@thatonepony I know, and that's why I'm laughing so much. I joined just when the drama stage was in bloom.

This is weird, but Fimfiction doesn't seem to have Past Sins. Of all the places on the webz, I figured FimFiction would have it
-
@crusader8 It used to have Past Sins, which was I believe the place it started in
-
@crusader8 deviantART has a PDF, I think.
-
@thatonepony Good One. I will give Past Sins this: the guy's work is apparently wildly popular and well-known. I saw My Little Dashie on FimFiction has almost 200k views! I'll be lucky if anything I write gets even 100 views. I'm shooting for 100.
-
@crusader8 Eh, no doubt the butthurt from people not liking nyx brought the guy to say screw you all and remove it. The fandoms going down the drain and a lot of it's funny.
-
@mrdragon the fandom for that story or the fandom of brony
-
@crusader8 The Brony fandom in general
-
@mrdragon We never talk anymore Dragon.
-
@carcino I never get on much anymore because no one wants to talk to me
-
@mrdragon I'm confused on that, because it seems to get bigger and more known but peeps keep saying it is dying. Is there any specific inarguable evidence in either way, or is it a divided set of stances relying on differing perspectives?
-
@mrdragon Nonsense.
-
@mrdragon Guess I'm no one eh? http://ur1.ca/997la
-
@crusader8 It's not dying, it's changing, it's gone from loveandtolerate to just play power hungry idiots. Bronycon is the best example, and then EQD has lost it's head on power as well. Kicking once loyal people to the dirt as if they were junk. Get out there and see the dirty end of the Fandom, it's growing quicker then the fandom is itself
-
@carcino Well now you are.
-
@crusader8 I think it's got something to do with the fact that the bigger it gets, the less close-knit it feels.
-
@mrdragon Ouch.
-
@mrdragon what are you talking about I don't mind talking to you.. Also i'm on twitter everyday !! https://twitter.com/#!/lyokotravels follow me plz, if that's ok with you that is...
-
@carcino Ouch? What for? Your the first person to say that on here in a month
-
@lyokotravels I don't use Twitter other then to poke and laugh with Tinker
-
@mrdragon I noticed.
-
@mrdragon Oh. misread that. forget the ouch. Come back to bed deary.
-
@carcino Wait, what bed? My beds outside right now waiting for my new double :'D
-
@mrdragon I got this here. Thing.
-
@mrdragon oh you... http://ur1.ca/997mx

@mrdragon It's because of the growth. Those who have power now feel they're not one of the elders of the village, but the rulers of an empire. It's what happens when you let someone who's not a natural leader grab power, and has a onstant influx of idiots that listen to him. As soon as the fandom became big enough to move considerable money, this was bound to happen. It's only a matter of avoiding the filthy spots though.
-
@mrdragon there's an actual online address in which I can browse the dirty end, and witness loyal people being actively kicked and news sites getting drunk on power? (Speaking of EQD, I wonder what the exact nature of their power is that they're supposedly getting drunk on. I on;ly use the word "supposedly" because I can't confirm or deny it) @scribus I don't feel anything close-knit about bronydom, but maybe that's because I started too late. And I haven't creatively contributed anything with a "wow" factor.
-
@nerthos Tell me about it. I prefer the 'neurotic, but nurturing, Jewish mother' role in my interactions with the fandom lately. Watching a lot of egos run out of control. Not that I can't be an arrogant jerk myself, but I always saw myself primarily as a servant to the community. Let's just say that my first three BronyCons were *NOT* fun experiences. At all.
-
@nerthos And if you may have noticed, RDN is in fact have a good boom in growth of late. We should be close to using double the bandwidth of last month, and we have some new users and it's growing. I intend to keep this a safe spot, this captain will go down with his ship before he sees her taken by the enemy.

@mrdragon this site is important to me because the odds of me hooking up with brony groups in VA is < 0%. They're out there, but apparently hush-hush or inactive.
-
@mrdragon Virginia, sorry.
-
@crusader8 Most likely somewhere out there.
-
@crusader8 Virginia is a major convergence point for Horse people. You're not looking hard enough.
-
@crusader8 Did you try the VA group[s] listed on http://www.bronies.com/map/ ?

@purpletinker I have never talked to you enough, or meddled with any important issues of the fandom to really know what's going on in the higher circles, but I can gather from knowledge on politics and psychology that it's not nice; the usual plotting and schemes of deception and betrayal to grab power even if just for a little while. I'm arrogant and with an ego the size of the sun myself, yet I completely lack interest in getting involved in such things; so I can see how someone with a big ego would act in a position like that. As far as I know, you're not a saint, but by any means you're what some try to make others believe. You're a normal woman trying to do something for a community, with a fair amount of bad luck that came from not cutting some heads in the right moment. But yeah, as long as there's profit and the sense of power over anything involved, things will end like this again and again.
-
@mrdragon Yes, in the last months the site reached a peak of activity few times seen in the past. Though instead of drama and butthurt, this time it's about nice new people and intelligent discussions. I like where this place is going, and I can't but congratulate you on your good work.
-
@purpletinker yeah... overwhelming inactivity , mostly everyone clamoring for a meetup but no one planning one. If I actually had the resources to arrange and host one, I would, but alas I'm not that type of pony.
-
@nerthos Holy sh** for once I get congratulations, you have no idea how many times I come here and watch people congratulates only Cerulean missing everyone else that also helps here. We got rid of the drama a long time ago, and like hell would anyone here let it back on.

@mrdragon Not on my watch.

@mrdragon Sorry I don't say it more often, but I really do appreciate everything you do and am thankful for it. And I do enjoy taking with you and giving you hugs. I didn't realize how much it meant to you to be constantly reminded that you are appreciated, I'll try to remember going forward.

@mrdragon Cerulean might keep some things working, but he's the tech. You're now the head of this, and we have to thank you for keeping it running. People usually think he's the one responsible for everything just because he's here all the time.
-
@nerthos I am arrogant, and I am grumpy. But the brony community has never known a more stubborn ally.
-
@thatonepony 'I'M SO UNAPPRECIATED AND TELL PEOPLE I HAVE ILLNESSES FOR ATTENTION, UGUU LOOK AT ME SNUGGLING AND KISSING ON THE TIMELINE' There are your lines, read them well Thespian.

@purpletinker That is the way things should be. A leader has to be arrogant, otherwise the weight of responsibility ends up breaking him/her. And if (s)he's not grumpy, the not-so-considerate would disregard warnings and wreak havoc around, confusing politeness with weakness.
-
@carcino And then he died of pony AIDS, and everypony was happy and there was a pinkie party and lots of cider, yay!
-
@thatonepony Aw. i was so hyped to be one of the other Drama queens.
-
@thatonepony I have Pony cold.
-
@thatonepony I don't think so. I'll wear my HEV suit just to be sure.
-
@thatonepony We need someone with an extreme capacity for violence.
-
@carcino And friendship was magic.
-
@thatonepony Mom can play me all she likes. http://ur1.ca/997ty
-
@thatonepony By any means, be so.
-
@carcino That sounds dirty
-
@thatonepony I know.
-
@mrdragon It should have. I meant it to be.
-
@thatonepony Awwwwww But but but but I wanted to be (Who else was part of the little group?)
-
@carcino The bestest lord.

-
@thatonepony Spacebrony was actually my friend Shay trolling the everloving hell out of them. She's great. Awesome pony is weird like that.
-
@thatonepony "until he realized people were making fun of him for it" killed me.
-
@thatonepony I know, and the weird part is he tells me at school how much he hates that kind of stuff like every day.
-
@thatonepony Haha. Shakespear. Possible.
