  1. @Sommar, the people above are correct. Once upon a time it was possible when logging in, but once authentication through Poniverse began, that option was lost. I honestly don't know why that's no longer an option, whether it's too much trouble to implement now or simply because the tech guys don't care about that feature, but it can still be done and undone by an administrator.

     

     

    I'm not a hardass about it, so all anyone has to do is ask and I'll make the switch for them. Don't see a reason to make it any more complicated than that. Given the way you've phrased this question, I take it you would like to be invisible, so I've taken care of that. All you have to do is log out for the change to take effect.

  2. I think you're fortunate to be able to have this dreams. The last pony dream I had was over a month ago and I just saw a few of them in passing. And it was over a year before that since I had a pony dream, but at least in that one I was able to talk to a few of them for a minute. Intense or not, I'd simply like to have more. We don't even have to do anything exciting. Standing around and talking would be cool. Just be glad you get to have them so frequently. :P

  3. How I peel it depends on the ripeness of the banana. If it's closer to being under-ripe, like barely turning from green to yellow, then I'll go with side A. If it's been around for a while and it's too soft for that without destroying the banana itself, I'll go with side B. :catface:

  4. Did you hear the lamentations echoing throughout the fandom over the length of the hiatus following season 4? For some of us, myself included, it was unbearable! I don't want to go through that again. If inserting some gaps between episodes here and there can stretch the fresh pony content across the year so that season 5 runs into season 6, then I'm all for it.

     

    Another possible reason is that the episodes following these little breaks are really awesome and they want to build up suspense and anticipation for them so people enjoy them even more.

  5. Pinkie of all ponies should have questionable dental health since she never stops eating sugar and junk food. She must brush them 10 times per day. That or Colgate is doing good business.  :unsure:

     

    But yes, they do all have lovely teeth. I wish mine were half as nice.

  6. Localization differences are sometimes necessary due to language and cultural barriers. Both the Italian and Japanese teams have done fantastic work in adapting the opening to their respective countries. Personally, I think that each version possesses a unique charm, and that the English version perfectly captures the spirit of the show, delighting most children and bronies in the areas receiving that broadcast. Some disagree in this thread, and this wouldn't be the first time I've heard people say they prefer the intros other countries have or that ours is "cringeworthy." Contrarily, I know a lot of people feel as I do, and there's nothing quite like the experience of being in a massive auditorium of bronies at a convention while they sing the theme in unison when an episode plays, followed by jubilant cheering.

     

    Please, leave it be. I think it's perfect as it is. :squee:

  7. Moving this over to Sugarcube Corner since it pertains to the brony fandom.

     

     

    Only when used outside of a "brony environment" do I find it cringeworthy. On brony forums such as this it should be expected, same goes for conventions. It hasn't been common at meetups I've been to but people do say it every now and then. Just comes with the territory. Saying it to non-bronies or to other bronies when hanging out with non-bronies is a bit too much though. "A place for everything and everything in its place." No need to creep out strangers who don't even know what MLP is. Besides, it's rude to make references like that when addressing folks not in the know.

  8. I would walk to the nearest town in search of a bite to eat and somebody who could point me in the direction of Twilight. I've no doubt she'd help me make sense of what's going on, and she and her friends would certainly be the most hospitable ponies in all the land. :P

  9. Walk around on a hard floor, like laminate or wood. I want to hear my hooves clop clop clopping around. Then I'd prance a little ^_^
     

    Want to die because that would ruin my ability to ever play my instruments ever again. It would also ruin the ability to get on computers, phones, and do just about everything a person is expected to do. It would disable us horribly.


    Octavia gets by pretty well :huh:

  10. One day is unlikely to be enough for me to effect any significant changes, so I don't think I'd be too concerned with fulfilling all of the duties of a princess, nor would I try and change the status quo when it's obviously working and such changes typically take months or years to have an appreciable impact on society.

     

    If I was a princess — any of the princesses — for a day, all I think I would do is tour Equestria and learn how the common pony feels about the way things are being run. It would be educational for me and no doubt encouraging for them to speak directly with one of their princesses.

  11. To be honest, I'm more surprised that it took them this long to do it if they were going to do it at all. Rather late to the party. Regardless, it was refreshing to see that they, a giant in the smut industry, didn't denigrate the fandom with insults and accusations of being sexually repressed, something I've seen quite a bit over the years from ordinary trolls. Possibly not the best article I've read by a bewildered outsider come to see a freakshow, but refreshingly favorable. I respect what they've done.

    That guy in the blue shirt on the far right is Feld0. Thought some of you might find that amusing ;)

  12. I only discovered my bisexuality early last year. As the year progressed, I started exploring it more. Seemed awkward at first, but I'm glad I didn't block it out and pretend I didn't feel the way I did. Found an impressive number of supportive and like-minded people. As one who didn't realize this about himself until quite recently, and who feels it's a rather mundane detail in relation to everyday life, I've felt no need to "come out" to anyone. Even so, I'm at peace about it and glad to say I haven't had to endure any mistreatment. Sorry for all of you who have. Since coming to terms with this aspect of myself, I have to say I've been much happier, feeling like a void has been filled that I didn't know was empty.

  13. Yes, I'm an only child, something I've lamented for most of my life. As noted by several others here, that did mean more "peace" in the sense that the house was quieter and less crowded, but I found I didn't have much inner peace. Loneliness abounded, prompting a longing to explore, see the world, and meet new people. Not a bad thing by any means, but as a country boy who grew up in the middle of nowhere surrounded by almost nothing other than fields and woods for nearly 30 miles, with nobody to meet or hang out with with besides a few rednecks harboring distasteful stereotypes against non-heterosexuals, non-whites, and who possessed a patriotism bordering on fascism, this longing went totally unfulfilled until I was an adult. Fortunately I've always been very observant, and thanks to the constant conflict between my sensitive inner being and the callousness and prejudices of the cliché American south, I wasn't unprepared for the new social opportunities, nor was I naive to the ways of the world. I quickly adapted.

     

    All things considered, I would have preferred a sibling to learn from and to teach, regardless of which of us was the elder. Somebody to abate the pain of uninterrupted solitude and who might relate to me, unlike all of my other peers. Had I that sibling, however, I would have ended up a very different person, no doubt; something I'm not sure I'd want to happen seeing as I recently (as in the past several years) became quite comfortable and satisfied with who I am. My life would also have taken a very divergent path from this one, down which I may not have met such wonderful friends (and I daresay family) as I have now. People such as @~Chaotic Discord~, @Chigens and Kay, @Felix, @SCS, and some others whom I've met through this forum are all very dear to me, as much as any sibling ever could have been. The way I now see it, I traded one form of family for another by not having any brothers or sisters through my parents, and this family I've formed for myself I wouldn't trade for anything.

     

    It's been said that friends are the family that we choose for ourselves. To those of you other "only children" out there who may have had to endure or are now enduring a long, lonely childhood, perhaps with with parents such as mine who fought horribly, uncertain of yourself and what life might hold for you later: you have the power to change that. Maybe not immediately, maybe not for a long time, but it is within your ability.

  14. Hard to say. I'm much the same now as I've been for the past several years. Not necessarily stagnation if I'm already at a good place in my life, although I guess you could say that I "grew" when I came to realize my bisexuality and begin exploring it.
