lol, I could leave this site right now forever and walk away knowing I quit as the site was working poorly and know it only for working quite perfectly instead of congratulating it when it works decently nowadays. Such are the tough decisions we must make in life.

@alargesmallhorse Given another month, the place will have regressed to a post-season ghost town by then anyway. I remember towards the end of the 1-2 gap I'd see literally 2 posters other than myself for 9 or so hours at a time.

@ceruleanspark are you saying that I keep RDN alive? I am the lifeblood of this site? I think I remember this site being pretty busy constantly about that time, especially since that was still when carcino and awesome were on all day err' day.

@alargesmallhorse I'm talking about british hours. Come 3PM our time, the timeline would just halt until the americans woke up.
Wednesday, 25-Apr-12 10:04:58 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark Oh yeah, I remember the shifts. I didn't even know you existed back then for that exact reason.

@ceruleanspark interesting. I'm especially curious about how the community will change during the "pony drought" preiod. This is my first after all.
Wednesday, 25-Apr-12 10:07:51 UTC from web-
@pony Nothing will happen. Things will continue as normal. You will then realize that bronies just use ponies as a platform in which they can communicate about all things non-pony with people.

@alargesmallhorse ah well that much seems clear to me already, although I will miss talking about new canon and such. As for new fan content, there's more than enough out there for me to browse if things slow down.. I almost welcome it to slow down. I can't keep up at Ponibooru.
Wednesday, 25-Apr-12 10:12:12 UTC from web-
@pony People don't even talk about canon. maybe over this break, people will start growing brains and learn how to actually discuss aspects of the show.
Wednesday, 25-Apr-12 10:14:05 UTC from web-
@alargesmallhorse The vast majority of people get mad when you talk about canon because hurr fandom injokes

@ceruleanspark VINYL SCRATCH'S EYES ARE RED I DON'T CARE WHAT THE FINALE SHOWED THEM AS *fandom fight*

@redenchilada I'M COLOUR BLIND SO IT WAS RED IN THE SHOW ANYWAY. #notreally

@minti I've seen people seriously say that, is the bad thing. XP
Wednesday, 25-Apr-12 10:20:51 UTC from web -
@minti #FunFact I actually saw them as blue (my fanon color for them) because I AM that colorblind and I'm stickin to it. http://ur1.ca/93e9h
Wednesday, 25-Apr-12 10:24:00 UTC from web-
@alargesmallhorse I personally like the idea of them being green for some reason
Wednesday, 25-Apr-12 10:25:23 UTC from web-
@redenchilada http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&q=sirradical#/d4fsh9f I just got it from hanging around a group of guys from synchtube for months. also, green would look pretty bad with her color scheme. Maybe blue-green compromise.
Wednesday, 25-Apr-12 10:29:43 UTC from web-
@alargesmallhorse I guess I just get my "blue things = green eyes" thing from Sonic.
Wednesday, 25-Apr-12 10:32:10 UTC from web-
@redenchilada stupid sonic making poor design choices

@ceruleanspark I never got why people crossed fanon and canon. I always kept them separate until there was possible evidence supporting the fanon. To think off the bat that they should collide is dumb.

@alargesmallhorse Look at how this site ALREADY treats Chrysalis.
-
@ceruleanspark what? Everyone's overreacting to Chrysalis. At this point, I'm not even paying attention.
Wednesday, 25-Apr-12 10:24:57 UTC from web-
@alargesmallhorse She's lonley, sad, misunderstood, etc. She's the new Luna, basically.
-
@ceruleanspark I have yet to see this. I'm to busy hating chrysalis over here.
Wednesday, 25-Apr-12 10:27:13 UTC from web-
@alargesmallhorse I didn't even see the episode and the posts about chrysalis don't bother me.
Wednesday, 25-Apr-12 10:28:54 UTC from web-
@hakupony She was a good villian, I just hate the hype surrounding her more. Also, her character design angers me more and more, but that's neither here nor there.

@alargesmallhorse yeah, to be honest I haven't seen much discussion about show theories, etc., at least not on RDN. I think it's because that sort of thing really isn't what brings us together in the first place.
Wednesday, 25-Apr-12 10:17:06 UTC from web-
@pony Someone has to bring up a topic to start the discussion.
Wednesday, 25-Apr-12 10:18:00 UTC from web-
@hakupony yep.. I've seen it happen. Ponies here are usually eager to discuss, but we choose to discuss other things usually it seems.

@redenchilada CLAP YOUR HOOVES AND GIVE A LITTLE SHAKE
-
@ceruleanspark I wonder if they very specifically avoided saying "clop your hooves" there because of us. I'm sure Lauren would have wanted it that way, since she was big on making sure the ponies were as pony-like as possible.
Wednesday, 25-Apr-12 10:44:24 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel I think canon clopping is the foot-stamping-clap thing they do.
-
@ceruleanspark That makes sense since the sound "clop" is the sound when a hoof hits solid ground :)
Wednesday, 25-Apr-12 10:46:51 UTC from web
-
-
@toksyuryel @ceruleanspark that sounds right to me. Clap and clop may also just be interchangeable.
Wednesday, 25-Apr-12 10:46:58 UTC from web -
@toksyuryel Actually, based on that nerf-lawsuit from earlier, we can infer that hasbro cares less about Bronies than it does about Nerf fans, whom it historically does not care about at all.
-
@ceruleanspark What nerf lawsuit?
Wednesday, 25-Apr-12 10:49:15 UTC from web-
@hakupony Hasbro sued a guy for posting pictures of a pre-release nerf gun he bought on Taobao. Hasbro has never sued anyone for posting (Or even selling) prerelease ponies.
-
@ceruleanspark Maybe they wanted to avoid fan dumb. We can get really flankhurt on some things and it is easy to sell things to us.
Wednesday, 25-Apr-12 10:52:03 UTC from web -
@ceruleanspark Clearly this calls for a moving fanfic documenting Hasbro's tragic childhood and explaining that they're just misunderstood.
Wednesday, 25-Apr-12 10:53:28 UTC from web -
@ceruleanspark I haven't heard anything about a lawlsuit, the article only said that the guy received a C&D letter followed by a visit from a couple thugs. They have sent out at least one C&D to a pony site (the ponyarchive incident, if you'll recall) and they have been doing takedowns of full episodes on youtube, but beyond that they've been pretty chill and they haven't sent out any thugs yet.
Wednesday, 25-Apr-12 10:57:20 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel Yeah. On the other hand I'm actively bidding on a THIRD prototype pony figure, publically advertised by a charity, and hasbro doesn't seem to care.
-
@ceruleanspark The thing I wonder about is whether their apparent hands-off approach is a deliberate strategy or just more of their business as usual corporate incompetence which they are oh so famous for.
Wednesday, 25-Apr-12 11:02:03 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel Must be incompetence. They could crush TPM in a heartbeat and almost nopony would notice.

@redenchilada i said it as a joke you obviously weren't here for. We were discussing the social application of that phrase after someone asked what "ladybugs awake" meant. i said it was like "ah murdock, the sunshine[police] is here, ladybugs get the heck outta here." and it could be applied to any number of things.

@alargesmallhorse I don't know any single fandom which isn't like this.
Wednesday, 25-Apr-12 10:30:02 UTC from web-
@hakupony The pokemon fandom doesn't care about filling in the holes. They're too busy hating everything and then going out and buying it.
Wednesday, 25-Apr-12 10:32:33 UTC from web-
@alargesmallhorse GEN 1 WAS THE ONLY GOOD POKEMANS. BY THE WAY DO YOU WANT MY POKEMON WHITE FC.

@hakupony Hey, look, [evil organization] is trying to [thing] all Pokemon! You have to stop him, [ten-year-old] from [small town]! But on your way, you also have to collect eight gym badges and become a Pokemon master!
Wednesday, 25-Apr-12 10:38:05 UTC from web-
@redenchilada I just watched the first Season and it was more like this: "Ash wants to be the best. Team Rocket want Pokemon and travel to the sun. The end"
Wednesday, 25-Apr-12 10:40:08 UTC from web-
@hakupony What? No, that's the anime. I'm talking about the games.
Wednesday, 25-Apr-12 10:41:20 UTC from web-
@redenchilada I just played 1st Generation.
