As you can see, Applejack has boxed up Trixie, released me, and hired Air China to dispose of her over seas for a while. I'm sure she will be back eventually, you can't get rid of The Great and Powerful Trixie that easily!
I'm going to get the story update queue rolled out, then the roundup, then some other stuff (Mainly comics... so many comics). Drawfriend will happen at it's usual time tomorrow, but inflated.
Thanks to everyone that participated! Lets never do that again!

Yay for applejack!
ReplyDeleteI have waited long enough. FIRST! HAHA MY FIRST ONE! ok I'm done...
ReplyDelete'Twas a very strange day. Way too many black boxes everywhere.
ReplyDeletePoor Trixie. She just wanted some attention.
ReplyDeleteApplejack to the rescue
ReplyDeleteWas the protest only for today?
ReplyDeleteWait, can we de-censor the banner now? It's making me sad...
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the nightly round up will have TONS of news!
ReplyDeleteSeriously the longest day of my life.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to have my ponies back.
agreed
ReplyDeletew00t!
ReplyDeleteGinna ship Trixie to Abu Dahbi?
ReplyDeleteSilly Seth with your posting of Trixie. She'd be taken by SOPA too. She might be Great and Powerful, but she's no match for power-hungry corporations.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I agree. Let's never do this again.
Speaking of, isn't the 1st anniversary of the site soon? o.o
And so I survived a second day without a Drawfriend. Let's never string those together, okay?
ReplyDeletei thought you hated Applejack?
ReplyDeleteGues you have to apologize now Seth.
Oh sweet Celestia, we're back!

And that's why Applejack is best pony.
ReplyDeletenice to see AJ get some love from you Seth! I also chuckled merrily at "Air China" and picturing Trixie stuffed in that crate. Let's get a fun banner up soon!
ReplyDeleteTo have a day without ponied was torture for me. My friend and I spent all day worring about wether SOPA would pass or not.
ReplyDeletepraise the lawd alleluia!
ReplyDeleteLet's hope the one-day protest got the traction everyone is hoping. Personally, I'll be hammering on this with Occupy until it's dead and gone.
ReplyDeleteJust in time for the anniversary, too!
ReplyDeleteToo many censored mustaches... It twas history
ReplyDeleteThank you AJ!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the support, gang! :)
ReplyDeleteYes the returns of EQD im so happy :D Bronys for internet freedom :D
ReplyDeleteI know I contacted them seeing as SOPA & PIPA will affect USA greatly and everyone around the world (plays Daft Punk song Around the World)
ReplyDeleteSeth I sent you a video but I forgot the title its a Lamb Chop thing for Australian Day in Australia its called, wait for it Barbie Girl but Hasbro can't it cause its not about the Barbie Doll
Alright, now I can finally let my feelings for this entire situati-

We now return you to your regularly scheduled PONIESPONIESPONIESPONIESPON-
Aww shit.
[For serious, though: I'm glad that's all over with, and I'm incredibly glad that everything done today had such a huge impact.]
Applejack my hero!
ReplyDeleteI admit I don't like Trixie all that much. I've been waiting for another episode with her in it so that I can hopefully like her. However when she took over our Equestria Daily just to show us what a world with SOPA or PIPA can be like, she grew some respect from me. And now I am sad to see her stuffed in a box and being sent overseas.
ReplyDeleteAnyway can't wait for all the posts! Especially the double Drawfriends!
yay back to ponies!
ReplyDeletetoday has made me realize how empty my life is without the colorful equines. Hopefully this never has to happen again. (fingers-crossed)
I've decided that this bill would be impossible to enforce. They'd get some major offenders, then more would take their place. Individual websites would take down user pages and art and creative content, then it would move underground. The government cannot control ideas, it cannot control creative content. They cannot scare me into submission, and they will not scare America into toeing the line of completely copyright-free content. I would never live in that world.
ReplyDeleteYay! More ponies!
ReplyDeleteCongrats AppleJack you have saved the internet! XD
ReplyDeleteI agree, never do that again.
ReplyDeleteYay! Ponies!
ReplyDeleteThere's our 2 bits.
YAY
ReplyDeleteApplejack boxing up Trixie and Censorship = win. <3
ReplyDelete*let's out held breath* Oh thank god, some ponies. I thought I was going to die there if I had to wait another 2 hours.
ReplyDeletei couldnt agree more seth! but you should get some free time near holidays and important stuff like that
ReplyDeleteI've been waiting for hours in Australia. It's almost 5pm on the 19th here.
ReplyDeleteNooooo, Trixie! D:
ReplyDeleteHow about you just send her to me instead, Seth? <3
Thank Celestia, its finally over. BACK TO PONIES!
ReplyDeleteMade this for trixie: http://jestergillard.deviantart.com/#/d4mol63
ReplyDeleteYay Applejack is best Pony and saves the day.Thanks Applejack now we can all get our Pony fix and get back to normal.
ReplyDelete(You have cured your withdrawal of ponies)
ReplyDeleteYour are normal once again but you are still addicted to Ponies :P
Hooray! Thank goodness, onward to more ponies!
ReplyDeleteI did throw in my two cents and sent a letter to my representative. I'm feeling pretty good about that - seeing as though I've never been involved in anything political.
Yay! Ponies are back!
ReplyDeleteYay!
ReplyDelete@Sethisto: When will you begin selling the "I survived..." shirts for this event?
@Chris
ReplyDeletepfffft everyone here is addicted to ponies XD Heck we were running full conversations on two different posts today even after the post that told us that there would be no ponies anything today. And most to all of the comments here are probably going to be from people from those same conversations XD But I bet none of us would have it any other way!
My representatives went from yes/yes to no/undecided, and yet I still feel a great deal of annoyance with Mr. Blunt.
ReplyDeleteBut enough of that depressing topic. Huzzah for the longest night ending! Let the love and tolerance flow once more!
What a day! Well I'm heading to bed can't wait to read a good story.
ReplyDeleteI had fun reading the commetns here, plus I sent my letters to my representative and senator.
Woot woot! Now I can stop being all saddy waddy!
ReplyDeleteWha happened..
ReplyDeleteSWAG! BROHOOFS FOR EVERYPONY
ReplyDeleteShould be handled by the top ponies
ReplyDelete@sorakun555
ReplyDeleteIn a different study I conducted I have concluded that Bronies in fact cannot live a day without ponies :P :D
At least they're not using Laoche to send her, they have a nasty habit of crashing into the Himalayas.
ReplyDeleteTrixie. Please just stop. Every time I see you on this site it's too soon. For the love of god, Twilight beat you on this list. Just stop. Disappear into nothingness and LET IT GO.
ReplyDeleteyay! back to business as usual ^ ^ just wanted to know when the mock-war artists training grounds were going to start up again? ive been practicing so much. anyhoo cant wait to see all the interesting non-censored pony stuff that i am sure is going to be flooding in.
ReplyDelete@Chris
ReplyDeleteI think we can, though we may be a bit addicted to the happiness and camaraderie they bring to otherwise mundane lives.
Awesome. I have my drugs back.
ReplyDeleteMy beloved ponies are back! I signed a couple of different petitions today. I'm not a fan of piracy, but I don't want to get punished for something I personally didn't do (or at least did back when we all were doing it and didn't know any better).
ReplyDeleteBoth my representative and senator seem to be against it.
ReplyDeleteThis played when I saw this post:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vx5NcLA3nc
I would also like an I Survived a day without ponies SOPA shirt.
ReplyDeleteHooray!
ReplyDeleteWait...
Where is the training grounds? It was supposed to be back now, right?
Applejack is best pony
ReplyDelete;P
ReplyDeleteWait, Seth, you gave Trixie to the Chinese? They're who we learned stuff like SOPA from. They'll just set her free!
ReplyDelete@TheMagicalFish
ReplyDeletemy thoughts exactly. phoe did say the 18th right?
@BlasTech But Twilight is the only one with support from another pony for being best pony. And her supporter is one of the Mane 6 too.
ReplyDeleteJanuary 19th, 2011 currently holds the record for the day with the least amount of posts. January 18th, 2012 (364 days later) currently holds 2nd place for fewest posts.
ReplyDelete@Jordan
ReplyDeleteMight be a bit early for that yet, as now it is tied for 2nd.
>Drawfriend will happen at it's usual time tomorrow, but inflated.
ReplyDelete-Hehe... inflated. *cough*
That was... a surprisingly difficult day. How did I survive before EQD again?
ReplyDeleteAir China!? That a fate I would not inflict on my worst enemy!
ReplyDeleteTHE WAR IS NOT OVER YET!!! WE NEED TO KEEP ON PUSHING!!!
ReplyDeleteNo Seth, let's do it again if we have to, but pray to God, Allah, Buddah, and (place any other religious Deity here) that we never need to.
ReplyDeleteIt was a bit of a long wait, but we did it. We've got our website back! And nice work boxing up Trixie, AJ! Whoo hoo!!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, EqD! It's been a slow day without you, to be sure. Pony withdrawal is a bitch, but we've got a wonderful cover of the CMC theme to come back to. I've got my much-needed fix!
ReplyDeleteJust wanna take a moment to say (in a already-passed comment box that probably won't be looked at much since new stuff is coming up. Derp.) a big thank you to Seth for everything you do. A day without EqD made me realize exactly how much pony I'm usually exposed to on a regular basis. Sometimes it's when you don't have something that you notice just how much was there, eh? Anyway, it's your job to sift through all the content and only post the absolute top quality stuff.
Thanks for the awesome job, man.
And way to protest, too! As much as a pain as it was for the site to be in stasis, it was for a great cause.
WOOOTT!!
ReplyDelete███████ ████, ████.
ReplyDelete@brilliantspecter
ReplyDeleteBluh, realized I derped even harder than initially thought. Meant to include everyone else who helps with the blog in there, got distracted, then typed without really thinking. Heh.
Cereal, Phoe, Xyro, and... The other guy whose name is slipping my mind right now... Bluh, sorry - ALL THE PEOPLE WHO RUN THIS BLOG AND WITHOUT WHOM IT WOULDN'T BE THE SAME! Thanks. I missed you guys.
Jeeze, my patron pony really IS Derpy.
Let's *hope* we never have to do that again! :S
ReplyDelete@Sgtnolisten
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Especially since sooner or later, some politician or lobbyist will bring these back up or try something similar.
Did you finally get to take a break from blogging?
ReplyDeleteAJ: She's going to be examined by top....men....
ReplyDeleteTwi: Who?
AJ: TOP....MEN....
Applejack, you're my favorite pony for the rest of the week. Here's to the downfall of SOPA, that we may never have to endure such dark times for real.
ReplyDeleteIts still a problem though...what WE(not for people who decide to disagree) want is total removal of sopa/pipa and not even a semblance of some sort of workaround(theres always a workaround variation everytime a bill fails to pass)
ReplyDeleteof course I'd just say: KILL IT! KILL IT WITH FIRE!
And I have to wash all this politics off and go back to my pony...and I'm glad EqD is back....so happy
Equestria Daily is back to normal. Yay! Ponies!
ReplyDeleteSomething tells me the next few hours will be pretty busy. Yeah, let's hope we don't do this again. If anything, to keep some of us from descending into madness again. Seth, everyone else running the website, keep up the great work! :D
ReplyDeleteLive ponies! LIIIIIIIIIIIVE! End SOPA and PIPA forever and make Equestria happy.
ReplyDeleteHaha good job AJ! It was a great day for the opposition of SOPA/PIPA, and so nice to have EQD back ^_^
ReplyDeleteBut Sethisto IS the box!
ReplyDeleteOf all the places(and satellites) to send Trixie, why China?
ReplyDeleteBuck Applejack, then. Buck her with a chainsaw.
ReplyDeleteNo, lets hope we wont have to do this ever again, but lets do it thousand times more if it will be necessary
ReplyDeleteI'll save you Trixie!
ReplyDelete@SgtGarand
ReplyDeleteAUGHH! I can't remember where that's from!!!
Happy birthday, Equestria Daily!!
ReplyDelete@Masquerade Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Wow, the return of the three million hits banner pictures! Yay for AJ shipping Trixie far away via questionable cargo methods (both for the trauma it was cause the victim, plus the chance for Trixie to eventually escape and return to cause more shenanigans in the future).
ReplyDelete23 hours of no pony nearly had me jaded for a while.
ReplyDeleteIt also cured my diabeties. I expect next drawfriend to fix that, I was beginning to like being a soppy idiot.

ReplyDeleteI'll just leave this here.
=)
My congressman has already said he'll say no, so I can only hope at this point...
ReplyDelete@snowfi6916
ReplyDeleteI went to that earlier. It has certainly lifted my spirits. Especially the author's joke about putting Firefly back on air xD
Isn't there an apostrophe in "let's"?
ReplyDeleteAAAH DON'T KILL ME! D:
Subtle Garfield reference? Is Trixie the new Odie?
ReplyDeleteYay! Nice work Applejack :3
ReplyDeleteSOPA's... defeated?!?!?!?! We did it, everypony! HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!! *Hallelujah chorus*
ReplyDeleteSOPA's... defeated?!?!?!?! We did it, everypony! HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!! *Hallelujah chorus*
ReplyDeleteHm, this was expected, but I'm glad nonetheless.
ReplyDelete@Ponybro7 No. It's not ever yet.
ReplyDeleteDon't relax! She's not done yet!! ^_^
ReplyDeleteApplejack, you go girl! ^_^
ReplyDeleteApplejack is amazing, and so is my congressman allen west.
ReplyDelete(puts the crowbar down) Not yet, Trixie got a long way to go until PIPA hits the failboat.
ReplyDeleteNo... Oh sweet Celestia, let it be a coincidence... This can't be back! I forbid it! Not the stupid AJ v Trixie thing again!
ReplyDeleteNOOOOOOOOOOOOO TRIXIE!!!!
ReplyDelete@Tzeentch Sent to China... poor Trixie. They'll probably kill her and slice her up for aphrodisiacs. RIP Trixie 1-19-2012, death by traditional folk medicine. :C
ReplyDelete@StonerSunshine The worst part is that the people voting for these bills have more than likely a. not written the bill and/or b. not even read it.
ReplyDeleteThey get paid a huge amount of money to basically rubber-stamp legislation written entirely by special interest groups.
That's why things like SOPA get this far.
"It ain't over till' it's over".

ReplyDeleteSOPA and PIPA may be over for now. But, guess what? Now we have ACTA (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement) to deal with!
ReplyDelete@anonymous person Yes, they're deliberately hitting us with as many such bills at a time as they can, hoping that one will slip under the radar. This is how these people work. They are liars, deceivers, manipulators... if I had to put a religious slant to it, you could imply that they've taken their marching orders straight from the Prince of Lies himself.
