Some of you can’t get to a convention and miss out of many of the festivities, including guests of honor autographs. This year, as this will be my fifth Pony Convention, I’m willing to stand in line to pick up an autograph for you. They usually cost $10 each and come with a postcard with art done by a fandom artist. I can also make a few passes though vendor hall if you would prefer to have a signature done on a print of the character. I’ll post more details on how this will work, but the TL:DR or it is … you confirm that you want an auto and the day of the signing you send the funds via PayPal or Venmo (I prefer PayPal but not everyone has that). I get the auto and send you a pic. When I get home I’ll have it shipped out to you (you will have to cover postage too but for media mail it is usually cheap). Alternatively, you could conceivably send me something you want signed specifically, but it has to be planned out in advance as I need to have the item before I leave … and it has to be small enough to pack. I am not making any profit on this just to be clear. I just wanted to offer the community an opportunity to get something signed because travel and lodging isn’t cheap. Again most autographs are $10 but some have been $15. I’ll post more when I know more. And while this has been cleared this isn’t an official Poniverse or MLPF event. It’s just me trying to do a solid.

I love this topic. I have a love affair with shoes. I have more shoes than my wives have had at any given time. I wear several brands but my go to brand is Dr. Martens (I’m not going to bore you all with all the styles I buy). I have worn them since the mid 90’s. Comfortable, rugged, and stylish. Converse come next and generally fit with most of my casual wear. I wear a few different styles and colors. I do have a pair of Nike running shoes as well as a pair of Brooks Ghost. I’m already aware of the most successful shoe company, both in online and store sales, second hand purchases, as well as collectable market, and customs. Hint, it’s the second largest apparel company in the world.

I’ve seen an increase in users reporting that posts are off-topic. I want to clarify something regarding OT posts. https://mlpforums.com/guidelines/ That is the current Global Guidelines link. While it mentions pointless posts, it does not forbid off topic posts. It used to say that off-topic posts were subject to moderation. It was removed because one or two off-topic posts are not particularly harmful to the community and we didn’t want to seem too heavy handed. Obviously Debate Pit requires on topic posting, and for clarity reasons I also tend to try and keep Feedback and Site Questions focused as well. Besides that enforcement of a “Stay on Topic” rule was effectively a killjoy. As long as the topic doesn’t veer completely off course and become hijacked, a simple aside and response are completely fine and won’t be moderated. If a topic becomes something new, staff should be splitting it off into its own new topic anyway.

All I know is since I use Atlassian products at work, Vivaldi has been a no go for a while. One of them is allergic to the other! Much RAM very break!!! Note to all is that I’m going to mark this as answered because it’s been reported quite a few times that the Invision Community’s implementation of CKEditor does not like Vivaldi which is exactly what’s happening here. @Props ValRoa for your edification since you aren’t a developer, the software for the forum basically licenses a editor made by another company and modified it for use with Invision. Whatever they did makes it buggy on the more enthusiast focused browsers like Vivaldi, which I agree is a shame. To be a little fair to them, in my company we never run testing on Vivaldi either. We build for internal stakeholders (clients) and none of them can use that browser on company hardware anyway.

Just going to drop this here …. You all probably know what I’m going to be doing at the con.

BABSCON 2023 IS UP, UP, AND AWAY WITH THOM ZAHLER! Published on Mar 3, 2023 We’re lighting the fuse on another blast from the G4 My Little Pony comics past by bringing you, for the very first time at BABSCon, the superpowered Thom Zahler!

He created the Harvey and Ringo award-nominated Love and Capes (recently with new volumes “Home for the Holidays" and "In the Time of Covid"), Cupid's Arrows, Warning Label, Long Distance, and the time-traveling wine comic Time and Vine. He’s also written for Disney XD's Ultimate Spider-Man and Knights of the Zodiac. Follow Thom on Twitter, Instagram & Facebook!

So this was created and was allowed to be here do to the lack of Debate Pit at the time. We have a debate section, however the general opinions in here may not exactly fit within the push to raise the bar of civil debate. With that in mind, I’m going to close this topic. I would suggest for those that have access to Debate Pit, that a new Trump topic be created, but if you do so be somewhat specific and less general because this is like thousands of little topics in one. It makes for a bad discussion point for savvy debates.

I wonder if my ceiling fans are set to rotate in the correct direction? Hm. Do I know what the correct direction is? Is it summer clockwise? I mean it’s not summer but it’s Florida in March so that’s summer enough. I wonder what the change in temperature really is? Is it measurable? Man, I want the job of the person who decided that ceiling fan direction should be measured to find the optimal seasonal comfort.

Oh wow. How a collection can grow. Those boxes multiplied. There are like 9 now and minus the non US released Yakface … I have the complete collection and am in the process of grading them. I’ll have to update it tomorrow with a tour or something .

Yes. An Ithorian who was exiled after giving the Empire agricultural secrets, he became a rebellion sympathizer.

@Splashee I increased the cap to 400 so that should work for now. Let me know if you can send a new request out

There is a cap set for 300 friends. You have 15 pages and it’s set to display 20 per page, so I assume you reached the cap. I’ve never tested increasing the default cap limit, but I’ll play with that later tonight.

I’m excited, hyped, and feeling accomplished. Planning a pony con trip to SF where I am going to spend time with @Troblems and @Ashen Pathfinder. My grandkid is due in May and the pregnancy is doing great. I’m going on a cruise with the wife in June. And I’m helping with my kids wedding in August. I feel amazing and full of energy. Also I just received a Topps card from 1952 and it made me smile from ear to ear. So that was cool too.

At the risk of starting something, Hogwarts Legacy. I’m still grinding for the platinum, but I finished it last week.

I wrote a full 82,000 word manuscript about eleven years ago with many revisions just to actually say I could complete a novel. It was saved on one of 30 different drives I have. Unfortunately, after years of searching I still haven'd found it.

Montana. The best State.
