  1. Hey Zonra, I haven't seen you around in a long while. Just wanted to wish you a happy birthday! ^_^

  2. The obligatory official birthday announcement is on its way. Be sure you're following Canterlot Castle!

  3. I really need to plug into my school's Ethernet network more often: http://www.speedtest.net/result/2216830006.png

  4. How are you doing in Germany so far, Blue? I see you aren't totally cut off from the 'net?

      Germany is really a very charming country. Much of it looks like a carefully constructed model railroad set - only it's real. Glad you're enjoying yourself there so far!

       

      It's understandable that Internet time will be more limited for you than usual; but hey, I'm happy to know you won't be entirely gone until April.

       

      Be sure to try all the local sausage varieties! They're the national specialty.

      I feel sort of like how Lady Rarity Pony did, with the whole "Gonna hiatus for foreveLOLnope" because yes there are real life stresses and demands which implicitly have higher priority than the best pony forum on the little meatball called Earth, but inextricable from this forum is the fact that it's the best pony forum on the little meatball called Earth, with all its associated pleasures and friendships.

      Behind the fact that I could become addicted to ponies again, there ar...

      I really don't like how if the comment goes longer than (what is it, 1000 characters?) a certain length, it gets cut off and what lies behind the ... can never be viewed.

  5. One more notification? One more notification! Have a super-happy birthday, Inky! We're both 17 now.

      Wooh! *feldohuggu~~*

  6. Happy 19th birthday! You're really not that much older than me. :-)

      You and I are the young'ins of the Admin Tetrarch :P

      Thanks Feld0!

  7. MLP Forums has fallen under a DDoS attack. I've activated a line of defense against it, but please spare Scootacool - he is innocent.

      Yeah, not sure why this needed to be revived.

      The attack is long over... this really isn't relevant anymore.

  8. Made some repairs to the forum search and hooked it up with a different search engine. Searches should be a lot better now.

  9. Leaving Bulgaria for Germany now. Plane's about to take off. So long, mobile Internet!

      Ah, it's likely that Omnipony's plane will take route above my country, Czech Republic :3

      @Ethan pow : MAIN PONE IS GONE, POST ADMINS !

  10. You know, it's kinda sad that blazing fast fibre-optic Internet is the norm here in Bulgaria, while BC has a law that virtually prevents us from ever getting it.

      That really blows. >:C BC looks like an awesome place to live but I absolutely wouldn't be able to stand issues like that, traffic congestion (especially in Vancouver), and Harmonized Sales Tax. Ugh.

      There starting to roll out Fiber where I am but it will take a number of years for any benefit because it's only recently started. I am considering moving to the next suburb though as they are supposed to get it installed within the next year though :P

      Is there not something where you can buy network space from cell providers?

      Even if such a thing exists, I'm sure it would be exorbitantly expensive...

      That's some high quality stuff right there. Too bad I'm broke.

      Wow, that artwork is legit. I think my soul just wept at its beauty!

      A wild Feld0 appears! Fizzydog uses masterball!

  11. Pushed a new version of http://pony.fm/. Still not "finished" (sorry!), but there's enough here to scrap the old version entirely now.

  12. Begged an MTEL rep to sell me a prepaid SIM card after the store closed, tethered my phone to my laptop, and set up shop in the attic of my grandparents' cottage - the only place with 3G reception. Now I'm finally online.

      This is about as good as it gets: http://speedtest.net/result/2109135306.png

      But it drops to this if I leave the attic: http://speedtest.net/result/2108659677.png

       

      Yes, it was totally worth it. With that said, my Internet access is still quite limited and I have a rather small bandwidth allotment. This is all running through my cellphone, after all.

      Until March of last year I was still rocking a dial-up connection because I lived in the boonies. When I had enough of that I got a smartphone and tethered it. My paltry reception only allowed me half of a megabit, but approximately 512kbps > 49.2k, so I was happy. Now that I've moved to a proper town I have DSL and manage to accomplish in seconds what used to take me hours.

      Crappy internet, but better than nothing, I suppose.

      Feld0 you're doing it wrong. You need to remain neutral on everything now. For as long as you're in Zurich. ;)

      Say hello to the towns folk there for me, maybe it'll even reach a few of my relative there! ;3

  14. Hey, you still exist! It's been a while since I last saw you, Kodiak. :-)

      Kodiak

      Ha, thanks for the welcome back ;) I started to miss this place after a while. It's really grown to such an impressive website and community since my last visit.

  15. One of our older members, Hayze, used to have a neon avatar just like yours - but with Fluttershy rather than Dash.

      That's probably it then! Awesome! Is Hayze still around?

    3. Twilight Sparkle ✨

      Yeah, I still see him every now and then. Here's his account: http://mlpforums.com/user/387-hayzelestia/

      Actually I checked the gender and it's a female but she was on around the 10th of this month I think. That's when she last updated her profile at least.

  16. Hey Pix, are you ever gonna start taking pixel art requests/commissions again?

    1. Twilight Sparkle ✨

      Twilight Sparkle ✨

      Also, it's great to see you here again! =D

    2. Pix3M

      Pix3M

      Yes, I will. I want to remake avatars of the entire main six with techniques that I MAJORLY overlooked in the past (mainly anti-aliasing and using references), partially because I want to be more fluent with applying them before I offer commissions, and know very well about how much trouble it takes to create them so I could more easily decide what a fair price for my work should be. I am done with Rarity, Pinkie, and Twilight, almost done of AJ (gotta make multiple sizes of her) so all I got...

    3. Pix3M

      Pix3M

      Oh, and I'm also probably not gonna *publicly* offer requests considering the level of popularity I've garnered on dA. Requests can quickly pile up, and doesn't even help that there are a pretty good number of background ponies which gives me plenty of potential requests for people to make, haha.

  17. HP is sending an engineer to my house to repair one of my computers, on their tab. It sucks that the thing is having heat issues, but support like this makes you feel like a king.

      Dave247

      Oh, right, forgot about that...

      And yes jdor, it is the white sticky stuff between the CPU or GPU and the Heatsink. It's known by a few different names and helps to draw heat away from the processor.

      Here's the Wiki page about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_grease

      jdor11

      ya the heat sink, thats it, i took apart my computer becuase i had to put in a new motherboard and when i took the heat sink out the thermal gel was on it

  18. Hm. Started working with Laravel. So far, so awesome.

      Laravel has nothing to do with graphics. It's a framework that makes developing custom web applications easier. ;P

      So IPB does run on PHP and this is like a addon for it, framework to be exact. I really should start with those web programming tutorials...
