First Annual Herd Census
Have some Copy Paste:
Have you ever wondered how many of your fellow bronies live in your area, or are your age? Are you the only one who's been watching since G1? Does anypony have a PhD? Well, wonder no more, because the First Annual Herd Census is under way!
Answer 10 simple questions about your bronydom and yourself (all responses entirely anonymous, of course), and help paint an accurate picture of the herd as it is today. We'll tally up the results submitted by January 15th, and then release the State of the Herd Report, revealing such juicy data as age and geographic distribution, favorite pony, and more! And the information gathered this year will help track changes in the herd from year to year as well. Enough data to make even Twilight Sparkle happy!
To take the census, go to:
It should take less than five minutes to fill out. If you can spread the word to everypony you know, that would be great too!

Singapore Meetup
Have some copy paste:
Over 40 bronies from the Singapore Bronies Society hustled over to a friend's place on Dec 30th 2011 for some end-of-year barbeque fun. It was a simple gathering, mostly to catch up with each other, discuss ponies and share artwork. Even a few members who couldn't make it to the party joined in via Skype. Great grilled grub was had courtesy of a few talented chefs among us, and at night some of us chose to chill out with a fun-filled Marvel vs Capcom 3 session, while a few others decided to take a dip in the pool. Everypony left late at night reluctant for it to end, but fully satisfied at another successful meetup here in Singapore. Pictures can be found here and here!
We at the SBS want to wish everypony out there a fantastic 2012 up ahead! Here's to more glorious ponies, and freedom forever to the Internet!

Vegas bronies ftw
ReplyDeleteWOO! The roundup appeared right when I came back
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty cool tattoo. It's got to be at least a fifth cooler than the last one I saw.
ReplyDeleteLuna looks adorable, despite everything, and Derpy looks fantastic too.
ReplyDeleteCensus time! I love these kind of surveys.
Talk about late, I was about to head to bed ;P
ReplyDeleteI'm in the middle of that survey right now!
ReplyDeleteThat Rainbow Dash tattoo is fantastic. It looks great!
ReplyDeleteI'm aiming to get a tattoo (I want to get Dashie's Cutiemark on my left shoulder), but I'm waiting three years before getting it. If in three years I still want it, I will definitely get it!
...aaaand our Steam group gets another shameless plug :D
ReplyDeletePony survey is best survey
ReplyDeleteHey now how is the largest SWtOR pony guild number 2? That makes 0 sense.
ReplyDeleteI keep trying to think of scenarios of what could be going on in that picture.
ReplyDeleteFinished the survey and cool Dash tattoo. Always wanted one but never been sure what to get.
ReplyDeleteFINALLY! Now I can go to sleep...
ReplyDelete@Bronyoff i've been stuck in vegas for hours today, and have been driving home ever since. My flight got cancelled. Fsidbthdodjebryxuske!!
ReplyDeleteBrony census-what?
The census only has two gender options. :/
ReplyDeleteNot so happy with the survey, every single US state is an option, but Europe only counts as one option? Ah well...
ReplyDeleteYou know what would be interesting? A map where every one could just click where he lives. That would make it easier to organize meetups. I would also like to know where there are more people from switzerland for example...
That census seems to be suggesting that Europe and the Middle East are countries...derp.
ReplyDeleteIs the list of favorite characters in random order? If so, why, instead of alphabetical order?
ReplyDeleteAdditionally, the criteria for inclusion seems totally arbitrary. Why Cheerilee but no Granny Smith? Why Trixie but no Gilda? Why Derpy at all, when the only things going for her are visual gags and fanon? I think the favorite character options would be best if it was restricted to the mane 6 and no others.
Great, a second local meetup I miss, at least this time I knew about it. Excellent timing to fall ill...
ReplyDelete@Acriaos There's a UK blog that does a Google Maps thing.
ReplyDeleteMight be worth doing something similar and sending it to the blog ponies.
I can't believe the Helsinki Brony Meetup still hasn't been featured. There was about 90 people there.
ReplyDeleteEvery single US and Canadian province is mentioned, but all of Europe and the entire Middle East are both one option? Nice to see you taking into account the huge differences between countries in those region. I'm sure the Iranians love how they've been put in the same category as the Israeli, to name an extreme example.
ReplyDeletewhy wouldn't they set the entherlands on that task thingy well...ooh yeah becous it not thta populair. forgot aboutt that there are like 1000 bronies in the netherlands (full bronies) the you have the broneis that onlt watched the fanmake videos (pmv etc) still..i ahve to buy some merchendise
ReplyDeleteSo lonely here in Spokane Washington... I am beginning to think I am the only Brony on this side of WA. =( I wish I could have gone to a meetup.
ReplyDeleteThis census will fail. A free SurveyMonkey survey can only have 10 questions and you can only read the results of the first 100 completed surveys. The fact that there ARE 10 questions in this one and that the questions have at times been poorly decided in terms of options suggests strongly that this IS a free survey. Expect to never hear of it again, or hear of it very soon as having been moved to a new survey hosting site.
ReplyDeleteNow I think about it, I've seen an awful lot of bronies who don't realise just how global ponies are. Even with The French and Powerful Trixie videos submitted here.
ReplyDeleteIt's not just a pony thing either, I once spoke to a university professor who honestly thought YTP/YTPMVs were a purely American phenomenon.
That might not be the case here, but listing American states and not European countries (for example) is more than a little lopsided.
Ohio Bronies meetup was so epic! I'm sooo glad that I brought my speaker vest ^-^
ReplyDelete@Acriaos
ReplyDeleteYou can just select "other" and then type in your country manually.
Really should be asleep. I managed to wake up and see this roundup ONLY because I has the worst shit (or rather series of shits) keeping me wake. I have crap insomnia! My ass hurts from toilet paper! Don't get me started on the fatigue I'm feeling. It was incredibly hard to get this written. But now I just realized how I just ranted about my diarrhea and absolutely nothing about the roundup!
ReplyDeleteSo yeah, this roundup is late and yay equestria prevails stuff. Holy cow I don't think Seth is human. (Robot maybe?)
Thats a shame. Europe is up there in the survey but i would have liked to see england as knowing the number of bronies in europe is gonna be quite different to the number in england.
ReplyDeleteThis should be interesting. I almost think there are no bronies in MI.
ReplyDeletelol, I found shingles and made gears and no one will know what I'm talking about.
ReplyDeleteI'd better get sleep more often.
Woohoo
ReplyDeleteOhio meetup! SO worth the hugelong drive
I think I'm going to BroNYcon next week...hopefully there will be at least a few other girls there. If not next week, then in a few months. :D
ReplyDeleteI also had the idea of a "brony census." but i think i would have made it simpler to just: country/territory, age, and species.
ReplyDeleteI wish there was a SC meetup, need one here
ReplyDeleteI took the census, it was okay
Since I own the Everfree do I also own the Radio station?
Probeblly not
Yay, finally a census! We've been needing that!
ReplyDeleteTo quote Sweetie Belle, I really like Luna's mane
ReplyDelete@Gwriterk
ReplyDeleteIf you're going to BroNYCon, keep a lookout for me and my friend! I'm the one with the Rainbow Dash tattoo shown above. :P
"In what country, province, state or U.S. territory do you live?"
ReplyDeleteI really love how he detailed all the states of the U.S., all the provinces of Canada, included Mexico and Australia... and then just put continents for whatever reason.
I don't like how the survey coined revealing your Bronydom to people as coming "out of the stable."

ReplyDeleteContact Details for the MLP Friendship is magic guild on Vornskr (Largest republic guild on the server)
ReplyDeletePeople who can invite you are Pinkie-pie, Luna, Angelfluttershy, Twilightsparkle, Lady-rarity, Rainbow-dash, Applejack, Lyra, Amorphic and Dhoom-bah.
@Parakarry
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's unfair for people in other regions of the world. The survey's creator could've just put certain regions of those countries, like Eastern, Central and Western to take their size into account. For example, Prince Edward Island, a Canadian province, only has a population of 141'000, yet it's an option just like Australia.
@Deimos_Foxx
ReplyDeleteI think we're all glad you did.
Woo Ohio Bronies New Year's Party! I'm surprised it's on EqD already since we haven't written the summary yet, but whatever. Also, that video is glorious, and should let anyone in Ohio who didn't come know just how much fun they missed.
ReplyDelete"10. In what country, province, state or U.S. territory do you live?"
ReplyDelete>Annoyingly large lists of states and subregions of states in the US, along with a few options such as "Europe" and "Asia".
Fuck that.
I've been waiting for an Old Republic group.. it's nice to see others play it :)
ReplyDeleteSeth, there is no such thing as a "First Annual" anything. It there is no survey next year, then it's not annual. The word you're looking for is "Inaugural."
ReplyDeleteI was rather disappointed that the Herd Census only broke down to states. It would have been much cooler to get a list of density by city.
ReplyDelete@ponies
ReplyDeleteBut it was! I remember seeing the pic they took, ai recognized the place from the stream I watched.
Yes, I like guard Derpy too. :)
ReplyDeleteLate to the Nightly Roundup for me. Was so exhausted after that New Years meetup. And I do not photograph well, ugh. lol But it was a lot of fun.
That Rainbow Dash tattoo is really nice. Good image to use for one.
That pic looks like a scene that should be in a My Little Pony movie where everyone is getting ready for war or something.... So epic looking... Must... write... Fan Script ><
ReplyDelete@Deimos_Foxx
ReplyDeleteYeah, to reiterate what DashAttack said, I'm glad you brought it too. :P
holy crap out of any server in swtor i chose vornskr and NOW THERES A GUILD YES
ReplyDeleteIs there any way I could get into the guild in SWTOR my name is "Brony". :3
ReplyDeleteWhat the hay is wrong with that survey? :D
ReplyDeletebunch of US states and Europe got only one check-option?
quite curios to see the results
I hate how that poll has individual options for each US state and has just a single option for the entirety of Europe.
ReplyDeleteWay to be ignorant of any country other than your own
I have a question, am I the only person that can't access the survey? I really want to take the survey, and help contribute some information to a population, but that obviously can't happen if I can't get to the survey...
ReplyDeleteOhio meetup was so fun, how we got so many people into that one house without the thing turning into a sauna was quite impressive.
ReplyDeletePony party's are definitely the BEST parties.
"First Annual Herd Census"? Seriously? It's not annual until the third sequential year.
ReplyDeleteThat census...
ReplyDeleteWhy are people saying that telling people that you like to watch FiM is the same as you of coming out of the closet?
'MUM! DAD! I LIKE TO WATCH A CARTOON.'
Wish I head the money for Dr. Whooves. He would make for a great gift for a friend of main.
ReplyDeleteMost of my friends like MlP before or about the same time as me.I got in do to the WoW bronies.
Going to have to find the SW:tOR bronies.
