>I hadn't known her to be a particularly bad person while she was a poster. Often unamused and always cynical but never vindictive or petty. Such a heel turn seems odd to me.
Her stated philosophy for the site was one of managed decline. She drove off a lot of people, and I'm sure she was happy to see them go.

>How'd those three cause the ship to sink?

Behind the scenes, Mk and Zeke had basically taken charge of the site since Toybox stopped caring or even coming around. They consulted with Starshine (for some bizarre reason, since she'd been gone for years) regarding what to do with the site. Mind you, none of them were active on the site. They discussed the possibility of handing it over to someone else. Among the people they considered, they had even talked about handing it over to me, even though I wasn't even part of staff, probably because I was one of the most active people still on the site. But they straight up fabricated reasons to not do so. And without so much as asking anyone's opinion who actually used the site, the three of them decided to shut it down instead. They then informed Toybox who showed up to make the announcement, parroting their nonsensical justifications.

>Zeke? I always liked him though... Maybe i can talk to him directly as a neutral party, see if they were actually deleted or just in hors vactican vaults somewhere. Do you know how to contact him?

I don't have his contact info. He runs Getchan - probably the best place to get in touch with him.

>The main burr in my saddle is the lost history. As far as the civil war it's largely drama to me, as a prodigal.

Understandable.

>Nah, it was a straight up google.com link.

>Lain and a transwoman VR sex worker she is questioning for information.

Random anon here: HOWDY MIKIE! We interacted only 2 or 3 times and I am mostly an outsider to ponychan and just sometimes poked my head in during the latter days of FiM's run when you were in charge, but, for whatever reason you have always stuck with me as someone I remember. I don't know why. I unironically send a prayer up for you every once and awhile (don't be too creeped out, there is like another couple dozen who have the same treatment). Anyways, have this somewhat poorly animated gif of a ball bouncing with the word 4mikie because I have no idea what you are into now (or if I would have any skill or desire to draw it). God bless you.

No comments on the drama lore. I wish amy and the rest of the anons who poked in here well too. Hope I don't derail this thread. Don't be too weirded out by art, if I decided to become a poster here I would probably end giving everyone here random poorly drawn crap or strange edits every once and awhile. Mikie was someone on my kindness list though for awhile if I ran into him again

If I get into a habit of posting here more regularly, I will certainly say "howdy" if I see you and wouldn't mind talking more in depth if you wished. Being a lurker has its benefits and I myself have only been recently exploring around and dip my toes in the last few years as opposed to having a long trail of social media/postings that I feel may awkward about or regretted(though also maybe with less personal growth from interactions, it is a balance). I completely understand retreating into lurkerdom. Burnout happens and it's nice to chill and just watch, especially with other life circumstances. On a personal level, I empathize with you when you tried to and what boat trying to right now: holding something together from a mix of love and stubbornness. I too am in a similar though more drama free position.

honestly boat is a saint for keeping this site still going but the previous staff just closing the site down and taking the keys with them i still feel is unnecessary. but, thats all water on the bridge now.

also thank you, honestly at first i was hoping to bring real change to this site and to a degree i think i did. well, ideally speaking as zeke did all the leg work. but at the end it got to the point where i just couldn't take it anymore and i wanted out.... i also had major mental issues back then too. spammers and people just saying i ran the place into the ground because my idea for /ef/ was for the board to be more or less hands off. only thing we would ban is things that were obviously illegal but if it didn't break US law you were more or less free to post whatever you want.

>also thank you,
Frankly, my perception was that Ponychan by that time was divided into two primary groups, those that were evolving into social justice types from political polarization from 2016 and those who retrained to varying degrees, the old civil libertarian outlooks and appreciation for chan culture but also still also left leaning group. Your problem was you didn't have the support of the first group and didn't have the full support of the second group, which had varied definitions of what was too far. There may have been a few right leaners (trolls, genuine and a conservative Christian or two who may have been anti-NSFW) and a few people who were just "other" but that was the two power bases that I saw and you couldn't make a functional consensus without constant drama and trying to smooth things over with people who were concerned and dissatisfied. This is my perspective of an outsider who just read through some of it as I saw it happen. Keep in mind, and I use none of this terms pejoratively, just descriptively. This might have been baked into the site's DNA as a lot of the early infighting among /b/ronies on Ponychan and elsewhere was how ironic and trollish verses how sincere and welcoming it would be. I hide this hear because I don't want to derail the thread in past drama.

So I just kind of relate in a weird way because I have been in charge of groups of anons and had a couple of high stress situations, even if it was never to the level of Ponychan. I feel like that I would have ended up in a similar position if I was in charge of any space like that. Taking over after no one else was willing. That diplomatic tone mixed with the occasional slip up. That was me to a T. At least what I saw. I can't comment on the success of the changes because the main Ponychan I knew was when you ran it, lol!

oh yeah, i keep forgetting about that too. yeah, when i was in charge a lot of leftist posters kept trying to get me to do something about "nazi posters" or the "/pol/ content" when in reality there was barely much "/pol/ content" besides anons making bait to stir the pot and which obviously that's going to happen on an imageboard.i had one mod step down because he kept banning people for simply saying "nigger"and i told him that people saying nigger doesn't break the rules for the board. so later they all moved to a discord server and left the site entirely because i refused to enforce rules that were never there to enforce.

As I have stated previously I consider myself something of a foreigner to this board. My main experience with chans has been microscopic imagebaords with sometimes very specific posting styles and ways of things that do require a little lurking and context. So I try to be courteous and respectful of a place that I don't fully know like the back of my hand.

Supposedly a lot of people who didn't like conventions did like this one but I know little of it's goings on and how true that is for everyone. I've always been a bit squeamish of conventions myself. Main thing I hear about of it is it being seen as a relative success with some hiccups and drama over /mlpol/ presence or one guy having been a creep (I think) and general attempts to impose a cordon sanitaire by on it some factions of the fandom.

AnonymousCountry code: us, country type: geoip, valid: 1  21641

Crazy to see that all you people are still alive on this site.

I second what everyone else was saying. It was a combination of real world and gay internet politics that basically caused the division between all of the active posters. Then you had the split onto Voidchan - which was advertised by CatAnon as some bastion of freedom that it wasn't.
I jumped ship around that time because there was way too much high school drama, but even back then the writing was on the wall. That was like 2021 I believe.

Voidchan was genuinely a good place for a little while.

The problem is that the wrong people were trusted, emotion was allowed to seep and taint, and values were betrayed.

It was supposed to be a place for misfits, a bit of trolling, freedom to say whatever dumb ass opinion you had, and sharing jokes; but quickly turned into something toxic. And not like "You're a faggot" toxic. More like infighting between staff and personal drama toxic faggotry. Learn from the mistakes.

It isn't something that eats at me or anything, but sometimes I do wonder what happened to everyone that posted there seeking refuge. Sometimes I wonder what happened to Cat, Smiles; even the old ponychan fags like Toybox and all.

I was so deep into the trolling that it felt like a blur; everything was a stage and our arguments, displays, and posturing was the show. And yet through all of that stupid shit, I do appreciate that it all happened. It taught me a lot.

Even now, I feel like I'm a better friend, lover, and overall person with how I treat others (outside of VRchat. Holy shit I go full on retarded.)

I guess I don't really feel that bad about it. I'm sure everyone is doing alright.
