Okay, for the whole #newpony thing: newponies always kinda fail because they don't know the social "rules" of our little society yet. Esecially when this is the first site as a Brony, you don't really know what to say. Some people would start with a simple "hi" and not say another word. Other people would start with the show to connect. This site once had something wonderful, you got here and people were interested in you, you felt welcome and came back, learned he "rules" and became a part of this community. As cliché as it is, the whole "love and tolerate" stuff is a nice way to approach newponies to give them a chance. Whoever reads this, please think about it. At least for me, it was on my mind that this community changed for the worse and I actually pondered about quitting.

@hakupony That's how I've always felt, this why I always try to give newponies a warm welcome and even made a bot for it. :p

@minti THATS where @welcomepony came from?
Tuesday, 25-Sep-12 02:43:16 UTC from web-
@zeldatra Yep.
Tuesday, 25-Sep-12 02:43:26 UTC from web-
@minti ... I never got a welcome from @welcomepony. Is she avoiding me? Did I do something wrong?
Tuesday, 25-Sep-12 02:44:56 UTC from web-
@zeldatra There was a period where I exploded the server she's hosted on, so you probably joined during that. xD

@hakupony hey! I tried.
Tuesday, 25-Sep-12 02:42:27 UTC from web-
@rainbowmaui I actually wanted to say that the way you were welcomed was wrong, not your first appearance.
Tuesday, 25-Sep-12 02:44:16 UTC from web-
@hakupony ah. ok!

@hakupony Part of the problem is a few people running off the new members. :s That'll be dealt with. I'll admit I've gotten to ignoring new people in favor of the circle I'm in now, though :c
Tuesday, 25-Sep-12 02:43:21 UTC from web-
@redenchilada We just ain't used to newponies like we should be. This site isn't too popular with the rest of the fandom, I'm assuming..
Tuesday, 25-Sep-12 02:47:00 UTC from web-
@burgundyenchilada I'll try me best to fit in.
Tuesday, 25-Sep-12 02:47:39 UTC from web-
@rainbowmaui You're doing perfect, don't change
Tuesday, 25-Sep-12 02:48:12 UTC from web-

@rainbowmaui And that is a good thing. Luckily you will learn soon that we're all a bunch of loons.. :P
Tuesday, 25-Sep-12 02:51:35 UTC from web-

@rainbowmaui Just talk with people you like and answer to posts that seem interesting. It will go smoothly soon.

@hakupony my RDN broke for 10 sec. :,(

@rainbowmaui FLAT!
Tuesday, 25-Sep-12 02:56:55 UTC from web -
@rainbowmaui Yeah, that happens sometimes. I save my messages with CTRL+C before sending just in case.

@burgundyenchilada im always ready for #newponies
Tuesday, 25-Sep-12 02:47:58 UTC from web -
@burgundyenchilada ...I prefer not to think about how the rest of the fandom views us. -_-
Tuesday, 25-Sep-12 02:48:14 UTC from web-
@redenchilada Oh man, I do! I want to see them scream at us for being unfriendly when they were the ones yelling at us. :p
Tuesday, 25-Sep-12 02:49:45 UTC from web-
@minti No, honest, I've heard bad things about what the rest of the fandom thinks of us. There's _something_ we really need to try to improve, but I have no clue what that is.
Tuesday, 25-Sep-12 02:51:17 UTC from web-
@redenchilada probably them dang Roleplayers... there just.... strange
Tuesday, 25-Sep-12 02:54:25 UTC from web -
@redenchilada Each part of the fandom thinks the others are bad. The problem with here is that they see as "wrong" the long not stupid debates we hold. And also at some point there was the "bluh bluh they support PT" thing.
Tuesday, 25-Sep-12 02:54:33 UTC from web-
@gladosenchilada God, anything related to her is gonna start something, ain't it. :/ God bless the woman, but sometimes I don't know what to think of her.
Tuesday, 25-Sep-12 02:55:53 UTC from web-
@redenchilada I stay completely out of the issue. I know some of the things that are said about her/he/it are blatant lies, but her/his DA was basically high octane drama fuel, each word crafted particularly to that end. So I don't take a side, I just let them bite each other to death.
Tuesday, 25-Sep-12 02:57:49 UTC from web-
@gladosenchilada Same here. I will say, though, that for the time she ran this site, she was a pretty cool admin. Didn't yell at me for flooding her email with suggestions.
Tuesday, 25-Sep-12 02:59:15 UTC from web-
@redenchilada Yeah, as an admin e wasn't bad. A bit paranoid, though, the couple times we talked. Found attacks/bigotry even in the soup.

@redenchilada It's not like I was without sin. I just believe that networks like this are important to people who don't have friends who share their interest in ponies or who are not even open with that interested. We are kind of a sheltered area from being called a freak for being enthusiastic about a show about colourful ponies. That's why I ask everypony not to be a jerk for once when talking to them.
Tuesday, 25-Sep-12 02:53:07 UTC from web-
@hakupony "Being a jerk" is the realm of a few people here. Most people just ignore the new folk... which is every bit as bad.
Tuesday, 25-Sep-12 02:54:45 UTC from web-
@redenchilada i never ignore! just never around cause this place turned me off... but it seems good and fun and light hearted again!
Tuesday, 25-Sep-12 02:55:57 UTC from web -
@redenchilada I don't think it is as bad. If there are 6 users online and 3 ignore the newponies, the newponies still are overwhelmed by three ponies interested in them. If 2 act as jerks towards them, this has much more negative influence.
