They apparently live on donations.

What I can offer you though:
  • Unlimited space for your emails!
  • Priority Email Support. For resolving any issues faster.
  • A personal email from me thanking you for your donation and whatever else comes to my head at the time.
  • the URL to the "secret" page on this server. It's not that exciting, but whatever.

Here's a idea of how many bronies there are, go to knowyourmeme and look at the top commented, top favorites, most liked for the daily sections. For months we've taken over the daily section for all of these.

Here's another one. I wore this to school some time ago. The FOUR people sitting to the left of me in my first period class all "FUCK YEAH"'d together.

After that I got about 2-3 more happy comments and one party pooper.

This wasn't done with Flash...it was done with Anime Studio Debut* (i.e. the cheap, under $50 version). Many minds were blown before this factoid was known.

I`ve just noticed something.

Everything the brony fandom is, its basically what the Sonic fandom was. People have OC's, they make fan videos of it, write fan fiction, and they ship characters together, regardless of whether or not it makes sense. Only difference is that the pony fandom is actually liked by people who aren't a part of it.

I saw that as well, it's pretty amazing what bronies can do.

Heheh, neat video.

Two things.
1. There's a pretty good 8-bit game called Story of the Blanks. It's a little short, but quite creepy.
2. The Target store I work at just got a whole lot more MLP merchandise. And the neat thing is that you have to walk through the girl's toys aisle to get to the staff room.

Are we talking about somewhere between 12 and 14 years ago? When Sonic & Knuckles, for the Genesis, was still rolling, Sonic CD was all epic, and SatAM Sonic cartoon was running? I was all "WEE SONIC!" and get onto the internet into some Sonic-related Beseen chat. It was good, but it wasn't even remotely proportional to the Pony fame. That fandom was really tiny then actually. J. Axer was one of the most talented (only talented?) Sonic fan artist at the time.

Or are we talking about after that, when everything Sonic-related really started sucking? A lot of the old fans (J. Axer included) got bored and abandoned the fandom, noticing the downhill slope SEGA put Sonic stuff on. I actually have no idea how the fanbase expanded at this point.. it sure wasn't because any official Sonic releases were any good. Not notably, at least. (Sonic Adventures may have been an entertaining play, but the plot and voice acting was garbage.)

The Brony fandom can be related to the Sonic fandom (even in it's prime) only after you remove most of the talent. I say this as someone who was there, and liked Sonic. 99% of user-generated content sucked badly, and rather than exaggerating, I'm pretty sure 1% is being generous.

--
That MAD TV spoof was nice. It wasn't really very funny at all, but it was surprisingly supportive of MLP and it's fandom. I can't really say anything bad about it.

Then again Heimdal, had the technology been at the same level at the time of Sonic's hayday, it might have been able to have equivalence. I mean really, a lot of the talent is out there only because of how all encompassing technology, programming, and the internet have become since the 90s.

Secondly... How is the Mad TV spoof supportive of the fandom? I mean... it is a children's equivalent to Robot Chicken. Reading subtext into it besides the psychotic match up of random fads and pop culture will make your head explode. :p

Not to mention how much easier it is to create fan animations and such of the show now.

Not to mention gmod makes it even easier, there's a few machinima pony directors.

I don't even know what those are XD And so no, I shall not mention them! But yeah, a net fad like this was only a matter of time. Just look at how "viral" idiotic things already are on youtube. You create something cute, decently written (god do is this so hard to find), and falls in current fandom circles. Blamo.

If the internet, and related tech, were the same as now, it probably would have been the same. That really is part of what makes it different, but it's an immensely huge difference. On the other hand, it's a senseless argument because they aren't the same in the end, and there's no way to prove that they would have been.

Not gonna lie, if the very first Sonic game was made nowadays, using modern tech, there would have never been a sequel. Sonic started sucking as soon as they removed him from speechless platforming.

The "GO BRONIES!" part was literal text, so no need for subtext. It didn't actually mock MLP or Bronies in the slightest (though it might have been funnier/funny if it did). It was a parody that gave a shout-out to us, didn't mock us at all, was full of ponies, and had Tara Strong (Twilight's VA) voicing... her same character. It might as well have been (and probably somewhat was) made by Bronies.

Didn't catch the go bronies first time, so I'll give ya that a little. :p

The rest is just still part of the parody. Cause I mean, not mocking something isn't pro something. But regardless. Also remember this, if the first sonic game had been made by the original developers in this day and age, it could well have been awesome. It just would never have been a "Sonic" game as we see them. Sonic would probably have been a Space Marine fighting the evil hordes of animal robot alien hybrids. (earning an 8 on IGN)

Re: What is with all of this "My little pony" stuff? (The unofficial official MLP Thr

I am betting on a "prequel" kinda thing. (since it is supposed to involve that new winged unicorn. And the only other one mentioned in the story so far was that love poisoned one in the last ep.) Thus it will involve a dragon, and chaos, and that bizzaro destroyed castle.
