Was just in synchtube, casually chatting and whatnot. A video ended, and I offered up my PMV as a suggestion amongst the 4 or 5 being offered by others. The moderator told me not to bother posting it again because he wouldn't play it. He said he watched it earlier and "didn't like it." I asked him what he didn't like about it, as it is the only PMV/AMV I've ever made and there are probably a lot of things I need to improve on, but he simply ignored me from that point forward. After the stressful weekend I just had and spending half of today in a hospital bed, it sucks to be told that something I made is crap and can't be shown to anyone else. Not sure what to do for the rest of the night, but I'm too awake to sleep. #feelsbadpony

@scootaloops Dude, that's not the spirit of friendship and kindness that ponies are supposed to show. !hug

@delc17 Thank you so much! I had the same thought in my head as this was going on, but none of the 20+ others in the room seemed to care that a mod was acting so, well, un-pony. I'm quick to think that something is my fault, so I thought maybe I had accidentally annoyed everyone in the room even though I hadn't done anything. I'm glad to see somepony still has such a great attitude about friendship and kindness. !hug

@scootaloops Glad you're feeling better !hug again. You don't need ponies like that telling u stuff like that in your life. Especally when you have ponies like us around. *smiles*

@scootaloops Did anyone else offer critique of it, or were you just ignored as a whole?
Wednesday, 25-May-11 06:54:23 UTC from web-
@zarkanorf One person in the room asked which video was mine, but didn't say anything beyond that. Nopony else even said a word about what was going on. I stayed for another ~10 minutes to see if maybe the mod was just busy with other things and perhaps wanted some time to type out a nice critique, but then he just started chatting with others in the room. I'm sure I'm just overreacting, since it really isn't a big deal. I just have a history of being teased and ignored by classmates that lasted from grade 1 to grade 7, and those feelings get brought back up when a similar situation arises. But I really do appreciate that you and others on here are taking an interest in what happened. !hug

@scootaloops !hug Hey, I've been in the same situation, being teased by kids from first to seventh grade... but then I kind of fought back?
Wednesday, 25-May-11 07:06:27 UTC from web-
@zarkanorf !hug It really sucks being picked on/teased, and it's difficult to forget habits one may have picked up as a result. For example, I was at Anime Central over the weekend and a close friend of mine grabbed my convention guide to check out the list of panels. Since I've so strongly associated the "grab something from me without asking" action with "I'm taking something of yours to mess with you," I immediately got upset about it. But he's a very intelligent person and quickly realized what had happened, so it all worked out.
Wednesday, 25-May-11 07:34:49 UTC from web-
@scootaloops I was the same way, except I automated to immediately grabbing it back.

@scootaloops sounds like a dick, but don't worry, you have the consolations of Carcino now.
Wednesday, 25-May-11 06:54:25 UTC from StatusNet Android-
@carcinopony Hehehe, thank you! I really need to spend some more time on here and get to know everypony on the site. RD Network seems like a very friendly place, and I love friendly places! :3

@scootaloops Hehe. I find it funny that some ponies can't stand it because they say this place is like a hugfest or a hugbox. I think that's what makes it really special

@delc17 I love how hug-filled it is here! I wasn't even expecting any replies to my original post, but I needed to get what had happened off my chest and this seemed like the most understanding place. I have a feel people on Facebook would just have been confused. XD
Wednesday, 25-May-11 07:17:41 UTC from web-
@scootaloops U should try facehoof :P Not sure if that's a real place though. Just makin a joke
Wednesday, 25-May-11 07:19:13 UTC from web-
@delc17 Hehehehe, Facehoof. I'm a bit curious about FlankBook: http://flankbook.amscpu.com/sys/ though RD Network is all I need/want at the moment. :3
Wednesday, 25-May-11 07:28:16 UTC from web-
@scootaloops EVERYONE SHOULD JOIN FLANKBOOK AND ADD ME i'm a bit obsessed with it for some reason
Wednesday, 25-May-11 07:29:59 UTC from web-
@yaya I finally got one made! Here's my link (at least, I think it is): http://flankbook.amscpu.com/sys/members/scootaloops/

@scootaloops and the best part is I'm the must UNfriendly one here! This place is magic I tell ya.
Wednesday, 25-May-11 07:11:18 UTC from StatusNet Android-
@carcinopony You're the MOST unfriendly? This place just keeps getting better and better. I think finally getting around to posting and using RDN has made this (wait for it) the BEST NIGHT EVER! :D

@scootaloops We're no Gala. :P
Wednesday, 25-May-11 07:39:24 UTC from web-
@zarkanorf I'd much rather hang out with nice, friendly folks instead of going to some big, fancy Gala. And everypony here is kind and friendly, so I'm quite happy! :3

@scootaloops at the gala! I'm going to see the Mall!
Wednesday, 25-May-11 07:39:46 UTC from StatusNet Android-
@carcinopony The mall! It can never be unheard! XD
Wednesday, 25-May-11 07:43:53 UTC from web-
@scootaloops it cannot. Which is why I must go to the mall.
Wednesday, 25-May-11 07:45:20 UTC from StatusNet Android-
@carcinopony I guess there's nothing wrong with going to the mall. I mean, maybe the creatures there will be a nicer? And if not, at least there's probably a decent food to hang out at.
Wednesday, 25-May-11 07:47:11 UTC from web-
@scootaloops you hangout with food?
Wednesday, 25-May-11 07:49:36 UTC from StatusNet Android-
@carcinopony Well, I do have this friend who is actually a bucket of turnips...
Wednesday, 25-May-11 07:52:08 UTC from web-
@scootaloops THAT CANT BE. STARSHINE IS THE BUCKET OF TURNIPS
Wednesday, 25-May-11 07:52:58 UTC from web -
@scootaloops oops, didn't mean caps
Wednesday, 25-May-11 07:53:07 UTC from web-
@delc17 Accidental caps are the best kind of caps. :D

@scootaloops Are we going to meet up in a doughnut bar after we ruin-i mean-improve the gala?
Wednesday, 25-May-11 07:42:12 UTC from web-
@gear I could go for a couple of donuts with sprinkles. Actually, that sounds really delicious right now... :0
Wednesday, 25-May-11 07:45:21 UTC from web-
@scootaloops Dunno where u live or age, but Dunkin Donuts, some locations are open 24/7
Wednesday, 25-May-11 07:46:47 UTC from web-
@delc17 I think there's one about a mile away from here (currently visiting my parents in NW Indiana). I might wait until later and get mahself a yummy breakfast sandwich. :3
Wednesday, 25-May-11 07:49:24 UTC from web-
@scootaloops Check the locations on the map on their website. that way u can check to see their hours
Wednesday, 25-May-11 07:50:34 UTC from web -

@scootaloops !hug That was probably one of the best PMVs I've seen. Clean animation, near perfect synchronization and clips that actually relate to what's going on lyrically. Seriously, that mod was being really un-brony.
Wednesday, 25-May-11 07:14:39 UTC from web-
@gear Thank you so much, especially for the feedback! I tried really hard to make sure the clips fit the actual context of the lyrics, even though it took me much longer to finish as a result. There are definitely a few spots where the lip-syncing isn't perfect, but after putting so much time into that video I had to accept some things not being 100% as perfect as I'd like and just get it finalized before I went nuts and got sick of the song. XD I really appreciate you taking the time to review my PMV, and I'm glad you liked it! !hug
Wednesday, 25-May-11 07:23:54 UTC from web-
@scootaloops Of course! I always love watching PMVs. :) The fact that people actually match up lyrics to random scenes is quite amazing, even if it's not 100% bang-on. Still, fantastic job! :3
