Events since
>>25529:
-Various large donations are made, including $1355 (it's the same amount as all of the PfPP made KEK), ~$1000 and the record-holding ~$2000.
-There is a Silly Stuffing plush in work!
-Regarding advertising:
--Twibooru has the art pack cover as its featured image (the tags under it have been getting vandalised for some time, but they're quickly fixed)
--Ponybooru is running an advert for the art pack. Based on the redirect link, it seems to be their 27th ad. The lighter version of the third banner proposal is used.
--An anon is advertising it IRL. I assume this anon is DD, given all the other adverts around it are French. I also recall this card being used during DD's marecon drawing stream.
--Derpi apparently won't run any new ads until August, and it doesn't seem that anyone has asked Ponerpics about it (given that we're on /mlpol/ now, may as well ask here: will Ponerpics eventually advertise the pack?)
--Additionally, various other advertisements are being run, including on
https://ponylove.cc/#cat-78 and broad-demographic sites like Instagram (reportedly).
--Of course, the most effective way of spreading the word should not go unmentioned - word-of-mouth. It is thanks to (You) telling your friends and so on about the pack that we've gone as far as we have.
-An image comparing the PfPP and BtS donation sums got uploaded on Derpi and subsequently removed. The cited reasons:
>Rule #1; Rule #3; Rule #You need to be aware of how bad messaging like this looks to anyone that isn't terminally onlineRule #1 states: "Do not upload edits without either permission or a reasonable expectation the artist is okay with them". Fine, I doubt the PfPP participants are that happy with that image.
Rule #3 is about unrelated content, but it specifies images relating to the community to be expectable, so I'd argue it doesn't apply here.
I would've said that their made up rule should change "to anyone who isn't terminally online" to "to anyone who supports abortion", but if someone doesn't know about that aspect of PP (or what PP is in the first place), then, perhaps they have a point. (See also post >>42037803 on 4chan)
With that aside, thank you to all who've donated and will donate. Any suggestions for the paste are always welcome.
Oh, and it seems I've neglected to post paste updates to /mlpol/ for some time. Short story: there is now a deleted posts section, a more thorough subdividing of the images section, a table of contents, and other things as well. If I haven't missed something, everything should be up to date.
