Stop obsessing over ratings! Fluttershy demands it! I don't know why we used to report on those. I detail it a bit more below though.
We also had a bunch of drama surrounding an episode parodying the brony fandom. History arrives! Get it all below.

Some of these themes are gone from the looks of it like most things, but I thought I'd mention them anyway. They were really popular in the early fandom and ended up being used by a lot of people as actual representation of the characters. I'm sure they are still out there somewhere on an archive.

We started getting our first teasers of the My Little Pony Gameloft game around now, with this full page revealing a bunch of interesting tidbits about it. It's too bad the game is so ridiculously expensive!
We also started finally seeing the first round of Funko figures invade stores, with Dashie and Derpy starting it off.
And Daniel Ingram sold the desk he composed pony on. I wonder if anyone ended up picking it up from the fandom?

Derpy Derped! Yay Derpy.
This 26/66 day of pony editorial was one of the most important. The end of season 1 was so bittersweet for a lot of us, and the episode they left us off with was such a perfect ending to it. No giant cosmic horrors threatening Equestria. No big villains. Just mares dealing with the stress of a party.
And finally, Nutrafin was one of those early SFM animators, and this was a cute one.

The hub officially ended, and someone recorded its final moments. I've already talked about them a bunch in these posts though, so have some Maud Pie being silly.

Honestly, Friendship is Magic ratings were always kind of a silly thing we followed in the early days. The show was on a single network on an exclusive cable package that wasn't even available everywhere while most just watched the 1080p rips produced by various recorders in the fandom. It was always a horrible metric to judge its success.
In the end, we got 9 seasons. An unsuccessful show doesn't get 9 seasons.

Puzzling pony parties and a ponified fan game were released today.

There were a lot of people that took Fame and Misfortune way too seriously, so M.A. Larson replied.
We also had the Tactics of Everglow Ponyfinder book release.
2018
The school was razed today. Also kirins.
