  1. Someone came up with the theory that Twilight would outlive her friends, her being an alicorn now. But I don't really know, I like to think they all have some sort of gene that keeps them alive forever ;_; Or maybe they just don't age.

    My latest status is a fic related to this. Worth a read, just be prepared for a feel trip

  2. Yes, the forums currently have DDoS mitigation on a scale more than enough to withstand such attacks. If different attack vectors come up, we'll deal with that when we can. Point is a little downtime won't hurt anybody too much on the off chance it occurs :)

  3. There are plot holes and mistakes everywhere I'm afraid.

    In Cutie Mark Crusaders, Derpy looked exactly the same when Twilight was just a filly. :/

    Derpy may just be older than the mane 6, ponies don't seem to go into a middle age, they seem to age like Asian women

  4. We all know Celestia and Luna are well over a thousand years old, its been established time and time again. But just how old does your average, run of the mill pony get? It seems that ponies age much more slowly than you'd expect, considering the following:

     

    Granny Smith has been around since the founding of Ponyville. Now, Its also never been established just how old Ponyville is, but considering the Apples have had time to colonize pretty much the entirety of Equestria, it would seem to be longer than an adult lifetime of ~60 years. 

     

    Again, using the Apple family as an example, the Apple Family Reunion happens approximately once every 8.5 years (over 100 "moons" or months.) This puts a definite separation between the awakening of the Elements of Harmony (Applejack mentions in Applebuck Season that all of the Apples were in town for the reunion when Twilight met them) and the next Apple Family Reunion (in Season 3) of over 8 years. Applebloom in that time still has not gotten her Cutie Mark and has not grown perceptibly. 

     

    Thoughts? Any other examples of weirdly aging ponies?

  5. I can't wait till the feds come knocking up on that poor child's door, and when he pisses his pants and says "BUT IT WUZNT MEEEEEEEE WY U DO DISS COPPPPSSSS" and saying he's sorry, he'll never do it again, and when cops sentence him for a good 10 years of prison.

    To be 100% fair if it was a botted attack they probably won't track him down by IP. Twitter MAY release his info but if he's smart he's behind proxy/tor

  6. I've always found if I can read pinkie and don't have to gasp for air at each punctuation, she's been underdone. 

     

    I mean for example if you can read this without stopping and you can still BREATHE at the end you haven't even come close to finishing pinkies style like for real whats the fun in stopping when you can HEAR YOURSELF TALK ALL THE TIME!

  7. The attack was a cheap DDoS made with a 3rd part program, I highly doubt that the data is gone. Even if it is, I have a .txt copy of my 3000 word story anyways. You should do that too, writing stories on a notepad file before putting it in FF.

     

    I don't think it was actually confirmed LOIC, that was just all throughout the comments. HOWEVER, I 100% agree with you and I have the one terrible greentext story I wrote in my iPhone notes.
