• 4chan Pony Wars

    I figured I'd wait a few days to see if it was just another rogue mod causing trouble again, but apparently the issue continues to grow, now moving from /co/ to /b/.  

    (Someone on Ponychan)
    Regardless of the pony threads that are going relatively strong over there right now, it sounds like random bannings are still happening. 

    I'm not sure how 4chan's heirarchy runs, but moot was the one that fixed it last time, so moot is probably the one to contact this time.  There was even a rumor of an actual /pony/ board in progress a while back, but that apparently poofed. 

    If you do get banned, and don't know anything about proxies/rotating IP addresses, you might as well hit up Ponychan(Tame) or Fimchan(Clop). 

    I'm sure it will all blow over again eventually anyway as 4chan mods get bored.

    2. Again? Did see someone get banned though, so maybe it's really happening again...

      Oh well. It's not like the bans do anything.

    3. I remember the first 'war'... it was terrible, and Ponychan was taken down, and FiMchan was raided.

      But you know, nostalgia and all that...

    4. Silly 4Chan. Cancer is incurable! even with chemo and radiation the best you can hope for is remission.

      besides this cancer won't kill you. in fact it will significantly improve your life. Thou it may perhaps give you diabetes.

      seriously, just sit back in enjoy the wall of ponies that will soon inundate you.

    6. Of course you do realize, this means war.

    7. Eh. It's 4chan. It'll blow over. The mods seems to go through cycles of random bannings every few months. (Presumably they get bored so they start banning people for stuff they don't like, but then they don't like actually doing work so they go back to doing nothing)

    8. Wasn't a brony for the first "war" (can it really be called that? It's just a website...) and I don't really think this will affect me. 4chan is pretty much useless in my opinion, so let the mods do what they will. Now, I'm going to go admire Lyra in PANTS and look for an opportunity to use it as a reaction picture. Ta-ta.

      I never go to 4chan, but a good free program to use as a proxy/rotating IP is UltraSurf, just google it. That will get you around the ban.

    14. @showmetheblueprints
      Another way to get around that type of ban is to get a new IP address assigned by your ISP. If you have a router usually it will let you change the MAC address which will in turn assign you a new IP address. (This doesn't work with all ISPs)

    17. How can we learn to live as one
      How can we run from things we’ve done
      Could we ever let it go
      How can we learn to live as one
      Is there nothing left to follow

      How can we see
      Through another’s eyes
      How could we learn
      To sympathize
      Could patience protect us
      From the fall
      How can we see
      Through the blinding rain
      How can we leave this life of pain
      Could emotions hide the truth at all

      I guess this could also work for all the different sides of the fandom, from the rivalry of /co/ and ponychan, to the Nyx haters and the Nyx lovers.

    19. It's 4chan. With sites like EqD, Ponychan and Ponibooru... Who cares about 4chan? Why go there when you can chat about ponies undisturbed on these three sites which also happen to be insanely active.

      ReplyDelete
    20. I think this is one of those times when you need to sit back ask yourself: "Do I really care about this stupid bullshit?"

      Spoiler alert: the answer is no.

    27. Let them have their little tantrum. Its OK, We are tollerant of such things. Its not a rights issue, its simply someone trowing a bit of weight around. This is how we expect them to behave from time to time, and we have our own placces as well. Let them have their little hissy fits and pat them on the head as a "There there little /b board, we still wuv you" and they will quieten down again for a while

    34. Biding is a good idea, but I think we should attack. For fun. It's not like we'll lose anything if we spam /b/ with ponies right? Let's do it!!!

      (or /co/. Wherever the pony banning is most frequent.)

      ReplyDelete
    35. Am I the only one who facepalms that we even take it so seriously as to actually call it a war in the first place?

      ReplyDelete
    36. The funniest thing about this, I feel, is that one of /co/'s main gripes with Ponychan is the 'draconian' moderation system. Not the exact same situation as now, but still a little ironic.

      Please admonish me if this situation is not actually ironic.

      ReplyDelete
    37. Yeah, I was never interested in 4chan. Or any of the 'chans. They've always struck me as essentially hostile to anyone not a member of an accepted clique, said acceptances being subject to revocation or transfer at the drop of a pin.

      Way too much drama, as a result, for my taste.

      And it's not bronies have any reliance on 4chan at this point anyways.

      ReplyDelete
    38. Fuckin' saw this coming. First they wanted a 'general thread' at /co/ Look at what's happening now.

    40. @Anonymous Um, dude, they were talking about how people referred to this fandom as a 'cancer'. He meant this FiM 'cancer' according to them would improve their attitude.

      Relax, man, my mom almost died from cancer and my grandmother died from it, too. Don't take things too seriously :/

      Also - 4chan. No big loss. I'm not even surprised.

      ReplyDelete
    41. Seriously, we've expanded from 4chan so much that it hardly matters. In which case if it really DOES matter... Love and Tolerance my Bronies?
      Nothing has changed.

      Love and Tolerance, a moderator simply doesn't understand us yet.

      ReplyDelete
    42. Also I would refrain from using the words "Pony Wars" as header for this. Do we really want it to become a "war" anyway? More like some dickish mod is on a roll. Watch out.

      ReplyDelete
    43. I quote C.S. Lewis:
      Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves.
      To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.
      And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development.

      ReplyDelete
    44. People still go to 4chan for ponies? That's hilarious!

      ReplyDelete
    45. 4Chan is shit. It's been shit for a long time. It used to be somewhat entertaining shit (like a thousand years ago in internet time,) but it's not even that now. It's boring shit. I'm glad /co/ and /b/ introduced me to ponies, but as a whole, it's gone completely to shit. It was never good, but it was never this bad. Okay, the Gaia days were pretty bad. *shudder* But yeah, nice of the mods to go out of their way once again to prove MODS=FAGS.

    52. @Anonymous

      Me again, just wanted say I ain't even mad. Hell, I've hardly even been on 4Chan these past few months.
      That place is dead. It's gone beyond the walking dead to a corpse that has completely fallen apart due to decomposition and is just twitching under the hot sun. The wrong people got in years ago and they fucked it up. Child porn, the same gore spam over and over, pointless debates threads where the same arguments get repeated over and over, moralfags and other forms of cancer have turned it into a cesspool. I am having a hard time seeing why any self-respecting brony would even still hang around that place when there are much better hang outs. Do you really want to hang out among filth and vermin? Funny thing is, it took the introduction of ponies by 4Chan to make me leave 4Chan.

      ReplyDelete
    53. ^^ pretty much this.
      I haven't been to 4chan much in AGES, and ponies ironically made that more so because I had ponychan, EQD and DH to occupy my time with, amongst other things (ie real life hobbies)

      I check in many times a day, and I STILL don't get what the fuck is going on, because while I love the community, I don't really pay attention to the negativity at the edges of it.Because for the most part I realise it's people trying to incite flame wars and shite.

      In all seriousness, people need to grow up and move on. If /co/ bronies don't like EQD or ponychan (which is what I'm hearing from some corners, again no clue WHY) then they should make their own bloody chan or something. Not that hard.

      And honestly, I don't see what the problem is.
      so a 4 chan mod went a bit nuts. That's nothing new, it's not like it'll have any real impact on anything a while from now. The last one didn't. People were pissed for about a week or so and it was forgotten.

      ReplyDelete
    54. Lol 4chan politics. Why is this news again?

      It's only gonna get butthurt channers trolling butthurt bronies trolling butthurt mods trolling bronies.

      Lemme know if raids start happening. It'd have been better to ignore it before then.

      ReplyDelete
    57. To be fair the /co/ generals have been bad for sometime now. No show discussion and posting porn on a SFW board, can't say I blame the mods.

      Hopefully they'll pick up after Season 02.

      ReplyDelete
    58. @Henry O'Lool

      But it's 4chan! They're not non-bronies. They're...less.

      Ok, fine, good point. Need sleep. I'll talk more later.

      ReplyDelete
    59. @DeRockProject Because spamming is annoying, it's shit when you want to make a real point, won't change anybody's opinions (and is obviously just there to punish the victim), and a complete waste of fucking time.

    60. It seems everypony is actually getting tired of 4chan. What ever happened to taking love and toleration to heart?

      Anyways, it's bad to take 4chan seriously. At best it makes you feel disillusioned, at worst you end up like Jessi Slaughter. I know it's hard not to take an IP ban seriously, and I know trolls can be really good at garnering a response, but if you don't take the place too seriously to begin with you wouldn't care nearly as much about their antics.

      ReplyDelete
    61. So...what really did happen back in the day?

      Did /B/ start the war? They knew mods hate seeing ponies so they started trolling?

      ReplyDelete
    62. I enjoy /co/ generals.

      The atmosphere is enjoyable, to say the least. We're all bros.
      Disagreement? Sure, let's argue, but in the end we'll just sit back and enjoy ponies, share music, watch streams and the like.
      That's why I avoid Ponychan, because there you'll risk getting banned for 'paraspriting' because some teenager took the Internet too seriously.

      And quite frankly, I don't have an ounce of respect for the 'bronies'.

      ReplyDelete
    63. DONT POST SOMETHING THAT I DO NOT LIKE.

      Its fine if you want to post cute anime girls with big boobs and stuff. BUT IF YOU POST A CUTE PONY YOU GET BANNED.

      4chan policy. That place is horrible.

      "bronies" literally means fans of the show

      If you have no respect for "them" then you don't respect yourself.
      or you don't actually watch the show.

    66. @Anonymous It doesn't really mean that anymore. Nowadays it refers to the folks that enjoy the subculture more than the show, preach 'love and tolerance' and all that jazz.

      And the very reason I don't want to be associated with them is because I have self-respect.

    68. Eh, the first war was bad, because 4chan was basically the main brony community.

      Now we're all over the internet, so bans in 4chan really don't matter.

    69. Yeah, let's just stay out of this.

      ReplyDelete
    70. I dont see what yall are talking about go on /b/ pony thread top of the page no one is getting banned.

      ReplyDelete
    71. god that thing on /co/ was absurd. sure, the MLP generals needed cleaning up, but instead of doing that, the mod just started banning people at random, and eventually deleted the general thread.

      deleting the general caused massive confusion, and about three or four people made a new general to deal with it. instead of just deleting all but one thread, or linking others to a designated main thread, the mod went on a ban spree again and deleted every thread, causing the same problem to happen again when other people made new generals

      this went on for a while, until the mod finally got a single general going. this was soon flooded by people asking about all the bans (who were baned for "meta") and angry /co/ posters who were complaining about all the MLP generals (these people were not banned).

      and so it continued, every general being derailed or locked or deleted, and anyone questioning the bans were banned. the whole situation was created and horribly handled by the mod.

      ReplyDelete
    72. the comments here make me depressed

      why did we have to get so many retarded kids in this fandom

      ReplyDelete
    73. I remember getting into ponies the same day the random banning stopped on 4chan last time. From my knowledge, the 4chan mods can be massive trolls at times. I don't visit chans that much but just avoid 4chan till the mods stop having their little tantrum. I don't think anyone wants this to escalate like last time.

      ReplyDelete
    74. if MLP general really bothers people that much, why cant they l2wordfilter? that thing exists for a reason.

      the part that really stung about the /co/ bans were that people were getting banned for posting things not strictly related to ponies, or nsfw things. any thread containing posts like these were deleted. meanwhile, in every other general thread, the same stuff is happening. i mean, ban ponies if you want, but dont turn a blind eye to the other threads that do the exact same thing.

      oh well. the last mod that did this was fired. im hoping the same thing will happen here. moot's definitely going to do something about it. he's not going to alienate the majority of /co/'s traffic

      ReplyDelete
    75. Just wait for Moot to unban us. Then spam the mods with "You must be new here"

      ReplyDelete
    76. Wow we have some newfoals here freely dispensing some criticism. 4chan created the pony craze. "love and tolerance" that some people have picked up like a lifestyle? Nothing to do with the show, everything to do with counter trolling tactics on the harsh world of /b/.

      Before you judge the chans, I say have a little respect for your origins, especially if you just jumped on the bandwagon later when the pony fandom started to go the direction of the sonic fandom. Easy to turn around and judge. Maybe other people have some valid opinions too?

      ReplyDelete
    77. @Anonymous >when the pony fandom started to go the direction of the sonic fandom.

      As much as I don't want to accept it, I can see the main bulk of bronies going that way.

      Urgh...

      ReplyDelete
    78. I tend to stick to a few RPG related forums where the modding is very consistent and fair, so it's always a bit of a shock when I'm reminded that there are places like 4chan where the mods are a bunch of random goys, some of whom are douches, and they can just decide to f*&k with people when they get bored.

      I'll stick with my RPGnet and Giant in the Playground forums, thanks.

      ReplyDelete
    79. @Anonymous Like it or not, it is a very large movement away from your usual internet trolling. A very, very large deviation which definitely surprised everyone, thus the large reaction and movement towards love and tolerance. Finally there's something that we can believe in which would hopefully stop all the fucking retardism on the internet. Frankly, I'm sick and tired of all the bullshit the internet's been for many, many years, and I'm glad people are finally trying, at least, to respect each other.

      Then again, we don't really need your approval for every single thing that we do, so don't expect us to give a damn.

      -It's possible to have differing opinions without being a troll.
      -The main following of L&T seem to think that it's OK to put up with the most ridiculous bullshit.
      -The Internet will always have retards.
      -And it's not that hard to respect eachother without basing one's philosophy around an inexistent part of a cartoon.
      -I never mentioned anything about 'approval'. Don't put words in my mouth.
      -And if this "we" you talk about don't "give a damn", why did you reply?

      - Yes. But you just don't get it do you. We actually TRY to respect others. It's not perfect, but we TRY to be nice to different people.

Both /co/ and Ponychan suck, but At least you can talk and not be surrounded by "omfg 20% cooler lololz" losers or "i can do this in 10 SECONDS FLAT" nerds.

      ReplyDelete
    90. If you haven't been banned from 4chan at some point, YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG.

      The best way to handle this is to keep [b]one and only one[/b] pony thread alive in each of the relevant boards ([i]i.e.[/i] /co/ and /b/) at all times while maintaining the kindness we are known for (regardless of whether you actually think we embody it or not—it's a tool for trolling the trolls, if you need to think about it that way). If and when you get banned, circumvent that ban using above-described methods. Repeat until one side gives up enough and gets drowned out.

      The reason I say "one and only one" is that having multiple threads crosses the boundary between what is reasonable (despite the fact that you get banned for it) and unreasonable. Note that you are allowed to start a new thread if you hit the image limit or otherwise incur auto-sage.

      Horsefeathers, I forgot to sleep!

      ReplyDelete
    91. It's interesting how the mods haven't realized that we actually don't give a shit and will go back to posting ponies anyway...

      ReplyDelete
    92. BTW, this whole thread is lulzy.

      ReplyDelete
    93. Apparently the comment I was replying to has been edited or deleted. But I'll post anyway.

      I'm unsure about what you mean about "darkest corners of this bullshit". If you're talking about the trolls and retards on 4chan, /b/ in particular, the answer is yes. And it's why I stay away from that board unless I'm compelled to go there.

      What wide debates? Do you have any particular ones in mind? I've seen some, but I've also seen a load of 'you must love and tolerate, don't go against the groupthink'.

      What change? Maybe you're just unlucky when it comes to communities, I don't know. I've joined several websites where people don't troll just because, and there are lots of genuinely nice people there. And guess what? Love, tolerance or anything similar isn't part of these communities, people there actually know how to treat a fellow person well without having it shoved into their faces. The FiM fandom seems to be a mix of trolls and cool folks.

      I'll just agree to disagree, anything else seems to be pointless.

    96. Okay.. so like one day, at magic camp.. Seth and I came upon Trixie behind the dining hall. It was so hot out.. you could fry an egg on the sidewalk. Well, Trixie.. she found the hose and was cooling herself off with it. Man, she looked soooo fine all dripping wet like that. So, before she could run away, Seth jumped her and held her down, making sure she couldn't scream for help as he unzipped and stuck it in her face. 'Take this hose, bitch!' he said as I slipped in behind her and....

    97. It would probably be better to not to post articles about things like this.

      It just starts arguments and isn't needed since the people that go on 4-chan would already know about it and the rest of us shouldn't care what goes on at another site.

    128. I've been clean from 4chan for about a month. I quit immediately after this incident:

      There was a pony general thread of moderate quality, not bad, not particularly interesting. Some discussion. In come the gore/CP spammers, destroying the thread. So, a new pony general thread is started. Mods get butthurt that there are 2 "horsefucker" thread on the front page, even though one was a lost cause, technically becoming a CP thread. So everybody posting in the new thread gets slapped with a ban.

      Then I discovered EQD and /r/mylittlepony. Never went back.

I mean, this all started on 4chan, and after the first pony flamewar, we just left and spread elsewhere all over the internet. Isn't that....fine?

    158. You report this as if we (the EqD readers) actually SHOULD post on 4Chan, lol. We've got plenty of outlets to waft in fanatic love. It made sense for MLP to become the subject of many image macros there at first, and it makes sense that it got oversaturated and the mods had to lay down some ground rules. But now we have ponybooru and ponychan, as well as dozens of #Groups exclusive to the deviantArt community...4Chan may have been the origin of many bronies and is owed a lot of credit for putting MLP in its current meme status, but now that the fandom has this momentum, the fandom can survive quite healthily without 4Chan.

      Imagine the fandom as some 18 year old kid whose dad gave him a lottery ticket for his birthday, and when he won the jackpot, his parents got tired of him lounging around the house and kicked him out to live in his own mansion next door.

      ReplyDelete
    165. It seems like it's been cleared up, though.

      The rule of thumb is "Keep it to one general, use marker image, no meta posting" yadda yadda yadda.

      In other words, the mod was saying, "Keep doing what you have been doing for the past few month, but I'm going to randomly 404/lock this thread and invite five people to make new generals because I'm an idiot who doesn't know what he's doing."

      Not to mention he basically invited meta-posting because of his inflammatory comments and, of course, deleting or locking threads with no real provocation or response to our questions as to what was done wrong.

      I'm sure that, if anything, it was a new mod who was jealous that he didn't get a chance to do anything to pony threads in February, so decided to whore for attention and wanted us all to suck him off to satiate his sense of self-worth.

      It's kinda funny how it backfired; he tried to start the new "Ponyfag Trolling and Genocide" phase so late in the game, but failed horribly because by now, everyone, even the relatively newer individual who arrived after the initial Pony bans, was so used to it by now and knew how to circumvent bans or go to other places.

      In the end, nothing worth wasting your breath over. These matters come and go, and if it happens again it's not exactly secret knowledge how to overcome it.

    167. It's just a rogue mod flinging feces, and so the other mods decide to mimic his actions and throw their own shit, thinking that it will go better than it did the first time they did this, after the fanbase was give five whole months to expand. We already knew that the one mod on /co/ was a massive newfag (didn't even know about the archive, which is seen on the front page a billion times a day), and moot is cool with it. Eventually, moot's going to slap them upside the head which will keep them quiet for a few months, and then promptly dick around with one of the major boards by changing the name to something pony-related, like last time.

      And four months later, it starts all over again. And again. And again.

      Let them run 4chan with their hateful, prejudiced, and whining mods and members. Seriously.

      I think 4chan represents a big historical value to our fandom, but the overall impact of 4chan on the internet has not necessarily been important. In fact, a lot of the most moronic and retarded crap that leaks onto the internet comes from 4chan, so I guess what I'm saying is, let the whiny preteen 4chan members have their 4chan. We have ED, Ponychan, FIM-chan, and a ton of other support from websites like KYM, YouTube, and DeviantArt.

      No time for war. Let them live their lives in the dark corners of their hate, however if they try to attack our sites, then...

    170. Are they banning pony talk from /co/? That would be unfair, if it is true.

      But banning from /b/? Meh. /b/ is supposed to be for random, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were mods/janitors that were not pony-friendly. If you're posting ponies in /b/ you really are just trolling, so you get what you deserve, in my opinion.

      Regardless, you're wasting your time if you're taking your pony discussions over to 4chan anyhow outside of /co/. There's plenty of other sites like Ponychan that work just fine.

      I'll agree that calling this a "war" IS rather stupid... but not enough to bother me. Going to /b/ and /co/ now, and see what the big deal is.

      Though, in my eyes, 4chan is about the lowest place in the Internet, even below the averge YouTube commenter.

    180. A decade ago, when I used to browse Portal of Evil just for amusement, I speculated that the baser elements of the internet will one day encounter an Outside Context Problem - something that they would not know how to deal with, for it would be against everything that they stood for. Something both aesthetically accomplished and morally positive, with elements that would repulse those who have had their heads in the sewer for so long that they would shrivel and implode under the sunlight. Something whose very existence would whip up their simian psyches into frenzied paranoia that would make the sane glare at them in puzzlement. Something that they would constantly draw attention to while loudly reviling, unintentionally drawing in masses of curious new fans who would look back at them knowing that *they* are the true freaks for staying in the sewer howling at the sun.

      I am both grateful and amused to find my prediction coming true.

    187. ... I think the latest posts in EqD are sure examples of why anon posting should stop right the fuck now. "Extreme retarded flaming entertainment fun" should only extend toward whiny preteens in youtube, whiny preteens in DevArt, whiny preteens in LJ, and whiny preteens in real life - not whiny preteens with ponies. It'll at least nip it at the bud.

      I mean a guy can't take too much asshole entertainment all in the same day! Sometimes you just gotta relax and take a break from laughing at the stupid shit, y'know?
