New poster artist DaisyHead here. What do you get when you add Monty Python's Holy Grail, Star Wars (Liam Neeson inlcuded), The Never Ending Story,and Lord of the Rings?
Ponibooru film night opens the holiday season by not doing anything
holiday related whatsoever. We will be watching Krull. A movie set in
Medieval times where a villain from the future comes to conquer the planet Krull. It's filled with walking, and campfire's, almost
getting killed, a cyclops that knows when he will die, a crystal spider
that can only be stopped once before it kills you, a glaive of mystical
power, Clydesdales that move so fast fire erupts from their hooves and it's very own Great and powerful Trixie.
Hosts for the week include:
DaisyHead(me)
Harlequinn Jester
Psychopomf
Feral Socks
Roboshi

Japanese Pick Their Favorite Ponies!
Quite awhile back an article popped up in Japan about the Japanese side of the fandom stating that their favorite ponies were Fluttershy, Big Mac, and Cheerilee. In response to the article, Japanese fans were baffled by these results and have decided to hold their own poll about who is top pony in the Land of the Rising Sun. The results of two of their most recent polls are in and can be viewed below along with a link to analysis by commentators and poll hosts.
Overall Best Ponies
Best of Main Six
Analysis
MMO-Champion Forum Nears One Million Posts
I remember one of the big kick starts the fandom got in the early days was from it's spread on internet forums far and wide. Whether it be for gaming, picture sharing, Garry's Mod, whatever, there was always a pony thread to be found in the off topic section of each forum (and sometimes in the on topic forums as well). One such group of pony fans on MMO-Champion is nearing their one millionth post! Can you believe pony has come so far? Check below for some statistics and links.
We are now approaching the millionth post, missing around 9500 at the time of writing. It’s likely we would reach it just after the coming weekend.
The first thread was started 01:04 AM on the 27th of April 2011(GMT +1). We’ve come a long way since then. Averaging in at 1716 posts per day, that is little more than one post per second. The first thousand was hit after nine days, ten thousand after 37 days. Barely a month later, it reached 100.000. Now, over one and a half year from the first post, we’re reaching a million.
There have been a lot of posters contributing to this. We have lost many of the older posters from the earlier threads, but we have also gained new ones.
I would personally like to thank every one of them, and welcome old posters back for the occasion.

Tokyo, Japan Meetup
Copy Paste:
On chilly afternoon of Dec.2nd, 2012, we met up under the big horse
statue of Kokyo Gaien National Garden Plaza, which is next to The
Imperial Palace, Tokyo.
9 showed up, not bad for the first time meetup.
Then we went to the nearby restaurant for some food, warmth and
chatting. Despite some language barrier issues, we got along very well.
After that we moved to the dart lounge bar in the same building, which
has great night view of Yurakucho area.
In there, now with some alcohol, we had more chatting, discussions and
fan art sketch exchanges. It was found out surprisingly high percentage
of attendees are artists.
In short, we all had lots of fun and renewed the interest to the
wonderful show.
We went home after the final 8-way cluster brohoof (sadly, one attendee
had to leave earlier).
so... I could safely say" I declare the first Japanese brony meetup a
success!"
if you are interested to the next one, or got ideas of when/where,
please contact me at stinken1 (twitter) or Ken Singshow (FB)
