To my understanding: Some bro on /co/ posted the hub promo rule and was like, "Look how gay all this shit is" and some people thought that mlp didn't look half bad and started following it and posting screen caps ect. Then the show propagated from there.

1. The internet, mostly 4chan.
2. When they made it good.
3. Because someone I respect recommended it.
4. Someone made an article saying it was bad, some people on 4chan thought it would be fun to watch it to make fun of it. They ended up falling in love with it instead.

The only advice I can give you is to just watch it. If that doesn't make you understand, nothing we say is going to convince you.

1. 4chan
2. October 10
3. Peer Pressure
4. Some guy used it as an example of how cartoons only exist to sell toys, so 4chan's /co/ checked it out and started liking it.

1. For me it was memebase.com and halolz.com
2. For me, it didn't become cool until I watched it, but also when I heard Lauren Faust was involved. I watched her previous shows (PPG, Fosters') and enjoyed them.
3. Everyone was talking about it and I wanted to see what was so awesome. Also, the art style drew me in.
4. check KYM

How did it all start? I believe I can help you there.

It all started 4.5 billion years ago (well, technically much longer ago than that, but we'll start here). The sun was just turning on and there were millions upon millions of little rocks all circling around it. These rocks bumped into each other and decided "wouldn't if be nice if we all just stayed together?" So they did. Eventually enough bumbed together that they got really warm and the rocks melted and their conciousnesses were forever silenced.

Then time passed and a bunch of things evolved. One of those things thought, "wouldn't it be nice if we made a story about those things we evolved along side and gave them our cognitive abilites?" And then the Carebears were created. Around the same time, someone thought to do this with an animal that wasn't likely to eviscerate you and My Little Pony began. About thirty years later, competent people got ahold of this and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic came into being.

And that's how Equestria was made!

1.As people already said 4chan and then it just sort of spread like wildfire.
2.It just sort of did when people realized it was an amazing show.
3.Curiosity.
4.It started when someone on 4chan's /co/ board posted an alarmist, and inflammatory article on the website Cartoon Brew claiming that Lauren Faust's involvement in the show was somehow marking the end of the "Creator-Driven Era". Since Faust's past works (Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends for example) were quite good people were curious and decided to watch it, most wanting to mock it for how bad it should have been.
Once people realized it didn't suck it just went downhill from there.

1. Other people on a forum I frequent started having those weird pony avatars and sigs, there were memes about it, etc.
2. As soon as you start watching it.
3. Someone posted a youtube video of the first episode and I was like "so that's what it's all about, guess I should check it out". A few hours later I was through half of the first season and to put it in Pinkie's words: "I've never felt joy like that before."
4. What the others said, I guess whoever wrote that original article must feel stupid right about now.

I found out about it because Lauren Faust posted a journal saying that she was working on the show.

Half a year later she posted a youtube link

then /co/ showed up on her page

and the rest was history

1. I have no clue. I guess it all started in 4chan, and then that snowballed into other image websites. And that's how the Bronydom was made!
2. Thank Lauren Faust for that. She wanted to make the show so different from the original she ended up making it awesome.
3. Two of my friends grabbed me and told me to watch the first two episodes. Four days later, I had watched all of the series and started drawing fanart.
4. I think it was Scootaloo before the egg, but don't take my word for it.

I had been aware of mlp:fim since around spring, but the idea of grown men liking ponies was a bit off-putting to me. Around late june/early july, I noticed that the craze was really gaining momentum and decided to give it a shot. I figured if it were terrible, I could make fun of the show and people who watch it guilt-free. By the 7th episode, I was hooked. The character interaction is what gives the show its appeal to me. They're just very enjoyable to watch.

1. I'm not sure, I was checking on old-school cartoons and saw a link to my little pony. That's how I got to know them.
2. It didn't become cool, it was cool before it even was created.
3. Quite frankly because it looked amazing. They were drawn simply and not really very detailed like in the older generations when they were still semi-hand drawn.
4. It never started, it has always been in motions, the cogs will never stop either.

I saw it for the first time on Paheal in February when the admin made a humanized picture a featured image--to that point I hadn't even heard about it because I left 4chan over a year ago. I got linked to an episode (#15, Feeling Pinkie Keen) and figured I'd watch it because I found the idea of a character named "Derpy" amusing. It didn't do much for me, so I forgot about it.

A few months later, I saw the loop of Fluttershy screaming "YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE ME" on Youtube, thought it was funny, and found "PONIES: THE ANTHOLOGY." I watched it, laughed some more, and for the first time started to get interested. I found my way here after being linked from Paheal, and then I eventually wound up watching all the episodes in order. And here I am.

1. Hanging out in the Paheal comments pages. Was amused by the characterizations. Got it recommended to me as a decent cartoon.
2. Being quality animation during a period of formulaic quasi-Japanese crap that's only the air because marketing thinks kids like to see people on TV playing a game that they can really buy!
3. TwoWhiteSocks told me to.
4. I dunno, internet?
