Swoop

Hey Junbotic,
 
It looks as though your friend request was still pending on PinkiePieJr's end. I've gone ahead and manually approved the request on their behalf. Your friends list should be updated accordingly.

 

Damn, I haven't heard Tat's Who Is Calling in years. Tatanka sure loves his aliases.

With the events of BronyCon now drawing to a close, the BronyCon Supporters badge have been removed, and each supporting member has been returned to their original user group. Sorry fellas, no more pink text.
 
A big thanks to everyone who contributed to our BronyCon appeal. I need not mention the impact you have had on the development of MLP Forums and Poniverse; the results well and truly speak from themselves. While the convention may be over, the Poniverse team continues to kick on.
 
Let's see how far we can go.

 A brohoofs caption works for me!

A fair point. The default reputation ranks have remained the same since this forum began, and we don't have any plans on utilising the feature in the near future. I've gone and removed the ranks from the reputation bar. Look any cleaner?

There are a few reasons why we refrain from deleting member accounts:

• Deleting an account would entail the removal of the member's topics, posts and blog entries. An action that could likely leave large gaps in the flow of conversations, or if the member happens to be the OP of a topic, potentially remove an entire thread.

• Generally, those who wish to have their accounts deleted, are the ones who end up returning at a later date. While this is not always the case, we've had members mark their return the the forums after weeks, months, or even over a year of absence. It's much simpler for us to leave inactive accounts intact, than it is for us to encounter a member who wishes to return after having their entire history here wiped.

• Most users wish to have their accounts deleted due to privacy concerns. Given that members are capable of changing all the information listed on their profile, in addition to their display name and log-in information, we are of the opinion that members are able to sufficiently cover their tracks if need be. It's also worth noting that we're often happy to oblige if a member wishes to have a specific post or thread of theirs removed due to personal matters (within reason of course).

• From an administrative perspective, it's of benefit for us to take a conservative approach to removing member content – you never know what information may be of use when dealing with issues in the future. 

I hope this clears things up for you.

Heya Kroire,
 
After speaking with you in a status update moments ago, I noticed you were new to the forums, so I figured I'd come and give you a proper welcome. As I'm sure you're aware, we're a pretty affable bunch around here. Even if you are new to a forum environment, I'm sure you'll fit in nicely. 

See you around!

Goodness, it's moving so slowly. I would probably fail on that song. No joke, I need it to be on x3.0 speed, or else I just get dizzy from how clumped together the arrows get.

x3? Phew, a bit too fast for my taste. I'd tinker in the settings and set it up to maybe x1.5 or x2, but anything above and my reaction times take a nasty blow.

 

And wait, that's you in the video or no? o:

 

Hah, I wish that was me! I couldn't manage anything better than a C on it, and more often than not I'd lose it at the 0:55 mark. I'm definitely not what you'd call a skilled player, but I enjoyed playing nonetheless!

Ngh, Powerpill anyone?
 

 
One of the few games I used to play on my old laptop. Quite fun to waste time on every now and again, despite the inevitable hand cramps it caused me from some rather unnatural finger movements. Never managed to obtain a rating greater than AA for more difficult songs, though for the most part, I was satisfied with a mere pass.

Stop lurking.

 

Join us.

Maybe! Gotta finish work n' stuff first, though.  

 

Also, I've no idea the artist. I found that on /mlp/ some time ago and I'm not home so I can't reverse search it. Sozzy. :/

No worries, I'll hunt it down myself eventually.

 

The awkward moment when Megamare is a male and Swoop is female.

Never happened. You're seeing things. 

Wild SWOOP appeared!

What will TRAINER do?

 

 

I don't think I'll ever fit in here.

 

Sure you do. Take it from someone who's lurked this thread for a mind-numbingly long period of time; the idea of being socially compatible doesn't apply to the GCT. Everything is appreciated by someone, somewhere, to some extent. Besides, if you're feeling particularly inept, just go with the default and post cats.

 

New mousepad get.

 

Well colour me jealous. Any change of a source on that artwork?

Tederetederedeeeeeet, de voorstelling gaat beginnen.

 

Itunes is getting close to the pre-fusion days.

Hey, another Aussie, and a Melburnian no less. It's nice to see a member from my neck of the woods. 
 
Welcome to our little corner of the web. I hope you find your time here to be as enjoyable and engaging as I have. Hope to see you around.

Hey Plumberry,

 

It appears that you had the "Ignore all signatures when reading topics and personal messages" box checked under your ignore settings. I've unchecked it for you, so you should be able to view signatures of other members now.

Historyyy.

 

Heya folks, remember that time when I said I'd be making a return by early 2013?

 

Me neither.

 

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Swoop, an old forum goer and other half of the staff Oop duo. In September 2012, I was forced to indefinitely step down from my position as a community administrator due to some unexpected financial complications. After six months of running around, patching up monetary holes, I'm delighted to say that I am finally in a position to take up my place on the staff team once more, and continue lending a helping hand around the forums.

 

To say that I've missed being able to actively contribute here would be an understatement; I'm looking forward to making up for all my months of absence.

 

It's good to be back.

Currently sifting though the VIP.swf playlist. Worth a look over if you have a moment or two to spare.

Mm, Winnie the Pooh: My Hero, anyone?
 
While I can't say the whole 'forever indebted' scenario was particularly original, on the whole, the episode came off as relatively enjoyable, with quirky character behaviour and animation (the scene with the Timberwolf choking and motioning "hold on a sec" while he hits his chest gave me a good chuckle) compensating for a rather pat and contrived plot. Admittedly, I'm a little iffy on the new three dimensional effects implemented for the Timberwolves, though that may just be the conservative side of me lashing out at the first sign of change. It should be interesting to see whether the use of 3D characters and settings are used further down the track.
 

 

Queueing a few childhood feels.
