I thought this one was cool enough to split off. The BABSCon book cover went with art from Andy Price this time, complete with lots of fun little references and things to find if you zoom in and read stuff.
Poor Luna...
For those that haven't been around since the early days, Equestria Daily here was originally created to report on all of the pony stuff going on over on the Comics and Cartoons board on 4chan. The threads were moving at a ridiculously fast pace, and back then archiving wasn't great for the site so a lot of pony content was lost to the void.
Since then, 4chan's /mlp/ board has been a huge influencer of a lot of the silly memes and trends we see around the fandom. From Lyra obsessing over humans to the more recent ones like Snow ponies, the mountains of shitposting and chaos of the site also breeds absurd amounts of creativity. You need to understand the culture and have thick skin to view it, but when you do figure it out, you can mine some pretty high quality gold out of those dunes filled with garbage.
As of today, the hacker known as 4chan has taken down 4chan and leaked IP addresses and emails for the majority of the mods and jannies that keep the place somewhat under control. This person apparently also has access to everyone that has ever input their email into the site, from 4chan gold users to people getting around the huge time restrictions they put in posting lately. They've apparently chosen not to leak any of that though according to the rumormill.
That same rumormill is saying that this is the end of 4chan as we know it, as the entire bedrock was built on this apparently easily hackable framework. I'd be surprised if that is the case though. Many an anon is autistic enough to spend weeks rebuilding everything, and plenty of people would mod it regardless of leaks just for the idea of holding some kind of power over the storm.
For now at least, it appears dead. Reddit mods are already hiding in their bunkers as the influx of anons arrive at what some consider to be the alternative. Will they survive the insanity? Is losing the containment zone that was 4chan going to flood the internet in problematic content? The internet is going to be interesting this week, that's for sure.
We went all out on creatures in the later seasons of poni. To the point of a lot of people wishing we'd see more cartoon equine in our horse cartoon!
Do you think this was a wise show for the choice in the end? We dedicated a pretty huge chunk of episodes to the concept of different inhabitants of the world. In fact, it felt like world building was on steroids in the later half of the show despite it ending soon.
Was that time that could have been better spent on pony? Or were you happy with what we got? Discuss below!
Following the Rainbow Edition from a few days ago, Kayou has announced international English versions of the Moon Edition series 2 cards as well.

Glimmy’s redemption arc is among the most debated storylines in Friendship is Magic. While many (including me) loved watching her go from villain to hero, others questioned whether the series handled her past actions correctly. Especially when she constantly repeated those past mistakes in hilariously awful ways.
Were they too easy on Starlight? Should she have gotten away with her second mind control issue and various other magical explosions?
Go drop your thoughts on Starlight below!

We needed more Autumn Blaze! We needed more Moondancer! We could have really used a lot more Minuette! Friendship is magic FLOODED us with awesome characters that desperately needed more love. While I didn't hate the student six, I really wonder what later seasons of the show would have been like if we got episodes focused on already existing poni.
You've received a blank check from Hasbro again! Which ponies do you grab for their own full series?
