Ponies are popular. They're almost too popular, by now, in terms of keeping up with all the fan output. As a result, several quality pony videos have doubtlessly slipped through the cracks. Pinkamena is sad, knowing that those videos deserve another shot. This is that shot. This is their chance to shine at last. This...is Youtube catch-up. Details after the break.
The Youtube archive is up and purring, but even a catalog of over a thousand videos could stand to add an extra pony kick. This event of as-yet-undetermined duration looks to resurrect videos that, for whatever reasons, never made it onto Equestria Daily during their heyday. I'd like everypony to recall quality videos that, going by the archive, weren't ever posted to EqDaily. Send in their video links to Tekaramity@equestriadaily.com (and, for his sleep schedule's sake, please don't flood Seth with e-mails related to this event) for consideration. Lousy videos will almost certainly *not* receive consideration; discernment, rather, is the key here. Also, please do not send in videos uploaded in June or beyond. Only videos from May and before are eligible for this. The goal is to highlight overlooked videos that were somehow never captured by the ginormous tokamak that is the Equestria Daily media queue.
Now, I definitely realize the potential for pony overload. Going by comments left in the recent PMV discussion post, several of you are burnt out already. That's understandable, and I don't begrudge you for it. Just keep in mind that this event is open to *all* pony videos on Youtube - music, trailers, reviews, you name it. Feel free to keep up with this event or skip over it at your leisure.
Depending on quantity and quality of videos received, there may be multiple Youtube catch-up posts in the semi-near future. All that's left to say for now is this: Hop to it, pony fans!
Personal aside: 16,000,000! Amazing. Truly amazing. Thanks to everypony who has visited, contributed, laughed, and loved throughout the past 5½ months. You all have built one of the most incredible fanbases ever seen - and I love you all. ^_^ Quick note to each of my new coworkers...
Seth: Dude, it's cool. We got this! Just once, I beseech you, sleep all day. Ponies will be fine. Rock on.
Cereal: For science! Like the moon over / The day, your fabulous wit / Can't vanish for long. (SMRPG. Sorta.)
Phoe: You advocate squishy Tek? Fair deal! Then, here's squishy Tek. Hugs? Hugs. ~hugs~

This picture makes me wanna hug Pinkie so much.
ReplyDeleteI was one who has decried the overall quality in recent PMV posts, but I fully support this event! I don't doubt that there are a few (maybe more) diamonds in the rough, and since you have specified that there will be a little bit of quality control going on here, I eagerly await the results!!!
ReplyDeleteWas that pony anthology video ever shown on this site?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous Yes it was,EQD was the first site it was posted on.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea, especially since I probably missed a lot as well.
ReplyDeleteJust want to say a big thanks to both Seth and Tek for this. It pretty much amounts to painting a giant internet bullseye on themselves for email spam, so I appreciate the time it will take for them to review what will likely be a pile of new submissions.
ReplyDeleteKudos to you guys, a giant part of that 16 million is thanks to your sacrifices and dedication.
I love this website and everything it stands for!!!
ReplyDelete<3 Hugs for all!!!
Lovin the Pinkie Pie stuff on the page (:
ReplyDeleteI thought Seth or Cereal posted this until I realized otherwise.
ReplyDeleteYay a new overlord lol. Damn I love this place.
Nil Sine Tekaramity!
I like the idea. I'm sure some good ones have slipped through the cracks over the months.
ReplyDeleteNot that I know of any. I barely find the time to watch all the stuff on here, let alone explore further
Sad Pinkie Pie is still the most adorable thing ever. I almost feel bad about that.
ReplyDeleteI'm extremely picky about the PMVs I watch. I only like the high quality stuff: perfect lip sync, impressive use of vectors or new material added, or things like "Night of Pony" and "Friendship is Magnets". If it's some random song slapped together with MLP, or some kid crappily singing one of the songs, I don't watch it. If I do, I at least try to say "good effort", but it's still really painful to watch.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I'm hoping we strike gold in the coal mine :)
Love this fandom. Love this site. Love and deep respect for Seth, Cereal, Phoe and Tek for keeping everything together even as the load grows heavier with every passing moment.
ReplyDeleteThis really is the best place on the web at the moment. 16 million hits... 20 isn't far off now...
Yay :3
ReplyDeleteLOVE YOU, TEK!!!! ^_^
ReplyDelete-hugshugshugshugshugshugshugs-
Tek needs a ponysona like the others too
ReplyDeletei say zebra
@Sir Leadhead
ReplyDeleteAlready have one, drawn and colored by the amazingly awesome Frostheart The Siamese. She's one of my very best friends, and she has my eternal gratitude for designing my ponysona.
i was literally abotu to suggest this very idea, as I have seen maybe only 20 or so videos, which isnt many considering the site links to maybe 20 a day
ReplyDeleteAnd then Tek was buried in a horde of hugfriendly ponies. :L
