RarityFan01 2,444 April 16, 2015 Share April 16, 2015 I should just write two chapters for Partners in Crime. It's a fanfiction I'm working on. Then I'll start my Applejack one. Perhaps with events of cupcakes where Applejack interrogates Pinkie Pie? That would have to make it longer because the Cakes are the ones who tell Pinkie to kill the others. Or maybe the Flim Flam brothers. Or whatever. As long as Applejack interrogates someone. I'd prefer one of her friends or family where they are guilty do she will have to persecute? one of her friends.

yisetab28 89 April 16, 2015 Share April 16, 2015 Why would that kek sect even do that? If they wanted the world to know they're mindless SJWs who take down anything they do not like then you have my official Québec "Bravo". Bravo for taking down a site of perfectly fine writers who just want to share their creations to others. Why not take down Stormfront or the WBC website if you wanted to stop degeneracy? Also, Bravo for showing us you can't even hack by using LOIC to do your stuff instead of you know, doing it yourself with your own computer knowledge? 2 DRAW PONIES AND WRITE FANFICS FOR MOTHERLAND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOWEVER, I 100% agree with you and I have the one terrible greentext story I wrote in my iPhone notes. Considering the level of close-mindedness of the guy who claimed the hack, his ignorance of anything (even basic stuff) related to bronies and his level of stupidity which let him publicly claim that he has taken down a website by DDoS and expose himself to all the people who wrote stories on the website, 4chan and all the other raging bronies, I think he probably used LOIC. And the only thing he's right about is this: "After taking down #FimFiction http://www.fimfiction.net/ I guess the #WarOnBronies has started again." -Keksec Oh yes it is you little fucker, preapre for the biggest shitstorm of angry bronies that no one will ever see.

Troubleshoes Clyde 107 April 16, 2015 Share April 16, 2015 (edited) FimFiction being down because some guy didn't like bronies is sad. Hopefully, it will be the only one. If a site like Equestria Daily which is pretty much the place all fans of mlp go to check what's going on goes down, things would be much worse. Or this one. The last time Fim was down for maintenance, I was much more reliant on it for my daily fiction fix. I think I may have suffered from withdrawal like symptoms. Well, I was sad all day until it was back at like 6:00am the next morning. At least I'm reading a decent-for-WattPad story at the moment.

Really guys, really? You struck a blow for humanity... by taking down a FANFICTION SITE??? Meanwhile, people continue to starve, kill and be killed, and repressed worldwide in some fashion or another, but please, continue, tell me how much good you've done for humanity on this day that will surely not be remembered by anybody. 3 "You'll hunt me.

yeet 2,027 April 16, 2015 Share April 16, 2015 It's funny that people are shocked by this, i'm surprised it was hacked to this extent, but it's a site filled with Pornographic fictions to do with ponies. Firstly bronies have a bad name with quite a few groups, just because they're fucking morons. Secondly they call us all cloppers because a lot of porn is made for the show. All of that on one site, and you don't expect one random cunt to hack it? XD it's funny though. It is really funny. I wouldn't be surprised if the forum is targeted over the next couple weeks if there is a thing going on right now.

Meh, we've survived stuff before XD What I don't get is the guy who took it down is going around on Twitter right now justifying what he did by saying crap like "My tulpa tells me I'm right about everything" and he seems dead serious. The group also claims to fight for "high functioning autistic people," and when one Twitter user called them out for taking down the site because his autistic sister reads E-rated stories there, this jackoff went and asked "Is she high functioning like us?" Seriously, BUCK THIS GUY! He seems like a combination of jerk, self-righteous, and moron; if you believe that you have a bucking tulpa, why the actual buck would you target bronies of all things?!?! Gosh, this guy sounds like just as much of a piece of work as Otherkin are (whom I had the displeasure to learn about last night, bleh). :okiedokielokie: 5 "You'll hunt me.

They think we're the ones with no lives when I'm pretty sure most of us view Fimfiction (those of us who use it, at least) as nothing more than a nice way to relax via reading or writing; on the contrary, you got these guys who proclaim to fight for "high functioning autistics" (whatever the buck that means) by... taking down a fanfiction site? Oh, oh gosh, it hurts, the combination of hypocrisy, stupidity, and downright egotism just hurts my brain and heart at the same time so much! I've heard of trustfund hippies devoted to more worthwhile causes than these clowns, and being less egotistic about it to boot! P.S. I reported these buckers on Twitter for engaging in targeted harassment of a third party. Hope I'm not the only one doing so. "You'll hunt me. You'll condemn me, set the dogs on me.

You just pissed off thousands, and thousands, of people in a fandom that is quite frankly in it's prime.

Batbrony 16,055 April 16, 2015 Share April 16, 2015 This is so bizarre to me too since the Internet's grown pretty accustomed to bronies by now! It's like he missed the brony-hating bandwagon online back in 2012 when nobody was quite sure if it would even stick around and wanted to get in on something that nobody really cares about now. What a loser. "You'll hunt me. You'll condemn me, set the dogs on me. Because that's what needs to happen. Because sometimes... cupcakes aren't good enough. Sometimes ponies deserve more.

Vertigo-01 101 April 16, 2015 Share April 16, 2015 I actually just joined this forum because of this attack. I got online this morning in an attempt to update my story and found the site down. I only heard about the attack through a comment back at EQD on an unrelated post, which referred me to the news post at HN. My two cents at this point is in the face of an attack like this, we need to be careful not to return hate for hate. Like feeding fuel to the fire, each side is just going to elicit more problems for the other. If they want to call "war" out on something that has no real merit, let them. For the moment, this is an isolated incident that hopefully won't have any major repercussions. But I feel as if the MLP community doesn't need to take it sitting down either; hate movements like this need to be advertised and made clear across the community, internal and abroad. Thankfully, the world at large does not feed on the hatred of small groups like these. "Hate groups" are labeled as such for a reason; there's no place for hatred in the lives of the healthy. Their actions, as others, will not go unnoticed. I'm just hoping "we" (meaning anyone who openly identifies themselves as a fan, brony, etc.) doesn't give ourselves a bad name in the process by trying to retaliate. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
