    Welcome to the 3rd tri-annual State of Everypony Survey and Discussion thread (albeit a bit late). As usual, we need you to answer how you think EP is doing, and how you think it needs to be improved! Remember, we need constructive discussion! Thanks and can't wait to see what kinda discussions this one produces!

    I think we've definitely improved, and are only getting better from here. Definitely grateful of you to post this, Snow mah man.

    I would say that EP is still settling in from the recent changes to it (new admins and such), but I think that once things settle in, EP will look a lot better than it does now.

    I think EP is in a pretty bad state and really hope it can improve. As for what can help it improve, I'm relatively certain I can't say without getting modded.

    I still have the feeling that we're just cruisin' right now. Still, nothing bad has happened lately, at least on this site so we may be on the right track.

    Clop?

    [​IMG]

    Anyways, I put neutral but heading in the wrong direction. It's happening slowly, but there is less and less activity every time I come here.

    Suggestions: Advertise...? More Giveaways? Contests? Games? Friendly competitions such as character designs, signatures, other misc. arts?

    We'll see what we can do about those suggestions, Tempest. I'm certain we'll find a way. :)

    I have no complaints whatsoever.

    I'm not even sure why so many people are negative about this site.

    I put bad; stable position.

    Like the others, it's got to be the lack of activity, that mixed with staff dropping like flies and the fandom itself shaking from the core, it's not looking good.
    I just don't know which way it's going at this point.

    I've been running a secret clop smuggling ring. I confess.

    Anyway, I say neutral going bad, but only in the sense of level of activity falling off a cliff. Maybe our new admins will flip that around.

    At the current moment, I say bad, getting worse.

    Good + Getting Better = Site is great in all aspects and is constantly improving every day without fail
    Good Neutral = Site is great in all aspects, things are staying the same relatively.
    Good + Wrong Direction = Site is great in all aspects, but things like inactivity and other factors are making it stray.

    Neutral + Getting Better = Site is good in some aspects and is clearly improving, even if only slightly
    Neutral Neutral = Site is good, but could use some work; no good or bad news.
    Neutral bad = Site is good, but needs some immediate improvement to prosper, something which isn't happening

    Bad + Good = Site is meh but clearly getting better as time goes on.
    Bad Neutral = Site is meh, nobody seems to be paying much attention to the details enough.
    Bad + Bad = Site is going down the drain, no point in it anymore.


    I'd say this is a good guideline for voting.

    I dunno. EP certainly is.

    I'm all for adding clop and a 18+ section. But that will never happen. So whateva.

    The site now seems to have to activity of a dying snail.

    I'd say some other stuff, but it would probably upset other people. So that will just stay in my head.

    EP also now seems to be a 10 year olds playground.

    Hmm, there have been complaints about this site 'dying' for as long as I can remember. It's not exactly buzzing with activity, but am I the only one who's seeing a pattern here?
