So now Gabe Newell and Notch have joined the herd. I wonder who will be next?
EDIT: Oh, looked back a page and I see somebody beat me to it. Ah well, mods you can delete this post if you want.

Anyway, I spent most of Sunday evening and yesterday making this. So that's why I wasn't here.
I'm actually kinda disappointed in the way it turned out...

A rallying call, eh? I'm all for it.
I'm glad someone managed to speak their mind about this issue we've had. It's been gnawing at me for weeks now, and judging from all the positive responses, it's clear that a lot of us have been thinking the same thing.
Let's pull ourselves together now, shall we? I'll help!

Good morning, people.
Yew, we do need a better term. This isn't a religion or a cult, or the Borg Collective. it's a fandom.
The thread started dying towards the end of the second one. A lot of us, the creative people Mazejaker was referring to, got sick and tired of how the thread had decayed into nothing more than a chat thread, flooded with low-quality posts. Posting for posting's sake. off-topic chatter. Spamming about fanfics. All the artists, discussion topics and meaningful posts were ignored, buried under floods of spam posts about anything and everything.
A lot of the people with the false delusion that the first thread, with it's constant NSFW discussion and posts was so great, suddenly started appearing to complain that the second thread was boring, just to vanish. And many MORE people seemed like they just wanted to start arguments.
There is no discussion anymore, I remember when the new episodes would spark DAYS of discussion and art and topics. Now, all new-episode-related posts consist of "Where was Derpy?" and "Did you catch the (whatever) reference?". With the latest episode, the presence of another gryphon in Equestria? A chocolate moose, which might hint that cervids are in fact canon? Doughnut Joe's spy tech in Pinkie's story? Ninjas? Katanas? A couple months ago, the thread would be buzzing over all this stuff. But now, the discussion of the new episodes fizzles out in a matter of hours, and it's back to spamminess and chatter.
Now, let's see here... Who from the old thread barely posts here anymore, or has never come back at all? Myself, tired of the lack of anything engaging going on. Sarolveldruk, another guy who really enjoyed participating in debates and having actual discussions. King Coco, tired of having his art posts ignored (I know that feel), faloxx, who completely gave up hope that this thread was worth saving and isn't planning to come back ever.
I KNOW I missed a few people. I just know it.
So we all just left.
But unlike those people who just showed up to say "this thread sucks", I have provided some of the reasons why. And if anyone is interested in saving this thread, it would be a good idea to think about some of the points I have made here, and try to get this thread back on track. And I'm willing to help, otherwise I wouldn't have posted at all.
The season is coming to a close. Try to make the best of the last couple episodes, and pray that this thread survives the time until Season 3.

Got some lineart done for a new drawing. I was gonna work on Drizzt, but decided to do this first, when I got the inspiration. It's a bit rougher than other linearts I post, and the scan is uneven because it takes up my whole sketchbook page, and the way my sketchbook is shaped, it lets in a bit of light. Anyways, I'll take care of all that in Photoshop.
I'll be going with a heavily stylized, dark, graphic novel look on this one. (No gore, don't worry.) I'm also unsure about including the Element of Magic crown on her head. Lemme know what you think!

I personally thought airing bronies' interests live on national Finnish television in such a way wouldn't help.

I would literally pay for something like this. Oh my god I'm imagining this now. I wish I could help, but I don't know crud about coding (hoping to learn soon though)

I "converted" (we need a better term for this), my friend. And he's on the MC forums.
Quote from mazejaker
It's just full of loads of creative people sharing all their great drawings, animations, music etc. I feel out of place. I am not good at anything... I havn't found my calling in life... I guess you could say I havn't yet earned my Cutie Mark XD
Quote from Flutterwry
So you now see why few old people still post here or even come around, and why most the others left. Returning from the pasts graveyard, isnt so simple as it has been seen. The thread is dying, it is how it is.

I myself haven't read Fallout: Equestria, actually... I was hoping to save it for when I have enough cash to buy the actual game.
Is it true that it's actually longer than a LotR book?
EDIT:
I've just been informed that a certain evil pony has dared to lay a hoof upon the daughter of Derpy Hooves.

Heh. I couldn't tell.
Have this.

(Not likely to take off at 3 AM in the morning on a Thursday, but eh why the hell not.)

Nice pic! Nice little speech to go with it too, I agree.
I had to do this:
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH A SLIGHT OBESSION.I need ideas on pony-related things to build in Minecraft within the next 4 hours. Any?

Not to mention that I have to go through my youtube favorites and download music and PMV's. That usually takes all weekend alone.
Now for pony.

So you animate a lot of pony-.gif's? That's epic!
Also, thanks for telling me about Imgur. I never knew about it until now, and it looks a lot better than photobucket so far.
EDIT:
If only it weren't overloaded right now.
Lol imgur crashed.EDIT: I feel like such a mean and cruel poni right now. The poor Imgur servers JUST got back up from there crash, and here I am uploading around 1,500 ponies.

Wow, thanks man! I was planning on looking one up, but I didn't expect someone to find one for me like that. Thanks! xD
EDIT: Weird. For some reason, I can't upload it to tinypic or photobucket to use as a sig.EDIT2: Post 1,450 :3
