Dashock Brony 6 April 19, 2012 Share April 19, 2012 Hi all, it's nice to be part of this fandom and I'm glad I started an account. Though I do have a few questions. One, would be how exactly this fandom got started, with me being almost completely new, I'm a bit lost. My best friend gave me the DVD box set of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic season 1, for my birthday. Under the circumstances I assumed it was a gag gift, being the jokester he is. We had a laugh about it and I just threw it on my shelf. About a week later I saw that it was gathering dust and I decided to watch some of it. I started with episode one...then in one night I finished the entire season. I loved it, and questioning my sanity I got on the internet and did some research. I didn't even know the Brony fandom existed till about two days ago. Maybe you guys could fill me in a little bit... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Storm 1,020 April 19, 2012 Share April 19, 2012 I was in a similar situation with my friends here. I always thought they were kidding at first. when I realized that they weren't and started watching it myself, I too, fell in love with it. AS far as how long the fandom has been as big as it is, I can't tell you. but what I can tell you is that here on MLP forums we are a tight-knit community here and if you stick around, I'm sure you're going to enjoy your stay, and I'm looking forward to hearing your opinions. BTW: if you loved season one, then you're going to love season two even more. It's I think would be safe to say, 20% cooler, haha.

Typhoid Libby 1,265 April 19, 2012 Share April 19, 2012 How this fandom got started? Someone started pasting funny pictures of ponies on 4Chan and were called all kindsa bad stuff for it because no-one had any idea what they were on about. Other than odd looking caramel coloured ponies, that is. Quick forward a few days and everyone is still calling everyone bad things because they actually have a idea what they on about. Voilà, fandom. And then people started rationalizing it and attached silly notions to watching ponies and it got even sillier than 4Chan. Then it got all passive aggressive and lot of boot was used on ponyheads, leading to the prevalent pony-sites that pollute the internet these days instead of one silly site full of "Fags" cause no-one apparently got the idea that it's still just caramel coloured ponies and not a world shattering fandom that magically makes everything better by spreading the creed; "Love and Tolerate or else" I should know, I was there. 1 FORUM GODDAMMIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dashock Brony 6 April 19, 2012 Author Share April 19, 2012 It wasn't the DVD box set exactly. He took a DVD cover off one of the old movies, and put a burned disk in it. Not sure how he got a hold of the episodes though. But he told me it had all of season 1, so I just assumed it was the legit one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letterone 1,204 April 22, 2012 Share April 22, 2012 Greetings, new brony! You'll find that there is quite a multitude of pony-related things out here on teh Internets. I, for example, do music (mostly remixes of other brony-made music, and my own stuff, too ). So, then, welcome to the greatest forum ever. Everyone here's friggin cool. It's ironic how I fall just to get back up again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
