I kinda had some doubts from the start. There was too much "leak" information. And he didn't really seem to know what he was talking about when he answered the more technical questions.

I was still fooled though. Oh well it was fun reading when it lasted so I ain't even mad.

I kind of saw this coming... didn't seem completely believable when it came to the more technical questions and the anwsers were sort of vauge

Uh, what was this all about?

 

Basically, someone on Ponychan claimed to be a staff member from the show, answering all sorts of questions in regards to characters, the length of season three, etc...Ponychan admins initially confirmed it as being real, so it was posted onto EQD. Naturally it turned out to be false.

 

If you'd like to read the post he posted, the transcript is still on the original EQD newspost, here: http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/02/season-three-confirmed-for-more-than.html

If somebody ever asks one of those people they better at least ask if the Cutie Mark Crusaders will ever get their cutie marks.

I missed it and didn't find out about this until after it was revealed to be a fake. I read comments off of EqD, and it all seemed fake, it wouldn't have fooled me. I highly doubt the writers will ever include more than just the little tidbits from our fandom into the show that they have been doing already for one thing. Plus, they would never "leak" that much info.

 

I'm worried. Between this and the recent HP hoax, other trolls across the net see how easily gullible we are and will keep pulling crap like this. (I'll admit I fell for the HP hoax myself).

I fell for it, too. Part of what worries me about this incident is that the admins of Ponychan fell for this at first, which may mean that it will become their primary target.

I was skeptical to begin with (what with the grammatical errors and inconsistent answers and all that), but the claims that "the Ponychan mods confirmed that he really was Ed Rosario" thing was enough to convince me.

 

Now I'm just sad.


That's really all there is to say on the matter.

I'm not going to worry about season 3. Who knows what they are planning, but this show is hugely successful and recently brought in the second highest ratings on the network.

 

They haven't confirmed or denied anything about more than 13 episodes. That much, we know.

We still don't know for sure there will be only 13 episodes, it's just a rumor, and I'm sure there will be more than that, and probably a season 4 and hopefully a season 5.

There was supposedly an "official" HP account on deviantart (ya know, that computer company). It looked very professional too, like it was the real deal. They posted some images of MLP products they had in the works (these products being entry-level, bare bones, laptops and a USB mouse of Pinkie Pie). They where photoshopped of course, but all companies photoshop images of what the final product will look like, as a promotional thing to get people excited. All the comments made by the imposer where very professional and polite. Companies have made electronics with licensed characters for kids before, and Hasbro does seem like the type of company that would do such a thing...overal, the whole thing looked VERY legit.

 

Then someone asked on HP's official page if the DA account was the real deal, and turns out it wasn't. So yeah, it ended up being nothing more than a REALLY elaborate hoax.
