  1. Ok since lyoko reminded me that I too have a post counter I looked and it was 3602. So thankyou @lyokotravels for showing me how much I'm addicted to this.

    2. @anaveragesizedhorse O heck no, I know carcino has like 13,000+ post

      Sunday, 28-Aug-11 08:36:57 UTC from web
    3. @anaveragesizedhorse My plan is to pass 10000.

    4. @anaveragesizedhorse Dude, that's like averaging over 100 posts a day.

    5. @anaveragesizedhorse *just saw the daily average post count and realized he didn't have to do a rough calculation in his head*

    6. @anaveragesizedhorse Yeah. Seriously, 179 posts a day?! Holy crap.

    7. @anaveragesizedhorse Sweet mother of Celestia, that's like one every five minutes.

    8. @anaveragesizedhorse @daisymare has a valid point. Nobody at Hasbro, or even on the MLP design team would have imagined this happening. Although, I think it's gonna take a while for the public to warm up to us. Hell, look at Trekkies, furries and other sci-fi enthusiasts. Most of the public still thinks they're weird, if not creepy.

      1. @gangstashy and yet they publish over 100 new fanfics a year for all those groups and many prove to make a good return.

    9. @anaveragesizedhorse Wat. ._.

    10. @anaveragesizedhorse Because their target fanbase is too young to care. I'm pretty sure that their adult fanbase grew exponentially with G4

    11. @mrbrown I was complaining that it presents itself as a gender-specific term and seems almost discriminatory (even though we know it isn't). Coming from the guy who has the f-word in his avatar.

    12. @anaveragesizedhorse Oh, I know. I'm just saying that we've blipped Hasbros radar enough for them to at least acknowledge us.

    13. @mrbrown I've been on here three months more than you. I was here back when cabal was still the admin. I'm well versed in the rules, I just lurk more often than not. Well, "brony" is a portmanteau of /b/, bro, and pony. I've met a couple people who thought they actually couldn't call themselves bronies because they were female. I, honestly, have no quarrels with the term itself. I think it's rather brilliant, but I don't like how it seems to have a "Guys only" sign tacked onto it (be it intentional or not). I've heard female fans use either "fillies" or more commonly Pegasisters. Personally, I'm more fond of the latter and I hope it actually catches on.

    14. @anaveragesizedhorse Supposedly, there may or may not be more brony-geared merchandise from Hasbro.

    15. @mrbrown LISTEN UP BRONIES. WE ARE NOW KNOWN AS TED. LET THIS BE HEARD ACROSS THE FANDOM.

            1. @pawnheart That's a regular side effect.
