Hey guys, haven't been around much (started working two jobs so i have less free time), but I thought I'd leave this here for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.
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...
You're kidding? I'd love to have the resources and talent to make something like that! -

Dawwww, Fluttershy is always good for a healthy dose of adorable. Plus rep for you. ^^
Anyway, it seems it is time for sleep. 2:40 am here and I have a full day tomorrow. Have a wonderful night/day, where ever you are. -

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!
I am happy to see others are realizing, how things are in this thread about. As to pulling back, the damage is great to say, repairing will not be easy by any means. Even pastmaster has not given brady, or anyone the thread "OP post to say" as promised. We cannot make polls, OP edit, nothing, thus no art contests or of that nature. No OP edits for news, updates, or interesting things.
Artists in this thread, have died out to say. I noticed many still do about to say. It was the art that made the previous and original thread what they were. As well the normal discussions on art, the show, and episodes. Music and fanfics where very rarely spoken of. Not trying to kill them, but the past is what the future should be to be successful.
Reforging is difficult now, but not impossible. Bring the old to the new, start over with old and do the same before.
Time to create old with new. Now is that time to say. As to how to start, that is not up to me. As well we still need access to the OP for making polls and edits to the OP. -

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.
It does sound a bit weird. Remember when that cider episode came along, and we soon got that amazing .gif to use for welcoming new fans to the show? We need something like that again, something that reflects the kindhearted nature of the show and the community without giving off that cult vibe.
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.

Quote from Nittles
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!
-snip-
This is looking very well done. I have a question for your next drawing concerning Drizzt: From previous examples of ponified drow, I see it is rather easy to add pointed ears and the hair colored accordingly. However, Drizzt almost constantly wears a set of armor that changes throughout his travels. Seeing as it is a significant part of his identity, what particular style of armor do you plan to ponify as well?

I personally thought airing bronies' interests live on national Finnish television in such a way wouldn't help.
Only a day or two ago, another of those 'Bronies react' videos was uploaded. While they seem a little slow to make more of them, it would be great if these were presented to the public as a means of informing them directly, without relying on corrupt media to do the job for us.

I just got into MLP. Just watched all episodes up to date in the past week. Oh my god. Feels so good
Welcome to the herd.
Do you see the paper that Pinkie is holding? This represents the clean slate in which we see you. Each action you take leaves its own mark, an identifying signature that will be used in regards to your personality and integrity, so long as there are those of us to remember and see you as such.
Though you might not realize it, this is a gift that many people would wish to be granted: To start anew amongst a welcoming and accepting community, and to be left without the strife of past mistakes.
Take care not to stain it. -

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)
Welcome to our little corner of the forums :>
Mandatory (but not really mandatory) questions:
Favorite pony? Why?
Favorite episode? Why?
Favorite quote? Why?
I expect a 5 page essay addressing each of these questions. (Not really, don't do that) -

I "converted" (we need a better term for this), my friend. And he's on the MC forums.

Me either.

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
Where are these "loads fo creative people" of which you speak? Aside from the really nice work from Heywood, Nittles and Impwarior (as well as a few others that appear from time to time, those 3 are just the most active now) it seems like the majority of the creative, interesting people have left. I'll elaborate on this later in my post.
Yes. And like most other memes, she is totally overexposed and overused.

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.

Here ya go (hope you brought popcorn):
Warning: Expect to jump out of your seat at a couple/few parts if your volume's too loud.
I was about 4 minutes in when Youtube decided it didn't like me today. I will finish that later. Anyway, those are some of the shortcomings of digital animation, and the types of things that occur regularly in cartoons. Only difference is, there are people withno livesthe time to devote to analyzing every single frame to spot these errors.
And so this isn't all doom, gloom and complaining, later this week I will have new art to share again.
That brief, shining moment of the thread's former greatness, when I introduced my OC Open Heart and people gave feedback on her backstory and actually took notice of some original art? Let's do that more often, for ALL the artists here. Make it worth their while to create and share art. -

SeaWry posted a message on What is overclocking?Laptop CPUs can run much hotter to say, however still not safe really. But they can tolerate heat better. Also many people never check nor care to check if their HSF for their laptop is exhausting good out the vents. I have seen laptops before that even at highest fan settings, if barely any exhaust is to be felt... Why I clean my laptops heat sink every so often, at most 3 months usage. Has been going strong for many years, and under brutal use to say "though I do not use it anymore".Posted in: Computer Science and Technology
I know the i5-2500k is tolorant on heat, learned that the hard way. It throttles down well and safeguards itself best it can. Reason, stock HSF before I got a 3rd party one did not install correct, yet all pins snapped in place, it still did not sit flush and thus the processor kept reaching its TJmax. It was like this for up to I say 1 hour.
Now it has a Hyper 101 on it, which is fine to say, and OCed to 4Ghz and idles at 25s to 30s, and no higher then 60s on load. No voltage increase needed.
Ok, to get down to this zone.
Laptop CPUs can normally handle up to 92C "no higher then 80C for safe" IIRC, while desktop CPUs SHOULD NOT go near or above 72C for safe zone. This is not entirely true, as it varies CPU to CPU, ark to ark, and no CPU is equal even if same brand, type, model, stepping.
Smaller the fab process, the less heat it can tolorate to say. -

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.
Diamond Tiara, while already holding #1 on my least-liked list, just made #-1.

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.

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
