It's totally Scootaloo Day still. Lucky ass pony.
That's a huge number right there! It looks like we beat pretty much every expectation/forecast stated back when season one ended. Honestly I thought this site would be a ghost town by July. That sure as hell didn't happen.
Thanks to all the artists, musicians, authors, community leaders, and fans of the show out there! This fandom is becoming an unstoppable force! We had some rocky points with the media, but it seems like even they are slowly joining the herd.
And it was all because of cute, colorful ponies from a cartoon for 12 year olds. Social psychologists everywhere are probably completely baffled.
Now onward to Season two!
Also Doomwad wrote a song about this after the break!
And thanks to Karzahnii for the banner!
And a video of the counter!
*UPDATE* Posting for the 30million Contest will take place tomorrow!

ReplyDeleteYAY~
ReplyDeleteCongratulations EqD!
Here's to many more millions of pageviews!
I am so proud of all of you. Stay classy, bronies. Stay classy.
ReplyDeleteThat song was AMAZANG and the notes with it were probably even better :3 props to dat brony.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations EqD!
ReplyDelete@Gummy
ReplyDeleteFree Classy Cola?
'Tis an even better day to be a brony!
I still remember when this site reached 1 million views. *sniffle*
ReplyDeleteYay :D
ReplyDeleteSo if we hit 50 million do we get a little respect? :D
ReplyDeleteIs it just me or is the pagecounter getting faster as I watch?
ReplyDeleteHELLZ YEAH
ReplyDeleteMy goodness; I only started coming around here when it was at 20 million. Congratulations, Equestria Daily and awesome job, Bronies; You all amaze me every single day.
ReplyDeleteAnd so the legion gathers...
ReplyDeleteSoon the day of reckoning will come.
Can't stop us now we're having such a good time! We're having a ball! Can't stop us noooow!
ReplyDeleteI'm just bubbling over with pride here! Never had I ever thought I'd be part of something so amazing and powerful!
ReplyDeleteI hope that we have many years ahead of us to flex our combined muscle as a fanbase. Face it bronies, there's nothing we can't conquer! With the power of FRIENDSHIP!
YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there was a way to see how many views I contributed to that 30 mil. I pretty sure its near 1000
Dat video
ReplyDeleteTo me, it seems like things have picked up more and more, ever since season 1 ended. I have a feeling that, once season 2 starts, things will just explode. 100 million views doesn't seem like such a long shot to me, bet we see that by the end of the year if not sooner :D
ReplyDeleteAnyway, congratulations! :)
Congratulation.
ReplyDeleteALL I HAVE TO SAY IS YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Scootaloo is best pony <3
ReplyDeleteFandom: Seth, are you Equestria Daily?
ReplyDeleteSeth: Yes, Fandom, now we are a family again.
Fandom: EQUEEEEEESTRIA DAIIIILYYYY!
I remember when this site was sitting under five million, and that seemed at the time like such an amazing milestone... I suppose in the context of the time it was, but I don't think anyone could have imagined we'd be sitting here watching this site roll over to 30 mil. Mazal Tov, Seth, on an amazing accomplishment, and to the entire site and community that makes this place what it is, thanks. On to 40 and beyond!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteyay, thanks for creating such a wonderful site. I hope the the joy that you have given to us is returned in full to you some day :)
ReplyDeleteAWWWWWWWWWWWWW YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
ReplyDelete@Solar Flair
ReplyDeleteI lol'd
Whoopieeeee!!!! Congrats to the best site in all of Equestria!
ReplyDelete@NotAGoodUsername360
ReplyDeleteTHAT IS A BIG NUMBER!
And the compy... just peed my carpet.
That's pretty cool, but it needs to be about 20% of 100000000 views Scootacooler.
ReplyDeleteCan Scootaloo be the official pageview pony?
You know what this calls for?
ReplyDeleteCUPCAKES!!
:pinkiepie:
..I mean Equestria Daily, you guys rock, woohoo....
No anon is a beautiful thing
ReplyDeletecongrats from someon..errrr somepony who became a fan in july and found this wonderful place in august.
ReplyDeletejust one word could sum up the epicness and greatness of this moment
ReplyDeleteYay¡
@Sotha
ReplyDeleteNeeds to happen.
Heh, 30mil before the start of season 2, pretty sweet. Cheers, fillies and gentlecolts *lifts glass*
ReplyDeleteThis is the biggest milestone Seth ever reach. Way to go Seth! WATCH OUT WORLD BRONYS WILL TAKE OVER BY THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP AND MAGIC (and the help of the creators of MLP duh)
ReplyDeleteman, I remember when EqD had less than 5mil views.
ReplyDeleteWhat happens when we hit 99,999,999 views? Will it add a 100mil spot, or will it break the counter?
AWWWWWW YEEAAAHHH!
ReplyDeleteTo a billion and beyond!
@Flutterguy indeed it is the shitstorms are a less common thing now
ReplyDeleteOh forgot happy scootaloo day :]
ReplyDeleteI'd say the season 2 news gave that viewcount a little push. ;)
ReplyDeleteCongrats EqD!
we are pony
ReplyDeletewe are legion
30 million pageviews? /)^3^(\ SO AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteCongrazzles, all.
Couldn't have happened to a better site. Here's to 30 million more!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Equestria Daily!!
ReplyDeleteAnd this is just the first season. Come second season...
ReplyDeleteAlright, party's over.
ReplyDeleteThe Counter is Still going UP
I'm gonna predict that 50 million hits lines up with the Season 2 premiere.
ReplyDeleteThis will be aired on this weeks issue of Equestria Rave Radio
ReplyDelete30 million is great and all... buuuttt... I'd say let's aim higher. 100 million should be our new goal. Let's break the counter!
ReplyDeleteThat's a negative tone. Think more like Bon Jovi.
ReplyDelete30 million bronies -can't- be wrong (whatever, I don't know how many unique IPs have visited the website).
You guys realize the counter is a fake, right?
ReplyDeleteGratz
ReplyDelete@NotAGoodUsername360
ReplyDeleteTHAT IS A BIG NUMBER!
What am I gonna do?
Congrats Seth, Phoe, Cereal!
ReplyDeleteThis was the best way to end the most amazing weekend I've had in a long time.
"Social psychologists everywhere are probably completely baffled."
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of fact, Yes. Yes I am. Enough to accuse you all of witchcraft.
I can't believe how far we've come.
ReplyDelete@thecure
ReplyDeleteDamn. They're on to us... but it doesn't matter. It's already too late to stop us. Your science cannot beat our magic 'cause friendship is magic! Muhahahahahaha!
...Joking aside, I wonder as well how this whole thing happened. I've scoured my psych books but have come up with nothing.
So the most logical conclusion I can come up with is that a wizard did it. End of discussion.
I've always been curious about that counter... is it really counting views? It never seems to change the rate it counts?
ReplyDeleteJust wondering...
I think i first saw this site around 10,000 views.
ReplyDeleteNever thought it would become this big :P
30 million is one hell of a milestone, wasn't it just 20 million the other day? Ahh how time passes.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to everyone running the website, as you're all doing a fantastic job. From one freelance journalist to another you've pulled off something magnificent.
Wooo! Congrats Seth and all the blog ponies for this amazing achievement. Now onward to 40 mil and Season 2!
ReplyDeleteHoly moley, that's a lot of ponies!
ReplyDeleteI am simply thrilled that not only is this silly fandom surviving, but absolutely _thriving_!
It is absolutely amazing to see what the fandom has done in absence of new pony episodes. I am almost scared to see what the fandom will do with another season's worth of material. The results can only be epic beyond words.
*HUGE inhale* yay.
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, way to go at the 30 mil!! :D This is a proud day for bronies alike!!
30,000,000 views... Damn, And I remember the half-mil post... back then the fandom seemed so small.
ReplyDeleteNow... just DAMN, most sites don't get this many views in a YEAR, and we're only half a year in, and rapidly growing!
Minions! Fetch me my hat of Pure Celebratory Awesomeness!
ReplyDeleteIt's the one that distorts time and space in a manner similiar to a specific earth pony.
-No! Not the Applejack one!
-Yes, the Pink one.
*Put's it on*
IT'S PARTY TIME!!!!!
Memoirs of a Brony
ReplyDeleteCurrent Date: October 10, 2025
They have finally done it. The final vestiges of the unbelievers have been dealt with decisively. Rumor has it that one of the leader’s closest lieutenants watched the show on a smuggled in television and converted. His betrayal meant the end of the rebels. They were sent to the moon with all the others.
This means the world has now entirely been taken over by Ponydom. Friendship and magic now prevails. It happened so fast that many historians have been unable to keep track of events. I, however, was in the thick of it since the movement’s infant stirrings. In this book I shall do my best to chronicle the series of events that led to this outcome.
As I can best recollect, the takeover started with the leadership of a website known as Equestria Daily. Long before it became the world’s premiere source of TV news, it was the internet hub of the pony movement.
The date was August 21, 2011. The site had just received 30 million views…
Seth, I daresay that one you hit the 30 million mark you can't call it an Accident anymore.
ReplyDeleteIf it wasn't for Equestria Daily, I would no longer be following my little pony. I darn't go to any of the 'chan's or anything, so Equestria Daily is a safe place to visit constantly. You hide/put a warning on the porn, which is really nice. You have also converted this ex-fanfic hater. I don't think I'd be so 'Love & Tolerance' if it wasn't for the constant feed of good examples here. I used to hate furrys, now I politely disagree, and I only get in to flame wars for the mutual lols of the flamer and me. Not much, but better.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! so awesome! so much big stuff today
ReplyDeleteYay. Nice job for creating such a great website. The best thing is it will continue to grow since the community is expanding by the day :D Lets hope for good times for months and months to come!
ReplyDeleteWe almost made it everypony! We survived the poni-drought!
ReplyDeleteAnd we're almost to another 100,000 already.
ReplyDelete@David
ReplyDeleteSoo - two weeks from now? (Or will it be one week?)
This is totally the Best. Day. EVER! And it just keeps getting awesomer and awesomer!
ReplyDeleteAnd Seth didn't call me a 'chicken' this time!
Wow, 3 million! This awesome community and this awesome site just keep growing faster and faster. Congrats on three million views!
ReplyDelete30 million. Congrats, everypony!
ReplyDeleteONWARD TO GLORY!
ReplyDeleteONWARD TO LOVE!
ONWARD TO TOLERATION!
ONWARD TO 50 MIL!
Im so happy :D
ReplyDeleteCongratulation everybody, this is now larger than most news websites. And, Baring a massive drop in quality in season 2, this can only get bigger. So roll on 50 million, I think by then we will be our own minority group.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to Print/screen the 30m counter aswell, but I wasn't fast enough and the picture shows 30.000.001 :S XD
ReplyDeletecongrats! thats totally awesome. i can remember when the counter rolled over 20 mil.
ReplyDelete(mind you, that was only a month ago)
It's not for 12 year olds. When I was 12, a LOT of people would have made fun of me for watching My Little Pony. They act like they're 15 now.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate this banner. I appreciate things with the orange pony on top. Well done Equestria of the Daily.
ReplyDelete30 million? psh, lets go for 30 BILLION!
ReplyDeleteIt's chicken day! :->
ReplyDeleteCongrats everypony! Now... to 50 million!
ReplyDeleteI clicked about 10'000 times so far, therefore I assume EQD has 3'000 regular visitors.
ReplyDeleteWOOOO
ReplyDeleteYay!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations everypony!
ReplyDeletePonies rock, woohoo
Best Fandom EVER!
ReplyDeleteinternet pwnage, ponies rock!
ReplyDeleteI find it funny the counter still goes up even after I unplugged my Ethernet.
ReplyDeleteThen I looked at the source code and realized it's just a java app and not a real counter.
Sooooo fake views and fake milestones. Awesome.
Over 30 million (m bison "yes") & *success kid*
ReplyDeleteWell judging by where the user was during this epic occasion, I now am fully aware of ONE person who ships. lawl.
ReplyDelete@Unknown
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit curious to know how the counter works too. (Before I go tell my friends how awesome this fandom is that we achieved 30 million views.)
