Hello Finest/PinkiePie! Glad you missed me! Sorry I hadn't been on... Truth is that I actually forgot the password to my account and went from weeks went on to an entire month before I finally issued a new one... My "bronism" hasn't deteriorated at all because in the meantime I posted in an MLP thread on 3DSforums. Thank you for the kind words, I never would have thought I would have had an honorable mention, much less be at the very top of the list (I understand it's not in order of importance, it's alphabetical, but in anycase, thank you!). The feelings are mutual, friend, as many others also think of you as a great forum goer.

My broneism is as strong as ever because in the meantime I posted in an MLP thread on 3DSforums. Thank you for the kind words, I never would have thought I would have had an honorable mention, much less be at the very top of the list (unless it's alphabetical, in which case, thank you anyway).

HOLY SHIT.

Captain Marvelous- You showed me a non brony could hang out with bronies and get along wonderfully. You make the world seem like a better place than it really is c:

 

 

 

I will give you the greatest response one man can give to another (besides the Daimon Masaru Fist Pump, cause I can't find a pic)

"As you continue on your journey, even if you think there is no ending, you must write the ending yourself. Break the chains of destiny, continue to live at, and only at, the climax and leave behind you great memories behind you. As grandma once said, 'If a man continues on his path to be a great, one will find their own heart beat, you can grab a hold of that trump card and start up your own call,' If you do not fight, you will not survive... continue evolving until the very end... and remember...

 

keep on smiling!"

Hey now

 

Look back at your first post... there is more then just me...

 

"Look go back and look at your memories

 

Count up your friends. 1, 2, and.. you know there are too many too list...

 

remember anything goes... here, we are together in this space, hell yeah!"

[Feather Spiral 1,892]

Anyhow, this is a prime example of why I love this community, it is so supportive and helpful. I am glad to know I am in a place not only where I can help others, but where everypony can help eachother with love and tolerance.

 

/) to you all!

It's not those YellingAssholes Forums that can brag about such solidarity, be it among themselves or with other communities.

Well, I may be a good fifteen and a half hours late, but I've finally discovered this threads existence, and I must say I'm pleasantly surprised I made it on the list!

 

I generally can only access these forums via mobile as I'm travelling from place to place on public transport, and by the time I do get online on my computer, most people have already gone to bed, so I find it a little difficult to get to know everypony personally.

 

Despite this fact, you still managed to list me, and I thank you for the recognition - it really does mean a lot.

 

 

It warms my heart to see how such strong friendships have been established between each and every one of you. I never would of thought that these forums would ever develop into something so meaningful. I hope that soon enough my own life will slow down a tad, so I can become a little more involved around here.

 

So I'll take this opportunity to say thank you, both to Finest for bringing a smile to my face, and to the community as a whole, for providing me with a place where I can retreat from the worries of the world, and for at least a few hours, actually feel content.

 

 

Let's keep the love in circulation, don't ever let it stop.

Hm... I've been watching Pinkie aka robot overlord over the past few days and no, not that kind of watching. Anyways, so as I said, I've been watching his posts, his threads and his "what's on your mind"s and I saw something familiar in him. I saw a boy, lost in his world, not knowing what he needs nor wants in his life, not seeing what is he doing. It's something familiar to depression, or I think it's something like it, because I've seen lots of things over the past five years, and they weren't pleasant.

 

Now, about the thing that bronies changed your life. Well, I don't know. It sounds kind of ridiculous. I never believed in internet relationships, especially when you just write, role play, comment each other, play and so on. What I'm trying to say is that internet "friends" that you have shouldn't change your life in a big way, especially when you don't know them in RL, because one could go insane, or as I said get a depression. Only Friends whom you know in the RL (example: family, school/work mates, neighbours, loved one's, childhood friends) should or could influence it. However, as I say, for each theyr own. Do as you like but be warned, don't go to deep in internet-only friendships, because it will go away someday and no one whom you knew (well, maybe some) will find you or get a contact with you in real life. I'm not saying you're that depressed, or you don't have friends in RL or you have problems in it, I’m saying you should talk to someone just to lay off your feelings to someone dear to you. (no, someone like your parents)

 

Anyways, I liked it. It was from your heart. I approve it and wish that you would have wonderful times in here.

I cannot begin to express how one-sided that is. And narrow.

 

Your argument is centered around the assumption that caring minds, who stand by someone having difficult times rather than just avoid "weird" people, are evenly distributed on the surface of the globe. That every single family has at least one member who can listen to your problems and help you solve them. That people you know IRL are always considerate enough to respect your moods and care for you.

You're also assuming that posts are the only medium of communication we use. What about all the videos, pictures, stories, poems, songs? Don't they exist, don't they count, don't they have any influence on people who're open to them?

 

Never underestimate the importance of relationships on the basis that it's over the Internet. Face-to-face or not, you're still interacting with more minds than you would've just IRL, which means more chance of finding a solution to your predicaments.

Never underestimate the power of words simply because they're typed and not spoken. Quite the opposite; speech flies away, but writings stay.

Yes and no. I support the fact that people should help someone having difficult times. However, it should be done by people you know not in the internet, but by the people that you know in the real world. Why? Because It Will surely help them more to talk with theyr family than sharing on how they feal in forums(or any other way) and not saying a thing to theyr families/lovedones. Ofcourse, the best thing would be to do both, to talk to both internet "friends" and family. But If they should chose one, they should chose to talk to theyr families, because they will feal much better and they will receive much more support than from the internet.

 

 

You're also assuming that posts are the only medium of communication we use. What about all the videos, pictures, stories, poems, songs? Don't they exist, don't they count, don't they have any influence on people who're open to them?

 

Well, they sure exist and they sure count and there are far more methods than posting. Though I bet that over 45% of people over do it thus becoming adicted to it. the other 65% (+/-) are just fine or atleast a bit overdoing it. I never really got the (for example) mass chating in livestreams, where over 500-1000 people say random things and try to impress the OP.

Sorry but I really do not believe in things like really strong relationships only via the internet. Sure, you interact with more minds via internet but it doesn't mean they are all right/sane/smart but also it doesn't mean they are the oposite too what i said. And yeah, people love tiped words over spoken because they are geting adicted to technology/internet/non-face to face relationships.

 

By the way, everything that I said wan non-offence. So yeah, don't get me wrong, I respect everyones tastes, but I too have my own.

 

 

Um... okay.

I do not agree with this. At all.

 

When you are online, you take to people on the inside.

 

You say online relationships are not as strong?

 

I call bull crap.

 

You find an online relationship that lasts life times.

 

I know people to this day i met when I was 7.

Nope, Internet relationship < IRL relationship, because it's 20% better

 

good for you, but it doesn't mean you will be BFF's in all the cases, it's more like 25% that you will 75% that you woun't... or it's even less than 25%.

 

And I'm talking about internet-only relationships here, where you only chat and talk via it, and don't meat them IRL.

 

And seriously, you should talk to someone dear like your family, you will feal much better, I guarantee it. Ofcourse if you feal the need to.

 

_{^{I will regret posting this when I wake up I swear...}}

[Viscra Maelstrom 3,718]

i'm gonna go call bullshit on this, as well.

you have no idea how i'd be a person right now, were it not for people on the internet.

 

i was at rock-fucking-bottom last fall, and it held out through the winter. i was caught in a cycle of depression that seemed endless. i was depressed. i was semi-suicidal. hell, i was even partly homicidal back then. i wanted to hurt myself and others, just so i could feel something. i was not well, i didn't go to school for a month. i told NO ONE at home AT ALL about how i felt. they had NO FUCKING IDEA WHATSOEVER THAT I WAS A COMPLETE FUCKING WRECK.

 

had Feather at the other forum not decided to contact me during my time of depression, i would not have had the courage to tell him about how i felt about fucking everything. i trusted him, moreso than i could say about anyone in my family. thanks to him, i was saved from the personal hell i was stuck in.

 

i don't feel well either now, years of negative thinking and the death of your grandmother does that to you. and who do i turn to? my internet friends. i may be alone and not have friends irl, but i'm trying to change that. guess who told me i could do it?

 

my internet friends

 

i have no one to turn to irl, so i turn to those i know via internet. you have NO IDEA how much they've decided to help me though this. how much they have made me feel better. how much easier my life has become thanks to them.

 

and you're saying only friends you know irl can do this? here's what i call that:

 

Bull

Fucking

SHIT

 

also, if you're drunk, don't post things like this. seriously.

[Finesthour 7,287]

Viscra,

 

You said what I was thinking.

[Feather Spiral 1,892]

Because It Will surely help them more to talk with theyr family than sharing on how they feal in forums(or any other way) and not saying a thing to theyr families/lovedones.

You seem to have missed my point by several dozen miles.

I know you just admitted you weren't entirely yourself, so I can't blame you in person. But I'm aware of people who actually believe that way and, even without "outside" help, don't hesitate to shout it out.

The below paragraph is directed at those so-called "preachers" who think RL friends/relatives are necessarily more beneficial just because they've seen your face and interacted physically with you.

 

Let me give you my own example. My sexual orientation, to be more specific; I am bisexual, with a heavy preference for my own gender.

My parents, especially my mother, were raised in conservative conditions. My mother's artistic openness of mind were murdered at school, and by those RL friends and family, those you say help you feel and be better. As for my father, well - the way he speaks, I don't think he ever suspects such "eccentric" things are actually common. As a result of this, both are convinced that homosexuality is a mental illness that should be treated, that there's no such thing as a "spectrum", that kinks beyond their own understanding are sick.

In a situation like this, would you advise that I tell them that I like men more? And would you suggest that I tell either of them that I like men AT ALL?

Let me specify one thing: since I'm allergic to "small talk", I don't socialize a lot. I can't stand random chatter, since I consider the subjects too... petty and unimaginative.

 

And I'm not saying you don't have the right to an opinion, and I know you don't mean offense. But you really make it sound like fact, that's what I'm criticizing.

What happened here http://mlpforums.com/public/style_emoticons/default/dry.png

Internet friendships can be just as good. Because they happen through a computer does not mean they are not real or legitimate.

[Zoop 8,384]

Despite not sharing Shoe's outlook on online vs offline relationships, I really think that people need to chillax about the whole thing.

 

With that said, a lot of the internet friends that I spoke with ten years ago about the hassles of our high school lives are now the same internet friends that I spoke with ten minutes ago about the hassles of our full-time employment lives. Not only that, but at least once a year, a group of friends and I - internet friends, I might add - coordinate our vacation time and get together for 4-6 days of ridiculous fun times. Boston, New York, Seattle, Las Vegas, and so on.

 

Just about every negative that can be given about friends on the internet, I would say, can also be applied to offline friends. I would say that it isn't the communication medium that matters, so much as it is the person that matters.

 

Me? I've got my fair share of offline friends, and I wouldn't give them up for the world; but the same can also be said for my online friends - I cherish them just as much.
