    Say, does the Rainbow Dash Network Stream only play videos from the show?

      @5ofclubs What else would it play?

        @thelastgherkin Fan animations, sfm videos, maybe music.

          @5ofclubs The show's episodes are already divisive enough without bringing in everyone's conflicting opinions about fancruft.

            @thelastgherkin I find it a bit amusing that we can all grow to like the show, but the fan works don't. I guess it says a lot about the diversity of people here.

              @5ofclubs That's like saying it's amusing that someone's favourite pony isn't yours'.

                @thelastgherkin No, amusing may not be the word, but I am always interested in hearing what other people think. I see it as opening one's perspective even if you agree or disagree.

          @5ofclubs You could ask widget to add some videos to the rotation. I can't say he will, but he's offered to play a few things on the stream before.

            @redenchilada I didn't know widget had control of the videos. I have a few things in mind that I hope wouldn't offend anyone.

              @5ofclubs He can push videos to the stream control. I know he's offered to do it in the past, though I think that was mostly when someone was interested in watching a particular episode at the time.

                @redenchilada That seems a bit odd to me. All the episodes are on Youtube.

                  @5ofclubs It's basically an automated playlist of Youtube videos handled through meteor (the same thing that pushes new notices to the page in realtime). Admins have a control panel that lets them do things to it or something, I'm not really sure what all the options are.

                    @redenchilada It kind of makes me wonder what was playing during April Fools day.

                      @5ofclubs I don't think anything different was even played. I'm not sure, though, I don't use the stream. (Honestly I've hidden the button on my end, since I hate how it's just thrown on the page at the moment.)

                        @redenchilada I remember April Fools day I was on the forums and the moderators decided to change my favorite section to "My Little Pony; Friendship is Magic". The arguments that ensued were hilarious and the moderators had to change it back before the day even ended.
