  1. I'm sorry everyone.

    1. @ceruleanspark I forgive you for not using "everypony"

      1. @pony What about Zebras and Griffins and furries.

        Monday, 04-Nov-13 15:19:41 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
        1. @ceruleanspark Furries can't exist in a perfect Equestria, Griffins have beak-like muzzles that make them ideal candidates to build pyramids, and zebras should learn our language or go back to their own country.

          1. @pony >Furries can't exist in equestria I WOULD LIKE TO POINT YOU TO THE EPISODE "A DOG AND PONY SHOW"

            1. @ceruleanspark Find me a nightmare night costume with an individual dressed as another species and I'll concede.

              1. @pony First: Pinkie Pie. Second: There's a pony in a mouse costume who is terrified during Lunas arrival. She cringes away from Lunas oustretched hoof

                1. @ceruleanspark you haved won!

          2. @pony My wife thought the beak like muzzle bit went too far down the path of antisemitism

    2. @ceruleanspark Geez Cerulean, the way you said that I thought you had done something silly to the site and I refreshed for nothing. :C

      Monday, 04-Nov-13 15:19:11 UTC from web
      1. @redenchilada I have. I've failed at the upgrade, driven out half the users and fostered a generally hostile atmosphere. You didn't need to refresh to see that though

        Monday, 04-Nov-13 15:20:23 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
        1. @ceruleanspark It's never too late to make a change if you feel it's needed

          Monday, 04-Nov-13 15:28:02 UTC from web
          1. @redenchilada I don't even know what change to make though.

            Monday, 04-Nov-13 15:29:16 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
            1. @ceruleanspark The easiest way to stop "promoting hostility" is to crack down on hostility. Like. Pow pow, strongly-worded warning here, ban hammer there, get folks in line when they act up. Just judo suplex everything. And grape the haters. They always get mad when they get in trouble.

              Monday, 04-Nov-13 15:35:12 UTC from web
              1. @redenchilada I feel like I've already lost since Gherkin left 5ever

                Monday, 04-Nov-13 15:36:17 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                1. @ceruleanspark :(

                  Monday, 04-Nov-13 15:37:49 UTC from web
                  1. @redenchilada Pretty much.

                    Monday, 04-Nov-13 15:38:43 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
              2. @redenchilada @ceruleanspark I have no problem with how stuff has been handled, but I think I'm more laid back than others. I dunno.

                Monday, 04-Nov-13 15:38:36 UTC from MuSTArDroid
                1. @pony The problem is that the people who did have problems have all left, so I can't exactly gather feedback

                  Monday, 04-Nov-13 15:39:09 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                  1. @ceruleanspark that sounds like their problem. I suppose the folks left here can still offer some feedback.

                    Monday, 04-Nov-13 15:43:22 UTC from MuSTArDroid
                    1. @pony I wish they would.

                      Monday, 04-Nov-13 15:51:16 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                      1. @ceruleanspark Maybe many are also laid back. Maybe for sanity's sake there need not be any bending over backwards to make certain users happy. I do like that the site is child friendly though, in any case. We've towed the line a bit lately, but I haven't noticed anything that was too much except maybe that one convo about a certain pony dating sim.

                        Monday, 04-Nov-13 16:18:58 UTC from web
                        1. @pony Is it bad that I got a bit excited when I read pony dating sim

                          Monday, 04-Nov-13 16:20:13 UTC from web
                          1. @flamingpandaomg there are multiple out! I would play them if they didn't make me feel more lonely afterward.

                            Monday, 04-Nov-13 16:20:54 UTC from web
                            1. @pony Yeah but are there any out that are QUALITY, is what I mean, I guess.

                              Monday, 04-Nov-13 16:22:05 UTC from web
                              1. @flamingpandaomg Since I haven't played any quality ones and I never really looked, I honestly don't know. I bet @equestriagaming might know whether there are any quality non-clop pony dating sims

                                Monday, 04-Nov-13 16:26:47 UTC from web
                                1. @pony @flamingpandaomg I've seen several, but I forget most of their names. Dunno if they're still alive or not, but to be honest I don't really care about dating sims that much, if at all.

                                  Monday, 04-Nov-13 16:28:21 UTC from web
                                  1. @equestriagaming </3 but dating sims

                                    Monday, 04-Nov-13 16:28:39 UTC from web
                                  2. @equestriagaming Are there any posts about them on the equestria gaming website?

                                    Monday, 04-Nov-13 16:29:19 UTC from web
                                    1. @pony I forget, although some would consider Welcome to Ponyville to be a dating sim (pfft).

                                      Monday, 04-Nov-13 16:34:09 UTC from web
                                      1. @equestriagaming I guess when I think "pony dating sim" I think something along the lines of Starswirl Academy.

                                        Monday, 04-Nov-13 16:34:56 UTC from web
                                        1. @flamingpandaomg To the best of my knowledge there's nothing nearly to that quality, although there's probably some small project somewhere. Then again, there's always the /mlp/ visual novel demo...heh heh heh.

                                          Monday, 04-Nov-13 16:36:35 UTC from web
                                          1. @equestriagaming that's really shady.

                                            Monday, 04-Nov-13 16:37:00 UTC from web
                                          2. @equestriagaming Maybe I just have ridiculous standards, but the only dating sims I've yet to play are Katawa Shoujo and 3/4 of Fate/Stay Night

                                            Monday, 04-Nov-13 16:40:09 UTC from web
                                      2. @equestriagaming that's kind of popular I rememebr.

                                        Monday, 04-Nov-13 16:36:49 UTC from web
                                        1. @pony Even if it was crap, and the player gets to sleep in the same bed as Vinyl Scratch with barely any effort.

                                          Monday, 04-Nov-13 16:42:00 UTC from web
                                          1. @equestriagaming to be fair, it seems like it's a common misconception that Vinyl Scratch is like that for whatever reason.

                                            Monday, 04-Nov-13 16:43:25 UTC from web
                                            1. @flamingpandaomg Yeah. The Vinyl I know is a very nice girl with perfectly normal appetites.

                                              Monday, 04-Nov-13 16:44:22 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                        2. @pony @ceruleanspark but in all fairness i think the mods did try to stop that conversation.

                          Monday, 04-Nov-13 16:20:18 UTC from web
                          1. @pony ...... waaaaaaaaaaait....... Are we talking about what I think we're talking about being considered a dating sim?

                            Monday, 04-Nov-13 16:21:49 UTC from web
                            1. @flamingpandaomg We're talking about banned from equestria right?

                              Monday, 04-Nov-13 16:24:51 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                              1. @ceruleanspark Yeah... that's... that's not a dating sim.

                                Monday, 04-Nov-13 16:25:45 UTC from web
                                1. @flamingpandaomg It's not really anything other than "Crudely rendered pornography" to be fair.

                                  Monday, 04-Nov-13 16:26:56 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                                  1. @ceruleanspark @flamingpandaomg from the censored stuff I've seen on YT I'd agree

                                    Monday, 04-Nov-13 16:28:18 UTC from web
                                  2. @ceruleanspark That's literally all it is.

                                    Monday, 04-Nov-13 16:28:21 UTC from web
        2. @ceruleanspark I'd say its more to do with the fact that this place has been around for 2 and a half years now. It's fair to say its not like it used to be. Not because of anything you've done, but just because change happens. People will probably leave because they're just bored of it all by now. As for the hostility, the way I see it, people have formed their cliques over their time here, then when they're happy with who they've got, they see much less reason to befriend others so they just sort of shoo them away. I'm not good at wording things but I hope you can see what I'm getting at here. Just thought I'd share how I view things. Also, I don't blame you for any problems with the site. When it comes down to it, you can destroy RDN at any given time but you choose not to because a significant number of people are happy with their relations here and you don't want to take that away from them. And I, and every other user, has to thank you for that.

          1. @ecmc @ceruleanspark thank you!

          2. @ecmc Thank you for posting this. I do see what you're getting at there. It's good feedback.
