I don't think this is a blog anymore. In fact I think it stopped just being a "blog" within about a week. This is more of a fanfiction/video/comic/drawfriend archive with a blog on the side. I'm not even sure what it officially classifies as, but I like it.
Community Content
My original plan was to just post stuff I liked, and I thought for sure it would bomb in a day or two. You guys changed that outlook quick! The topic may be addicting as hell, but not even ponies could spur me to do something for this long with so many hours thrown in without an awesome community backing it.
One thing I realized within a week of this site was that I didn't want to become a supreme dictator asshole who controls everything, and I've had some rough patches here (mainly yesterday with the m/m fiasco).
If I do/say something completely ridiculous, or my sarcasm comes off as harsh, please don't take it personally. I have always had issues with mindlessly blurting stuff out without thinking of the consequences.
With that being said, feel free to send feedback/fixes/stuff through email. Remember, everything I submit is stuff that you guys have done (minus news). These are "your posts", I'm just here keeping it organized. If something is out of whack, email me and I'll fix it!
ORGANIZATION!
I really need a ring tone of that from Winter Wrap Up... This part is primarily going to be about fanfics, since that's the main item that is organized daily.
The Star Tags were rocky, but honestly I think they are starting to shape up. I don't find myself dropping ten 5 star stories into the archive every time now, and stuff that is generally unfavorable tends to receive lower ratings. A lot of the content is just genuinely...good. This community has some awesome writers, even if Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy HAVE been shipped 10 times in the last 2 weeks.
There are, of course, two places to find stories. My archive, and Fairy Slayer's Sortable Archive. So if you absolutely hate my massive web 1.0 color coded list, check his 2.0 version out! Hopefully between the 2, everything stays easy to browse.
Drama!
It's fun!
Ponies!
They are cute!
tl;dr
I hit that 5 paragraphs ago!
Anyway thanks for being awesome and putting up with my nonsense! Hopefully I haven't scared too many people off with my shenanigans. This website would be absolutely nothing without you guys constantly sending me content, so thanks for that! I may complain about it on /co/ every once in a while, but having an email box with 50 things to sort through is usually a good thing!
And the "Real" 1 million hits image, Oh the drama it would have caused... I still feel like I'm missing out some!
80 kommentaari:
For what it's worth, I think you're a central pillar to the community and it wouldn't be anywhere near as good without you, so thank you. :) Here's to 1 million more.
VastaKustutaI'd like to take this moment to thank you Sethisto for doing so much good work and giving us a place to come to after a hard day and check about the latest poni information.
VastaKustutaAwesome all we need now is 1.000.000 cupcakes.,
VastaKustutaA million of clicked pages, a great start but we can do better... 5 mill or bust!
VastaKustutaSo....
VastaKustutaWhy do you guys like My Little Pony anyway?
It's a cartoon for little girls!
oh lawdylawdy again! lol at that image. No wonder you changed it!
VastaKustutacongrats on a cool million, and just remember there's no way you can please all of the ponies all of the time. If it's worth it, I enjoy the titilating far more than the outright pronz. I'd put the more explicit stuff somewhere else though, but that's just me. If you're going to post f/f then you might as well post m/m...
Keep up the awesome work^^ without you i'd have no organized pony news >.<
VastaKustuta@Pacce
VastaKustutaPsh, I dunno, guess these guys are a bunch of dweebs or something.
Hip hip hooray its...1 million get pony day!!
VastaKustutaI'm glad I found this blog when I did. Now I dont bother going to 4chan to get my pony fix =3
Thanks for everything Sethisto, the fact you put up with all the pony even after a hard day of work is staggering. And update through the day too! Its amazing!!
=_= This is why I have...lets just say a large amount of fics stuffed in one stack of tabs. I dont think I wanna count right now.
@Anonymous
VastaKustutaWe may also be possible flip-flops too.
To honor the day I spammed my MLP Account with Facebook pictures!
VastaKustutaI freaking love that 1mil hits pic. <3 Seriously though, congrats again, Sethisto! :D
VastaKustuta500,000 balloons for everyone! (Because I yoinked half of them from the other post.)
Blessed be the Cube Brony,
VastaKustutaArchiving works of many ponies.
@Anonymous
VastaKustutaJust a bunch of lame-o flip flops.
A Pinkie Pie party Equestria Daily layout?! Now THAT'S worth celebrating!
VastaKustuta...Just kidding. Congratulations on 1 million hits! You and all the ponies deserve it. :)
@Pacce
VastaKustutaSounds good to me =D
Who would have thought, eh, cccd?
VastaKustutaWho would have thought....
Needs about 20% more hits
VastaKustutaSo that's what he wouldn't stop snickering about. Cereal, I am very, very ashamed.
VastaKustutaI still lol'd though.
I'd like to echo the sentiment of thanks. This community is one of the funnest I've seen (granted it's still in its infancy but let me have this okay) and it simply wouldn't be the same without your work. When I saw the posts about the m/m conflict yesterday I thought it was going to be another case of someone being an unmoving statue but the fact that you didn't "cave" so much as listen just goes to show how much you care about this community. For what it's worth, I think you made the right decision.
I toast my breakfast to you. Here's to another million ponies.
i remember when we made a HUGE deal out of 300,000
VastaKustuta. it makes me so happy ;_;. keep up the good work
WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!
VastaKustutaCongrats Blog Borny! 1 Million hits! Who would've imagined!
*Brohoof*
One million already. God I'm glad I was here for it.
VastaKustutaWell this is a bit epic isn't it?
VastaKustutaAdd me to the list of congratulators, we got here a little faster than I expected; it's not saturday yet! So, should we all aim to break 5 mill before the end of season?
VastaKustutaWow...
VastaKustutaThanks goes also to You Sethisto for all Your hard work. We really, REALLY apreciate it!
Now it's time for 1,000,000 more!
VastaKustutaHowever, very awesome work uniting the community. It's all got to count for something, am I right?
Congratulations on a job well done and this site's prosperity!
VastaKustuta(...but good gravy, the Pinkie! It burns ^^;)
I just want to extend a huge thank you to Sethisto for maintaining this website. It's my primary way to actually get anybody to even take a passing glance at my mediocre work, and it provides me with a great way to get feedback. It's also one of the better ways to really keep up on what's going on in the community. It can be easy to miss stuff, but Sethisto is always on top of it!
VastaKustutaSo thanks loads, Sethisto. I don't know what I would do without this website.
...probably get back to work instead of looking at ponies. Confound it.
You totally rock! It's like the Huffington Post of Equestria. I pass by here at least twice a day for news when I'm not working. Another thing I especially like is that since this is BlogSpot, I can use OpenID to comment. 1,000,000! *yaay*
VastaKustutaJust wanted to add in my thanks Sethisto, what you did with this site is awesome, its a easy way too access so much pony. Keep up the good work, we all appreciate you here.
VastaKustutaThis fandom is the best ever
>1000000
VastaKustutaYAY
Pinkie Pie everywhere! Its a real party.
VastaKustutaBEST DAY EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
VastaKustutaCONGRATULATIONS EVERYPONY!!!!!!!!
Wow. 1 million hits. Amazing. Fantastic job on the blog Sethisto! Here's to many many more millions to come.
VastaKustuta*brohoof*
I just want to give my thanks, for the time and effort you put into this blog. You've given me something to look forward to in my daily life. This place means a lot to me champ.
VastaKustutaMan, I remember when we celebrated a tenth of that. Holy crap, that felt like two weeks ago, for real!
VastaKustutaDude, Sethisto, thanks for... what's something no one else has said... Thanks for being such an awesome role model! Let's go for another million, eh?
Also, dat picture. BF
Congratulations, you've certainly earned all the success this site has had, Sethisto!
VastaKustutaOnwards and Upwards!
Awww, I forgive you for the m/m thing seth!
VastaKustutaCongratulations! I really appreciate all the work you put into this site. It's one of the best fan sites I've ever seen, without a doubt. Here's to many more--just don't burn yourself out!
VastaKustuta@frith
VastaKustutaHoofington Post, maybe? And that green guy attached to Pinkie's tail? An aggre-gator?
Sethisto, you are amazing. You practically pulled the community to one location and give us a one stop shop of everything from news to fanfics. You keeping up with the blog for so long is astounding and I congratulate you for that. You have stuck by us though thick and thin, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate that.
VastaKustutaI don't know what this community would have been like if this blog wasn't put up. Honestly this blog has been the center of most the community(this is from what I can tell anyway). Without it (especially after the 4chan fiasco) would have probably dispersed by now. Thanks for keeping the community alive.
You are awesome, and keep it up!
Holy fucking what. Well done guys. This community is spreading like a wildfire..
VastaKustuta>CUPCAKES TO ALL!
Congratulations :D
VastaKustutaI hope this brings in more bronies.
I don't really know what to say so:
VastaKustuta*inhalesdeeply*
yay.
This is awesome! I wore my Pinkie Pie party shirt in honor of this day.
VastaKustutaThis is fantastic. I only wish I was there when the number finally turned, but so is life. Congratulations Sethisto, you have put a lot of work into this, and I hope that this day stands as a testament to how much we appreciate it. Thanks for everything!
VastaKustutastupid sexy trixie >:(
VastaKustutawhywingboner.png
hey seth! maybe you can get some money with advertisements on this blog. and then you can give the money to charity
VastaKustutaA momentous occasion indeed, I only regret that I wasn't able to witness it.
VastaKustutaThank you for creating a place where we can gather for the purpose of sharing the greatness that is FiM.
*brohoof*
I never thought I'd see the day.
VastaKustutaThanks for putting up with us, Seth. Our crazy, our eccentricities. You've created lightning in a bottle, here. More than that, though, you've given all of us a great place to call home. All of your hard work is appreciated by every single one of us, myself doubly included.
congrats on that 1 million hit thing! here's to many more!
VastaKustutaCongrats first off!
VastaKustutaSecond, that after cut one million hits Trixi pic made me LOL even if I don't get the whole "ponies in panties" thing.
Third.. M/M fiasco?
One million hits?! Aww man, I was sleeping when this happened. ;-;
VastaKustutaWell, congrats on one million views. :D
This is the best skin forever and ever. Also, lol @ hitting 1mil hits, what, a week after hitting 500k?
VastaKustuta>that trixie image
If I hadn't just put down my soda I would have choked.
m/m thingy its nice with a warning but honestly i stop'd caring since their pony's the story was pretty ok.
VastaKustutaheres to a million more o7
We love you, Sethi. <3
VastaKustutaThis is the only blog I've ever deemed worth subscribing to, and so far I don't regret it at all.
FUCK YES EQUESTRIA DAILY
VastaKustutaCongratulations. I am glad RainbowFlowers could be a part of this community and achievement.
VastaKustutaHahah.
VastaKustutaWhat gets me is that you're already making a "If it weren't for the wonderful community I wouldn't still be doing this." speech in, what? Less than two months, certainly. Has it barely even been a month since you started this?
And already, making a 1,000,000 visitor post, talking about how great everyone involved is.
I'd like to take a sec I should spend working to add my congratulations and thanks. Nothing makes me quite as happy while at work than hearing the "yay" from my phone telling me there's a new post on ED.
VastaKustutaDAMN YOU, SLEEP, I MISSED IT! Kudos to you, Seth, and on behalf of everyone here, your ball-busting day in and day out is truly appreciated. That being said, we're already 1/100th of the way to 2m!
VastaKustutaKeep up the amazing work and don't be afraid of m/m.
VastaKustuta~Scratch
You're a crazy bastard. Still, if it wasn't for you, I don't think the community would be half the force it is today.
VastaKustutaThank you so much for keeping up with all of the shenanigans, and keep up the good work!
I come on here every day, waiting for that new story or drawfriend with excitement. I honestly never read book, and the thought of it makes me frown, but when those pony fanfics are posted on here, I read the whole story.
VastaKustutaI have read more just from these stories than I probably have read my whole life.
So if anything, I thank you for this.
also congratz
Fuck yeah 1 million hits!
VastaKustutaCongratulations on 1 million hits, Sethisto! And thank you so much for keeping this place running, organized, and updated. I love coming here, and this fandom is truly amazing.
VastaKustutaAbout that 1 million hits image.
VastaKustutaI'd hit that 1 million times.
Yeah "Felicidades" for the 1,000,000 mark.
VastaKustutayay.
That RD picture is perhaps the best episode screencap ever
VastaKustutaGreat work! Love to check the videos, comics and polls here ^__^ Keep up the good work and up to 1 million hits more!!!
VastaKustutaI rlly looooove the design update for this 1 million hits party time :D
This place grows at a terrifying rate. And you are a much better pony than I, Sethisto, for managing to hold this all together as well as you do. If I had been the one to do this? With all the encouragement from the community, I might have made it a week before setting myself on fire or becoming a tyrannical dictator. Or both. I don't know how you do it.
VastaKustutaBut you give everypony a gathering place and a one-stop archive for every piece of creative fanwork regardless of format. And its incredible. And pretty much solely responsible for rekindling my passion for writing for the public. It's a wonderful site, a wonderful community, and you should be proud. Everyone should be. Here's to another million. Although I will confess, the next number I am looking forward to is 1,111,111.
This PAge is so awesome it totally deserves the 1Million Views.
VastaKustutaCongratulations...!
Yay blogpony!
VastaKustutaEQUESTRIA!
VastaKustutaWE SHALL CELEBRATE WITH THIS! PINKIE ALL THE WAY 8D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIQK_RRSJ3E
YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
VastaKustutaONE MILLION HITS!
How long before this is no longer a big deal?
VastaKustutaI miss the old banner.
I'm a few days late in congratulating, but it's worth it! I feel quite honored to be part of what might just be the coolest fandom ever (yes, at least 20% cooler than any other.) It's just plain awesome to see so much community and camaraderie based on mutual pony love. I gotta say, I've been with the show from its beginning, and when I watched the first episode on the Hub's site I had no idea of how explosively popular it would become. But having everything pertaining to MLP scattered in various places is annoying. Many thanks to you, sir, for being--well, the hub of it, and collecting and condensing all the lovely news, fanworks, etc., into one well-organized spot. Can't praise your efforts enough, and so glad you decided it was worth sticking with. It still feels kinda surreal, knowing how many other full-grown people are literally obsessed with this "little girl cartoon." So, cheers!
VastaKustutaWe need a 1,500,000 cupcakes.
VastaKustutaThe other 500,000 is in case Derpy comes along.
I was sent here from a comment in the 100,000,000 views post.
VastaKustuta@ReadToasts
VastaKustutaLOL, and I sent you! :D
Dat stupid sexy Trixie! /)O_o(\
She did it!
