I saw one reblog from a kid born in 1998 and I was like 'whaaaaat?'.

Whoah. That is young.

And I'm not ON your Internet lawn! You can't catch me! Nah-nah- nah- nah nah!

@Ilse: I'm only 8 years older than you, lol. The whippersnappers I'm talking about are the ones still not even done with high school yet I bet they haven't even heard a FAX modem dialling up

I remember that we had Bluebonnet dial-up before we got high-speed internet, so myeah :P Child of the 90's, baby!

Or a typewriter in action.

That would actually be closer to the target demography, though.

@Ace You mean that way they did it in WarGames? (I'm partially serious) If not, we had that for a while...

Hello, Bluespade. We all missed you.

Thread Hop.

So, hey everyone. I'm back from 8 days of travel. I've glanced in on the thread every now and again on my dad's iPhone, but only got a vague indication of whats been going on. So, how's it been? We got any new members? How was the new episode? Spark any more controversy? Ginger finish reading Fallout Equestria yet? What are we talking about now?

I feel so out of the loop

Ah... faxes... How I remember thee (I used one like 3 weeks ago XD)

And I had dial-up up until I was like 12, so I still remember it, although barely. I also remember floppy disks, monitors, VCRs (I still use ours occasionally), and typewriters pretty well. ^^

Same here XD Dial-up, floppy disks, VCRs (I grew up in a time where people still made jokes about not being able to set the time on those XD), and recording a show before the time of the DVR.

@Bluespade Now to answer your other questions:

It's been nice. Yes. It was generally well received. No. If not, he's on the last chapter or so. Either you or "whippersnappers."

I don't know what has happened in the last 20 bazillion pages since last night, but I'm busy procrastinating from handing in a 500 word (max) proposal about what my writing project for this term will be for Uni that is meant to be posted to the lecturer before the deadline in one and a half hours.

There seems to be some nostalgia talk going on though, hyeh.

The bad old days. Remember when you couldn't change the channel because someone was taping a show on tv?

Also boomboxes? I used to rip out the magnets from the speakers and do all sorts of things with them because they were so powerful.

@Bluespade, the main event was release of a preview clip for the new episode. Apart from that, it's just been the usual insanity.

Youngsters these days. Y'all whippersnappers enjoy yourselves for my amusement

Hi! I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear!

Thought I'd beat this to death again.

Oh no! The first stages of Mousa-dom.

Ten years from now we'll be going "Ah, yes. The original i-phones. They were so large and could only hold 64 GB of information. I remember when everyone (but me) had one... So ancient though. It's a bit of a shame this new generation won't have them..."

Technology sure progresses. In 10 years, people will probably have the i phone installed into their brains or something

Has there been any new episodes announced after Hurricane Fluttershy? (I'm not gonna look up any previews, I don't really want spoilers that bad).

The CMC start a gossip corner (or some other noun). I forgot the episode name

edited 8th Mar '12 9:33:13 PM by crowlover

The previews aren't very incriminating. They just show one 1 minute scene. And it only shows the plot basically. It looks like it comes from the beginning of the episode. You won't really get spoiled from it... much... maybe... ><

As for the episodes: After the "Ponyville Confidential" episode (the CMC episode with the whole gossip column thing), there is one unnamed episode and then the 1 hour season finale that deals with the wedding. This has not been titled yet. It's also possible that the finale will actually be two 30 minute episodes aired in two different weeks though...

Just one called "Ponyville Confidential" which involes the CMC staring a gossip column.

edited 8th Mar '12 9:34:16 PM by dmysta3000

Wow, another CMC episode? I'm kind of getting tired of them... maybe if they got some character development... or focused on Scootaloo for once. I want another adventure episode, you remember when we used to have those?

I'm only 23, and I started feeling old when I realized the kids at the school I work at are all younger than Pokémon. Seriously, they take its existence for granted, which just feels bizarre because I can remember life before that came around.

Don't forget the leaked bit of info about the last episode for this season.

Don't feel bad just feel superior

Oh right, Shining Armor is Twilight's brother.

The thing is, most episodes are pretty easy to see everything coming, especially since there is always a little summary talked about before hand, so I draw the line at the previews. I wish I could completely avoid the synopsizes too, but then I'd have to stay out of the thread and would miss out on speculation.

Woah, really? Twilight has a brother?

@latenight The one about Cadence and the CMC?
