  1. Dash comes off as an interesting candidate. She's stubborn, headstrong and loyal. While those make her a terrific friend, it could also make her a pain in the ass to take back to the 'good' side if she took sympathy for a 'bad' guy. If there was ever a villain who played wounded deer well enough with Dash, probing her buttons and what she sympathizes with the most, it could prove a huge problem. Dash would begin to seriously question whether or not they were evil, and if she and the other Mane Six were the ones that needed to back off. Similar to Fluttershy with Discord. We saw what Dash's hot headed behavior was when accusing a villain; what it be like if she was accusing her friends of harassing a clever villain, hiding his true nature?
  2. Text could be clearer, and the image overall is a tad blurry. Other than that though the text is a funny reference and its a good image. 7.5/10
  3. What do we know about Discord? He's obscenely powerful (possibly the most potent being in the show thus far), capable of warping reality itself, and all sorts of other magic. He's very old, most likely immortal. He's been referred to as a 'Spirit', 'of Chaos and Disharmony'. It's my personal head canon that Discord is the embodiment of chaos, and is thus not only a primordial being that's been around since the near start of time, but whom also represents a fundamental law of nature, and cannot be destroyed. I've mentioned this head canon all over the place, and it's certainly nothing new. However, branching off of that head canon, I can only find fascination in other possible spirits or beings that play a key role in the nature of Equestria, the world its' in, and the universe of MLP:FiM as a whole. Here, you may post ideas you may have regarding beings or deities or other spirits you picture in the world of ponies. Note: I'm also going to list Discord, to make the list feel more complete, and to give people a contrast reference point. At this point, other than Discord I only have one idea that I've flushed out in full, but I have other ideas in the process of being thought out, of which any of you are welcome to contemplate and post about in your own ideas as well: Death/Endings Life/Beginnings Magic (Source of power for all magic in the universe?) Destiny (Maybe it's a spirit or divine entity/magical presence that gives fillies' their cutie marks.) -- Discord Ageless Primordial Being Embodiment/'Spirit' of Chaos One of the oldest creatures in existence, Discord is the physical manifestation of chaos, something many believe to be one of the driving forces in the original creation of the universe, and perhaps, even predating the universe itself. All other beings in nature know that he's a very big player, bringing much to the table in way of influence of what he can do to reality if he so wishes. Thusly, many outright avoid him or even fear him for both his power and humor, both of which hinder other creatures. After all, most beings, even evil beings, don't care for absolute chaos and nonsense. While in modern times Discord has learned the value of friendship, and in a broader sense the emotional connections one makes with others, he is still nevertheless a powerful being and a prankster. Seasonal Quadruplets: Harvest, Hibernal, Heartfelt & Heatwave Many thousands of years old Manifestations of Nature Spirits of the Four Seasons As societies of creatures first began to develop and shape the world into what it is known as today, many spirits and other powerful beings were born into existence, to aid in the guidance of the world. The four sisters of the seasons, Harvest (Autumn), Hibernal (Winter), Heartfelt (Spring) and Heatwave (Summer) were the original keepers of the seasons of the world, and to a large extent, its' weather patterns as a whole. Hibernal and Heatwave kept their seasons longer than their younger sisters, as they were both competitive and stubborn. When Discord took over the region that would be later known as Equestria, the sisters were forced to flee; their relatively peaceful weather-based powers were no match for his reality-warping abilities. When peace and order was restored to Equestria by Celestia and her sister Luna later on, they sought out the four sisters and persuaded them to return. However, as centuries went by, Equestria's localized flying species, the pegasi, took over the weather pattern responsibilities, and thus, the control of the seasons. While the Seasonal Sisters continue their work in many places across the globe, Equestria is no longer one of them due to this reason. -- I'll add to my list as time goes on
  4. Before Feldeity created Member, he created the CA's; the ultimate up-keepers of order in his kingdom. As Feldeity created lower and lower classes of celestial beings, the CA's watched over and worked with their brothers and sisters to maintain paradise, for eons. All was well between the four brothers, with understanding and cooperation being held in high regard by all. However, when Feldeity created Member, Drama spawned from Members' imperfect nature and spread like an uncontrollable wildfire. Feldeity commanded the CA's to guide the members, smiting the Drama created from them and keeping peace not only in Paradise, but in the Forums as well. Zoopchael, eldest of the CA's, followed heed with this order, while others, such as Lucicord, rebelled. Why should they have to deal with members' bullshit? Lucicord rebelled against the order, confronting both Feldeity and Zoopchael about these 'lame' commands, and finding the Drama to be amusing. He was only met with scorn. When Lucicord rebelled, Zoopchael struck him down to the lowest levels of the Forum Lounge, where all rowdy, Drama-inducing Members went to mingle with one another. Rapheamity maintained his stern position as a guide to the members, while Gabrieoon left Paradise of his own free will, bored of the Drama, and causing harmless mischief of his own down upon the Forums. "With this hammer, I smite thee Draconequus brother of mine."~Zoopchael "*Intimidating stare*"~Rapheamity "I'm not rebellious, I just like playing Devil's Advocate. Hurr, C wat I did thar."~Lucicord "I got bored. So I became a troll."~Gabrieoon Also, I represent Lucifer perfectly. I fell from the grace of MLP:FiM and have descended into the pits of the Forum Lounge. Sadface.

  6. Creative theory, but no. By the looks, the Changelings are a completely organic race that seek to rule over -other- species. The Borg are mostly just a gigantic hive mother-brain of robotic creatures that want to convert all other species. The Borg are like a virus. They're neutral, not living or dead, and their prime objective is to simply multiply and take over everything around them as the new host. The Changelings are like bacteria. They're living, seek to destroy and take over things around them, but their focus is just ruling as the dominant species, not ruling as the -only- uniform, 'perfect' species.
  7. Hah, nice avatar Welcome to the board :3 I hope you continue to enjoy your stay and have a great time.
  8. Not going to attempt to come up with a minor wall of text on the 'why', I believe numerous of the posts in here have explained that fairly well. What I will add is that there are alternatives that people can use, knowing that the staff are not interested in pursuing chat-esque features again: >The GCT is frankly not that different, it's super active and nearly real time just like a chat. It's definitely moderated upon regularly. It's a topic, so chat-addicts are expected to feel awkward, but if you give it a chance you should grow accustomed just fine. At its' base, it's the same thing. >As we've seen already from some people, if anyone wants to make a Skype group for members and friends that's fine. As long as you don't affiliate the group with the forum in any way, or overtly try and advertise it all over the place, that's not something we can or would try to control. Not related to us, not our jurisdiction (or our problem </3) I don't endorse or not endorse either of these, myself, but more or less putting a bold face on them, since these are really out in the open as options already. I personally hate chats, in general. The only Skype groups I use are the staff group chats, and those are all intelligent people of whom I already talk to on a regular basis.
  9. It took the better chunk of an entire year to get from Season 2 to 3, and there wasn't an inherent cliffhanger like we've gotten with S3. I seriously, seriously doubt that Season 4 will be out until late this year.
  10. Why do I get the feeling very few people are going to get the true humor here :c
  11. Wasn't there this time, but that looks really fantastic <3 Love the smoke and light effects, fits her very well I think. Great job
  12. Welcome to the board I hope you enjoy your stay and have a great time <3
  13. + Nice blurring effects and BG + - Fairly fitting border, but slightly big for my taste + Good vector Grade: B-
  14. Beats the hell out of me why Twilicorn forum hasn't had a description until now. Fixed.

  15. Holy shit your style is cute :| Never have I wanted to hug Feld0 until he explodes, so much. He's so confident and got that 'Mai Empire shall spread across teh internetz :D' look in his eyes. But yeah. Very good job :3 9/10
  16. http://youtu.be/xNr8-Q1f-xk Oh, Death, оh Death, oh Death, Won't you spare me over til another year But what is this, that I cant see with ice cold hands taking hold of me When God is gone and the Devil takes hold, who will have mercy on your soul Oh, Death, оh Death, oh Death, Oh, Death, оh Death, my name is Death and the end is here... I know this might seem a tad sudden to some people; numerous of the forums' features being trimmed off at once. That said though, if you look at each of these cases one by one, it isn't hard to see that they're more or less dead branches hanging from the forums' tree, and have been in that state for a while now. Pony Bulletin got its' own Feldian feedback topic asking for everyone's thoughts on whether or not the news feed board run by Mailmare had much of an impact on them and their user experience. Before-hand, the staff was already leaning towards potentially scrapping the forum for now, due its' lack of usage and underwhelming presence on the forum as a whole. The feedback topic in question then showed that, for the most part, nobody really cared about it and if it went or stayed. The forum has little to no reply ratio, the views aren't jaw-dropping, and thus, all it's really doing is plugging an entire board feed for advertising EQD. All of the 'popular' events and media produced within the fandom are typically posted in new or old topics by members in Sugarcube anyway, so thus, the staff's logic has been that the Pony Bulletin board isn't worth its' space due to its' under-usage. The TF2 and Minecraft Servers have been a dead project for months upon months. Almost all of the staff running it have lost the time or interest in maintaining the games, as many no longer play them, themselves. Not a whole lot of members have ever invested much time in making the servers more than worth their while, either. The staff have speculated that a game server project would probably be more successful if it were its' own entity, out on its' own branch of a site, and not tethered to the forum itself as a subforum system. Much like Pony Bulletin, the subforums and server projects are not worth having at this point; with months of stagnant inactivity and no interest among anyone to revive them, we've decided to remove them. Last but not least, the MLP Forums Skype Group has been around for a while. Unfortunately, as time has passed, the staff have realized that it's been the on-site chat, all over again, just off-site, with less mods to watch it. The group constantly has issues, reports and other things going on that we've heard about on a regular basis. When we look at things like the GCT, having a crowded, off-site group that shows the same exact issue the original chat did is a losing battle. All we're attempting to say is that all of these things have been low-tier parts of the site, of which we have no reason to continue maintaining due to factors like inactivity, lack of interest and lack of manageability ease. Does this mean we're going to start going on a rampage and begin blowing things up with metaphorical TNT? Of course not, these have been wilting petals, dead branches on the forums' tree for months, and only now are we doing some Spring time hedge trimming all in one fell swoop. We've tried our best to think of ways to implement some of these differently so that they can be kept and refreshed, but we've all come to the understanding that these things are dead and need to be buried for the time being. Things such as the game servers and perhaps a new pony news feed similar to that of what Mailmare has done for us for so long being implemented sometime in the future may be a possibility, but at the moment, it's time to sort our factors, remove what isn't working, and focus on what we can add from here. If anything, with these few projects knocked off, there's that much more for the collective staff to focus on what we have going on elsewhere. Everyone can delight in knowing that you'll definitely be seeing new things being implemented down the line. I know of a few of them off the top of my head. Some of them aren't all too far off. -- Oh, yeah, and woo for future character minimum system edits and such :3 Only one example of one of the more minor things being worked on in Scoots' crazy back workshop.
  17. Y U snoop my DA bro, Y U post these things fur evey1 to c :U Broseph this is so old liek two years, wat are u doin.

I shall now be oppressing your topic and your freedom sternly and swiftly. >:U -- Edit: Hello, time traveler! I updated my pictures. They're not crap, now.
