But could you take us both on at the same time, Mousa, huh?

On-Topic Conversations at first and then get so jaded

Hm? What's wrong with On-Topic? they do political and scientific discussions and stuff like that, right?

And as such, they're the subforum that's most prone to people getting worked up really easily, since many more posters are prone to treating the matter like Serious Business.

Kegisak... Have you actually been there? At all? I had to stop lurking there to keep myself from getting even more bitter than I already am.

AHR, I can handle you and her any day of the week.

I'm off to bed.

Night.

I've never been. I tend to stick to WA and the Yack Fest boards.

So they just get riled up and angry really easily? I guess I can see why she'd want to avoid it - It'd probably send me off within a few minutes of reading, if it's really as bad as all that.

Night Apple!

Night, Apple

You've seen how I get around ponies. I try to stay as far away from real life issues as I can

So, I step out for a couple of hours and

Fuck.

@apple good night sleep well!

Sad to hear what happened to pinkie :(

Twilight would totally get her life ruined . But We would all learn from her that's for sure!

Night, Apple.

Scanning Day 2 now :D

I may not post directly to the ATG event because too many bronies broke the ATG client and I don't use Deviant Art, but I can still post elsewhere :V

@Ace Looking forward to see it.

G'night, Applelight.

In a way, I'm glad I missed all the drama. Still, I'm going to miss Applepink.

Yeah, it's a pity he ended up getting banned.

And goodnight to everybody who's hitting the sack. I probably should be doing that soon.

Exactly, its the board where people whose subculture is defined by making up terminology for nebulous patterns get to demonstrate their utter ignorance of reality.

It's basically IJBM but twice as pretentious.

Ding!

Photobucket◊, Ponibooru.

Argh, I needed to do more cleanup! Oh well, I can do that later and rescan it :V Kickable Grenades should not be bucked by untrained ponies. Bright Idea is a trained grenadier pony, and exercises the proper cautions when bucking grenades. She doesn't wear full plate armor because she can't take the weight, lol.

^^ There is also the risk of reading about news, which is invariably depressing.

So, who got banned, and why?

I don't know, but they got banhammered for not being civil.

At one point I couldn't tell the difference between OTC and IJBM.

I wonder, would any of them be well-versed in the art of trolling? Maybe RD. Or maybe she'd just recycle the same topic again and again in IJBM.

Pinkie P/Applejack Pony, for being hostile and calling names.

Here, or in another thread?

Gilda, for bullying Fluttershy.

and apparently Trixie, for bullying everyone else and indirectly causing an Ursa Minor.

@Ace

Nice drawing that's certainly a pose hard to draw. Grenade bucking is Bad Ass You are making me want to draw ponie. But I have College homework :/

@Ace: I wish I could draw like that.

*awaits inevitable "anybody can learn to draw if you put the time in" comments*

There was a bit of a debacle about homophobia, and it got... messy.

although... now that AJ isn't actually around, I thought it was sort of an interesting subject. Because the thing is, none of the girls have really shown anything one way or another in regards to it. Nothing they've done leads me to believe they could be homophobic, but there's nothing that writes it off, either. Certainly none of them would be bad about it, never violent, but I don't think it's out of the question that it could make them uncomfortable, or they would be against it.

It won't ever be addressed in-show, of course, but as far as fanfic goes I think it could be interesting to explore - why the character feels that why, making certain that it's clearly wrong, of course.

Given the recent thing I wouldn't blame anyone who doesn't want to talk about it, just thought I'd throw my two cents out there.

@ Bluespade: the trouble started around here. I wasn't here to help calm him down.
