Season 4 Wishlist: My Top 5 "Yay" & "Nay"

Author's Note: If you want to see my older, yet complete wishlist, head here.   In response to posted on Equestria Daily, I might as well do one, too, in text format.      My Top Five "Yay" The Twilicorn shows genuine development physically, emotionally, and psychologically. Magical Mystery Cure didn't handle the Twilicorn well at all, and you're lying to yourself if you think they did. At the same time, despite her poor execution, it's still doable. Here's what I wrote on both h

An Idea: Create a Logo Contest for FIM Characters, FIM Places/Events, and Brony-Related Conventions

Feld0's Poniverse Logo Contest seems to be going well. Some people have submitted logo concepts already, and I hope to see the results once done. (It ends on the 14th, so submit them quickly!) Once the final drafts are published, expect me to write a review for the official logo and the finalists similar to the one I wrote for the MLP Forums logo at the beginning of the year.   Several months ago, via e-mail, I suggested to Equestria Daily a logo contest for the Friendship Is Magic characters

Make the navigation buttons available for banner designers

Just like the brony fandom itself, the MLP Forums is full of so many creative bronies who are willing to lay out their interest to contribute artistically to the community, however polished or messy it can be. One of these areas, though, that needs catching up is graphic designing, which deals with more than laying out a drawing. It's displaying and visually selling your work in the form of conservation, hierarchy, color, typography, etc. Like the background of both the MLP Forums and now Pony.f

Banner Reviews: A Reminder

This morning, I submitted my first unsolicited review for a published MLP Forums banner. This series is officially titled, "Banner Reviews" and are located in my main blog, "Dark Qiviut's Columns" under the "Banner Reviews" folder. Every week, I'll post a review for the new banner that is published by the administration and comment on its strengths, weaknesses, and suggestions to make it work better. The next one won't be published until the next one is uploaded by the technical administrators.

MLP Forums Banner Reviews: Standard Protocol

Last night, I posted a question about whether I should review the MLP Forums banners featured atop of the message board. Nine clicked on the poll, and three people legitimately answered why in the comments.   That is more than enough to sway my decision: I will review each weekly banner.   Compared to my other reviews (my most common being a list format for episodes and season overviews), this one will follow a different format. The review will be divided to standardized sections, whose purp

Should I review each MLP Forums banner (from today onwards)?

Weekly banners are submitted to this Website, and the one most popular by staff is featured atop of the message board regardless of the location and time. Sometimes, they're uploaded on time, but sometimes they're tardy (like today ).   Throughout the status updates, people like myself comment on these banners with short comments and micro-reviews. They are either praised, snubbed, or looking at them critically (a.k.a., analytically).   What I want to do is something we haven't seen yet, bu

Is a Railfan/Busfan Brony (Woodlawn & Riverdale - 9/19/2012 & 9/24/2012)

Long before I was a brony, I was and still is railfanner and busfanner. Typically, people travel because they had to. As a busfanner and railfanner, I travel just for the fun of it and will occasionally shoot pictures or videos of the occasion. Occasionally, I post videos of my trips on my YouTube account and will post pictures in one of my main forums, the NYC Transit Forums, under the handle RTS CNG Command.   Two of these examples are Woodlawn and Riverdale, New York City railroad stations
