foamyesque Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I know there are a bunch of bronies on the forum. I know there are a fair number of people who dislike pony images being dropped in threads that have, otherwise, nothing to do with the show, and are being done just for the purposes of posting pony images.Well then, I say, post them here. Episode discussion, fan artwork, whatever people like, and hopefully we can avoid bothering others with it.Good plan? Good plan.So! Most recent episode, S2E17, 'Hearts & Hooves Day'. It\'s obviously a Valentine\'s Day episode, and involved the CMCs, who I usually find less interesting than the main cast, but-- contrary to a number of other people\'s opinions-- I quite liked this one. For starters, we see the CMCs do something completely unrelated to getting their cutie marks (in fact it wasn\'t even mentioned). Big Mac got some pretty cool strength feats to his name, which I don\'t want to spoil in case anybody hasn\'t seen the episode. Humour was good. All in all one of my favourite episodes of the season, up there with 'Read It & Weep', 'The Secret of My Excess', 'Last Roundup', and 'Sisterhooves Social'. Song wasn\'t as good as many of them, unfortunately.And now, miscellaneous artwork! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luigibro606 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Actually, this idea had been done on another forum and it worked very well. I hardly ever saw a pony once they created their megathread, which is currently on page 141. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mincespy Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Yeah. I fully support this thread, because I am against the ponification of this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tosh Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Mods, please don\'t ban this thread. It will help reduce the pony spam by a lot.NovaSilisco\'s right, there\'s grand conspiracy unfolding.

RC1062 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 NovaSilisco\'s right, there\'s grand conspiracy unfolding. To get all the pony haters in one thread -- and ban \'em all at once ;DThat means you\'ll get banned aswell! Why did you post?!Oh... Damn...

mincespy Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 That means you\'ll get banned aswell! Why did you post?!Oh... Damn...No. We won\'t get banned. What will happen is that this thread will end the pony spam across all areas of the forum.This has several advantages:-People who want to join but don\'t because of all the pony spam will now join-People who dislike ponies won\'t be annoyed by them anymore-The mods don\'t have to combat constant pony spam and can get on with being mods.So, this thread is good for everyone.

mincespy Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Yes I know. Did you read Tosh\'s post?I meant it as a joke.I know. But I was listing the advantages so the mods wouldn\'t ban this thread, because this thread is good for everyone.Mods, If you\'re reading this, please listen. This thread will reduce pony spam across all areas of the forum. Please do not ban this thread. You will see that the pony spam will decrease if you do not ban this thread. Please, mods.

foamyesque Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 You don\'t like ponies do you.No, he doesn\'t, but ease up on the 18pt font there, mince. Don\'t prove him right, especially if you think Skunky (or others) are just looking for an excuse.From where I sit, the only reason this thread will turn ugly is if we react badly to the people who show up to troll and the mods overreact to that. As long as e\'rybody stays cool, things\'ll be fine. I\'ve seen this work on other forums, in megathreads whose total post count approaches 10% of the entire KSP forum, and it\'ll work here.If someone asks 'Why do you like this', give a reasonable answer; if someone goes 'arghble blarghle ponies should be banned from everything'... well, ignore them. They\'re not even worth an image macro.EDIT:[Cpt. Skunky posts image macro]Could you try not to do the thing I\'ve seen you grousing about, Skunky? I\'m trying to make your job easier here.

Capt'n Skunky Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Ah foamy, at least my image is KSP oriented. ;PAnd I am not opposed to ponies or this thread. I am apposed to people that would troll the members of this forum be they bronies or not. Were someone to come into this thread and start harassing you guys, I would slap them down just as hard.While it\'s true I don\'t care for MLP, I\'m not going to judge someone else because they do. What I will judge is your behavior, brony or not.Cheers!Capt\'n SkunkyKSP Community Manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mincespy Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Well, this thread might as well be an experiment. Let\'s see if it reduces pony spam across all other threads, and if it does hooray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sordid Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 From where I sit, the only reason this thread will turn ugly is if we react badly to the people who show up to troll and the mods overreact to that.Pony megathreads I\'ve seen turn ugly on other forums typically did so because people started posting pony porn. And if that happens here, I\'m going to banhammer you lot myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
