Open Message from FiM:U to Everypony

According to some thread on FiMU, some people had problems with EP. I won't go into specifics, but I'd say the problems were systematic. Normaly, and in this case, I don't condone people running away from their problems as opposed to confronting them, but hey, it's their choice. In any case, I'm just replying to this to point out that if anyone that's here has any problems, voice them! As a member of both EP and FiMU, I'd rather not see any enmity (Which there is, sadly) or for either community to wither or die. Facing whatever problems there may be (judging by the sudden large volume of people moving, there probably are), that is the first step in fixing the problems you have.

Also, if you feel like you have to move there just because everyone else seems to be, remember : This isn't a unique commitment you're making when you sign up. Just read both!

 

That is a tasteless video. It is dull, sanctimonious, dishonest, and pointless. This sort of behavior seems to be endemic in these communities and it really must stop. If you're happy at FiM:U and left EP for x reason, then just keep it to yourself. This move is just "let's make a faux-diplomatic video to post on EP to draw attention to ourselves and our forum and underscore how totally vapid our lives must be to be consumed by so much pointless internet drama that is totally fabricated and exasperated by a few drama queens". I'm sorry I ever signed up on FiM:U.

 

@Manehattanite: Wow, Déjà vu. I thought I was back at Ponychan for a moment!

@OP I'll just say what I've always told people in this situations: Whelp. *shrug*

You can't expect people to drop hostilities, we are human after all! But this was somewhat unrequired or so is my point of view.

Yup.

 

Lol'd.

Then again, old habits die hard, as they say.

While what you said about this being unnecessary IS for the most part true, you need to start learning how to use that tone of yours. It hardly puts you in a positive light, and thus, will tend to make both the correct and the obviously rage parts of your posts mostly unbelievable.


>I'm sorry I ever signed up on FiM:U.


Considering how often you post on either forum, and the general tone you seem to maintain, *shrugs*.

 

Okay, in all seriousness, rather unnecessary, since the point was already made before on the original thread.

 

I haven't been around long enough, recently to have any idea what is going on here. But I have to wonder what happened recently to make you decide to join a new forum.

Not hostility just curiosity.

I have a new Australian forum I post on, but I am rarer there then I am here. It's manely my local forum that takes up my time. All the best snowy.

If I could give Manehatten reputation for his post I would.

 

I must say, I too, agree with Manehattanites post to a certain degree.
Of course, the tone of the message made it seem a bit...

 

...screw you guys
to continue saikyo's post.

 

I really don't know what went on between the people that had issues with EP and left to FiMU. FiMU's mission statement is exactly what every forum should be and I'm sorry that just can't seem to be the case for everyone. I just hope that affiliation with one, the other, or both, doesn't cause an unnecessary rift between friends.

 

As an... Unofficial medium between the two groups, I'll gladly search for ways to co-exist without people getting hostile over it.

 

I just want to point out that this was Snowy's doing all on his own as far as I know. It wasn't discussed on FiM:U before it was put here, at least not on the forum itself.

 

@Chaos: Quite True.

 

I should've been a bit more specific with which part. I don't feel such things as loyalty are necessary. I can understand it, but often times, it becomes a really blurry notion and leads to conflict. I like the forums I go to for discussing things and talking to others. When conflict becomes involved, it just isn't fun or educational. Thus, I feel everyone shouldn't feel *obligated* to go to a forums for any other reasons than their own.

I mostly visit EP as far as forums go, but I occasionally glance at Vindictus (and fan forum HQ), League of Legends, and FiMU. My activity is most prominent on EP, but I don't feel anymore obligated to post here than anywhere else. I just go wherever and enjoy them all equally, regardless of activity.

 

To be honest, I have nothing to say. Forums can do whatever they please, because they won't affect me.

Also, Manehattanite, please sort out that tone of yours. Honesty is good and all, but at least try to have some respect for others' opinions.

 

Mhmm.

Anyways, I have an account for both forums, but either way I still don't what this topic is about.

So I'll go with Test and say that I won't have anything else to say.
