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.
-
@princegentlegiant No problem ;)
-
@anaveragesizedhorse O heck no, I know carcino has like 13,000+ post
-
@anaveragesizedhorse My plan is to pass 10000.
-
@anaveragesizedhorse Dude, that's like averaging over 100 posts a day.
-
@anaveragesizedhorse *just saw the daily average post count and realized he didn't have to do a rough calculation in his head*
-
@anaveragesizedhorse Yeah. Seriously, 179 posts a day?! Holy crap.
-
@anaveragesizedhorse Sweet mother of Celestia, that's like one every five minutes.
-
@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.
-
@anaveragesizedhorse Wat. ._.
-
@anaveragesizedhorse Because their target fanbase is too young to care. I'm pretty sure that their adult fanbase grew exponentially with G4
-
@gangstashy and yet they publish over 100 new fanfics a year for all those groups and many prove to make a good return.

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

@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.
-
@anaveragesizedhorse Supposedly, there may or may not be more brony-geared merchandise from Hasbro.
-
@mrbrown Also, go to sleep. Silly filly. :3
-
@gangstashy Ted is legion.
-
@gangstashy So who's making !ted now?
-
-
-
@gangstashy I'm hugely confused, !ted...
-
@pawnheart That's a regular side effect.
