Ok... even if @ceruleanspark gets shouted at for changing the logo at leisure, surely there is nothing wrong with a rotating selection of rainbow dash pictures? I know !braeburn network would be preferable, or spitfire network, but that aint likely... just asking for some original rainbow dash thats all

@purplephish20 Original Rainbow Dash? As in before G4?

@purplephish20 I wouldn't be against that, was just a bit perplexed when you said 'original Rainbow Dash'.

@scribble G3 RAINBOW DASH GO GO GO

@scribble No wait, we did that for April Fool's.

@thelastgherkin You have 10 more months to wait.

@purplephish20 I think that's a very good idea. :)
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:11:32 UTC from web -
@purplephish20 I propose a new rule: anyone who shouts at @ceruleanspark for changing the logo should be silenced until the logo is changed back.
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:11:40 UTC from web -
@purplephish20 So long as it's something with the show we can change the logo like that. Cabal only had a issue at that joke we did.

@purplephish20 Cuddlecakes. I remember, because I changed my name to that and he silenced me.

@purplephish20 Not only that, but cabal then proceeded to threaten to suspend the domain if the logo wasn't changed back immediately.
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:17:22 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel Only the dead can know peace from jimmy rustling such as that
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:18:01 UTC from web-
@purplephish20 It is especially noteworthy in that the site doesn't even belong to him anymore. He was just going to shut it down, but thanks to @purpletinker and the community was persuaded to hand it over to @mrdragon and @ceruleanspark instead. But it seems he wasn't ready to give up unilateral decision making power and kept the domain.
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:21:53 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel That's _my_ issue. "Hey guys I'm dropping this site and you have to finance and run it if you want it to stay but I still keep final say in what goes on"

@redenchilada I'd say quite a few of us are bothered by the situation.

@purplephish20 Yes, despite being a loyal user of the site for nearly a year, changing my name and avatar to that of a cute pink pony is silence-worthy. Which is ironic, considering whatsisface's parading about free speech and all that.
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:17:32 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin cabal's cutie mark is a hypocrite
-
@thelastgherkin Chillax. Cabal overreacts sometimes, but he's a good pony.
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:24:19 UTC from web-
@purpletinker I've yet to see his good side. I'll believe it when I see it.
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:26:43 UTC from web -
@purpletinker @thelastgherkin Same. He doesn't seem like a 'good pony' to me. Then again, I don't know anything about him outside of RDN.
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:28:19 UTC from web-
@scribble I have seen Cabal overreact many times. But I've also seen how compassionate he is when I badly needed a friend. I've met him multiple times IRL. He's never struck me as evil at all. Idealistic, sometimes prone to knee-jerk reactions, but never malicious. He reminds me of myself at his age, actually.
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:30:20 UTC from web-
@purpletinker Eh, doesn't sound to different to me, if I'm honest...
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:31:51 UTC from web-
@scribble Malice is genuinely wanting to do harm to innocents. Cabal's never malicious.
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:34:23 UTC from web-
@purpletinker I wouldn't say never. The way he acted about shutting down RDN seemed a bit ridiculous to me.
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:35:27 UTC from web-
@scribble Of course it was ridiculous, which is why I jumped in immediately to stop him. But don't confuse 'making a ridiculous mistake' for 'doing something evil'.
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:36:51 UTC from web-
@purpletinker I never called him evil, just not necessarily nice.
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:38:10 UTC from web-
@scribble He's shown himself to be neutral on bad days, nice on good days. Never evil.
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:39:13 UTC from web-
@purpletinker It just doesn't SEEM to be neutral, if you know what I mean.

@purpletinker Besides, to me, evil would be him just doing it, without taking a single word users said in effect.

@purpletinker Though, I don't tend to be quite as vocal to certain things as he is, I think.

@purpletinker Yes, but to put it bluntly... he's not a good admin. Even ignoring when he overreacts, he gave out mod priveleges like candy when he was the head admin, and most of said mods were hardly ever around.
-
@purpletinker It doesn't alter the fact that holding the domain hostage is a dick move, doesn't matter how much of a "good pony" you are otherwise.
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:29:48 UTC from web-
@colfax I won't even get into how much BronyCon intellectual property I still control. BronyCon's still here. So's RBDN. Don't worry. As long as I draw breath and there's a community to fill these digital walls, RBDN will be around. If you want to get your jimmies rustled about someone in our community, I can point you at MUCH better targets for jimmy-rustling, people who have done things with actual malice for their own gain.
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:32:56 UTC from web-
@purpletinker And what he did with the domain _wasn't_ "actual malice" for his "own gain"? Did you happen to see the drama that occured as a direct result?
-
@redenchilada I recall him saying he would shut it down. This would not have benefited him in the slightest. It would have damaged his reputation and caused a lot of upset people. I really don't see how you think he could have benefited from a shutdown of the service.
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:36:09 UTC from web-
@purpletinker The threat alone damaged his reputation well beyond repair.
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:37:17 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel Forgive him. He made a stupid mistake. He's moved on, and so should all of us. The server's still here. Let's enjoy it.

@purpletinker Ok, then, I'll concede that point. It was still reckless and careless, which is not a quality I want to see in someone with that much say in the site. I'm not saying he's a bad _person_, but he makes way too many snap calls without considering the community for me to trust him _as an admin_.

@purpletinker And RDBN will be even better off once we move to a server 3x the power this one has next month. We can do some crazy things with that.
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:34:56 UTC from web-
@mrdragon Awesome! Do you think the timeline would be synchronized immediately?
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:36:32 UTC from web-
@hakupony It's got two duel cores and 16GB of ram, I think its safe to say it will be.
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:37:52 UTC from web-
@mrdragon I'm really looking forward to that. Thanks for the intel btw.
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:38:40 UTC from web-
@hakupony Heh, Intel.. sorry was a funny joke as the cores are from intel
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:38:57 UTC from web-
@mrdragon For a change this one was on purpose :)

@mrdragon Why two dual cores instead of one quad core?
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:38:41 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel 'cause two dual cores is cheaper?
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:39:12 UTC from web -
@toksyuryel Cheaper, and two duel cores in fact is better then a single quad core, it spreads the load even more successfully.
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:39:54 UTC from web-
@mrdragon Interesting. Good to know!
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:40:26 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel Well, our load is highly parallel, so I guess it makes little difference.

@mrdragon It's got dual dual cores???
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:44:16 UTC from web-
@redenchilada Yes, yes it does.
Tuesday, 22-May-12 17:50:18 UTC from web-
@mrdragon You should consider getting another server just like it. Then we can say you have dual dual dual cores.
