I was going to wait until I could find some information on it, but I can't seem to locate any!
Apparently ponychan is down, and has been since 3:00 AM.
It was probably just derpy breaking things or tripping over cables again. Hopefully it will all be up and running soon.
Looks like it's back!

ReplyDeleteinb4/co/butthurt
ReplyDeleteProbably parasprite hackers...
ReplyDeleteParasprite DDoS? Probably not....
ReplyDeleteany word on ponibooru?
ReplyDeleteYeah! It's been down for more than half a day now...Serosuly I feel sad. I MISS MY OATMEAL!
ReplyDeleteGah! I need it for my reviews! I need it for... hmm, guess thats it.
ReplyDeleteWhat ever shall we DO?!
D:
ReplyDeletenice to see they keep the ponychan status tumblr updated
ReplyDeleteI am going on a road trip tomorrow, so the lack of Ponychan is 20% more depressing. :(
ReplyDeleteIt can't be a ddos, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteA 502 can't be caused by a DDOS, but rather by a grave soft- or hardware failure. Maybe the company providing the root server has some proplems with the power...
Also please don't fight about /co/, jesus!
Most of us are former 4chan users, chill out.
Btw they were some nice Ponythreads on /b/ lately.
(Posting on /b/, till ponychan comes back)
I has a sad right now.
ReplyDeleteI miss /oat/.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteOh wait, never mind, my internet access was being buggy.
Anyway, yes, this is bad.
Anonymous strikes again?
ReplyDeletewasn't there an attempted raid by /b/ on /oat/ yesterday?
ReplyDeleteGood, it's not just me. Sucks though, I wanted someone to review my fanfic.
ReplyDeleteOh please, ponychan don't become the next FurAffinity...
ReplyDeleteOh,man.
ReplyDeleteWHAT IF EQUESTRIA DAILY IS NEXT!?
I'm sure everything is fine, but I'm waiting to hear back from our Admin. If I learn anything of value, I'll keep you posted.
ReplyDelete--!!RainbowDash
DoS it seems. but by who?
ReplyDeleteor bronies may have fucked it themselves on accident.
Im talking about "overly high traffic"
@Timber
ReplyDeleteHow are these sites or events even related?
FA is deviant art for Furries, with a BB.
Ponychan is a SFW Imageboard for Bronies.
Also, if a site 502's (what happens quite often, even to bigger servers)
how is that realted to furryness?
Hail Dorothy, the Wicked Witch is dead!
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteThere was an attack, actually it wasn't even an attack. Some troll from /b/ just made a thread going "hurr durr you guise are gey", he got banned in like a minute or something, so it couldn't have been that. Hopefully the website isn't in any drastic danger.
@Pegasi
ReplyDeleteFA goes down often and for a long time I guess.
Well, while we're here, I have a question. Anyone else who uses RSS for ED get a phantom entry titled "Some Words from the Staff: About Fan Fiction"?
ReplyDelete@!!RainbowDash
ReplyDeleteplease do. I miss my pnychan :(
and I have to leave tomorrow D:
And nothing of value was lost.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteI got that weird entry in my RSS too. Maybe they posted it and then quickly took it down?
No being able to do my imagedumps makes me a sad pony.
ReplyDeleteHow many time do I hve to tell you guys, that a 502 - Bad gateway can't be caused by a DDOS.
ReplyDeleteIt could be a hack, though. But not a DDOS.
By the looks of the pic Twilights on it it WILL be up soon
ReplyDeleteWe could go to 7chan or another chanboard's comic-cartoon boards. Gotta keep it clean though, just one thread, get what i'm sayin'?
ReplyDeleteCalm down you guys.
ReplyDeleteWhy do some people hate ponychan so much? True they are some weirdos, but ponychan is the most loving and supportive place in the whole interwebs. Funny how 4chan useres always claim that ponychan is werid. TAKE A FUCKING LOOK AT /b/ FOR FUCKES SAKE!
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteLOL SO FUNNAY JOKE
@Pegasi
This.
We have absolutely no reason to believe that this was an attack of any kind.
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteThe same Twilight that couldn't even fix a button on her dress?
OK, good thing it wasn't a DDoS...
ReplyDelete@Pegasi
ReplyDeleteNewsflash: It's all a matter of perspective. In my opinion, ponychan frequently IS weird. Just not necessarily the BAD kind of weird. If you read something you don't like, just ignore it. It works MUCH better then trying to convince people over the internet that your opinion > their opinion.
@Pegasi
ReplyDeleteI lurk ponychan sometimes, but I stay away from /oat/ for the most part. I can appreciate the whole "love and tolerance" spiel, but some people on ponychan just go way overboard with it. Honestly, I'd just like to find threads where I can discuss the show, and the newest fan art/music, etc. The "love and tolerance" demagoguing just isn't for me.
but hey, it's just my opinion, pony.
My stream is still open to all pony related topics.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteThe love and tollerance BS is all over this fandom. It's not like a ponychan exclusive. If you want my advice: Go to /pony/. Best discussion there.
Ponychan is great to cheer you up if you feel down and stuff. I know this sounds pathatic but it's actually ture. The only thing I kinda mind are the guys who are actually buying brushable ponies that don't look like the ponies from the show at all. OK, I just orderd the Twilight blindpack from ebay, but she actually looks like Twilight.
It should stay down forever.
ReplyDelete@Pegasi
ReplyDeletePonychan is kind of a huge hugbox, bro, and not everyone likes that; you should be accepting that by now, if you're so tolerant and stuff. Meh, but that's just my opinion.
Topic related: Welp! Didn't go there much, anywho, but my condolences to those of you that did.
I frequent /fic/ and /collab/ on Ponychan, and occasionally /media/. I don't see the hugboxes. I don't see the crazy "I love you you love me happy family" crap.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that's only on /oat/, /pony/, and other places in Ponychan. I'm content where I'm at.
I agree on the /pony/ remark, that's where I am the most often. As far as the love and tolerance comments, it's obvious to everyone here that we're nicer in pony threads then we were in other threads before MLP showed up. I like that. But, I was around for that alleged "raid" last night, and the two things that stick out in my mind are the rainbow buttfucking lions the "raider" posted, and the thread dedicated to forming an "action team" to help sad people. I mean, COME ON.
ReplyDelete@PirateKing2000
ReplyDeleteThat's your answer for everything!
(Seriously, I want PonyChan back!)
12.5 hours. I'm dying here without my oats
ReplyDelete@Anonymous"The same Twilight that couldn't even fix a button on her dress"?
ReplyDeleteWell Rarity Does have a clothing store whatever you whatever to call it but it is possible Twilight wanted to support Rarity's shop or a mission from Celestia or something also possible that another friend (such as cheerilee) asked her to fix a dress for her but was to busy or something a lot of possibilities i could come up with and i do not want to have to keep making up even more so ill just leave it at this
I want Ponychan back ¡¡¡¡ It feels so weird to post ponies in 4chan with all the gore, porn and stuff like that, please Ponychan come back ¡¡¡¡
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteHow is the raider relevant to the tenor of ponychan? Porn and gross stuff is forbidden, heck then don't even want cupcakes fanart.
Concerning the "Help sad people" thread: It seems kinda pathatic at first, but if you take a second look, you can see that there is nothing wrong with people helping others in need for support.
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteA big reason there's not much show discussion right now is because there is no show. Once season 2 rolls around it will be more show-geared again
no oats makes guyandsam go somthing somthing
ReplyDeleteand nothing of value was lost
ReplyDelete@Guyandsam
ReplyDeleteGo crazy?
@Starly
ReplyDeleteSo does the Escapist but I don't see anyone comparing that to FA
@ anon@3:05:
What are you, five?
/oat/ contains almost all of the negative stereotypes about ponychan. Sad/suicide threads, meaningless threads, immature people, attention-whoring, and occasionally hugboxing all occur there. Want to talk about ponies without dealing with "HURR DURR THIS IS THE (Popular user's) APPRECIATION THREAD, TELL ME HOW MUCH YOU LOVE ME HERE!"? Go to /pony/.
ReplyDeletePonychan is one of my favorite websites and I spend tons of time there almost every day, but I'm not touching /oat/ with a 10 foot pole.
Also, what's everyone's problem with people being friendly? I, like many other bronies, personally don't believe in the whole "Love and tolerance no matter how much of a dumbass the other guy is", but this shouldn't mean that we get to act like a douche whenever we want. I'm sick of people saying "Love and tolerance is retarded so that means we don't have any good reason not to be dicks"
P.S. Why can't we just acknowledge that other parts of the fandom that we don't like exist and deal with it instead of whining about it? I always see ponychanners complaining about how everyone that faps to ponies is a sick, disturbed fucker and bronies from all over the fandom complaining that ponychan is filled with weirdos. Whining about people will never make whatever you don't like go away and will only start more retarded drama.
Damn, I spent a lot of time writing that.
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteYou're right, of course! We just need to peacefully wait for it to become accessible again!
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteI don't see anyone rave about "love and tolerance" in /pony/.
I heard the admin committed suicide and it won't be up again.
ReplyDeleteI heard that Obama is a dinosaur.
ReplyDelete@BagOfChips
ReplyDeleteDude, I heard that too!
First dinosaur president, how sweet is that?
Today was a sad, boring day without PonyChan...

ReplyDeleteNot HaX it's a gateway problem. Ponychan was never down it was always there.
ReplyDeleteAny how it's back now.
and nothing of value was lost
ReplyDeleteWe rose from the darkest pits of /co/
