Do they read our stuff?

[Party Cannon 876]

I am curious if any of the staff of the show reads our stuff, particularly this forum? Did anyone ever catch one, or hear in an interview one mention this forum by name?

 

I can totally see them doing it, whether for fun, adoration, or actual input.

 

Same goes for Hasbro. I wonder if some developers use our opinions?

I kind of doubt that the staff of the show ever goes on this forum, but you never know. It's certainly possible. That would be pretty cool if one of the voice actors became a member here lol

Who knows, maybe there might already be a staff member here on MLP Forums. It wouldn't be surprising if one of the producers pretended to be a fan and got feedback that way.

I might be one... I might not be... That is up to you to decide.

 

Ha ha, I doubt any of us work for the show. If a member did then they might be a lot more public about it. Then again they might just like their privacy. On the tennis forum I go to to keep up with the news and to watch the same people have the same arguments in 10000 different threads we have one of the top junior players in the world and people kinda fanboy out when he posts stuff.

 

Would be cool though

[Dusty Soul 2,611]

I doubt they would. I mean they are usually busy, so this probably isn't a high priority. They may know of this place, but they probably don't come on to it.

[~Asuka <3~ 867]

Maybe, but probably not. I don't think they know that this place exists, except for maybe a few. It's not really a high priority thing either, y'know.

I doubt the staff have even heard of this forum, not to be pessimistic or anything...but this forum is relatively new so I just have no confidence in stating it.

Feld0 brohoofed it, he must be a producer.

 

I'm just kidding, really.

On a related note, I don't think the show's writers are allowed to read fanfiction.

 

As for this though, I don't know. I'd like to think that there might be someone here among us, or at the least, someone's visited this place before; we're new but we're also expansive and popular, so I don't think it'd be hard. For example Tara is on Twitter all the time, if something related to us somehow got tweeted to her by a member or Guest who liked the site, boom, she's suddenly heard of it.

I am almost positive the shows creaters have at least visited some sites. Even if they don't read exactly what goes on, or read the fanfiction, I bet they look at the pictures and read some comments. Or I might be wrong, but I don't think I am. Now if they were to join the site, that would be epic.

[Zygen 6,066]

Its entirely possible, but I don't know how much they would look at it. if they do at all, I mean while its possible they probably are to busy or may not have heard of these forums yet.

However they certainly know about the fandom .

[Creamy Arty 6,252]

Given how in-touch the show staff is with us and our memes and everything, I'm sure they read fanfictions, check out our music, etc. As for them coming to this forum, probably not. My guess most of what they see they find on Reddit. Everything the Brony community produces makes its way to the innumerable subreddits eventually, and Reddit is extremely popular and the biggest content aggregator on the internet. Come to think of it, I think somebody from the show did an AMA once...

[Crispy 5,563]

I'm sure they read fanfictions, .

 

The rest of your post, I agree with, but they aren't really allowed to read fanfictions. There's legal issues with ideas being appropriated that way. They've mentioned that before.

 

They do check out the Youtube stuff and EqD, at the very least.

That's too bad, but perhaps for the better. Just imagine one of the writers reading them, thinking: "Damn, I wish I could write like my fans" That would give me quite a mental fallout .
