## AdminCountry code: blank.gif, country type: blank, valid: 15833Locked[Last 50 Posts]

So, as most of you are all aware, the MLP fandom is not exactly alive and kicking anymore. We have noticed that a majority of the site is no longer really pony related in any real way outside of /pony/ and a small sprinkling of /rp/.

As such, the mod team and I have been considering opening the site up to be more of a "general" fan site. Not specifically just ponies.

What does this mean? It simply means the overall pony motif will be going away and the site will get a more fitting name not directly related to MLP.

FAQ:
Q: "Will /pony/ be deleted?"
A: No. All pony related content will remain and be allowed, we will just not be making it the main focus.

Q: "What is going to happen to /ef/, /oat/ and /chat/?"
Nothing. These boards will remain as "general purpose" boards not directly related to any fandoms.

Q: "So what is actually going to change?"
A: To be honest, not all that much. We will probably just be adding boards related to other fandoms if we see a rising interest in them. All the things you currently have shouldn't be going away.

Q: "What is the point of this?"
A: The userbase has been in on a decline for quite some time, and it's not going to pick up because of our image as a "pony" site. Anyone not interested in ponies will not come here, and anyone who is will come here and realize that we aren't really about the show anymore. It's overall just going to lead to the eventual decay and death of the site. The idea here is to make the place a bit more welcoming to other fandoms outside of pony.

Q: "When will these changes take place?"
A: Not right away. The purpose of this thread is to get feedback from the users about this proposition to ensure no one feels like they don't have a say. We will probably be leaving this thread up for about a week to field comments, questions and concerns from the users before we make a decision on how to move forward with this, so if you have an opinion about this idea, please let us know, but keep it civil.

Thank you.

No problem. I have no issues with your thoughts, probably decent ideas. MLP has been dead for years anwyays.

Just.. I don't know. Feels like the last vestiages of what once was dying.

Anyway, probably for the best. We must keep moving, that's how it rolls

yeah, im okay with this for the most part

the fad has passed and many have moved on from it (including myself)

however, i feel like the /pony/ board is hardly needed anymore

i say that because a few years ago i tired opening the suggestion to merging /oat/ and /pony/

now that the show is over and done i think it's time to just merge it all

but thats my thoughts on the matter

though i believe you guys need to trim the fat like removing /oat/ and leaving at the very least' leave two general purpose boards

adding boards for certain fandoms and whatnot seems like a weird idea unless it generally gains a major interest

were not a super large community

The name hasn't been decided yet. A majority of the mod team wants to simply shorten it to "Pchan" and just not have the P stand for anything, but this is still up in the air.

it wont have to be limited to pony content only

I swear I myself brought up this idea years ago, so I guess I can say yeah, it kinda makes sense.

The problem is I don't think adding new boards is gonna suddenly bring in new traffic, I mean /chat/ was added and it died after like two weeks. I also feel like there's barely enough discussion about things like, say, anime or video games to warrant them having their entire own boards, especially with /oat/ being the designated general board. I mean I'd love to have our own little /mu/ and/or /lit/, but I don't feel like there would be much interest from the current crowd at least.

One thing I do worry about is the potential for rebranding to draw in...really undesirable types of people. I feel like we have a nice little niche crowd here and it would be a shame for it to just become 4chan 1.5.

Again, I am dedicated to NOT becoming a 4/8chan clone and will not allow that to happen.

The limits we put up with on /ef/ are as far as I'm willing to go, and only conceded there because it's what the users wanted. However we will NOT be going full 4chan here. There will never be a full on /pol/ board on this site as long as I'm in charge.

I can see this helping to revitalize /rp/. I mean, it's like the only place I can find that gives me this particular format of RP and being more general would get rid of the "eeeeeeeeew bronies" stigma.

Just keep us in mind while you make this change, aaight?

I haven't used this site for anything other than the /rp/ board in like maybe three years?

But I think rebranding is a good idea overall, maybe the site will find a second life (no relation) as a general purpose place

My suggestion is really straight forward

Change the name of the site, get rid of most of the banners and make new ones, and rename the site themes (at least most of them) to not be pony related.

That's pretty much all that would really be needed because, as was stated, there's not all that much that would need to be changed to move away from MLP as a theme. It's not like most people have much pony related going on outside of /pony/ anyways, and not being so obviously pony related will make the site a lot more interesting to people who maybe didn't really get into MLP as much.

Anyways, that's my two cents on it as someone who hasn't been using the site all that much. My suggestions are pretty straight forward and probably what was already on most people's minds, so yeah.

The only thing I would add is asking how would we decide what new boards would be made? It's not like there's an easy way to just know what would be popular enough to warrant it.

I think as long as we don't dive to far into degeneracy or politics things would still be fine.

It would be an opportunity to welcome in a few fresh faces who would otherwise be turned off by the pony concept.

Really, all I can think of is "Just because the branding has changed, will that in itself bring traffic to the site, or would additional getting-the-word-out be necessary as well?'

And maybe secondary concerns about new people showing up just to shit up RPs, but that's already against the rules.

I am probably not going to be advertising much because right now our mod team is probably not ready to handle having a large flood of new users coming in all at once. The idea behind the rebranding is to make it easier for new users to become comfortable using the site, but we have no plans to announce anything to the public about it, because we don't want to suddenly have an army coming in from 4chan trying to take the place over. That will not be happening. I think a slow trickle of new users is a much better approach.

As far as /rp/ is concerned, you are free to invite anyone you want to come in and join, just don't post full links to the site proper on major sites with the intent of drawing in a large crowd. We aren't trying to do that.

The thing that makes this site special is the personable and close community we have here. We are not interested in suddenly having 400 anons show up and try to turn this into their own personal sandbox.

We used to have one but it got absorbed by /ef/ because the two were basically identical. Instead we added the #anon tag so you could just specify specific threads as anon only.

I don't want to go through that debacle again.

If the site isn't getting any traffic because of the URL, then I don't really think it's the peoples fault.

Believe me I've tried to get my fair share of people to use this site and join us for RP, but they refuse because of it's strong association with ponies.

You could argue that's fine because the point of the site is ponies, but if it has so little to do with the actual content being posted, and theres no interest in new people coming in, it seems kinda pointless to not let things change.

It's not the current users being stupid, it's the fact that there's people leaving, and noone else coming in to help keep the site steady. We can't stop the decline.

meh, i seriously doubt that becoming the outcome

even if the URL did change it likely wouldnt make a difference because it would require people to shill for the site in other communities which is a horrible idea

I honestly think naming it Pubchan would have the same issue as Ponychan. Maybe not AS MUCH but people might assume it's heavily alcohol focused and not want anything to do with it




I think a simple, straightforward name that doesnt straight up reference anything would be best

like maybe 16chan. (this is a joke)

Its not the URL.
You know whats going to happen? The exact same thing that happens every time people get all hot and bothered about hearing opinions they dont like on /ef/... everyone is going to demand shit changes, and then when it does, they are going to not post anyway haha.

Like, when we made /chat/ because people were all hot and bothered about "the absolute state of /ef/" ... the people who made the damnads dont post on /chat/ and post on /ef/ anyway or not at all.

Same with the URL, we can change it, and end a decade of internet history... and all these names in this thread that never post until now will be gone after a few days anyway.
Mission accomplished?

The site isnt dead because of the URL, the site is dead for the same reason all the sites in this little sphere of population split, and split and split, because its a bunch of drama and grudges and cliques an people who cant be satiated and shit, and changing the name isnt going to fix that. If anything, it will just cause more.

Yeah totally.
I recall a few months ago a former content creator for the Brony community came by and visited the site. He stayed anonymous so I don't know how much I believe everything he said, but he basically said that everyone that used to be a part of the community ran away from it and even changed their entire gimmick to rebrand themselves.

No but the name change might allow for more influx in general, so even if the turnover rate remains relatively high, there will still be more.

An influx of who? Chan posters? Thats what we need.
It will just make more arguments and shit posts and shit, that will just lead to more argument over the rules and more people getting trolled and more people complaining.

Like i said, i didnt even get a say in this, so whatever happens happens, but ive seen how shit goes down here for years, and this is my prediction. In the end, it will still just be us handful of people who post daily, only maybe with more shitposting and edgelording between it.
Personally, i see the name as a barriar to keep the people who would give a shit about something like that out. I like having the pony cringe filter haha.

I've seen the occasional artist doing pony stuff, I know a few of them, but it's mostly just a side thing they do if people have a pony they want done. It's no longer a main thing for people.

>>16017
it really just seems to me like you're complaining about having new people join the site period and you'd rather just keep everything the way it is.

Like I get your issues, I actually completely agree with what you're saying, that people are going to want things to change, they will change, but they won't change their attitudes about the site.

But the fact of the matter is, that doesn't mean we shouldn't change. The fear of change bringing in people we don't really want to be here, who will cause trouble and whatnot, is a valid fear, but it doesn't really make a great argument for not changing things. After all, shitty people can find the site as it is now and cause problems.

The site is dying as it is. Even if the site will never be completely empty, I believe Toy already mentioned that she doesn't really like the idea of paying 50 dollars a month for a site that only a small handful of users actually use.

i want to add that I recently got ownership of a community site myself and it costs 55 dollars a month and the thing that really makes it all worth it is that it's got a good number of active users and people are still coming and joining. If people stopped joining and the userbase declined as much as Ponychan's has, I would be hard pressed to find a reason to keep paying. And I absolutely love the site I run.

It's not like we are going to be changing things tomorrow. If you're busy right now, go deal with that and come back when you have free time. Nothing is going to happen for quite a few days, so you don't have to rush to get in what you have to say.

I stopped posting because the atmosphere got very hostile and it always felt like everyone was 2 seconds away from biting my head off because I said something they didn't like.

It's really difficult to be "the change you want to see" when you're basically the only person who isn't just waiting to get into an argument.

And when I post on the site, make a thread about a topic, it gets maybe 20-30 posts before people stop posting. (usually a lot less than this. like 5 posts total.)

You know what would help solve that? More people on the site.

I also regularly use /rp/ because it's the only place that doesn't have the above issues.

I don't see anything wrong with merging parts of /pony/ with what would be /Chat/ and /Serials/?

While I had JUST made a thread about hoping the new generation of pony stuff would revitalize the pony loving community and bring back niche things like this place, I do think a general tuning to just being fandom related is fine.

It'll still be pony at it's core for some, and it'll be exactly the same for others who already don't post with pony avatars or talk to much about the show or even don't care about it.

But hey, I haven't been here in years, so my opinion doesn't mean much.

Yeah, exactly. 55 a month is something I'm super willing to pay right now, with over like 15 users that actually post and at least 1 non-bot join request a day.

But if it went down to like 3 or 4 people, even if they were people I really liked, I wouldn't be willing to pay 55. There are ways to lower the cost, obviously, but it's not as easy for a place like Ponychan.

>>16045
this is kind of a bad argument. I've said multiple times in this thread that a lot of people have very bad experiences with the brony community. Them not wanting to get involved with a site that is seemingly still based around that community has really nothing to do with their interest in sticking around if they actually gave it a shot.

There are tons of reasons beyond just "lol ponies are cringe" why people wouldn't want to get involved with Ponychan just because of the name of the site.

Val, is the reason you dont post here, really the URL?
The community isnt going to change, just because the name changes, all the same people you want to avoid will still be here.

I will reiterate: I stopped because the environment became hostile and because when I posted a thread in the past it would get a minimal amount of replies before dying, no matter what the content of the thread was.

Both these issues could be at least helped by having new users in the site.

Probably not if we drop the pony from it, at least not because for those reasons.

Again, you are another who dosnt post here, for i suspect reasons beyond the URL, because you and Val still use "PONYville" so it cant be that "pony" is in the name that keeps these sites weak.

I mean again, like I was saying, the name of the site doesn't mean much to me in the short term but if there's anyway to generate more interest or traffic for the site that would be swell

if that involves rebranding to a more general theme I'll support it.

I mean that said for 55 dollars a month, idk for the sake of potential maintenance costs and just keeping the site up regardless of how low traffic gets, I wouldn't be opposed to supporting a patreon or something of the like

"That suddenly have an interest in the site."

I've been exclusively using this site for almost 10 years. I've been here during the shitstorms, and am still here. I don't "suddenly have an interest in the site".

/rp/ is as much of a part of ponychan as any other given board. We have our communities we like to stick to, just like everyone else. Just because we don't frequent /ef/ threads doesn't mean we suddenly don't exist or don't care about the site.

If you don't think my opinion carries as much weight just because I'm from /rp/, then great, I don't really have much else to say to you.

>>16068

But, now I'm interested to see what happens. I don't know if this place needs a major image shift or anything. In fact, I came back here under the assumption that people here still liked parts of the show XD

The primary issue with /chat/ is that our community is so small right now that it's impractical to split it between two boards. So even if people would rather use chat instead of ef, everyone is posting on /ef/ so if they want to actually interact with anyone, it kinda needs to go on /ef/.

Chat didn't fail because no one wanted to use it. It failed because we have so few regular users that there just wasn't enough traffic to make chat viable.

The point is that people are paying for this site to be up and the fact that it is only a small amount of people using it makes them question why they are paying.

And also nobody is saying that we'll only ever get good new users. But being afraid of changing the site because we might get bad ones is really dumb.

I don't want this to be about me spending money. I can comfortably pay for this site without issue.

My point in that statement is that I am paying that money in order to keep this community alive and functional. I'm not paying it just to preserve a piece of internet history.

I don't want anyone to think that comment was "I'm paying the bills so I'm going to get what I want."

I detest that sort of attitude and I have no intention of having an iron fist rule just because I'm the one that pays for the site. I'm not that kind of person.

I wasn't aware you were busy and the rest of the mod team discussed it for an entire hour before I made this post. Everyone agreed with it and I figured you being as chill as you usually are about things wouldn't have that big of an issue with it either, but apparently I was mistaken.

Again, it was not my intention to leave you out. We had an hour long discussion about it before this thread was even made, and this thread is just an extension of that discussion. So you have not been left out of anything and it wasn't and isn't suddenly being dropped on you.

This is going to be a week long discussion. You have plenty of time to have a say, there is literally no reason to be upset about being "excluded" because you aren't. The only thing you missed was the mod chat discussion, which was more or less just me asking "Should we try to do this?" and the answer from just about everybody except you was "yes".

So again the only thing that hour long discussion was about was presenting the idea to the users. There is not a single change that has been decided on or set in stone, so you haven't been left out of ANYTHING.

You're focusing too much on the assumption that the new users are going to be coming FROM other chans. This has already been discussed and isn't the case

This entire time I, and basically everyone else who wants to change the url, have been talking about Word of Mouth. Inviting people we know to use the website. Toy even specifically SAID she does not want people to just start advertising willy nilly on a bunch of different websites.

The issue is that we tell people who might be interested in the community here, but they see it's called Ponychan and that it's ostensibly a MLP imageboard, and they immediately lose all interest, because of bad experiences with the MLP community OR just a lack of interest in MLP as a whole.

The issue is that the website ISNT really heavily MLP based anymore, but the name of the site implies it is. A name change simply makes sense. People that are invited will potentially be more interested in joining a site that is clearly not dedicated solely to just one fandom.

As I've said over and over, NOBODY is saying that everyone who joins is going to be great. But the fear of shitty people joining is a REALLY stupid reason to not want to make the site more palatable to new people.

And that isn't going to change. If people show up here looking to start shit or cause problems and not be part of a chill community, we can show them the door.

Again, the idea behind this is not to get a huge influx of users. It's just to have the site better reflect the community we currently have.

I really don't think assuming the worst and being like "all our new users are gonna be toxic 4channers" is a healthy way to go about it either way though.

This is a solution. More people can be good or bad, but in the kind of position we're in, I think that kind of risk is fine to take.

We're sinking. You have to have realized that. I think doing this is better than taking no action at all. If you have a better idea, then please, share. That's the point of this thread.

I am behind this idea. I think the pros outweigh the cons. We could potentially have more people coming in, and I can finally recommend usage of the site without it having the MLP stigma attached to it.

Overall, though, this thread has shown me that there's really nothing to be afraid of with regards to posting on the rest of the chan. From what I've seen and heard, things seem to be a lot more chill than they were a year or so ago.

So as long as there's threads of interest to me and people who actually engage, I'll try posting around more.

Otherwise, I'm still an active part of the RP board, and RP is a part of this community, and that is something I feel like a lot of people often forget that. RP users didn't just "disappear" from the chan, we just stopped using the other parts of the site that we didn't have anything holding us to.

I used to like this website a lot more than Ponychan and Ponychan is really grating on my nerves. I'd like to be comfortable using this site again.

>>16101

I also became friends with dozens of other posters on that website, but most of them are gone already.

It's not about making friends, but that doesn't mean that you can't make friends. The point is to communicate and share ideas and thoughts. You framed it in a way as if to say: "they're all chunni edgelords that studied the blade in highschool".

>im only laying out my concerns because i know first hand on how chan culture is

So do I. That is why I'm confident about this change. I'm the one in charge and I have no desire to be another 4chan or 8chan. I don't care about how popular the site is or the numbers or having a lot of users. The only reason I'm suggesting this is because I feel that the site's branding is no longer fitting for the kind of content it hosts and it can cause others who may be interested in joining the community to decide against it, either because they don't like pony or because they do and then come here realizing we are barely about pony anymore. So it's just kind of pointless either way to keep up this facade when it has next to nothing to do with the content of the site.

I understand both you and Mk having concerns about protecting the site and I do appreciate it. If I wasn't the one in charge I would probably have the same concerns about it, but I hope both of you are aware I would never do anything that would cause this site to lose it's comfy, close knit community feel.

Well, I can certainly say I am guilty of this myself. After the DB died in /RP I only really posted a few times in like /oat or /pony, mostly to ask threads. Almost everyone I know who still enjoys pony RP's on Discord and R20 exclusively. I'd totally be down with moving it here, especially cause I like being able to scroll up in an instant and see posts from years back without taking literal hours to scroll in discord. (That and I enjoy adding pics) But, for many of the persons its more that they dont have to load up a whole site on thier phones to post.

The name is an obstacle to growth.

If we change the name, we increase our potential to gain new users, and thus, survive.

If we don't, we continue the slow but sure decline into death.

I, for one, would rather do something that might keep it alive rather than take certain slow death.

>Honest questions: If not pony, then what are we now? Assorted anime/furry people?

So far the popular idea is to just make this a general "fandom" site. Meaning that anyone from any kind of fandom can come here to chill and discuss what they want.

If one particular fandom gets a large enough following, we'll give them their own board.

I envision maybe replacing /oat/ with a more generalized "Fandom" board where people can post threads related to their specific fandoms, and if any of the the threads become popular enough to warrant the creation of a board related to it, we'll add one.

That is basically the idea in my head, but again this is JUST an idea. None of these are actual changes that are going to be made unless the majority are on board with it.

Yeah, and I don't really want that to happen either. That is why I don't want to advertise the change in any way. I'm not looking to pull a bunch of traffic to the site all at once. I just want to make the bar to entry a bit less brutal for those interested in actually joining a community and not just looking for another place to shitpost.

Macaroni's two chan solution:
We have a public Pchan with heavy moderation and intervention, more than enough punishment for shitty posters.
But then we have a secret Pchan that just lets things be what they are and it's invite only.

Just to throw in my two bits

I think this is a great idea. Sure im a little worried about not so great people showing up and causing problems if the purpose of the site is more generalized, but I can't help being excited at the thought of renewed traffic to this site. Now by no means would I plan on putting it on blast for everyone to see as that would guarantee a toxic influx, but just a simple name change might be the perfect starting point for renewed growth and interest. I love the little communities that exists here, even the ones I'm not personally a part of. I think it's great people have a place they can hang out with people they enjoy on an easy to navigate site like this and I don't think bringing in new people is going to make that go away. If anything, it could very well enhance them as other lost wanderers try to find a place they feel comfortable with like minded people.

I don't know either, but it depends on what kind of stuff people start talking about. If we get threads related to a particular fandom, anyone searching for stuff related to that fandom might get linked to a thread here and be interested in joining the conversation.

I think this is fine, because we won't be getting people just looking for "chans" in general. Just people interested in the actual content being posted.

Then maybe they'll explore the other boards and such if they decide to stick around.

RP IS PART OF THIS COMMUNITY

RP IS PART OF THIS COMMUNITY

RP IS PART OF THIS COMMUNITY

now hopefully by Beetlejuice rules everyone will understand this now

im just sick of certain people on this website and in this thread acting like RP is some separate community and the people there don't use the site and that the way the site is currently, it is difficult to get people to join.

Try thinking of people outside of your specific parts of this site. /ef/ and /chat/ are not the only places on this site. This imageboard is currently the best possible place for the current running RPs on the site. We can't just move off the site to somewhere less ostensibly MLP to draw in new users. We want to actually be able to tell people to come on down to the RP board without having to explain that just because the site is called Ponychan doesn't mean MLP is all there is to it and HOPING they're not just immediately turned off on the idea.

This is really apropos of nothing, I just want people to consider how changing the site up might affect other parts of the site you're not using but other people are.

Most....actually, I want to say that all of the Roleplayers here have been since the beginning of the site. 2011. Hell, Ivy, Taiga, Sas, Me....I think we've been all posting here since the very start.


So like, I kind of skimmed over everything you've posted and generally I feel like you're missing some things or overestimating how much of a change this will bring. You mention that this would bring a lot of trolls and nazi posters and such, but like....how long have you been on this site for?

We've dealt with raids countless times. From spam bots, to 4chan users, to weirdos on /pol/ thinking one of our RPers were secretly a CIA agent. As Toybox has mentioned we're not going to be advertising the new change to other sites. We'll be taking it slow. Even then, what's stopping that from happening here now?

Another thing is that /rp/ is just just as much part of this site as anything else. So I don't really like how it kind of feels like you're disregarding all of us because you don't like this idea. /rp/ is always open for anyone to come in and hang out, just as much it is for us to go to otherboards. Heck, I just don't post outside as much as I use to because i'm busy working. But I really don't like that you're seemingly ignoring what people are saying. Like how if we link ponychan to someone who wants to RP, that they will get turned off by the 'pony" part of it. Doesn't happen every-time, but it happens enough to mention it.

The reason I bring it up, actually, is because the RP board is stagnant. Almost COMPLETELY. There have been like maybe 4? New players? in the past 5 years or so? And the people who have used the site for a long time have slowly been using it less, just because of life stuff. But life stuff it may be, it means that the RPs are stagnating and we could really just use more people interested, and I think renaming the site at the very least might help.

You are a valid part of this site and Bear can tell you that whenever I make decisions in the mod chat I always try to take /rp/ into consideration before I do anything.

I suppose im really conflicted. I still enjoy ponies, and there is so much history here that I got to be at least a little part of. Pretty much all of the friends that I still keep in contact with have been made here, and thanks to one of the few friends I still keep in contact with that I made before ponies! Ponychan as it was brings so many fond memories.


Yet, I cant ignore the possibility that it may bring new life, and thus more potential bronies, if there was a side-on exposure than a direct 'this is a pony place'


Perhaps we should get better at making new life ourselves than waiting for someone new to do it. I know im guilty for not trying very hard, or being too afraid of failure (being defined in this context as being uninteresting/cringy to others) to set up new cannons. Honestly, I do have an idea for a cannon I've been thinking about.

Look, at the end of the day, its your site so i dont want to be like, the stop in the way of you doing with it what you want, or like, making it what you want because i know that would suck.
I just remember the way I found my way back here was by thinking "huh, i wonder if ponychan is still going" and i think i probably wouldnt have started posting again if it was something new, because, honestly, fuck image boards haha. So i have an emotional attachment. It was a site that meant a lot to literally thousands of people in a thousand different ways, an i think its cool its still going, and i dont see it getting much more positive traffic with that change, so i feel like it would just be ending a piece of history for not much gain.

I could be 100% wrong, idk, but thats how i see it.

>>16151
I was here the first week it started, then in 2015 i faded away because it was getting all drama and in crowdy and splintering off to a bunch of new places and most of the people i talked to grew out of it/moved on. Then i came back in 2017 right when pville splintered off, though i didnt even know that was going on at the time, but i stayed because the group was small enough that i got to know people and made some friends all over the site, and ive been a site-wide mod for going on 4 years who has delt with pretty much every single social issue on this site in that time. Mikie even offered me co admin-ship at one point, because i basically took point on every issue.

Like i said, if its true that people dont use RP because of the name of the site, then yeah, RP will get more users, but i still stand by the notion that the people who want more traffic on the site in general could do a lot more by posting around on the site, than just posting in 1 thread or 1 board. Unless they are just talking about wanting more traffic just on RP.

Im not implying that RP isnt a part of the community, im just saying, a change the effects the whole site is bigger than just one board, and the effects will effect more people than just people who only use one board. You are all saying "the site in general needs more traffic" and im saying, suppling some of that traffic would be a good start.

I was a full time phone poster for years haha, even as a mod.
Even when i was using a nokia feature phone, it worked pretty good haha.

RP is like, one of the most consistently active parts of the site, it's true, which is why I guess it might not seem like it's suffering that much. But that's really just like maybe 10 people at most keeping it up? I don't follow the other main RP going on, so I don't know how well that one is doing.

I've tried to participate in RP over the years tbh, like, ive tried to fallow the canons and stuff a few times, but everything builds on years of the same few people, and it seems kind of strict, so i just could never find a place to like... insert myself haha.
I always felt like i would be ruining something, or get something wrong, or basically just make an ass of myself.

You are all saying "the site in general needs more traffic" and im saying, suppling some of that traffic would be a good start.
The point is, that's not really giving the site more traffic. We GIVE the site traffic by using the RP board. That's what our issue is with what you are saying. You're basically implying that our activity isn't part of site activity, just because we don't post in the other boards.

Why don't YOU RP huh? Why don't YOU give US traffic? Is it maybe because you're not interested in RP, either in general or just the ones going? Do you just not feel like it? Are you too busy with other stuff to put time into it? Maybe everything feels too exclusive that you don't feel like you could be comfortable using it? I mean, those are all good reasons not to do it. Those are also the reasons we don't use other parts of the board.

I don't mean to come off too harshly, but do you not see the hypocrisy in your statements? ALL aspects of the site could use more traffic, and that means new people. Because there's nothing wrong with no wanting to partake in different parts of the site if they don't interest you.

It'd be nice if we had more people coming through. It helps strengthen a community. Not just /rp/ but as a site in general. Yes, it's scary for strangers to come up, no telling what the'll do.

But you and I are both mods. We should be able to deal with spammers, 4chaners, nazis, and so on. This isn't something you should be sweating over. Heck. Toybox had just said that we're not looking to flood the site overnight with people.

I was gonna say some other stuff, but this post basically covers it.
>>16170


Just please be a bit more respectful to us. Like, don't just disregard us cause we stick to one board. We're open for everyone, as the rest of the boards are open for us. We don't just care about /rp/ Heck. If everyone here didn't care, no one would be posting about it.

Well, like i've been trying to say, thats not what i mean to imply.
We are talking about a sitewide change, a change that will effect every board, not just RP.
My point is, if people in RP would also participate in the rest of the site, it might give people more of a reason to stay in the first place since there would be more activity on boards that arnt so niche, then maybe those people who stay because of the normal activity would check out RP.

Like i said, if there are people who just dont want to be associated with MLP, then idk what to say to those people, but maybe it sounds selfish, but to change the entire theme of the site to appease those people, from my perspective, dosnt sound appealing.

Some people use just /oat/ and just /ef/ and i would say the same thing to them, but honestly, most people who use /ef/ at least attempt to use /chat/ and most people on /oat/ only post on /oat/.

idk what lamo means, maybe you mean lmao? in which case, what?
Also, yeah, you are a mod too, but your the only mod that only participates on one specific board, which is why when we are talking about a site wide issue, its like... oh hai, where ya been?

I think all of the RPers have agreed on it. Yes. But you're seemingly ignoring all the post made by the RPers because...IDK.

Yes. So you're on our case specifically when there are people who post on /oat/ only.

And where have I been? Posting on the site. Literally a click next to /ef/


Listen, I'm starting to get the idea that you're sorta just disregarding everything I'm saying here, well, anything anyone here is saying. Which is okay. But there isn't a rule on this site that states we have to post on all the boards.

That's literally not what we're trying to do.

We're trying to get you to realize that every time you say shit like "oh but you only use RP" you're making it seem like we're not a part of the rest of the website.

This is literally like someone going "Oh yeah I live in Town" and you're like "But you only spend time on one street!".

Like you're just not seeming to realize that using RP is using the site. MANY users only use one part of the site. Using only one part of the site does not mean we are not part of the whole site, and you just don't seem to realize that.

Nobody is saying you "hate RP" or whatever, we're saying that the way you talk about and view how we use the site is wrong.

Where the rp ponies can vibe and also those who like them but don't like rp itself can see their friends again.

Mean, I've literally said we're an open group of peeps who would love anyone to join. Think most of us should post outside of the board, but none of us are really obligated to post outside. Like, if someone stayed on /oat/ or /chat/ or such, it's okay. They don't need to post else where, but they're just apart of the community as anyone else.

Which is again, what most of us feel you're saying. That just because we post on /rp/ that we don't really have a hat to throw into this. That being said, this discussion doesn't have to do much with the rebranding of the site. A question was ask in how we would feel about rebranding the site and we answered how we felt.

I wasn't even being harsh with you about it, I was just telling you that what you were saying was wrong. That's why I really don't know what to tell you. I wasn't being sarcastic when I said I'm sorry that your feelings are hurt when I was just trying to correct you.

RP people are only combative when they're treated like they matter less than others.

I think that can be said for any group, though.

I have some suggestions
>rename site to Pipeschan
>delete chan

I dont have any real suggestions, i do agree the name should change though, because , as you said, dead fandom, ponies stopped. Problem is even with other fan boards, i dont see many people staying regardless because lets face it, the site is just a small bunch of cliques now and its kind of offputting.

I'm pretty sure no one from 4chan or whatever wants to read what Czar and Tracer did today every thread :^)

Rename /ef/ to /shitpost/ though, thats a must.

Like if hashbrown hotel got it's own hype going could have a board for it where people post fan art, discuss the show, or other nonsense revolving around it.

Yeah. It did help. It did also reeeecently hurt, but, that was just me over working. Working on that Dragon Game and ALSO working at Jackbox was killer! Plus the pandemic and being super alone. But, things are getting better now.

Every time sweeping changes are proposed to the site it's always while I'm at work and unable to join in the discussion. To be fair that's only twice so far.
I personally don't hate the idea. I've always found it odd that there's banners with Season 8+ shit on them even though everyone here claims to have stopped watching FiM after Season 0. As long as it is still called "Ponychan" at the end of the day. Ponychan: The internet dumping ground for cringy fandoms.

That wasnt a tantrum, that was just getting work done.

I can't remember the specifics anymore, but I recall thinking you were throwing a bit of a tantrum when you started saying that I had to stay off your lawn.

But that's beside the point because one person's principled argument is another person's tantrum, and it's pretty fucking subjective.

get rid of /fan/ and archive it

/oat/ and /chat/ shouldn't coexist at all

they're literally the same boards but one allows mature content and the other doesnt

leave it at that for now and figure out the rest later

I know you will get my point that changing the name wont solve any of the reasons that the site is slow, just like changing /ef/ didnt solve the problems of /ef/ and making /chat/ didnt make any of the people who "hate /ef/" actually leave /ef/ and all the other things on this site that people get all riled up about on a dime and then just go back to how it was anyway at the end of the day.

Take that up with Mk. All moderation of /ef/ is either done by him or cleared by him. I don't handle any of that and neither do the other mods. I made an agreement that he would be in charge of it and I stuck to that. He got to re-write the rules and everything.

Hardcore pony fan from /pony/ here. The only red flag I'd raise on this idea is that it is just possible that G5 will be sassy and clever enough to attract a resurgent fandom. The available samples of the graphics and CG animation don't leave much room for hope, but who would have predicted great things for G4 in March 2010? Leave a way back open if G5 blossoms.

Personally, I have zero interest in the "trolling type culture" that Aqua (>>16092) expects for the new pchan.

Again. We are not getting rid of the pony stuff so if people from the new fandom want to come here they are still more than welcome to.

So it's not like we're really losing anything by doing this.

hours late to say this but honestly the reason I never post outside of /rp/ is because that's where my friends are. everyone I already want to talk to on a regular basis, I can do so on discord.

but all the people who I have tricked into helping me write the in-imageboard-post-form first draft of my shitty oc comics that will never exist wants to stay on /rp/, so it is there that I remain tethered

Checking back in on what happened after I konked out.
Just want to say to MK, sorry if us /rp/ folks cam off as hostile at all, I can assure you that wasn't the intent. It just felt like ya were disregarding us due to only using one board when there's plenty of other people who only use a single board.

And thanks for making sure to include us, Toy, it's appreciated. I like the idea of /oat/ being more open for general fandom posting and the system for deciding what would get to be a new board, basically how we got /rp/ in the first place way back when.

After all probably be just me and a handful of others who would frequent such board than be as active as the mods hope.

yeah, that is also a concern of mine

my fear is making it such a general base could flood out the regulars we have now

which could possibly open the flood gates to trolls

however, thats the worst case situation that i dont likely find to happen hopefully

my general take is that we have a small niche community that is fine as is

Yeah, and aside from avatarring, I'm pretty sure most people lost interest in ponies a while before it even ended. I don't know if it was brought up in this thread, but in the mod chat, it was suggested that if we change it from Pony to something more ambiguous, it might get outsiders more interested and willing to post because of the lack of brony-related stigma.

>>16406
Honestly, our userbase has kinda stagnated for a while now. I do hope we keep the regulars, but some new people would be nice. And who knows, it may end up being good for us in general.
>which could possibly open the flood gates to trolls
Let's be honest, that's been an issue for a while now.
>my general take is that we have a small niche community that is fine as is
I don't think niche is too bad, but I don't think we should be so niche that we never get new people ever.

True. I know I've been banging this drum for a long time, but we've lost a lot of good posters because of the trolls we already do have and have had. I really can't blame the people who left because they felt alienated. And that's why I left for a while too. When we have an official consensus, as in we officially decide that we are definitely going to change the name and everyone is ok with it, I'll let them know, since I'm still in contact with some of them.

for example i suggested last night that we have hold a thread where users make new banners that doesn't have to be pony related

i like the idea of expanding the horizons of new themes besides just one

it is beyond established that a good portion of the site has moved away from pony

so i guess the idea wouldnt hurt

though i would prefer a more unique domain name though then "pchan

but it works

I'm all right with the proposed changes. As long as /pony/ is allowed to reflect the upcoming Generation 5 and possible related popularity of the new show, that will be enough. Should there be enough interest in adding other shows, that's up to the admins to judge and implement.

Ah. Yeah, I didn't say anything about it either because I didn't want him to be banned. I don't remember if I even had any real clout at the time, so I don't know if my objection to him being banned would've meant anything.
He was also working on his own imageboard software, but the GitHub repo hasn't been updated in years, so I think it's a dead project.

It's possible for there to be different communities, even if they serve the same purpose. That's how it was with pony-related chans at one point.
>There was a obvious majority against it and it felt like it was done to appease someone in an inner circle.
There was? I admit I don't really remember that. I admit we probably should have been more open/democratic about it. Whether or not we do change the name, I think it might be a good idea to take a vote on what should be done with /chat/.

I wholeheartedly agree with dragoni-senpai-desu.
That fateful day was like-
>Go to work
>Everything's fine.
>come home to see concluded discussion about /chat/-/ef/ split.
and the number of /oat/-/ef/ crossposters on /ef/ dwindled substantially since that day since a lot of them ended up going to /chat/. So /ef/chads really essentially got the short end of the stick. And a lot of them only ever wander into /ef/ now is to be belligerent toward the people who choose /ef/ to be their regular dive.
I had to kill off my old post'sona because he no longer fit the zeitgeist. and now dragoni-desu-kawaii-senpai doesn't even know who I am. And only really shows up for the storytime thread.

I feel like something is being missed here with a lot of the arguments against the brand change.

As mentioned here >>16441

>What's to say it does anything?


Even if that's the case, where's the downside to that happening? I feel like, worst case, nothing really changes and we go about our business as usual. We'll still have the same people, and more or less the same boards. A place to post pony content, a place to hang out with everyone, and a place to rp. We aren't losing those things.

The point of the brand change isn't really to get rid of what we have, but moreso to make us more presentable, and be less misleading to the content that actually gets posted here. We're opening up a little bit. The site isn't and hasn't been about just ponies for awhile now, so I feel it's fine to recognize and accept that.

MLP Is certainly what brought us all here in the first place, but we've all gone beyond that at this point. It's no longer just MLP that keeps us talking with each other.

Nothing is fundamentally changing. We're not losing anything. And I feel that needs to be stressed super hard here. We're just prettying ourselves up a bit and putting a more accurate sign at the front door.

Then q and a about what boards will remain, then at the end "btw, if you want to say something about it, i suppose you can here" haha.

From what i can tell, its going to go forward, because it seems everyone on the mod team is arguing for it aside from me, so its kind of pointless to paddle against the current.

I like the pony theme, and I want it to stay. We are a small niche, and we should preserve what this site is. Cultural significance and stuff.

If those who occupy the space despite the pony theme have been here just fine,

but that is why the political filter was in place for that very reason

like yeah, i get it, /ef/ is lenient with offensive speech but i still dont think that should require a whole new board

>why make redundant changes?

Why have a redundant url? /pony/ is really the only board left that has any kind of pony-related content.

I don't think it's redundant because it's misrepresenting. If only a small part of the website is dedicated to what it's named after, why have it named that?

I can't really argue against "I like it, so I want it", but I feel like overall the change will just be healthier for the state of the site.

Being not exclusive to ponies means we can branch out a lot more and talk about a lot more things without it seeming "off-topic".

Plus, it makes it a lot easier to recommend the site for use to people who aren't into MLP as a whole. People being turned off from using a site based on its name, even though what's going on isn't even really related to it, is a problem in itself.

What is it you're afraid of losing? We'll probably still have MLP site themes and headers, and there wouldn't be anything stopping you from avatar'ing ponies either. I'm just not really sure what you'd lose if this change occurred.

though it still makes little to no sense

theres pretty much only 2 serial threads there

meanwhile /ef/ has the story thread

you could make /chat/ both and it wouldnt make a marginal difference

/gala/ was a serial board at one time and was gotten rid of because it served no use after awhile

and even /b/read wants NSFW access as it seems

/ef/ hit 50000 posts a bit over 2 days ago, and we are up to 501528 now, so we average around 5-600 posts a day on just that board, but the argument seems to be that making more boards, about more fandom, and changing the URL will make the site "in general" more active, and i think it would just spread it thinner, and i made all the same arguments that you are making about how /chat/ died instantly and stuff, but again, it seems like the choice was made, and it more of a "We are doing this, so people who disagree, take a shot to convince us otherwise rq" than a discussion about options.

I don't think that just because we used to be popular, it means we should continue to try and "preserve" it by riding the sinking ship as deep as we can manage.

As for the things you think you'd be losing, again, I don't really think anything is going to change enough to make those things real concerns. "pchan.net" even seems to be the popular pick right now, which realistically is just a shortened version of what we have now, which would still be recognizable for those who have left and may return in the future.

And if you're worried about future people who are interested in MLP, again, we'll still have our MLP related board. We'll still have these things. MLP isn't going away.

It makes sense to me.
If there was no incoming show and MLP was truly dead I wouldn't have much of a soapbox to stand on besides what I personally think,
but since there is a chance for resurgence this would be neglecting to take the chance.

Thats more evidence to what I said earlier.
>This OP is shaped in a way that says, this is happening.
>Discuss new names lol.
I think the best consensus I agree with is we should wait out for the upcoming release of MLP and see what happens.
If nothing happens, we can pretend to have this discussion again.

When you split lobbies that's less people in the pool.
> it seems like the choice was made, and it more of a "We are doing this, so people who disagree, take a shot to convince us otherwise
Yes, that's why we are speaking up. Toybox is just probably not going to read what everyone has to say!
This thread has 600+ replies. Its obviously controversial.

I have firsthand experience of many people refusing to participate because of the pony motif.

but anyway, my only thoughts that i find myself thinking is a good idea is merge /chat/ and /oat/

put all the serial threads and general topics in /choat/ (joke name but nice as an example) and keep and political and offensive stuff to /ef/

in the meantime keeping the URL and theme as is seems like the best of course of action for now

though i personally dont have an issue with trying new things on the other hand

The only reason the site was popular at the beggining was because of Moony. It died when he left. It improved, but it died lol.

Rename it to 8chan , at least you will get a bunch of new shitposters flocking in, even if they are all pedo's and terrorists.

Also the expression is "fit" the bill, not fill.

I think only us and Ponyville are still up. tons of other chans still have pony boards though (oddly, most of them are Russian chans)

Based on what i normally see when shit like this goes down, its really the first few people who post that really have all the say, and everything gets wrapped up before bed, and the rest is just fluff.
Like i said "unique decision making time-frames" haha.
Like maybe im coming off a little butthurt, but like i said, i found out about all this major change the same way any other user would, by seeing this thread posted with "well, we spontaneously talked about it in modchat for a whole 60min beforehand and you wernt around, so we just went forward" as the reason why. Like, im in the wrong for being busy haha. It was the same reason i got butthurt when i woke up and literally every rule on /ef/ was changed one day because "it was what the community wanted" when really it was just what the most outspoken 2 people with a good amount of screen time wanted haha.

The fact is, even if we arnt in the minority, the people who agree with us are more apathetic to the situation, and this is just going to keep getting brought up every few weeks like it has been till the people who want it, get it, and their mind is already made up.

So yeah, im being pretty defeatist, but after years of saying "wait hold on" to snap decisions, i just dont have the wherewithal to fight this up hill battle, esp when it seems im the only mod that isnt fully on board and just here making arguments in favor. Like i said, I wasnt even given notice, so its like, whats the point? Esp when it just going to keep being brought up by those who want it until it sneaks through, because the people who are in charge clearly want it too.

Sorry drags.
Maybe the URL will come up for sale and we can buy it and be all like Why, You And I Can Run This Plant Our Selves! haha.

I'm aboard changing the name to Pchan, but if you think about it,
its so similar,
people will ask what the P stands for.

Changing the name just to spare them from having to think or read pony seems redundant.
Not to mention if people won't go to a website because its themed after a certain cartoon character, then they are probably not very open-minded, inclusive or accepting.
You say there's people being held back from coming here because of the /pony/ motiff, but you also said
>We'll probably still have MLP site themes and headers
Seems contradictory.

If there is anything this thread has taught me, its that I dont really have the time to keep up with the rest of the staff on shit, and im out of touch with the community.
Those arnt good traits to have as a mod haha.

Honestly, its something ive been kind of thinking about anyway, and also kind of hinting at to toybox, because i go back to work in 2 weeks, and im going to have even less time.

But it really seems like, every time something like this comes up, im told im being a hindrance, sometimes even by the people im fighting in favor of haha, so im starting to feel that my time is getting way to split, and since im going to be splitting it even more soon, its just going to lead to more frustration when i want to be apart of these goings ons, but i have responsibility elsewhere.

Idk, i planned to come to a decision by the 1st, even before any of this happened, because ill be gone 10hrs a day anyway, and i have a house to maintain, and projects to finish and shit, and i feel like im just going to keep getting blindsided by shit, and come in hot headed and butthurt because i see it as an "interruption" or a "surprise" when i have to deal with things here suddenly while im in the middle of something else, and again, thats not serving the community very well. I just dont operate on the same time frame as most internet folks.

Idk. Its something i have to think about some more.

I think as a member of the mod team who makes efforts for this community, I don't think its fair that you are not included in decisions that effect said community. You are more then just a janitor, and your opinion matters.

As I said before, /chat/ doesn't even have 10 pages of content. It was brought back to appease a few choice people. And they don't even use it. Toybox should listen to what everyone has to say, not just those that are the loudest. As Admin she should care.
It was a change that just split content, and now an even bigger change is being pushed just to shake up the monotony.

I dont mean to make it sound like i was purposely left out, mind you, im just not at my computer or my phone as much as most, hell, i dont even use my smart phone until after dark haha so where an hour seems like reasonable notice to most in this position, its like nothing for me haha.
Still, like i said, everyone else is on board, and its perfectly reasonable for toybox to want to change things on her website.

The problem is, i like monotony haha. The part of a relationship where the romance is dead and your just 2 people who are familiar with each other is my favorite part. Thats honestly the reason im here in the first place, because i purposely waited until the fandom died down to come back, because i dont like large groups. Which is why i dont see the "pony" aspect being a bar of entry as a "bad" thing. Its pretty low, and tbh, i dont care to talk to people who would be turned off by it anyway, or else i would use like, any other site. But this is the only site i do use, for that reason haha.
But that personal view cant be a reason to stand in the way of something others want, ya know? Needs of the few, ect.

Okay, so I just woke up to this mess and let me address a few things.

>This OP is shaped in a way that says, this is happening.

>Discuss new names lol.

This is false. What I did was set up what proposed changes are. The FAQ was to stop repeated questions about the proposed changes. What did you want me to do? NOT tell you what we had in mind? None of this is set in stone it's literally me just presenting the idea. There is nothing about the OP saying this is what is going to happen. You're just being upset about it because you can.

>>16479
>we'd just be a smaller U-18 chan clone.
U-18 chan is LITERALLY nothing but a furry porn site. What the fuck are you smoking? This is the most disingenuous argument you've made so far. We are absolutely nothing like U-18 chan and none of the proposed changes would make us anything closely related to that.

>>16527
>Toybox should listen to what everyone has to say, not just those that are the loudest. As Admin she should care.
I do. I've been listening to everybody here and read every single post made in this thread. Again, this seems less about you trying to do what's best for the site and more about you trying to drag me through the mud for some unknown reason.

>>16479
>If those who occupy the space despite the pony theme have been here just fine,
>why do those who like the pony theme have to lose it?

Because there is a large majority that don't. So why do the large majority have to continue to have a theme that doesn't represent them or who they are? I have said repeatedly that the pony stuff on this site won't be removed. It will just not be the main focus, because that hasn't been the main focus for the site for a long time.

Overall this seems more like a personal thing that dragoni has against me than a valid concern. Nothing you've stated is true in any real way. It seems like you're over-exaggerating things just to make me look bad, and I'm not sure why exactly.

Why is a furry site called U-18chan ? That sounds like Under 18 chan, which makes them sound like pedo's, which makes it look like they want to bring even more vilification apon themselves. What an odd name for a chan about yiffing.

Funnily enuf ive been there before, not because im a furry, im completely anti furry but i was looking down a list of chans on Allchan and clicking them and it was one of them.

That could be kinda funny, actually. Brings up a situation where we can joke about what the P stands for.

I don't think it's fair to say people aren't very open-minded if they don't want to participate with a site that's based on something they have no interest in.

Also, that's not contradictory at all. We'll probably still have MLP site themes and headers, just like we'll probably eventually have site themes and headers based on other parts of the site. Why get rid of them? That's not the point of all this.

He bankrolls Ponyville, so it is to see how much he resonates with the whole "I don't want to pay 50 dollars to keep a tombstone online".
But he's pretty sentimental and ponies and ponychan made a huge impact on him.

I really hope he can keep the pony legacy alive at his own place. For so many personal fancies

My guess is based on this:
(from Wikipedia)
"German submarine U-18 was a Type IIB U-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine during World War II. It was laid down 10 July 1935 and commissioned on 4 January 1936. It served in many U-boat flotillas during its service."

And their slogan is: "Being rammed by larger ships since 1914"

>None of this is set in stone it's literally me just presenting the idea
That's not true, the OP states that the Mod team have been discussing it. It's an Idea that has been floated around for some time, and there is no indication in OP that we have a say. Its to answer questions about the upcoming change.
And as far as I know, there are three mods really, and the one that actively participates the most feels left out. Though he did say it wasn't on purpose, he was just busy.
as stated by MK here.>>16509
>So yeah, Im being pretty [u]defeatist/u], but after years of saying "wait hold on" to snap decisions, i just don't have the wherewithal to fight this uphill battle
I believe this big change to this site should require all the mods being on the same page and in agreement.
also
>its really the first few people who post that really have all the say, and everything gets wrapped up before bed, and the rest is just fluff.
I agree with this statement. ^

>U-18 chan is LITERALLY nothing but a furry porn site

It has a broad range of boards and it has general discussion board. Although it's not the best example of a board comparison, its one I tossed out there.
Reasons being,
>its an image board
>it has no specific theme.
Sorry it wasn't an adequate comparison.
>What the fuck are you smoking?
Why the hostility?
>>16534
>I do. I've been listening to everybody here and read every single post made in this thread.
Okay good, I wanted to make sure of that because I felt that, using /chat/'s re-inception as an example, that a decision was made before hand and implemented without any chance of rebuttal.
>more about you trying to drag me through the mud for some unknown reason
I'm not dragging your NAME through the mud! I didn't insult you.


>Overall this seems more like a personal thing that dragoni has against me rather than a valid concern.

Don't paint everything I've said as me hating you. I actually like you Toybox. This is /site/, and I want to try and get my voice heard.
You are the admin responsible for making these decisions, and I am using this thread to call out the decisions you made in the past as example to your decision making process, and paint them how I see them. This is /site/, and I want to try and get my voice heard. I'm not the only one saying they aren't on board either!

Your entire argument seems to be built on the idea that I don't listen to anyone and that I'm just going to do whatever I want regardless of what people say, and that isn't true.

You keep bringing up the /chat/ thing, but the way you're presenting it is disingenuous. It wasn't just brought up because one or two people wanted it. It was brought up to deal with a concern people had. I've explained that the main reason it's not used as much is because we just have very low traffic numbers and very few of our users cross-post between boards. Because of this, the people that wanted chat tried to use it, but most of them also used /ef/ so naturally the board that was getting half the traffic ended up getting less used.

The entire reason why /chat/ is slow is because we just have very low user numbers.

It was brought back because we were hitting a point in which it was either create another board or cause a huge rift in the community due to the way the rules on /ef/ work, so I chose the less elegant, but more reasonable solution of bringing back /chat/, because the alternative would have been either banning a bunch of people, or telling a bunch of other people to go fuck themselves.

So yeah, the choice to bring back /chat/ was not to 'cater to' any specific individual. It was to help alleviate a stressful split in the community that would have otherwise alienated part of it. So as much as you're trying to paint this as an example of me making a snap decision based on personal whim, no. I did it because the alternative was splitting our already small community apart even further.

The OP states that the staff was considering it, and Toybox opening up the discussion here for the userbase to be able to give input before any decisions were made.

The staff only talked about it to hammer out what it would mean if we DID do it, but that was a brief conversation before the conversation was opened up here to make sure that everyone got to give input and their say.

No one is being excluded from the conversation here, everyones voice matters

No, my entire argument is not!
I made a considerable effort to the argument as to reasons why I want the site to stay the way it is. You seem to be offended that I I mentioned you.
>personal attacks against me
Please link them to me.

The main reason I'm bringing up /chat/ is because it was stated by people, they were against it, and it was fortold that it would just die.
The discussion is meaningless if its not applied in the decision making process.
We discuss things to explore ideas and come to a consensus.
Bringing back /chat/ wasn't really a bad thing, it was a solution worth trying.
It can be undone, and really doesn't change much.

You are talking about changing the entire site's look. There will be no undo button like removing a board.
I'm not even completely against the idea, despite me making noise, but I feel like I have to.

The problem here is that most of the people on this site don't actually care about that. There are a couple, but they're a minority. Let's say that new pony show takes off and gets a big fandom, and they come here. Then what?

They're not going to want to post on /ef/ or on /chat/ or any of those, and if they do, they'll just force all the posts they make towards ponies. How is this any different than a bunch of people from 4chan coming in and claiming the site for themselves?

I know you still like it and I know there are people here that still like it and that's fine, but the reality is we're not really a pony site anymore and haven't been for quite a while. The majority of the people that post here are just left over from a fandom that died. They have moved on, and only stay here because they made friends here.

Continuing to force the pony narrative on a group of people that have little interest in it doesn't really do much. Even if there is a resurgence, those new posters are not going to mesh with the people we already have, so it's not going to help in any real way outside of making /pony/ active again. And like I said, /pony/ is not going away, even if there is a rebrand, so like even if there IS a resurgence, those people can STILL come here and STILL post in /pony/, even if that's not the main focus of the site anymore.

So ultimately all I see this as is wanting to force a fandom on a bunch of people who are no longer interested in it just because that's what we used to be.

I'm not trying to scrub everything related to pony from the site, not in the least. The /pony/ board is staying, all the pony related themes are staying and their names are not being changed. Basically the only real difference here is that all the major pony related imagery will be focused on /pony/ while the rest of the site takes a more neutral tone.

>The problem here is that most of the people on this site don't actually care about that. There are a couple, but they're a minority

While I agree that they are a minority, we should look at this us Pony V.s Non I guess.

We open ourselves to a general theme, with the possibility of getting new users? Where is that advertising going to come from?
On the other hand, this site has 10 years of a pony banner. I think the possibility of old users being reminded we exist through new pony is greater then people somehow finding the site from whatever the new name will be. Not to mention possibly new Pony people finding us through a leftover chan from the previous generation.

>They're not going to want to post on /ef/ or on /chat/ or any of those

You don't know that for sure.
Just because its a pony website doesn't mean people will exclusively post such. Ponychan as it exists today is a monument to that.
>rest of the site takes a more neutral tone.

I am honestly like super confused why people think being an MLP site is somehow LESS of a target for trolls and bullies than a general purpose site would be.

I guess maybe they think we'll just be a bigger target because there's more fandoms to make fun of?

but, whatever, just kind of thinking about this specific thing.

How is the name "Ponychan" with images of ponies on every single page, and a theme related directly to the show a "neutral tone"?

To me that sounds like a site about ponies, that is all about ponies and nothing but ponies. There is nothing "neutral" about it.

That is literally what this is. Changing Ponychan to PChan and removing/replacing the pony related banners. That is basically ALL this is.

No one is saying 'ponies are not allowed'. All we are saying is 'we want to allow more than ponies.'

In fact if we open up to other fandoms I would like to see ponies mixed in with characters from other fandoms on our banners.

The only reason we don't have other fandom boards is because this is PONYCHAN.

Because that implies it's about ponies. Pony - Chan. A chan about ponies.

You expect people on the internet to not immediately judge a book by it's cover?

The guys from /rp/ have straight up said they had people turn down joining their RP groups specifically because "ponychan.net" was in the link they sent.

Mk supports keeping the name specifically because of this reason. He sees it as a force field of cringe that will keep everyone who is not part of our community out.

This is a real issue for site longevity at this point. It's pretty funny how basically everyone that's tried to introduce new people to this site in the last couple years have experienced this. It just shows how toxic being associated with ponies have become.

Also yeah I get that Gen 5 is going to be coming out soon, but like are we actually expecting lightening in a bottle? Seems like a bad strategy at this point. Seems a lot like a sunk cost fallacy to me.

I just don't understand why people are assuming that the website will have nothing connecting to its past. Like the fact that the website's name will potentially be name pchan is a direct link to the former ponychan. Not to mention that I doubt you're going to be changing any of the board names honestly.

New people wouldn't even understand what /ef/ comes from unless they decide to look it up, but I doubt most people would even put that much effort.

>>16624
I doubt it would become anywhere near as insufferable as you're making it out to be, and it can't be anymore insufferable then making a post and waiting a day for anyone to respond because the boards are dead. That's much more insufferable.

Not all the time in modchat, sometimes in threads, but always with dismissal or apathy.

I've literally suggested/support all those ideas over time, short of changing the name of the site.
Thats why i see it as just coming up with excuses and all you really want it the name of the site gone, because i always got stone walled on that shit haha.

Also I was more saying that we're moving in that direction. I've dealt with that issue on a few different sites, and once you reach that point there is no real coming back.

It's better to rebrand now and use our current tiny but dedicated population to try and regrow the site before it gets to that point.

It only got shot down because you listened to like 3 people asking for /chat/ to come back.
/chat/ got brought back, its dead, and nobody cares, and /ef/'s moderation got loosened.
Seemed like the decision shouldn't have been made.
So this actually reinforces my point, that you should listen to what the community you manage has to say.

The only person i know its keeping away is that sassy persons friend who judges a book by its cover, and im okay with those people staying away.

If i wanted to post on a generic named focus group friendly site, id post on reddit. But ponychan has existed for a decade, and i dont know why it needs to be "rebranded" to appese 1 persons anicdote and a binch of imaginary people.

Like i said, i dont care if every pony banner was scrubbed tomorrow, (though id personly want to keep some) and replaced with all different fandoms and stuff, i dont care if new boards get made, and it fine if you want to replace the default theme from cloudsdale to simething more manilla, but i dont support ending a sites run that literally thousands of people used and view as part of their history "in case someone is turned off by the url".

And i think YOU would be better off as the admin that brought ponychan to new places, rather than the one that scrapped it and just used the server space to make something new because you thought the alternative was "too hard".

No one asked for chat to come back. That was entirely my idea.

You're literally just making things up at this point.

I wanted to add in rules against using racial slurs and I got a lot of backlash about it, so I didn't push it through. Instead I gave moderation of /ef/ to Mk because he seemed more in tune with what the community of /ef/ wanted than I was. I created /chat/ as an alternative to /ef/ that DOES have rules about using such terms.

Literally NO one asked for /chat/ to come back until I suggested it.

There have already been multiple people in here stating that this happens to them. And considering how much of a negative stigma bronies have surrounding them, I don't really think it's too surprising to hear that people in general are turned off of the idea.

And it's happened more than once. With more than just my friends.

You are literally downplaying this kind of thing so much it's insane, and I'm really not sure what side of this is blowing this change out of proportion more.

You wake up tomorrow and the "ony" in Ponychan is gone. That's the only change that is made. What is different? What have you lost? Literally all this does is make it more outsider friendly. I don't know why you think this is going to suddenly make this some kind of foreign land noone will recognize.

I've tried to say this over and over and you ignore it every time I do. Staying a pony site serves no purpose. It's not what we are anymore, it's literally just a filter. History is nice, but not if it's at the risk of having new people not wanting come around.

/k/ thread as well

Most "new" users we get are old users come back to see if we still exist, and stay because its not a pony circle jerk anymore.

Yes, i personally think that someone who is turned off by such a mondane url and judges things so superficially isnt worth crying over, but thats subjective.

But what i do know, is more people seem to be okay with an update in themeing over just scraping the site and starting over, so thats a better place to start.

I don't know, maybe.

A site is much more than just it's plain domain.
If a business takes up a DBA is it no longer that business? I would say that a lot of business owners would disagree with you. For me this sort of rebranding is just Ponychan DBA Pchan, and not a "starting from scratch" scenario that you're making it out to be. It's still the same base users, same base culture, same base organizational structure, ect. It would be for all intents and purposes the same entity, just going by a new name.

If you take the google servers, change the url to goog.com, then have "google.com" redirect to goog.com, where the functionality is basically the same, only they decided to call it The Goog, but it still functioned exactly the same way, then yes. It's still Google.

In fact this is exactly what Mountain Dew did. "Mountain Dew" technically no longer exists. They took the exact same drink, changed the label to "Mtn Dew" and guess what? Everyone still drinks it and knows what it is.

Okay.

How about we do this:

Instead of directly changing the URL here to something else, I'll see if I can get the Pchan Url and have it redirect here. So that way if you post links, you can use the pchan.net url in the links which will at least give people a chance to look at what you're posting without immediately being turned away?

Will that work for now? That way we can test out the new URL without physically changing it until we see if that makes a meaningful difference.


Would everyone be okay with that?

Those two or three people are just as valid as everyone else and I am at least going to make an attempt to so something that takes their concerns into account.

No one that uses this site regularly is "just" anything. RP users are not 'just' the people who RP. The pony users are not 'just' the left over pony fans, and Mk/Dragoni are not 'just' 2 people.

I am doing everything I can to make this work for everyone in some way, and that is why I am continuing to argue, because I want to come to a compromise everyone can at least agree on, even if they are not fully happy with it.

just make the pchan link as the site URL itself by default

then set "ponychan.net" to redirect to pchan.net

That is literally what I was suggesting we do. The ponychan.net url is paid up for 3 years so it would be redirecting for at LEAST that long, and probably as long as the site remains active.

No, like i told you, thats a benifit, but the real reason is because i dont want to see a site that was so prolific change its identity because its scared someone might cringe at it, and the fact that i only found my way back here, because it was ponychan, not some ponychanesq generic image board that "dosnt turn people off" and a good chunck of the reason i work so hard here is to preserve that piece of internet history, not to just run another generic social media outlet.

Emotional argument, yes, but i feel like i have a right to emote about something that occupied almost 1/3 of my daily life, and make that argument.

It seems a lot of people agree we need to at least expand beyond ponies. That seems like it is something that is going to happen. HOW we actually go about doing that has not been decided yet.

As far as it being a temporary thing, again, that was undecided. Regardless of how it was going to go, if we decided to do something related to the URL, both Pchan and Ponychan would remain valid ways of accessing the site for as long as the site remains active.

Well if you just wait 2 weeks my opinion wont even be an issue, because like ive been saying, when i start work idk if im even going to have time to post, let alone mod haha.
I know im in the minority in a lot of things, i just see the place differently i suppose.
Probably like how i buy classic cars and keep them going, not because they are the best, and not because they impress anyone, but because i think its cool when i get one person to say something like "oh dude, i remeber that from when i was a kid, man i had good times!" Haha, and this site is like a classic car.
Yes, i know phisically the data that i send will still go to the same server, but thats really not the same in sprit. Its like, i still use newgrounds, but if they changed the name to nground and got rid of pico and tankman got rid of the weeb shit and dress up dolls and changed black and orange to green and purple... Yeah, id still be watching videos, and yeah, the data transfer between my computer and their server would be routed the same, but it wouldnt be the same, and i guess im advocating for the people who arnt here atm, but in the future who feel the way i do, and want to go back to an old haunt, and then maybe get sucked back in haha. This sentence is just to see if your reading haha. Again, i have nothing against growth and change, but something as finite as ending the run of a URL, which again, i know the data transfer will be with the same server, but it just seems like a means to appease people who never wanted to be here in the first place, and i dont feel as if i owe anything to those hypothetical people, like i owe the hypothetical people who might want to come back to a place they use to call home someday, and feel the way i do about things like what the site is called.

Damn, this must be how fren feels, all the time haha. Poor guy.

Anyway, like i said in that post, its not so much about what the site looks like, as much as what its called.
But yeah, i guess that would be fine.

Honestly, if the pony stigma is such an unbearable obstical, and you can have 2 URLs on the same server, why not just start a new img board fresh, copy RP over to it since they seem like the most intent to escape, and then you can advertise it and stuff the way you see fit. Then pchan will still exist, and no one will have to worry about any pony stigma, and this majority of users who are sick of the name can post there?
Then you'll have total creative freedom to build whatever you want and us nostalgia nerds will have our classic car haha.
Ill split the server cost with you and re emburce you for the URL, and if i dont pay up, merge them.

To be quite honest I had actually considered doing this provided it's not too much strain on Zeke, the mod team and my wallet.

I've had to make changes even for the other site. There are actually a few things that I did for that site that I've been tempted to do here (namely fixing the horrible spaghetti code that is my flag implementation) but I'd rather not have to risk breaking things. You can't always just copy and paste configuration files, changing a couple names. That's not always guaranteed to work.

Sure it's really cool if they have pacman, galaga, street fighter 2 and a few other retro machines tucked away somewhere inside, but if they never added any modern machines and insisted they keep the arcade the way it was when it opened in the 1980's, you of course would get regulars that just come for the nostalgia feel, but you're not going to really draw anyone new in that didn't grow up with those games. Eventually the regulars will move on, move away or die and you're left with an empty building.

So it's okay to keep some of the old flavor but you need to kind of keep up with the times if you want to stay relevant.

Right, but what i mean is, if nothing changed here going forward, how much work would it be to maintain? Like, i assume updates would need to happen from time to time, but how much work is that?

Your seeing it more from the management perspective and im seeing it from the sappy nostalgia "this site preserved by the pony historical society" perspective haha.

I know you want a more booming social media site and the pony stuff is a hindrence, and i just want to keep a site up for people to visit when they are feeling nostalgic and the pony stuff is the allure haha, and i think both points are valid.

Actually, no. That is not what I want. What I want is for people who already post here to feel like they can share it with their friends who may not have been into ponies without having to go, "Okay, hear me out. I know what this looks like, and I went through a phase, but trust me it's not what you think." every single time.

I have absolutely no intention or desire to make this site into something that has wide spread appeal in order to draw in as many new people as possible. I'm just trying to lower the bar for entry for people who might have otherwise been interested in what our community has to offer but we're turned off by the fact that there is a layer of pony jizz covering everything.

Where as im happy to sit on this "tombstone" and get maybe 1 or 2 return people a year and have someone to say hi to when they get here haha.

I literally came back to this site because it got slow so im totes chill with that.

Honestly, i want YOU to be able to come back in another 10 years and be able to see shit like the trash bar thread, as it was haha.

I would be more than happy to shepherd a slow ass site to preserve this little bit of history. Id prob even use yours too, because i have friends who dont use this site because of the name, that might use yours, but i dont give a shit about if they use the site or not haha. I just want ponychan to continue to exist.

I actually don't see what the issue would be with having a skin option for those still wanting the "pony site". I mean most of the changes would be so minimal that I doubt it's impossible to do, but I don't know about this subject at all.

It's literally not about how many more people I can get. It's just making it so if someone DOES want to come here but isn't interested in ponies, they have a reason to at least check it out.

I don't want a slew of 4chan rejects piling in, just like you don't. Which is not what the goal is. The entire idea was to simply make the site more palatable to those interested in joining our cozy community without having PONY slapped across their face as soon as they walk through the door.

It's kind of like how you said it was impossible for you to join /rp/ because you felt that there was already a long history you weren't a part of and you felt unwelcome because you didn't know everything about what the RP was about and were afraid of messing it up?

That's how new users to this site feel when they show up. It's not a very inviting feeling, is it?

Again, it more than just the skin.

Its like preserving a cathedral to me. I dont want it updated, i want the future to see how it was in its time.
Thats something that i feel like people are going to wish happened more on the internet in the future tbh.

What you are talking about is literally what an archive site is.

And just like these old relics, they usually are surrounded by velvet ropes that prevent people from writing all over the walls.

What you're basically asking for is to have an archive site that people can still interact with, which is like saying you want a museum where people can draw on or add to the works that are already there. It kind of defeats the purpose of a museum, doesn't it?

Again, if it were logistically feasible, I would be fine with just making another site for everyone to move to, but Zeke is already donating his free time to managing this place and it's not right or fair of me to ask him to double his work load for free. He's already doing us a huge favor and I can't just demand he pull double duty to make us happy.

I don't have the technical know-how to run a site on my own, and I don't have a big enough income to actually hire a site manager.

I feel like it's basically inevitable that if we actually do go through with this that people are going to act like they weren't listened to. And if we don't do it, other people are going to act like a few voices prevented the change that everyone else wanted. I think at this point no matter what happens, some people are going to feel like their voices don't matter.

This is the issue with coming into these things saying that the decision was made ahead of time and the discussion is just window dressing. It's super disingenuous and basically takes the whole discussion hostage from the start.

I don't really know exactly why I'm pointing this out, except I guess to just like. Have it be said. Because that's what's happening here.

Like we're deciding a middle ground and that's good and all, but the way we got to this point was kind of shitty and only happened because you acted like everyone was just going to ignore objections from the start.

I honestly probably shouldn't have said anything because it's just going to stir things up, but I really don't like how this discussion has unfolded.

Well. It's not just that. The site is not just going to stay as it is. You're going to have raids, porn spam, people breaking the rules. The spam bot going haywire and banning people arbitrarily. The same issues we currently deal with.

And if you decide to become the soul caretaker, every single one of those is going to fall on you to resolve. I'm not trying to say that running a site is a stressful, full time job. It's not. But there is more to it than just dusting the counters and wiping away the cobwebs every so often.

It's not really a fear that people would leave, but more about splitting the userbase between ponychan and whatever the new site would be.

Figured I'd stay out of this discussion until it'd calmed down a bit, since what I was hearing about it from friends sounded a lot like the days before that split...

But I kind of feel like the fact that we couldn't survive another one...is why we need to try and have a site that is more welcoming to people outside of that community myself.

As someone that watched Gen 1 back when it was what was on TV and then got into FiM a little late, the welcoming atmosphere of the "less pony focused" boards were why I stuck around and became a part of the community, not the promise of new episode links.

And as much as I enjoyed a lot of FiM and still like the original stuff that this board wasn't exactly for, I really doubt it'll draw in a new crowd that wants to know the origins of Friendship is Magic.

Sure other options might be trying to appeal to Pony Life fans, or the new Netflix thing, but I'm not sure that'd be any more the same community than trying to appear more welcoming to a more generalized base with how different both of those shows look.

Or that the community is even the same as when the ponychan name started for that matter.

That said I honestly don't really care about the name anyways myself...especially since I'm not sure how much a part of "whether our site is approachable or not" it actually has generally been. Or that Gen 5 or maybe 4.5 won't require its own willingness to adjust to a new culture.

>>16771
>>16774
>>16776
I do feel like this sounds like it might be a reasonable thing to do, if it doesn't add too much strain to either the servers or to Zeke's workflow?

Hopefully the people who used the secret board would also be willing to give the rest of the site a chance once they were comfortable or as things related to their interests came up occasionally but it might help break the idea that our site is super insular if the site didn't look like a community that was difficult to get into as a newcomer.

I'm not sure how much extra work that would be to create and maintain though, so definitely a matter of whether it'd be too big of a burden to the staff on the "Is this viable?" end.

>>16777
>>16778
Does seem like a way to tell people "Hey its okay to like other stuff too here" and well...how long has it been since we've had banners that are that relevant to people who joined late on in the show's lifespan beyond that?

Like if they wanted to join because they saw the movie in theaters, or because they watched the various Equestria Girls movies, specials, or shorts? I'm not really sure I've even seen banners that focus on those aspects either.

Fair point, not that I personally know what goes down in /tartarus/. I suppose /test/ was a secret board too...might still be a secret board?

I'll admit that I'm not someone who uses as much of the site as I probably should myself, having lost track of what is or isn't a /chat/ appropriate thread over the years and never having been chan savvy enough to keep up with /oat/ at all.

I've mostly stuck around the places I felt welcomed, or was enjoying myself even though unfortunately they weren't always the same places other people felt welcome for whatever reason.

Attention!
So I just had a big discussion with everyone in the Mod Chat and this is what the proposal is. (Note: this is JUST a proposal, it is not us saying this is what is going to happen)

The url would change to pchan.net.

Ponychan.net would still redirect to this site.

A new option in Settings will be added called "Ponychan Classic." what this does is change the aesthetic of the website to look much like it currently does now. It will say "Ponychan" instead of "Pchan" and only display pony related banners.

By default this option will be turned off, however if you enter the site from ponychan.net instead of pchan.net, this option will be turned on by default. You can turn this mode on and off at will.

This way every single person can choose how they wish to view the site.

Thoughts?

Yeah, i literally learned that term tonight haha.

Like i said in the mod convo "im trying to explain something that i dont even know is possible in a way that if i was tasked at this moment to make it happen, the only way i could think to know how" haha.

I can code enough to run a simple static website, and i can do a linux, but there is more that i dont know, than i do know.

Also, im hella tired so if that sounded like rambling, it probably was haha.

Im just happy that there will always be a "ponychan.net" for people to come back too.

Yeah but now you might at some point start thinking of coming up with a complex mythology for why its okay for you to post Megumin pics sometimes even though Aqua is your waifu and that'll lead you down the slippy slope to fanfiction, which is basically pretty much RPing by yourself but more work...

Just like how DC made a Slice of Life Highschool Comic Series for Girls except sometimes Batman and/or Damian Robin/or Some Relatively sympathetic Batman Villain shows up because actually Gotham Academy while being one of the best Batman comics at the time, was supposed to be a gateway drug to get Girls into Batman because Batman is the Gateway Drug to the rest of DC comics in DCs eyes.

Except in this case, I'm not actually invested in the outcome either way beyond trying to disprove that there's no room to argue with what Sassy said. So I figure its a win so long as it was amusing no matter the other results.

So, since there's no longer a worry about ponychan not sticking around, should we still try to use pchan? Or should we come up with something different?

I don't have any suggestions off the top of my head, but I figure it's something to think about now that we've seemed to have cleared up the main issue.

Well I read up a bit and I agree that

- the community matters far more than the name. There were times people with no contact to MLP whatsoever came here for reputation only
- the burn out is still real and "rebranding and naming" might still help raking in fresh blood
- G5 might hit us with fresh blood anyway
- in conclusion the 2 URLs/names/banners thing sounds like a pretty sweet idea

I also like the meme with the mysterious p, and it's not like I ain't used pchan for abbreviation purposes either

I mean realisticly looking at the subject matters that get talked about these days , generic boards would be best

Pony
Anime
Politics
Music
Shitposting (essentially /b/ )

Delete fan, hide arch if you really wanna keep it, get rid of bed and tartarus and any other hidden boards.

If anything anime board should actually not be /anime/ but /animation/ , so it can include western stuff like hazbin, and manga or comics just cone under the same thing.

As for the serials, i dunno, seems a waste to.have a dedicated board to it , but if there was, maybe /circlejerk/

Kreamy!TensaiToKoCountry code: blank.gif, country type: blank, valid: 16838

>>16837
I've always been confused why we needed a serial board, since that was basically half of what /chat/ was back when I first joined.

And the other half was one off threads that were basically cries for help/acceptance.

People making threads where anyone can come to hang out and chat with other people about various things, including an icebreaker topic for people who aren't great at socializing seems....kind of like a serial thread to me, but also like what a board about just general chatting to try and find a community should be?

Especially if there's not so many of them that it drowns out shorter topic threads that also don't fit another board better.

I do agree with the /animation/ board instead of /anime/, though I'm not sure what the general expectations are there since I'm the sort of person who likes both Japanese Anime and well a certain portion of Western Animation so the only reason I can see to separate them is if the assumption is that most Anime fans can't play nice with others or vice versa.

Also seems like something that might help make us stand out compared to other chans where everyone has to stay in their specific box? Sure maybe we'd need to branch out more specific boards later but it seems like it'd be really neat to find out what X Western Animation shows people who like Y Anime enjoy as well as the reverse.

>>16839
Yeah, I'm not sure I've ever seen a site with /pol/ where it wasn't considered a containment zone...so I guess the question is whether the people running things expect to need a place people can get contained in for talking politics?

I do like PChan, mostly because like I kind of feel like thats what a lot of us who aren't still all in on the Pony end of things tend to call it in our heads.

Its also a Pig from Ranma 1/2 and a duck from Fatal Fury...and a variety of other things probably, so not a bad name? Well, so long as noone makes toilet humor about how its pronounced anyways.

Yeah we really don't need a /pol/ board, political threads on /ef/ are bad enough already. Honestly sometimes I wish we'd just ban political threads from the site entirely, but a lot of people wouldn't like that and would try to subvert the rule in sketchy ways.

Kreamy!TensaiToKoCountry code: blank.gif, country type: blank, valid: 16844

>>16843
Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen a site of any sort where it wasn't basically an effort to get away with essentially banning political discussion everywhere else.

Not that talking about politics is innately bad or doesn't potentially have some place in social life. Its more just that especially in this day and age its way more likely that instead of civil well reasoned attempts to figure out solutions to various issues, you're more likely to end up with everyone calling everyone else a Nazi without having read a single word they said.

Which even as a containment zone sounds like a lot of work for the mod team.

I think the political tag system on ef works pretty alright. I think having those threads be mixed in with other kinds but also filterable kind of keeps things from getting too out of hand.

>>16846
I've just felt that it gives people a chance to cool off, and not get so overwhelmed if there are political threads along side, less controversial stuff, and being able to turn them off completely helps with that i think.
I feel like, once its becomes and entire dedicated board, thats when like, bad shit happens and it just becomes a circle jerk.

But, tbh, idk if it works because its a good system, or if it works, because everyone knows each other on the board. But i suppose thats a bridge that would get crossed in the future.
I just know, while i dont want to remove politics completely, i also kind of dont want to encourage more.

>>16847
Yes, in the settings menu you can uncheck "show political threads" and it will hide them.
Its on by default, so you can see them at first, but hide them when you get sick of them, and everyone gets sick of them at some point haha.

>>16848
Yeah and whatever else it does, having a board for Politics does tell people "Hey Go Here And Talk About Politics A Bunch".

Where this toggle does sound like something that makes it very easy for people to opt out while also making it the responsibility of the OP to say they want to talk about something political in the first place.

And I guess also more social pressure to not completely alienate everyone else in the community by only posting political hottakes constantly.

Maybe not enough social pressure to stop them I suppose but still possibly more so than throwing them into a pit that exists specifically for Political Fight Club?

If nothing else from the sounds of it the system in place you can hopefully make people posting hot takes vanish if you can't deal with it, so long as they stay in the appropriate lane.

>>16852
Yeah, pretty much.
I guess it was my attempt to make it so that conversations could naturally evolve?
Like, politics are allowed on ef, so sometimes they can appear in non political topic threads, but political OPs need to be tagged.
Star Trek TNG - Hypnotic
Its kind of up to me as a mod to decide when a conversation is just evolving, or if someone is abusing the privilege to troll in a non political thread to circumvent the filter, which is against the rules, and do something about it if its causing trouble.
Thats really the thing of it, its hard to make a place on the internet where people can just, naturally talk, because there is always someone with the goal of ruining peoples times.

But yeah, if we did a dedicated political cage match, unless it was heavily moderated, which would be a lot of work, it would basically turn into posters posting the most extreme left and right wing shit they can muster and taking each others bait haha.

Because no one uses it. So why would I make a /pol/ board that removes politics from /ef/ when /chat/ is basically /ef/ -politics already?

I feel like it's the presumption - which might be right or wrong - that /ef/ would still be the popular board if you disallow the politics on /ef/.
Like they obviously want to use /ef/ because of its popularity, but they don't think the amount of allowance allowed on /ef/ is the reason that /ef is popular at all.

I literally just tried to get rid of that and you and others threw a fit about it, which is why chat was created in the first place.

There was literally a 2 day long debate over this "allowance" and now you're saying it's not a big deal?

What? No I'm not making any statement on what is or isn't important here.
I believe that the large allowance allocated to /ef/ is what makes it popular, but that's my belief. I don't have empirical evidence on hand to prove that.

I'm just thinking out-loud on their thought process. I'm commenting here, not much else.

I don't want a board named /pol/ here either.
Honestly I'm not really for changing any of the board names (outside of pony) even if we rebrand the site.
I don't think it's necessary, just change the theme, banners, and some of the on-site text.

All just my opinion though.

This is going to be a general fan site, and as long as we have pony fans here, there is no reason to remove the /pony/ board.

Fair enough.
I would've thought that it would be rebranded as a general "fan" board dedicated to threads about different fandoms, but it's cool also if you just want to make more boards instead for dedicated fandoms instead.

>>16894
Again, how I view it working is that if a particular fandom gets enough traction to warrant its own board, we'll create one. As people said G5 is coming soon so if we do see a resurgence of pony fans, having the /pony/ board will facilitate that.

However, since the majority of the people that use this board are no longer pony fans, and don't care much about G5, I feel it's not right to simply try and rebuild the fandom from scratch here while disregarding the users that have been here for years.

If this site were being run using something other than a chewing gum and duct tape back end, it would be trivially easy to have ponychan.net and whateverchan.net both resolve the same exact info, show two different banners and headers, and give people two completely different experiences using the exact same databases and posts/threads/information without splitting the community in any way. You could even tailor the board links based on which URL people are using the access the site, and then have any unlinked boards behave the way that the hidden boards behave now.

Well, what we discussed in mod chat is pretty much spot on for what you said in function. The thing that is missing from Toyboxes explination is that its an alias, not a redirect >>16784

So as you said, what the website displays will be contingent on which URL you enter, but they will both draw from the same data pool as far as posts and access to boards are concerned.

>>16904 Yeah, the function would appear the same. However, I wasn't talking about either redirects or aliases. An alias would work well enough that most people would learn to live with it, but there are enough wonky side-effects that I have always avoided using them myself. for link-heavy dynamic applications like forums, and I would imagine imageboards, they have major drawbacks. but the upside is that it's easy to do - more chewing gum for the pile.

Well your not really explaining the difference between your way and the way suggested as far as why its more optimum, you just listed the features/effects and the effects seem to be about the same between what your saying and what we are proposing.
If you have a better technical suggestion, I wouldnt mind hearing it, because afaik (which isnt much) thats exactly what an alias is to a T, but you sound like you have a lot of negative criticism of how exactly this site is coded so you can probably explain what is different between what you are proposing and an alias at a technical level and then maybe zeke could consider it, because just stating that the site is "held together is chewing gum" and insinuating that you could do it better isnt really helping that situation improve.

>>16907 An alias is one site that acts as two. My ideal solution would be two sites that act as two, while still sharing information between them - which is exactly what I did on the forums that I operated for over half a decade (and which happened to be the solution I arrived at after experiencing the wonkiness of aliases). But like I said, I don't think this is really feasible given how ponychan runs its database. That's not Zeke's fault but rather the fault of the out-of-the-box platform upon which Ponychan is based. Aliases have their drawbacks, but they 'work' and they're super easy to implement, and in any case, people will learn to live with it.
>>16908 I think we're talking about two different things here.

Hmm, that was literally my suggestion because id didnt know an alias option existed, and it got shot down quite hard because it was seen as a "split" and the alias thing was more agreeable as being a simpler and more effective solution.
Maybe aliases have improved since you used them, but also, the other way would also require building an entirely new site from scratch and double the maintenance work load on the staff.

It's only a split if you keep separate databases for site A and site B - which is what most people would do by default and which all out-of-the-box systems do by default - but that's not required if you can make your sites draw from the same database. As I suggested, you'd post on ponychan.net and it would show up on whateverchan.net, and vice versa, while still being two completely separate sites.
>Maybe aliases have improved since you used them, but also, the other way would also require building an entirely new site from scratch and double the maintenance work load on the staff.
It's nowhere near that difficult. In effect, you copy-paste the site code and run it as a separate site. However, in practice, you keep the site-specific code in an easy to toggle form, ideally using a single boolean that can be checked using if statements where needed, so you make your big changes to the main version, and then copy-paste it with the toggle option for notponychan.net. And if you want to work on something that is specific to one or the other, you do that within the segments that are toggled based on which site you're working on.
When I was doing this, it was literally the same code, with two files that I toggled on/off which set my site specific definitions, variables, and procedures. compile site A, toggle the options, compile site B, upload/update A and B. takes seconds.

However, as I've said, I'm going to assume that this is impractical in Tinyboard due to the nature of Tinyboard, so although that's how I did it and would have done it, aliases might still be the most practical option for Ponychan.

I think the best way to proceed is to entirely discard the notion of attracting site traffic.

We don't do anything. As a general imageboard, there would be no reason why people would want to hang with us as opposed to other sites which are much larger and more established in their topics of interest, unless they were already our friends.

There are lots of other places I go for information, entertainment, etc. The reason I come here is to see how the "old gang" is doing. We are a fraternity (or sorority, if you prefer) of sorts. That's the point of "P-chan".

I think the general direction of leadership should be to accommodate users already here.

Some practical suggestions:

--Go with "Pchan", or some variant of the spelling, for the site name. Unpretentious. Own the history. However, if people like, they can invent their own origins of the name.

--Discard /pony/, and let go of the MLP banners. The point is that if users want to invite their friends to a "chill site" or to participate in a discussion on a certain topic, they can do so without feeling embarrassed or having to explain themselves.

--Keep a "Pchan Classic" theme for the sentimental types, like me. This has already been suggested. It could be implemented without a technical overhaul. An MLP serial thread would be a sufficient nod to the past, mostly for posting pics, and every now and then for bits of news and general spaghetti wielding.

--Don't add new boards, such as a /pol/ board. Keep it simple.

Then again, I don't pay the bills.

As far as removing the /pony/ board, its still an active board, and really, if just that board existing makes someone "uncomfortable" enough that they wont use the site at all, thats kind of on them.

I cant explain it on a technical level, but basically both urls will sample from the same pool of data for things like boards and posts and tags and functions and stuff, but for things like banners and default themes, they will pull from there own separate data bases so that if you go to the original, you get the pony banners and cloudsdale as the default theme, and if you go to the new one, you get whatever the new banners and default theme will be.

In my opinion, this approach lacks (or eschews?) a unified value.

The difference between having an alternate "skin" and an alternate "experience" may be subtle; but there is a difference, if, after all, we have to choose one over the other.

>if just that board existing makes someone "uncomfortable" enough that they wont use the site at all, thats kind of on them.

You don't think an "homage" serial, such as /b/ enjoyed on Ponychan for a decade, would be sufficient?

I'm not a "too cool for Pony" guy (check out my novella), but I think it would be more in alignment with the needs of this particular user base.

>>16928

We can't control the outcome; we can direct our intent.

No, i dont think a serial thread could replace /pony/ and i dont think the users of that board would want that.
Also, the point of the URL thing is so that people who want to come to ponychan still can, even if they havent been here in years.
I just had a friend stay a few days with me over the weekend that i actually met on here way back when it first started and he agreed that "yeah, if i ever thought of going back there and it redirected to another site i would just figure it was dead".
So idk why anyone could have anything against ponychan continuing to exist, esp when all the conversations and everything from the new site would be from the same data pool.
Just seems like a nitpick. If you dont want to use the old site, dont, and vice versa, there is really no negative side to it.
Plus, its the only way that everyone can agree on.

I guess so, but for the record just stating "there is a subtle difference, but there is a difference" doesn't quite make clear your cause of concern.
Is the issue that you would have to make a choice of which theme you would want, or the avenue with which you choose it? Because i dont see a reason that ponychan needs to die if it takes such little effort to keep it alive while also giving people who dont want the pony themes and a more generic URL to share the opportunity to have it.
So, im not trying to be rude by calling it a nitpick, but your issue seem kind of vague and undefined and i dont know a better term for when someone says they have an issue but doesn't elaborate aside to say that the problem is "subtle".

If we're going to make a step into the future--let's do so, boldly! Let's have a rabbit, not a bag of rabbit parts.

Do you know what this "let other fandoms in" sounds like? Sounds like exactly the same as an artist going furry just because there are more people there. And then they get surprised that their original follower base leaves the artist.

Just look at this thread. 95% weaboo and furry shit.
Just because ponychan are basically abandoned, the mlp fandom is going strong.
I just happened to set up mlp related site a few months back, and I got over 3k users and 100k pageloads only after a few short months. Mlp is dead? Your site is dead.

If you want to go furry and weaboo then do it completely. Rebrand, nuke /pony/, /oat/, etc. Don't try to mix your now basically weaboo and furry user base with mlp. Because some time later your "new" userbase (if any) will start questioning and "harassing" the mlp boards. Its inevitable. Then you will delete it just to keep your newly found furry and weeb users. Literally every artist who gone furry,weeb deleted their earlier mlp works, or at least completely dissociated themselves from their earlier name.

I had good times here many years ago. Now I maybe visit 10 times a year. Reason? Everyone moved to other places.

>>16940
I agree. Time to let this site go. I rather see it gone than see it turning into weeb and furrshit.
Seems like furfags and weaboos got into the mod team. Or at least turned into ones.

Your opinion would hold more weight if you didn't constantly insult all the people who are no longer big fans of the pony stuff.

Also, I have no idea who you are.

Seems to me that someone on /mlp/ caught wind of this and has decided to attempt a very pathetic mini-raid.

You know what's an insult? You trying to holding onto the "pony stuff".
Just nuke this whole "ponychan" and go full weeb/furry. Clearly that's what you want. And sooner than later you will, even if you are denying it right now. Why wait? Especially since you wrote "no longer big fans of the pony stuff". Why are you running a site called ponychan which main focus (was at some point of time) "pony stuff"? Looks hypocrite.
And clearly my insults hit the target.

>Also, I have no idea who you are.

I got an email today from the server host about an attack against our IP but it didn't last very long. I can only assume the two things are related.

Just checked on the 4chan thread we were mentioned in and the irony of it is hilarious.

They are shit flinging so hard and turning around and acting like they are the last bastion of a show about love and tolerance.

/mlp/ is basically like every other board on 4chan. A cesspool of hate and bigotry. I mean I already expected this, but it was kind of crazy to see it first hand. Civil discourse is basically impossible on that website.

The show is dead, it's heart is, at least. All that left is a bunch of anons wearing it's skin and wanking each other off over how superior they are to everyone else. It's pretty sad. If this is the culture that most anons come from when they wander over here, it is no surprise why they always present themselves as flaming douchebags the moment they arrive.

Overall there are too many people who believe that 4chan culture is the only "correct" culture and anything that uses a similar format MUST be used in the same way 4chan is used or else it's ''wrong".

The truth is though that 4chan culture is literally that. The culture of 4chan. We are not 4chan, we have never tried to be 4chan, and quite frankly we have no desire to BE like 4chan.

The place is cold, uncaring and toxic.

>Q: "So what is actually going to change?"
>A: To be honest, not all that much.
Yeah, I am not even sure if YOU believe that yourself.
Face it, I see messages on here defending change in the face of Armageddon.
"Lets get rid of the anonymity" is something I see thrown around.
I see one mod who does not carry this idea of the revamps even, while the more vocal one is really in favor.
I see the defense that people change ( my dude ) and therefore the site must change.
I see some literally claiming not to be a part of the Brony community anymore. ( Then what are you doing here ? Sunk cost fallacy ? IRL friends you know through the board ? )
the problem is not pony failing you guys, you failed pony !
Yes 4chan has failed pony too, but in the very least they stand by the morals of their own convictions, they are excrementposters and proud of it, doing things for the kekz and the lulz. They are complete idiots. Should that place change into the last haven for my ponyfix I would lament it but I would certainly go there a lot more since many members admitted already 'their ride of pony is over', for shame.
Now what you should have done is just launched PerfectChan, PipeChan, PracticalChan, Pubchan or whatever you want to name it ( PalChan, Pubchan, PavementChan... out of ideas now ) as a sideproject preferably before the corona waves started rippling because of the increased internet usage. You would not have gotten the negative spotlight as much if you did. But you can't fix that RN its too late. You know a new project like that would not carry its own weight since the user base is seemingly way too small. So you need to assimilate PonyChan. Remember, you let it get this far yourself.
> But the pony leaks happened HERE !
Yeah, I know. Look at their interaction, you knew the party was ending back at S8 and did NOTHING.
Also the biggest if not only reason that those leaks did not go on 4chan was because of the stigma of that place ( a well deserved stigma ).
Almost like the board decided to keep the course and not to compromise, not even in the face of Armageddon, and NOW some people are getting cold feet. Good luck, take my blessings, you need it.
I hope to get at least some good feedback, else I might as well acclimatize before I see myself running to 'the troll board' a lot more, in which case I guess you guys can call me the F word.

So something i think that needs to be made clear in this really productive conversation, esp for those just joining, is that ponychan . net is NOT going away and will remain functional.
The site isnt going to change at all, if you go to the ponychan . net URL. It will be exactly as you see it now.
The banners, the theming, its all going to be the same.
The only difference is if you dont want the pony stuff you can go to (i assume) pchan . net and it will be more generic pony-less theming.

The boards arnt changing, pony posters will still post ponies, but some people in the community want this change, and its honestly a fair compromise.

But Ponychan is NOT going away. I fought to make sure of that, and i have peoples word this is going to be the case.

2 cents for the double URL: Ponychan and Fanchan, "pchan" will sound like a half-measure and defeat the purpose of rebranding the moment someone asks what the "P" stands for, Fanchan follows the similar theme of the original stating it's clear purpose and leaves the potential of expanding to someone else in case you have a large influx of some other fandom, HazHotelChan, or whatever a good shorthand for that fandom is.

>>17012

Because its just superficial.
The "community" will share the same board data, it just if you go to ponychan . net you will get ponychan in all its glory, and for the people who think thats a problem, they get whateverchan . lame.

But for those of us who dont even want the change in the first place, it might as well not even be happening if we just continue to use the original URL.

Yeah, toybox wanted to make a whole shift to a Hazbin thing or whatever, but that was more of an "toss it at the wall" idea, and its been pretty much universally agreed that no one wants that, so, its going to be more generic.
But for me, and presumably you, whatever the difference is, wont even be noticeable because ponychan . net will still be functional, and still be as it is.
Yeah, it means technically the site wont be hyper-focused on ponys, but really, it hasent been in the better part of a decade.

/MLP/ is currently and will remain the source for that hyper focus, as it should be, and ponychan currently is and will remain the more lax "ponys are neat, so whats up?" place, as it should be.

our community as a whole has essentially moved away from pony-like content

what else can be done here

when i was admin i tried my damn best to try to revive the pony fandom for this site

i even tried to convince ponyville to merge with us and nothing worked

if this change is the hill this site dies on then thats how it sadly has to be

it's better for put forward some sort change to let it remain stagnate, dont you think?

I mean, the alternate name can be whatever, as long as "ponychan" remains functional to those who want it.
"pchan" i think is just the default name we are using to talk about the situation. Also, i think the general vibe from the regular users of the site is, that what the "p" stands for being a mystery would be fun (it stands for pipeschan) and since we pretty much all call it "pchan" anyway, it would be easiest.

Again, i dont think the goal in this is really to be like a competing social media outlet with anything, it mostly so that the people who already use the site can link it to their friends who have a stigma about the pony thing.
At least, thats what has been expressed.

Basically, yes. We're just providing an alternative version of the site. None of the pony content is being removed. It's just going to be an alternative filter you can turn on or off.

Right.
I think maybe we should make a new updated thread with the situation as it is on display, because people keep reading the OP and not the literally thousands of posts under it that got us to the situation as it stands today.

Thats why i think we keep getting the same complaints over and over and having to repeat this.

You're looking at the name thing wrong, sure it's fun for current users but the kind of people that went "ew pony" would probably do the same thing over pchan once they figured out what it stood for, since it's not that great of a leap of logic and everyone calls it that anyway.
Hell even i do and i've barely posted.
"Its a pony site trying to escape stigma" vs "it's a fan site with filtered pony boards"
Dont half-ass the entire point of the whole endeavour, is all i'm suggesting.

Since making my post I have learned who Rorschach is and perhaps that is why I just get a reply of 2 letters. I could be seen as a troll or something worse.
Naw, I really want an answer.
Not to mention that it should be easy to when essentially what you are asked to make a rebuttal to "Never compromise, not even in the face of Armageddon".

Heck, I am willing to change the quote if you wish. Would you like one about history from George Santayana, or one about icebergs from the captain of the Titanic ?

Or perhaps I got it twisted, perhaps the long-term-plan is to get rid of dedicated pony in its entirety.
If that is the plan, just say that and don't lie about it in the first place.

Maybe I am going to get a 2 letter reply to this one too. That would confirm everything I would hate to see.

the thing is, none of those things have the appeal and of FIM, so your only hope is to commandeer existing structures

I've come across fandoms MUCH smaller than FIM, yet they've been impactful culturally, have high quality resources and their dedicated communities.
There's 100s of brony sites out there so I wouldn't say it hurts anything with this one changing direction.

Yes, I put it quite brash, but still, there have had to been reasons why. Timing being an important factor.
For the sake of pie, G5 is right around the corner ( or at least the movie is ), if it sucks it would have made for an almost perfect 'crime', if it was awesome then it would have caused an influx of new users that could have played along with the side project as well IF you take out the doom and gloom from my original post that is.

There is nothing desperate about this. None of this is a move to "save the site". The site is doing fine as it is. It's not in danger. Literally all we did is go, "Hey, so I noticed no one here talks about ponies anymore. Should we change the name?" and everyone was like, "Yeah. Might as well." except Mk, who basically just wanted to set this place up as an interactive museum so we just decided to make it so it could be viewed in two different ways.

What motivates you to exclusively think that you have to talk about that if your name is what it is ? How restrictive is that for the mind ? Think 420 chan is only about drugs ?
Wait hold on let me check that for a bit.
(oh hey nice sections here actually). But you will completely understand where they all came from, the same 'root intrests' as it were. pun intended. Heck I can probably post with this picture right here and at least reduce the amount of names I will be called for doing a stupid.

Want to run this place like the following?
> this place is like our local neighborhood bar where we all knew each other for years
That is awesome. but then you better recognize why there was no motivation to change the name up till now. The pony did not leave overnight you know. What went wrong? A sheer explanation that you were attached to the name is simple enough. But then why the lie in the original post ?

Heck, why the lie of

versus
> The site is doing fine as it is.
It seems to SCREAM at me that the story is not as simple as it is being laid out. Its a simple process of connecting some dots to see that either someone is being untruthfull, unforthcoming, or does not understand motivations.

Lets talk about 'motivation to stay as a newb' I can understand anyone going
>>15882
>"oh i was never super into MLP"
with a name like ponychan, but to
think that when you change the name to Perfectchan that things like that wont happen anymore?
In this I can ask "Do you even understand what motivates (new) people to stay or stick around?"
Claiming that Anon posting should remain open isn't a way to keep people around, its just to keep the barrier to entrance low. Big difference.
Yet if you do away with it, meh, whats the use at that point? What motivates people to hang around here then instead of on Reddit?

Oh, you know, people stopped watching the show. Then the people who did watch the show had less people to talk to. So the community leaked members over the years. Now the show is over, so there's not really much to talk about. Maybe when G5 starts, but I don't think there's enough around who care. Those who come will be put off by the dead board and the content that is here. Mods don't want to pony. Users don't want to pony. Those who want to pony have left.

Bro we just don't post ponies much anymore, so we're changing the name to reflect what we actually do and allow us to more easily get our friends involved in things.

It's really not that complicated of a change.

If a book is named after Pokemon but once you open it up you realize its just a bunch of Naruto it begs the question why its still named after Pokemon.

It's just misleading.

There was "no motivation" to change the name until now because the mod team had been previously trying- and failing- to breathe more life into the pony aspect of the site.

It didn't work, most likely because there wasn't enough interest throughout the entire userbase, so here we are.

We're not changing the name because we're getting ready to suddenly jump ship on MLP and completely abandon it. We're changing the name because most of us lost interest years ago. A solid majority of the userbase doesn't talk/post/think about it anymore.

>>The pony did not leave overnight you know. What went wrong?
>Oh, you know, people stopped watching the show. Then the people who did watch the show had less people to talk to. So the community leaked members over the years. Now the show is over,
Yes, I know, thank you for the explanation. I already had to accept that this is how people look at it like that over here.
insert the whole spiel about /MLP/ not being REAL fans and that worst they are besmirching a kids show, doomsaying about how the show is dead in its heart, and all that is left is a bunch of anons wearing its skin. Man those rose-coloured glasses and memberberries sure must be awesome huh ? I can not change that even if I think you are wrong. No you are not wrong in noticing that noone wants to pony anymore. I think the owners are wrong for observing this trend and choosing the weirdest time to get rid of the pony in ponychan. You have to strike the iron when it is hot, not when it is cold. What I am questioning now is the motivation to do something about it NOW
> Maybe when G5 starts, but I don't think there's enough around who care.
This fuels the question "Then why NOW? "
. A good time for the change would have been at the start of the Corona crisis for instance. But it gets worse.
> Those who come will be put off by the dead board and the content that is here.
Again I do not know if you understand people's motivation to stay, you need a hook or something, something special, something that makes you YOU.
To shelf something that used to make you YOU is like hanging up the sword of Damocles above your head yourself.
Not only because this information would be easy to find but since the motivation behind the change seems to be 'because the user base grew away from pony'. What is this curious person who finds that information going to think ? My guess is that it is somewhere between bad and worse, and it is easy to come up with examples for the Brony community after all. After all you guys are coming up with reasons to move away from it
> Mods don't want to pony. Users don't want to pony. Those who want to pony have left.
There is a reason why I asked why it would not be launched as a sideproject instead that would eventually transcends the 'mane' project. I never got an answer to that, I insinuated myself that it would be like that. If the userbase really does not want to pony anymore then the transition would go smooth enough and there would never be a sword of Damocles to speak of since you would literally have a new thing that can be made or ruined by nothing but the power of its own .

I do not think I could be clearer on this, my woes so to speak . At the same time I am afraid that you guys are not even willing to answer my questions or even adress my issues. Almost like as if I could just have restated "Never compromise, not even in the face of Armageddon" and added "If you wanna build something new, just build something new, do not try to renovate and reinvent something for which roots you try to run away from. I think an S&M dungeon that tries to relaunch itself as a cchildren's hospital under new management has a bigger chance for success"

We've "made something new" before. The Ponychan and mlpchan split happened. It was terrible.

If we split our community by keeping ponychan alive and making a new chan for the people who want to move on, that's it. This community is dead. We cannot support that kind of split. It will create more problems that it would solve.

It's not as simple as "just make a new one if you wanna be something different". We literally do not have the numbers to support that kind of decision.

>I think an S&M dungeon that tries to relaunch itself as a children's hospital under new management has a bigger chance for success


We are not trying to be more successful. We are trying to more accurately depict what we do here.

File: 1616932941162.jpg (365.13 KB, 1024x569, 53940 - Friendship_is_magic To…)

So wait, let me check if I've got this new set of discussion right, since it's that range of late and early that well these are a lot of text walls to read.

The people complaining about the site changing now are people who mostly post on a highly Generalized Chan site, one might even say The Highly Generalized Chan site, on their My Little Pony board....

And they're mad at us for daring to not focus entirely on Friendship is Magic for our entire site, even though uh, 4Chan also doesn't feel the need to?

And they're also maybe going to be mad at me specifically for pointing this out despite probably being people who are only into My Little Pony because of Gen4 in the first place and yet seeming to insist that they're the true fans, while I liked Gen 1 of MLP?

Does this seem about right? Like I'm not sure why determining who is the True Fans matters anymore than uh...us being a Purely Pony Chan anyways when a lot of other chans can just have one board and be just fine. Especially because uh....

To put it simply, people are capable of liking multiple things, something Bronies have shown maybe more than the usual amount of ability of doing in the past, with all the "Redrawing Characters as Ponies" or "Making Youtube Jokes of FiM Characters as Pillar Men from JoJo"...

Or making memes about how it and Touhou are the same thing.

So uh....why wouldn't we want a chan that represents that? Especially when other people just get one by default?

Well, since you wont even use the site while you're here, id say you're the one who took the pony out of ponychan or whatever you're on about.

Ether way, since ponychan . net will still be a functional url and continue to display the site as you currently see it, seems like you just want to have a problem for the sake of it.

Which is fine if you're into that sort of thing, lots of people are.

Almost my point. What were they doing ?

I am sorry, where is that exactly ? What has been done to try to get more members ? But remember, it needed to have been small or else the sudden too big influx of new users might overwhelm the mod team and destroy the 'local pub feeling' you guys have going on. Can you see the conflicting underlying tone right there ? I was halfway kidding when I said you failed pony but it might turn out that it was more true than I thought it was. Wanna know what else ? Twitter. It is being used as backup comminucation by any organisation worthy of either their or my salt. But when I go check on ponychan twitter I get 2 accounts of which neither have posted since the epidemic started.
Speaking of my salt, ehmm, let me check. Yup, even Horse-News_> is still alive and well, keeping the flames of ever ongoing drama alit ( for their own nefarious purposes I am sure ), they even straight up retweeted Imalou expressing grattitude for G5. I am just going to add that as img.
So yeah

BIG X TO DOUBT right there. I have seen the user counts for some certain activities brony or pony related.

A : That is exactly what you guys are doing in a way.

My hyperbole was that you guys want to be more successfull than dead. You do not change the name of a building hoping the skeletons in the closets go away, because that is the moment they start to animate.
> We've "made something new" before. The Ponychan and mlpchan split happened. It was terrible.
Yes, it was terrible. I was hoping that with all the talks of how times and people and interest have changed that the same mistake would not happen twice.
Now I understand that right now you are between a rock and a hard place ( even if there is conflicting information regarding that ) and rebranding yourself ( and getting new members who are not scared away by the P word ) might seem like a not so bad idea. But I keep trying to explain how that is a mistake.
Now I did agree with Mk17 earlier about making new-chan look like an extention of ponychan being a good thing, but then it dawned on me that you guys keep telling that none cares about ponies over and over again.
Please at least try to explain who is the doomsayer here from your POV,

>Well, since you wont even use the site while you're here, id say you're the one who took the pony out of ponychan or whatever you're on about.
Saywhaaa ? Oh, I am sorry captain, that is a complete miss on your end. I mean besides the obvious that posting anonymous on a chan board from your home IP defeats the purpose more than having a sun-roof down where you keep your tanning bed.
I've been busy making my plushie.

Doubt all you want. It literally happened.

>My hyperbole was that you guys want to be more successfull than dead. You do not change the name of a building hoping the skeletons in the closets go away, because that is the moment they start to animate.


We're not trying to hide any skeletons. We're trying to have the name of our building describe what happens inside the building.

It's like having a building with a big McDonalds sign but when you get inside it's a clothing store.

Something something "Why are you buying clothes at the soup store?"

>That is exactly what you guys are doing in a way.


It absolutely is not. We aren't splitting off and making 2 websites. We're making 1 website that has 2 different modes, both of which have access to the same pages, boards, and threads.

>Now I did agree with Mk17 earlier about making new-chan look like an extention of ponychan being a good thing


It would be a lot more accurate to say that ponychan would become an extension of the new website. New-site would be the baseline and public face, whereas ponychan would be available for those who want to keep the old look.



Look dude, I don't even understand why you care so much. This is our space, not yours. We don't post ponies anymore, so we're changing to reflect that. If that upsets you, then sorry, but you don't post here and are only showing up to tell us that we "aren't real MLP fans" when we are literally agreeing with that statement.

I am not a fan of My Little Pony anymore. I, and many others here, haven't been for years. We're still here because we're all friends, and I don't understand why us changing what we look like has a big enough impact on you to have you come here to tell us how stupid of an idea it is.

We don't post a lot of ponies, we are changing to reflect that. We are not abolishing ponies nor are we banning the posting of ponies.

We are just changing the name to reflect that the content here is far more general than what a chan specific to a single fandom would have.

That's it.

This was an opportunity to claim what was done.
But if you want to take it as a story of how one person runs into a wall and the other person goes "I can run into the wall harder". Well, alright then.
> We're not trying to hide any skeletons.
And yet you are aware that the P word scares off the newbies and are about to let it go just enough so you think you can sleep easy at night.
> We aren't splitting off and making 2 websites. We're making 1 website that has 2 different modes
We aren't making 2 houses, we are making 1 big house with 2 front doors.
Then the people who take the left door can sneer at the people who take the right door and vice versa. Hooray segregation.
Either keep one as a museum and cut the cord or become a statistic.
> Look dude, I don't even understand why you care so much.
Well, why would you, I am anonymous right now.
> This is our space, not yours.
Nothing like a 'No True Scotsman' eh ?
I have already said that I have no bartering position whatsoever, I litterally can not keep you from doing anything. You guys could just ban me and I would throw up my hooves in the air going "well, at least I tried to keep them from what they were about to do" and sure, that would sting. You know why? Because I do still care. going to PPP and just downloading a session to look at somethingwont ever be the same. I care about the history that was this place, you just care about the community.
Which, why for the love of me I do not understand that this is the path carved forwards.

What am I supposed to see ? How Mikeumin wanted to do something, even something drastic like a merger, but was not able to since whom you wanted to merge with know what we both know now ?
> our community as a whole has essentially moved away from pony-like content
bah.
Worst of all I do not even lurk enough to understand when the majority started to feel this way, Something had to be done back then, Yet people are saying "good to see you, have not seen you in a while" to BMO and TGSB in THIS thread. The iron should have been struck when it was hot. The optics are all bad and the delay in doing 'something' has only assured a more and more ugly 'breakaway', regardless if we are getting 2 doors or you start to build a new clubhouse.
> I don't understand why us changing what we look like has a big enough impact on you to have you come here to tell us how stupid of an idea it is.
Would you rather I just kept lurking and then one day just as quietly leave because the pony content has drought up more than the other content I like to lurk? If I were in your shoes I would have, that way there would only be one 'loser' when ponychan becomes a statistic.

>>17062
> where were you all these years trying to keep the site afloat and the spirit of pony you seem to care so much about?
I can't tell you, But I can tell you I was not on some normie 9 to 5 job, and I am a big workaholic even in the eyes of normal workaholics.
Then everything changed once everything went to gridlock in the corona times. I do not think there is anyone whom is not going at least stir-crazy.
( Part of the reason why I think a "new clubhouse" idea should have been brought forth near the start of it all actually )

Ah ha! I figured out why I feel like I'm intruding in the OOC /rp/ chats!

The top has all these tags, including "Ask/Invite"
While way at the end in regular size text it says "So don't be shy! Come ooon in!"

I wouldn't even have read that far because it seems like an exclusive club. I see the big black box that says "Ask/Invite" and it's like "Ah, this must be game talk and game talk only. But, you know, out of character."

So, if I never intended to actually join the rp itself because I don't got time commitment for play by post stuff, I'd see it as sorta not my place to be.

I knew I wasn't being shy or weird or something about it! There really IS something that makes it feel out of bounds for me!

So, its been over a week now, and i think we have sorted out everything ITT that we are going to sort out and the compromises have all been made with ample opportunity for everyone in the community to have their say.

Here is the run down:
>There will be a new URL for the site, and using that URL will mean you will see new theming while you are here (TBD)
>"ponychan.net" will remain an active URL and will display the site as it currently stands with no change.
>The boards that currently exist will continue to for the foreseeable future.
>Both URLs will access the same data so posts/boards/ect will be accessible reguardless of which you choose to use so the change is only that of aesthetics and there is no "split".

This way, users can choose if they want the new look, and the new name, and others can continue to use/return to the site they are use to seeing.

Its been a heck of a discussion, but it think we hashed it out well, and i think this is a way to move forward that anyone can reasonably say gives both sides of the debate pretty much 100% what they want. Which is rear, so we should be proud haha.

So, that being the case, this thread will be locked, and we will be moving on.
Stay tuned for more info!
