to fantasize about it but please don't take the chance if it ever presents itself, you'd be just sticking your dick in an animal, in no way would people see you as anything but a zoophile.
Or just do it, like, it's not like i care that much honestly, i'm being dramatic here.

>i thought you'd be into cat pussy given you called yourself khajiiit
I like cats but not sexually, i don't really have much of a non-ironical interest in eroticism.

I did not expect this thread to get this much traffic when I made it... I guess that means it was worth making then.

There's a point to be made here, and not just for the blue board.
/mlpol/ could benefit to be more aware about changes in the horsesphere and strike the iron when it's hot, as there have been times where I feel like we've missed opportunities to generate content and bring in users. There are a lot of key opportunities when this kind of thing happens, such as booru shitstorms, /mlp/ staff drama, and the periods immediately before and after the dropping of new series/seasons where we have opportunities to dominate this fandom, or at least retain/regain users.

Huh, sounds alot like something an ex staff used to go on about. I recall him doing so at length. At the time, he emphasized that an absence of leadership in staff is a woeful negligence (and nothingbhas changed, so par for the course) that needs to be addressed. As though, faggots sitting in a discord as 'online' but not actually giving a fuck about the site was a problem.
(spoiler: it is, but its the type of problem that takes it's time to manifest)
But who cares! Everything 'seems' right 'for now', so there's no harm right lads?
