Maybe there's a topic for this already, but IDGAF.

Personally I use /], because it resemblances a hoof more than /), however /) looks "cleaner" somehow. Also, most of the bronys I know use that :/

So, what do you use?

[Champion RD92]

I've actually never seen anyone use /]

I always use /)

[~LowfatEnvelope~]

The first time i saw that i saw a /| (bit different from /] but almost the same thing, which does makes sense as hooves are generally flat). Then i saw /) and now use it instead. I guess i just like the way it looks more. Maybe curves are generally more appealing to the eye than flat things (as flat is generally not very interesting) so that's why ponies use it. (Also if you look at a picture, the ponies hooves in the show do actually seem to be slightly curved. At least to me anyway).

I prefer /)*(\

[Speedy Transition]

as you can see from my fast drawing,

"/)" Is a much more iconic symbol, within the Brony community, and changing it, this late on, is pointless

[Apocalyptic Chaos]

I use /) !

[Fire_Fly]

The /] is new to me, too, but I can see how it does look a little more realistic... Although, I do like the more cartoonish look of /), and it's the one I've been using so far.

[Jalaton]

I prefer /) to /] cause /) just looks better to me.

[Kaborer]

Can't say that I've seen /], so naturally I use /).
I think it also looks more like the hooves in the show.

[Twiliscael]

Basically what everypony else said... /)

And this /)^3^(\ looks a hell of a lot better than this /]^3^[\

[Jokuc]

/) because it looks better

[Whiteshade]

/) because... ah screw it everything's been repeated ad nauseum already, it just looks more familiar

[DualEdge]

I personaly Use "/)" because it looks much beter than "/]"

[Titan Rising]

I prefer this

[bluetrace]

I'm gonna go against the norm and say /] is better

...I don't even remember the last time I did that, tbh

[Ezynell]

I prefer this

Also, I prefer /).

[Aureity]

As long as it's a brohoof, I'm fine.

[NASCARFAN160]

I go with /) because it actually looks like a DHX-style pony.

I mean, /] just looks like some robot pony thing. Plus, I rarely see that one used.

[Batbrony]

Honestly, I wasn't even aware that /) stood for brohoof until I saw this thread, but, I guess if it's been in use longer, then I'll stick with /).

[Fox]

/)

or

DIE!
