No, seriously. I bloody hate it when that happens.

Its even worse when they point out your mistake.

[Pendulous]

Oh yeah, here's the MLP panel from Comic-Con. The usual attendees, and Tabitha St. Germain finally made it to one.

[Sofii]

Its even worse when they point out your mistake.

I occasionally quote people who do massive posts, ignore 95% of it, and just correct errors they made.

[Bluesparkks]

I don't outright hate anyone. I have a hard time tolerating some. There's quite I would call "acquaintances" that are on the "friend" side, but who I wouldn't miss terribly if we never spoke again. I've varying levels of respect for pretty much everyone in here--some I respect a little, some a lot. The few who I personally care about probably know that I do already. I don't think I've speared too many relationships with people in here, but there's certainly decisions I've made that I regret involving them, that I wish I could take back. I don't enjoy burning bridges, but sometimes, people in general just make me wanna bash my head against a wall (or more practically, take a nap).

On that note, I've gotta go send Dovahshy a PM. The last time we talked involved some...distasteful words from my end. I may or may not post lists of the aforementioned people. I know it's ostensibly social suicide, but hey, it can change, right?

I've almost spent a year on these forums now, and even I think they've changed me a little. The thing is, I still think it's ridiculous for something like MLP to "change" one's life. If it "has", chances are it's not the show itself, but the interaction with the fanbase that's done so.

True, but the fanbase grew out of the show, for whatever that's worth.

Which... I honestly have more fun just sitting chatting with people over playing games right now.

Depends on the people, but yeah, certainly the case more often than not.

Oh, yeah, I was meant to say this earlier, but I was an idiot and overreacted to one of your posts a while back, when I left the thread for a month. I don't know why, but I was just in a bad mood, and it just escalated and I made a stupid on the spot decision. So, yeah. I still get annoyed by the comment that you made, but I realise that it was perfectly justifiable given what a large majority of my posts are, but I still got offended at it.

I had a similar situation involving Ruomlig that I got rather heated about (involved eschewing narrative conventions in order to "break the mold"), but I think everything's cool between us, if a bit distant. Hasn't helped that he stopped coming to the thread, but I don't find his streams particularly entertaining, so...yeah.

I have to. Otherwise, my typing gets in my way and there's so many errors, even I can't read some of it.

I always do. I--this is going to sound strange--linger on my post for a while after I actually post it, reading my wording and seeing what I can word better or more clearly. Which of course, means...

No, seriously. I bloody hate it when [people quote your post before you can fix stuff].

That I know that feeling, bro.

I don't even mind the fact that my posts are ignored. Not one bit. Sparks kind of does, as do a lot of other people, but I can easily live with it.

I would like to be able to, but I just give too many damns about what other people think of me. I want to feel like I'm worth something, and I suck at giving myself that feeling, so it's irritating when I can't get it from the thread. God knows I won't ever get it from my family, and my friends are...scarce nowadays.

I take it you're not referring to me when you say people you like. I know I have done many negative things that have carved out people's opinions on me, and I realise that most people in real life that I know either hate or dislike me.

Which brings me, again, to how much I respect Sofii here, which is a hell of a lot. Guy just gives no damns about what people think of him--says what he wants to say, and that's that. I've got a lot of respect for that. We have massively different tastes in music, which is a bit of an obstacle, but then again, I've never met anyone who shares my eclectic taste in music.

[Coffer]

I take it you're not referring to me when you say people you like. I know I have done many negative things that have carved out people's opinions on me, and I realise that most people in real life that I know either hate or dislike me.

Neutral. Just like with Vetali, I used to dislike you, but you're decent now.


If it matters, there's only one person that I'd really miss if I left now, and only one person that I absolutely despise. I'm not going to reveal their identities.

If it helps, I don't dislike you at all. We haven't exactly had many conversations together though, so I don't exactly know you well.
All I know is that we seem to have quite different music tastes, and some days you can be pretty grumpy, but I can't blame you for having a shit day.

I can tell I typed something wrong when it's a blatant error, without looking at what I typed. But for me, I have a specific error I make constantly where I'll hit the space bar to oearly ( <-- just like that) and I never realize I messed up.


Yeah. Even worse, doing it in a chatroom/IRC scenario where you can't go back and edit it.

Ah I see, I guess I'm lucky that I don't have that.
What I DO have however (which is only on stuff like Steam, or wherever "Enter" is used as a quick send button) is that my apostraphy key is right next to enter, and sometimes when I'm writing words with apostraphies, I'll accidently hit enter.
Oh God it annoys me so much.

[Sofii]

Okay, I have a few options for lunch.
1) SuperMi Mi Goreng Instant Noodles
2) Easy Mac
3) Kranskies
4) Chilli.

Which should I pick?

[raveger]

The original question of "do you consider yourself a brony"? I do. The problem is nobody has a clear definition of it. John de Lancie said he was, and it had nothing to do with actually watching the show (because he doesn't). So first you really have to define it. I feel like I haven't given anything to this community yet, but I don't think that's really a prerequisite either. It's just there.

As far as the community, I don't know what anybody else is talking about, but from what I've seen, I see nothing but more and more positive each day. Because even when I started watching the show and posting here, I had a very specific, biased opinion on what I thought was the majority of the fans. It actually took some time for that to go away, and I haven't seen it since. Remember, this is the internet. People who are basing their opinion on what they see on Reddit or 9gag or whatever, need to stop and think what kind of sites those are. This isn't a "community", it's just a website where people can go to be whatever they want, and in too many cases, it's trolling and random crap. Nobody here has said anything negative about anybody else here, so where else are you seeing true fans, or "bronies", being less than what this fanbase is supposed to be? The "darker" side is always there, and even there it's easily ignored, if you want.

I guess I just don't see what you're (not you specifically) seeing. Then again, I'm not a 4chan/9gag/whatever kind of person. I visit the real sites for the community.

I didnt define it because i wanted to see what other people considered it to be, it was more of an open ended question. I dont think you really have to give anything to the community to be a brony, just watching the show or supporting the fan art with view is enough i would think, keeps people going ya know?

I saw something in the ponyconfessionals last night that made me cringe, the way it was worded the way they talked about it, just blew me out of the water if you get my meaning. I usually ignore the darker side, when i saw r34 i made sure to ignore that completely, as well as 80% of the fan fics because they are all mostly dark/shipping ones. I understand that this is the internet and each person portrays who they wish to be identified as on here, I for one have been me, i havent really changed who i am for the sake of the internet, id rather just be myself and not spend the extra effort in coming up with a person, if people do that.

Even if this one forum isnt really a community, i kind of consider it to be that way, we have made groups based off of this thread, found great artists through here, had games, actually met one another in some cases. So i would say that this kind of is a community in itself, of course it could be closed with a click of a button, but i dont think anyone has really done anything to merit that as of yet, and i hope it will never happen, and do i think this mlp thread thing on mmoc will end, one day of course, but when it does, im sure we will have had a good run.

I have never been to 4chan, or 9gag, or any of those sights, they dont really interest me =/

[Vetali]

Even worse when you make it on purpose,

True story, when I submitted that I realized I said "the" instead of "they"...

Oh yeah, here's the MLP panel from Comic-Con. The usual attendees, and Tabitha St. Germain finally made it to one.

Ugh now I have to watch this. Overlord VA is in it.

I haven't really heard of any of those aside from just guessing what they are from the name.
If the Easy Mac is some form of burger (microwavable perhaps?), then I'd pick that.
If not then the noodles.

Good night ponies

Sleep well Huds.

Ah, the similarities.

I would like to be able to, but I just give too many damns about what other people think of me. I want to feel like I'm worth something, and I suck at giving myself that feeling, so it's irritating when I can't get it from the thread. God knows I won't ever get it from my family, and my friends are...scarce nowadays.

Family, huh. At least you still have that.

What do I have? Fuck all, that's what.

But yes, I still feel the same way you do. I just make an exception for truly emotional stuff. Those things are the only ones that I really care about nowadays. That and F1, but then there's only one person in here that really follows it other than me.

[Sofii]

If it helps, I don't dislike you at all. We haven't exactly had many conversations together though, so I don't exactly know you well.
All I know is that we seem to have quite different music tastes, and some days you can be pretty grumpy, but I can't blame you for having a shit day.

It's not so much shit days as a near completely pessimistic outlook on life.

Neutral. Just like with Vetali, I used to dislike you, but you're decent now.

Oh, that's better than I thought I had made myself out to be.

If it matters, there's only one person that I'd really miss if I left now, and only one person that I absolutely despise. I'm not going to reveal their identities.

One of them is Drek, I bet so.

Which brings me, again, to how much I respect Sofii here, which is a hell of a lot. Guy just gives no damns about what people think of him--says what he wants to say, and that's that. I've got a lot of respect for that. We have massively different tastes in music, which is a bit of an obstacle, but then again, I've never met anyone who shares my eclectic taste in music.

Still surprised at that. I don't think I'm that worthy of respect.

[Coffer]

One of them is Drek, I bet so.

Wrong. I don't know him well enough. We haven't spoken in private at all.

There are a lot of people that just "miss the cut". Especially when it comes to those that I would miss.

[raveger]

I've mentioned my hatred issues before, so I'll hold back on that. But you're one of the people that I still like from this thread.



I don't even mind the fact that my posts are ignored. Not one bit. Sparks kind of does, as do a lot of other people, but I can easily live with it.

What I DO mind, however, is ridicule. From and by those that I gave a damn about. While my nature is borderline masochistic, I still hate that sort of stuff.

However, there are, indeed, some people in this thread that I still like, and that plus the general atmosphere being at a slightly higher than acceptable level means that I don't have a lot to lose by staying. Yet.

ah well i can see how you feel about that then. It would get under my skin a bit as well.

but anyone is free to leave if they want, not like anyone can hold another back =/ words are just words, nothing more. I prefer to actually look for action behind the words. And the happy really does feel good in here on most occasions




unrelated to coffers post, i dont think i have ever really pissed anyone off in here, i like to think i have gotten along with everyone pretty well during the time ive spent here

-Snip-

My only regret with you, if anything, is that any time you seem to post on this thread, I'm in no mood for proper discussions. So my posts mainly consist of "Hi" and "Bye". I remember having this conversation with you before, how that it's certainly no way to get to know someone better.

I just hope that when Torchlight 2 comes out we can actually have some discussions instead of you having to put up with me looking like a bore every time you read the thread.

It's not so much shit days as a near completely pessimistic outlook on life.

To be fair you haven't been bad lately. Although I do remember a couple of days weeks ago where you just gave off the impression that you hated everything.

[Sofii]

EWWWWWWW No we are not America, we don't have burgers in a can. It's instant macaroni and cheese.

I didnt define it because i wanted to see what other people considered it to be, it was more of an open ended question.

First off, it's "sites".

Secondly, I don't call myself a brony because a) self labelling is biased, b) I don't feel that I care too much for ponies any more. I mean, I enjoy a few fics, like the artwork, but mostly I just come in here to chat on completely non-poni topics to people I don't want to be purged from the world. Also, I clop to r34 ponies, and that gives a bad name to the people who choose to be called bronies, so I don't call myself one.

[BAKANA]

I like you guys. :3

Oh...
That makes sense.

I actually don't like any of the foods you listed, but the mac and cheese sounds like the most filling.
