I avoid both of them, so I see no issues one way or the other.

There was no need for that incite of battle back there, anyways. Everyone complains enough about both of them that they don't need to really be starting anything. People have opinions and obviously one site isn't for everyone. Except Google.

Let's not do this again

I think the point of this was more or less that they shouldn't be combined and that they are two very different things that serve two very different purposes.

Isn't this like saying that killers and rapists shouldn't fight but appreciate each other's good points?

FiMchan is closer to 4chan's more cynical side, they are a bit more frank, a bit more crude (not as an insult, just what it is) and they openly acept NSFW stuff and 34.

Ponychan is more focused on a positive, or at least polite community, as well as collaboration on fanart and fanfiction. the community wants to maintain a pleasant atmosphere so you need to be careful with criticism there. you can't go around flaming and call it criticism there. they also do not officially support 34 and more or less frown upon it being posted there (note, that's not to say they necessarily dislike 34, they just like to have a place where they can escape from it)

in short: FiMchan's members dislike how "wimpy" ponychan can be at times, and Ponychan in turn feels intimidated by FiMchan's vulgarity

most of the problem, however, is the fact that both sides don't really wanna put forth the effort to see the other one as any more than a single stereotype (much like how everyone assumes all of 4chan is just /b/)

I don't see any need for either of these two sites. In my eyes, they serve no particular purpose other than to function as community politic arguments and such. I'm not bashing them, I just see no purpose to them.

EqD typically provides the more civil and content safe public face, and is a good figurehead for the Brony community to present a public face with. It also covers the fanfiction aspect of the fandom (though I have yet to read anything) but still allows me to skip all that and just check the latest happenings in the brony community.

Ponibooru is my choice location where I can just generally drown in artistic creativity. There are some things that are gross and disturbing, but as often as not, even the disturbing stuff frequently has good quality artwork. Now that Eco has lifted the last of the content restrictions, there are absolutely no other sites that I need to go to for Pony/Brony related content.

While I mostly hang out here on Ponibooru, I occasionally visit both of those sites. Both are fine. Both have something interesting, amusing and/or useful to find. They are different, but are both a credit to community.

I long for the days when this kind of divide wasn't necessary, when the fandom was friendly and accepting, and that because it wanted to be, because being that way made a point that no amount of hostility could.

Maybe that's rose-tinted goggles talking; maybe it was never that way. And even if it was, it was probably inevitable that a fandom - a body of people defined by "those who enjoy this show" - would eventually experience a crack in its culture.

But nostalgia is human.
