There are also code words you can enter here which perform certain actions when you submit your post.

  • sage — lets you post without bumping a thread.
  • nonoko — uses the original post behavior to redirect to the board index.

These can be used at the same time as an e-mail address by typing ‹email›#‹action›.

You can also use Skype names in place of an e-mail. The notation is the same as a link to a username on skype itself, which is skype:‹username›

Been rewatching some of the show. Skipping around episodes just on what sounds interesting in title rather than trying to grind through what got me to stop watching to begin with..

Not bad. Some of the jokes are funnier than I remembered

Discord is the biggest reason to watch. Shame he doesn't appear more often.

Why the short face? Nother Nonymous (ID: 754c3a)Country code: us, country type: geoip, valid:   24[View]

Why do all My Little Ponies of latter generations (G2-G5) have such short, catlike snouts? The conventional cartoonists' wisdom, that a babylike short face makes a character cute and attractive, is clearly wrong. A character with a long, horsy face can be perfectly adorable.

So why did the designers decide to make the ponies look like goddam cats...

How many pony-related memes and graphics have you accumulated on your computers and drives? I have 1,339.

My pony folder has over 3,000 images. Now and then I go through it and try to bring order into the chaos.

Artistry and passion Nother Nonymous (ID: c4a7ae)Country code: us, country type: geoip, valid:   86[View]

Perhaps the most remarkable thing about MLP:FIM (G4) was the intensely serious and passionate artistry that it inspired in so many of its adult fans. Check out, or revisit, the pony products of DuoCartoonist on YouTube, or "Lullaby for a Princess" (Lullaby for a Princess Animation). These works, and countless other fan-produced works of graphic art, music, and animation, hugely surpass the show itself in intensity and adult emotionality. G5 doesn't compare.

Why? What did G4 do that none of its predecessors or successors did to inspire this outpouring of artistry?

I haven't seen G5 so my best guess would be that the corporate decision to press 'reset' on not just the series but the entire world/universe built around it has turned many off from getting invested in it at all. It's sort of like Disney declaring all of the Star Wars Expanded Universe to be non-canon only to retread old and previously well-worn ground but with worse stories. Since G5 has apparently hoof-waived away G4, they must necessarily retread the same concepts, stories, and themes. And then you have the issue that some must surely be asking, as I am - what exactly is G5? There's the CG style movies? the shows? the horrid looking Cal Arts cartoon miniatures? How do they all relate? Which ones are "real"? Which ones count? And then taking all of that, why get invested at all in something that is at best a poor facsimile of something that came before?

Celestia is obviously the best pony. Let's be honest.
