Has Any Pony been to Any Convention?
NostalgicPony replied to Ethan Pow's topic in General Discussion
I've gone to mini-conventions before when with my parents when I was younger, but when I got older I decided to go do my own thing. So every year I go to an anime convention called Sakura-con and its a huge anime convention in Seattle. It's once a year. I've attempted to go to other anime conventions and Everfree Northwest, but I'm so busy around those times that I can't make it, but I hope next year I can do more conventions. Oh, and I've been to an Aboriginal Career Fair. -
Oh ok, just checking (There's quite a large BC Bronies base in Vancouver if you didn't know (you probably do). Well, ironically I'm leaving to Osoyoos on Wednesday for a few days so it wouldn't work out for me. Maybe in the future though.

Was it a meetup organized by the BC Bronies group or just some other group? That is awesome though!

Has Being a Brony Changed Your Life? How?
NostalgicPony replied to jacibobsthebrony's topic in Sugarcube Corner
Not really, or at least, not yet. I'm almost a year into this fandom and I don't feel different. But, this did inspire me to go to my first MLP-Panels at a convention I went to, it was really fun. The morals and points made in the show would have helped changed people, but not me. For some reason I feel like I follow most of those morals and maybe that's why I don't feel so different about myself. It's empowered me to only love and tolerate much more! -
Oh I never felt offended or anything. I was just saying that their a lot of groups of furries in the fandom.
-
I usually just say Furry and that's that. Unless I feel like making more categories, I then start to differentiate each furry and their artistic tastes and likes. Which can take quite a longgggggg time.
-
Awwww such a cute sketch! I really need to brush up on my art soon. Love how you titled it " Skootaloo pen sketch ".
-
I thought someone on this thread has already gone through with the whole fallacious idea of " furrism " unless your referring to something else you use as and use a substitute word in place of it.
-
Well, I couldn't say I was a mainstream furry but I was part of a group of furries known as " Poke'fur's " (Yes, there are such people) which, you probably know, are furries that see themselves as, well, Pokemon. Years ago when I was younger it was what I was and there was quite a large community of them. But I've been kinda unmotivated lately and my participation in roleplays and stuff went down as years past, so now I just like the art and the furries, that's pretty much it really. I'm still evolving I guess. (no pun intended)
-
Well, trust me on this one, MANY furries I know could careless of MLP and the fandom. It's just their tastes and that's completely fine. But I encourage you to see things from a different perspective. For example, look at me, I'm a furry a little bit and I don't compare the two. I'm sure many others here could agree. You just need to distinguish groups and pinpoint which ones do and which ones don't.
-
Then you were unfortunate to fall into the wrong crowd of people. As an active member of the biggest Furry communtiy forums FurAffinity I have yet to see a single journal post made by well known artist or just an ordniary member comparing Bronies to Furries. In fact, the only people I hear that compares them are the haters (especially some people on TF2 I have come across in games). And the admins and operators of the site made their point that Bronies and Furries have no connection what so ever, just two different fandoms.
-
Wow, that's quite a long time, but that's really neat to study in a country like that for that long. I guess it's not that bad then, I don't know then. it depends on where at and who's going (My parents are a bit overprotected about all this stuff).
-
Your leaving to Germany for good or just for school? I would love to go to a local meetup, but I live all the way out in the Fraser Valley and would be tough to get a ride in and our of that city.
-
Furries are, in short, people who see themselves as Anthromorphic Animals (or equivalents to other animal like bodies), they see themselves with the same attributes as an animal in the wild. That is why most have their own fursona (much like we have a ponysona) to represent their self in an animal like way. There are many different type of furries though. http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Furry

It never bothered me one bit, just like many other groups of people. It seems interesting though that people were into ponies though. -
Welcome to the forum! You came to the right place to talk ponies. Hope you enjoy wondering around this magical forum of ponies and fun. ~

Anyone else going to Everfree NW?
NostalgicPony replied to NostalgicPony's topic in Sugarcube Corner
Lucky you! I'll try to see if I can go, seeing that they are saying that they still have a whole bunch left. -
Can anyone tell me how much these pokemon card are worth?
NostalgicPony replied to Matus's topic in General Discussion
Again, it depends on your market. I would suggest ebay, you could maybe sell your cards as lots and people may buy them. But your best bet is to find card shops that have a strong Pokemon player/collectors base or you know someone that would really like them. -
I don't know if there is a per-existing topic like this, but if so then please close or merge it, however the mods feel. Anyways, who else here has registered for Everfree and is going? Seeing that it's pretty much almost here and they are doing a last minute registration for anypony that wants to go, but it seems to be selling really fast and it would be a miracle for anyone to get a ticket now. I would go, since I live only 2-3 hours away from Seattle [and I have family there to stay with] but we got plans on that weekend. The feeling hurts. Always next year though! But when I went to Sakura-con I got to meet some of the Everfree staff that were advertising the convention back in April and I got some Everfree swag because it's pony and cheap. I missed my opportunity to pre-reg then too. But again, plans.
