I'm actually surprised there are so many other locations feeding the pony craze. Though for some reason for the last few days I have gotten 600 hits from deviant art daily, but trying to follow the link back to it's location doesn't work due to their external link policy thing. And I'm pretty sure it's not the ponies in lingerie posted on Ms. Fausts DA account (gdi anon are you serious..)
But who are all of you OTHER people?! Post it below in the comments thanks!

I come from the smash world forums, my allies is Dragoon Fighter.
ReplyDelete/v/
ReplyDeleteI came from /tg/.
ReplyDeleteQuestion: "But who are all you OTHER people?!"
ReplyDeleteAnswer: We are the swarm... assimilation is neigh.
Starmen.net native here.
ReplyDeleteI usually come from Toonzone.
ReplyDeletecame from SA
ReplyDeletee621 reporting in. For the record, I don't count ponies as being furry and neither should you.
ReplyDeleteSomethingAwful. They just don't take kindly them ponies around there anymore.
ReplyDeleteWhat? I thought SA liked ponies. What happened? Angry mods?
ReplyDeleteWebcomics, A bunch of different web comics I read kept talking about them.
ReplyDeleteI've always had a soft spot for cute stuff, and when I was much younger, I was kind of interested in the G1 MLP show, but I never had the chance to get into it. Fast forward to 2010, I read somewhere that a new show was starting, but since the 90's shows had been embarassingly crappy, I didn't make much of it... until I started seeing all these pony macros floating around.
ReplyDeleteThen I saw this pic on The Daily What: http://i56.tinypic.com/zjarec.jpg
And I thought, "I just HAVE to watch this!". I found it, I watched it, I loved it, I obsessively researched all info sources I could gather, and I ended up liking this site the most.
I saw a thread on 420chan. I try to validate the presence of pony threads there, but the userbase generally sees the pony craze as a meme and can't understand that people actually like the show. There's still a thread on /mtv/ iirc.
ReplyDeleteWho cares, the original crew from the /co/ threads in October 2010 are all that matter.
ReplyDeleteWE LIKED IT FIRST
Randomly found a game called Pony Island several years back - and have been following MLP ever since. Saw the first episode of this show and FREAKED. best show EVER.
ReplyDeleteShort: Couldn't pick one of multiple valid answers.
ReplyDeleteLong:
My gateawy to ponies: Instant Messaging.
My gateway to 4chan's /co/ pony thread finder: Youtube comments.
My gateway to Equestria Daily: This, I don't remember. Likely, I either found it in one of the archived threads I had clicked in the finder, or when I followed dotUser on Twitter.
And of course I wouldn't have gone back to watch the show in the first place if not for all the stuff that popped up in my FurAffinity/deviantArt/Youtube/Twitter/Livejournal. In particular, this guy's drawing of Pinkie Pie from 2006 (Which I'm sure I saw on FA instead of dA the first time...) is the one that made me give the show serious consideration and a second chance. And that picture only exists because of MLPArena, so by that token you could say MLPArena is responsible for me being here. All of those sites (except perhaps Allspark and PA Forums, but chances are I stumbled across them too when googling) had some role in getting me here.
Somethingawful over here. Mods allowed a pony thread, but they got flooded with complaints, so they banned friendship.
ReplyDeleteFor now.
Tvtropes has a section called "Fanfiction Recommendations." All of the links led here, and so here we are.
ReplyDeletebut to start out with, one of my friends on DA recommended the show, and he has good taste, so I started watching it.
ReplyDeleteWell I came to ponies from FurAffinity but to here from /co/ after a long and torturous route
ReplyDeleteTechnically, /tg/ -but I watched the first episode on Hub's website on a whim way back before it really caught 4chan's eye, so ha.
ReplyDeleteWas browsing KYM and suddenly ponys!
ReplyDeleteThe Mspa forums
ReplyDeleteFillydephia on tumblr.
ReplyDelete@crazyredemu
ReplyDeleteWhich ones?
The Goddamned Furry Board's /caw/ board. For the record, I find ponies a little furry. Maybe as much as Thundercats.
ReplyDeleteCame from SA. Was fun until they banned friendship.
ReplyDeleteCame to 4chan for the first time in my life,
ReplyDeleteSaw ponies on /b/ went to /co/ saw ponies there aswell, loved it
Newgrounds and various podcasts.
ReplyDeletethis... is only the beginning. SOON we shall have bronys gathering here from ALL ACROSS THE INTERNET. and soon, THE WORLD!!!
ReplyDelete...
THE REAL ONE!
I came from /u/
ReplyDeleteYeah, Rainbow Dash is mai lesbian waifu
@Thel
ReplyDelete>:3 Muahahahaha!
Friends sent me. At least one of them regularly visits /b/, so he got hooked there and then ordered me to watch it. And then here I am.
ReplyDelete@Daffodil
ReplyDelete(reply won't work for me for some reason)
Femmegasm and....crap what was the other one....I don't remember but it wasn't Shortpack or what ever heck it's name is, I don't like that one.
Knowyourmeme.com has a link to youtube from youtube I found a link here.
ReplyDeleteStarted out as a troll for these threads on /b/
ReplyDeleteI lasted 3 days before succumbing to the power of poni...
I would like to apologize to all of you.
@Anonymous Right back at-cha, mysterious sm.netter who I will spend hours racking my head over.
ReplyDeleteI should probably add that I have seen bits of friendship shrapnel here and there left over when /co/ explodes about something, but seeing a starmen topic being was the first time I actually considered watching the show. From there it was all up(down?)hill for me.
I came here from Internet memes
ReplyDeleteI actually simply managed to catch the series premier on the Hub, and thought, 'Huh, this doesn't look half bad.'
ReplyDeleteAnd thus an addiction was born.
A friend linked me to this, I'm sure she got it from /co/. I'm usually hanging out at MLPArena or DA.
ReplyDeleteAlso came from /v/
ReplyDeleteI don't actually remember how I got here, specifically. I think I was just clicking around Youtube and stumbled upon it.
ReplyDeleteBut there is something of a pony community hiding in a single thread over at the Giant in the Playground forums, and since that's pretty much where I forged my name on the internet, I count myself as being "from" there. Which is why I clicked other. *The More You Know*
/b/
ReplyDeleteI thought it was an elaborate form of trolling, but it was so frequent and went on for so long that there had to be something more to it.
I thought some of the images were funny so I went over to /co/ to see what the fuss was about. I got a link to the episodes, started watching, got hooked, here I am.
I'm from DA and I thought there will be more deviants here. Seems like I wee need some agitation work to be done on DA.
ReplyDeleteFound the show through PA forums, but I don't have an account there...follow the show on Youtube, but I haven't contributed any original content there...short story long, I'm just a wanderin' brony, homeless for now. =B
ReplyDeleteFurryArrancar, we are a small group but were okay with that
ReplyDeleteI came from /b/. Saw the threads one day and I lurked in them to save the OC and funny stuff (even the gore was new!). I didn't rage, I just lol'd at how futile the spammers actions were against the threads. I eventually watched the show on a stream, and I was sold after the third episode.
ReplyDeleteTruly amazing, these ponies are...
Rpg.net Other Media forums.
ReplyDeleteMy roommate collects the figures, so she started watching it when it first got aired. I saw Winter Wrap-up and nothing was ever the same.
ReplyDeletei came from the vg cats forum
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to that place anyway?
It seems to have dissapeared, with a ponville message in it's place... did ponies destroy vg cats forum?
i here come from mlp arena. its a cool place.
ReplyDeleteI come from a land down under.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though, I'm a lurker on /co/ who hopes to be a regular poster in the threads. As for any other locations I'm a regular in, I'm a writer on FA. I also have a DA account, but I haven't touched it in ages. Maybe I'll post any MLP fanfics I come up with on there, as I know there are bronies that would rather avoid FA.
I came from Know Your Meme, who I follow on Twitter. They did a blog about 4chan escalating the spread of ponies: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic
ReplyDeleteI hail from the Twilight Sucks forum. To make a long story short the mods started a war among themselves. I allied myself with the pony faction because I love cuteness and friendship and shipping potential. Then I watched the first episode and the rest is history.
ReplyDelete^ Twilight as in the book series, not Twilight as in the pony. ;) Twilight the pony is awesome.
ReplyDeleteOne of my teachers works on the show, so I went around to watching it. It had such great art and story direction that I fell in love with MLP instantly. Then I found out it had a lot of fans. I come from no website at all!
ReplyDelete@Sethisto
ReplyDeleteScott nuked it. I wasn't a member, but I found an explanation from an ex-member over at deviantArt. Short story long, e-drama happened, but not a ponycalypse.
A few of the members have reconvened elsewhere. I imagine some of the VG Cats FiM crowd is over there by now.
And I'm guessing the "RIP PONYVILLE" message is hinting at said crowd, which was growing nicely - never mind that Pinkie Pie & Applejack popped up in a recent VG Cats strip.
@Adrian Brony
ReplyDeleteOf course you're forgiven. I mean, it's not like you made it night forever, or anything. :)
For my part, I, uh... saw a few pics on *coughRule34cough* and kinda went, huh, guess I'll check that out... and after one episode I was impressed that a parent would be able to watch this with their kid without committing seppuku. After two eps, I was hooked. I found Equestria Daily using Google. :)
I was on Youtube and found that Epic(7 artists) AMV. The scenes used and the high quality of the video was enough to get me to watch the first episode. Then the next, and soon enough I had watched up to Sonic Rainboom, in a single marathon viewing. Needing more, googling brought me here. This site is now in my bookmarks.
ReplyDeleteI'm from Equestriaforums.com
ReplyDeleteDiscovered it through Something Awful. Comfirming what's alread been said, ridiculous amounts of reports sent to mods from pro- and anti-pony goons apparently made it more trouble than it was worth. So it's been given the boot from there for now. Oh, well.
ReplyDeleteDiscovered it throigugh a friend, and joined EQUESTRIA FORUMS!
ReplyDeleteIT'S A PONY-RIFFIC FORUM FOR MLP! YAAAAAY!
Nobody else from /furi/? Pretty sure this site is linked there quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteGot into ponies from Know Your Meme when it was on their front page and I'm also pretty sure that's where I first clicked the link to this place.
ReplyDelete/b/, and i do not condone their asshattery
ReplyDeleteNo one else from Reddit? Just me then.
ReplyDeleteI came from tumblr.
ReplyDeleteI saw an adorable fluttershy gif of her being scared of her own shadow and had to check the cuteness out.
I'm surprised there aren't more people from KnowYourMeme.com
ReplyDeleteknowyourmeme.com
ReplyDeleteI would have said YouTube, 'cause that's where I first heard this site mentioned.
ReplyDeleteKnow your meme
ReplyDeleteI am a straight guy and i got came from a very brief "curiously girly" phase right around when previews of the show was shown on nicktoons and I watched an episode. I was hooked instantly.
