Also, my avatar's now obsolete, so should I edit it in photoshop or something, or keep it the way it is?

Keep it until the episode.

You give me too much credit man, all I did was add some backgrounds.

"Stop Waiting and Disconnect"

Also, with as many holes as our robot will have in it by the time we're done, I wish we could paint it black, put green cathodes on it and dub it "Queen Chrysalis".

Tried naming our bot "One Trick Pony" - because it only shoots right now - and it was deemed inappropriate. .

NEWS FLASH FOR EVERYBODY:

Hate to submit more news, but this'll probably get featured on EQD fairly quickly, and I think you can see why. (I'll give an extra spoiler. The name of the spin-off is probably going to be "Equestria Girls", and it will launch with a movie.) GET READY FOR A BRONY SPINOFF. The series will specifically target the "Brony" fanbase, and encourage even more fan participation. In addition, Hasbro's signed deals to have bronies featured on "Modern Family" and "The Big Bang Theory". For those of you more specifically interested, this is part of a process called differentiation, which basically means splitting the fandom up into two groups. Little girls will get "Friendship is Magic", hence the princess-themed finale, and bronies will get "Equestria Girls". Whether or not EG will have FiM's cast of ponies, is, as of now, still under consideration by Hasbro, and there's nothing close to a final decision.

Here's the video:

So how do you guys feel? Also, I'm locked in MORTAL WAR with the CRIO. GAAAAH.

[Nirvash]

Can't watch video because I'm at work, but how I feel bout what I read? That language wouldn't be appropriate here.

Also what ever happens, a little girls show is what the fandom fell in love with and changing that may not help at all.

In other news Fighting is magic got C&D'ed.

You didn't have to hear the news from someone who was forced to pen the notice. From the inside knowledge I can get from my mom, Hasbro is tightening its grip on the fanbase in multiple ways, and BronyCon itself may be threatened as a "derivative gathering". Please try not to be too upset. If people choose to leave the fanbase over this, I honestly cannot blame them, because if what Hasbro's internal memorandums my mom showed me say are true, things are only going to get worse. Much, much, much worse. I'm really sorry things have to go this way.

If this is truly the end, and our ponies really are going on to greener pastures, can we still stay friends/build season buddies. I'd like that.

[Nirvash]

All I can say is that I can't wait to get my C&D(s)!

Also if I may suggest something, you probably shouldn't say who gave you information. As crazy as it sounds things can get back to people and corporate policy can be unforgiving.

Thanks for your concern, but my mom is seriously considering resigning at this point anyway, and she told me to give her credit.

[Nirvash]

Okay!
Also I find it silly that Hasbro DMCA'ed Equestriagirls.com and said the want that domain, but they didn't regiester eqgirls.org/net.

If you guys can pardon my sentimental blubbering, I really need to get this off my chest.

In light of recent events, I have a bad feeling that this will be the end of our little fandom. I have enjoyed 2 wonderful years with every brony I know, and made friends worldwide. This fandom taught me deep life lessons that I know I will not forget in the future. From my very first time watching the show, to my first con, meeting with the VA's, my first meetup with with other bronies from New York through the innumerable friends and hobbies I've made, to the simple knowledge that I'm a guy who likes little ponies and that that's OK, this fandom has been nothing short of magical. I know that the brony fandom was a turning point in my life, and one I will always look back on. This show, and the magic of friendship, have truly been the most magical things in my life.

So if the predictions I'm hearing are true, if the further measures I've seen will be issued and carried out, if the fandom is really being laid to rest, I just want to say goodbye, and a sincere thank you to everypony that I don't really think words can begin to express.

Friendship truly is magic. Goodbye, good luck, and for the last time in the forseeable future, brohoof.

This is going to be short till I get home and post proper, but from what I know, and only I know, not much has changed for me, I will still watch the show, assuming I doesn't go to crap, I still plan on going to EverfreeNW and Bronycon(which BTW, is anyone planing to go to either?), the friends I've met aren't going away, I will still give too much money to webhosting. So until something drastic happens I will continue as normal!
