So, the other forum is officially dead?

[MC Dirty]

So, just tell me if I got this correctly: The board that was set up on proboards is gonna be scrapped now?

If yes, is there gonna be something like "Here be monsters" on this one? Looking at how many of the stories I've collected so far would not really have a place in anything but an 18+ forum or sub-board, I'm guessing that maybe.
Or maybe they are already there, but hidden from public view? I 'unno.

There's the Everfree Forest section, which will contain all material above the threshold of normalcy, stopping just shy of the blatantly outrageous (i.e. Princess Molestia level explicitness AT MOST). If you can't see it, you need to apply for it in this thread and wait for a mod or admin to clear you.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...by what you're telling me, I'm expected to moderate a place where a Cupcakes level of gore is allowed? OUT OF THE QUESTION. Could you specify exactly what level of gore and stuff am I going to have to read through on a daily basis? Because if this IS the case, then not only do I quit, I am done with this SITE.

No, I set you up as moderator for the Games subforum, as that was roughly equivalent to what you were moderating on the interim board. You don't even have to see the Everfree Forest section if you don't ask to be added to the group for it, much less moderate it. I know I wouldn't ask anyone to force themselves to monitor that, and I don't think Dsarker would either. Not that there has even been anything posted on there beyond a few pages of discussion about how badly RD was or wasn't injured in the most recent episode.

[Zaerosz]

I wouldn't particularly mind monitoring it, to be honest. I don't mind gorefic very much, since it doesn't evoke a very emotional response from me.

[Flying Dice]

I'll go ahead and set that up. Not much to watch at the moment, to be honest. The only case where admin/mod powers for regulation should even be necessary is if we somehow attract people who weren't part of the B12 threads.

[Slag]

I think that would take a bit of a miracle.

Honestly, I think it's going to be just us few, maybe a few more who show up from Bay12. I think I'll probably be the worst person here and I'm definitely not planning on breaking any rules.

[Uristqwerty]

... if we somehow attract people who weren't part of the B12 threads.

Bwahahahah....

(Just found this place, knowing nothing of MLP at all, because Fniff and RexMundi alluded to it existing on the BS12 forum. Then I read the last 6@50 pages of the most recent B12 thread and noticed a number of sigs linking here. Also, great job not noticing the decline back there, some people really don't seem to understand "how not to get a subject banned from a forum"; It's like you all forgot what various nonsense had become...)

[Flying Dice]

Eh, I kinda had a feeling it was coming, and am now of the opinion that it was good that it happened, as things are better now all around. Except for me still being a bit pissed off over the sheer number of people who made false claims about what got the threads locked, despite never participating in them.

[Debesh]

Agreed. Now, we can do what we want, with who we want, without the risk of insulting Toady or anyone else who might be around. For the best, in my opinion.

[Flying Dice]

So is anyone else getting constant 504 timeouts when trying to connect to B12?

[MC Dirty]

Now that you mention it, yeah, I do.
Hmm, I wonder what happened. It is the first day in a month, so... Hmm, does anyone know if Toady released a new version? Because that regularly crashes everything.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Nope, no new version. Probably just the forums acting up again, happens sometimes. Just go to bay12games.com itself, it works fine.

[Zaerosz]

Guess the Toad must have deleted a big thread, that usually 504's the board for a few minutes.

[Necro910]

I just checked, and the Toad deleted the second and third pony threads.

Really? Oh, fuck!

Well, I guess it's a good thing I already salvaged all the fanfiction and fanart I could find there.
And thus, about a week of work was worth it.

Edit: Wait a minute, the pony threads are all still there!

We can always offend the general Brony population. Take solace in that fact.

[Dsarker]

Well on my way with that. http://www.fimfiction.net/story/3640/%2B%2BINCIDENT-DELTA%2B%2B

Ah, Mmk. I punched "pony" while looking for subject titles in General Discussion.

The word "Ponies" threw it off

The most depressing thing is, people actually like it. Well, going by the few comments there are, anyway. The star rating is a different story.

I guess this either proves that I've got a rare mental condition, or that the whole world is going in a southward direction at a velocity greatly exceeding my most pessimistic guesstimations. I suppose either is fine.

Anyhow, I am glad I have new dark brethren.

You know what the really bad part is? Some of them want me to write more.

[Sean Mirrsen]

That is a normal reaction to something you like - it's the liking that's bad, not the wanting for more. But yeah, considering what it took you to write that much...

[Armok]

I don't see what's wrong with it.

[Sean Mirrsen]

I don't see what's wrong with it.

Ah, there you are. Adequately hardened person. You do have Everfree access, right? Go here, read the fanfic linked in the spoiler, and post your impressions in that thread. I'm mostly just curious to see different people's reaction to it. And before you ask, no, I didn't write it.
