    Haven't made a post here in forever and I don't plan to really respond to any replies to this but I'll put in a liiiiittle input.

    People always complain about the site being negative and full of conflict
    but you know what's really funny?
    Both of those are extremely contagious.
    If you argue with somebody, they're going to argue back.
    It's going to leave them in a foul mood most likely.
    If you talk about how the site is doing so terribly, other people will start to think so too.

    Guys, I'd hate to be the bearer of bad news and rain on your parade, but the site isn't actually as much of a cesspit as you'd like to say it is from on top of your soap box.
    Most forums don't even get nearly as many users as this one does, and more keep joining, hell, I don't even recognize some of the names I'm seeing.

    The only problem is people being so goddamn negative when it's completely unnecessary.


    Seriously? Just get over yourselves and a lot of problems on this site will vanish.

    Totally sorry if this isn't in the right section and that I had to make a new thread but the other thread got closed the instant I clicked "submit post" and that just kind of bugged me so feel totally free to lock this if you want, I just wanted to give my two cents on something that's bugged me for AGES.

    Considering how I've seen quite a few of the complaints is a toxic environment, I can't agree with this more.


    On the other hand, although I'm usually exclusive to the radio, I haven't seen very much going too wrong besides people complaining that something bad is happening. Either I'm completely naive, or a greater portion of it is in everyone's head.



    Fairly cheesy related video.

    Mleh mleh, exclusive chaaat user coming through, howdy-doody. Yes yes, I do quite believe- okay yeah whatever screw the silly voice.

    Exactly what I posted in that new thread that some coloured names made that should be locked by now. You know the one.

    EDIT
    So am I. I wasn't trying to mock you or anything... I dunno, read the first sentence in Hedonism Bot's voice from Futurama?

    Just do as i do: when there's a fight, leave the people concerned deal with the problem and go roleplay with your friends somewhere else.
    If people say negative things about the forum, ask them why they're still here and saying garbage when they could just talk with the admins about their problems and have their word in changing the site in something they like? Everyone could do that, asking the admins if they would like your idea of putting more chat servers, or having a little cleaning in a certain section of the forum? Like this, everyone would be happy, and the site would get even better. We'd have more members, and Everypony would become a reference as much as EQD.

    But, there again, i missed a lot of things here, i've been away for a while, and i don't know if the admins have changed or anything. Maybe i won't gowith my statement, now that i think of it...

    And the only thing this thread is doing is feeding the stuff we're trying to get rid of. I'd suggest lock or delete.

    I want a brohoof/like system just for these kind of posts.

    EDIT: Yeah, maybe it would have been better off as a sorta PSA or in a Community Post.

    Well, sheesh, at least I'm trying to get more involved in the forums lately.

    Yeah, Zephyr said what he wanted. That was the only point, right?

    I support the brohoof/like system.

    And, we should move this discussion to at least the serious discussion area?

    Yeah. A like system would be pretty neat. I'm not sure it's possible, though.

    Umm...Are we all going to ignore the bizarre heli-bunny? Because there's a huge, animated heli-bunny. Why is there a heli-bunny? It looks really cool but huh?

    Dang, that thing is hidden very well, under the wraps of sheer openness, while being completely unrelated. Well played.

    I know! I particularly hate it when people cover things up by painting them florescent green and arranging neon signs to point at it. It makes Las Vegas practically invisible!

    One does not merely speak of the heli-bunny.

    Well, are there other aerial mammals we're not aware of? We know of the Pegasus but what else is there?

    A jet-powered badger? A ferret that propels itself through sheer irritation with gravity like a fluffy balloon? I know I want some answers from this guy:

    But, silliness aside for one, messing around is probably what Zephyr is getting at.

    [MENTION=375]Zephyr[/MENTION] God damn, I've seen Zephyr the Heli-bunny like, 7 times at different moments, but it's still brilliant!

    I feel the same as Zephyr, but I agree this is going to unnecessarily be here and clutter, this would be better in something like...A blog? Stuff like this or rants and two cents on things are usually there.

    P.S. I got us a room, Zephyr. Come to me~...My little sweet bunnie~
    P.P.S. The like system sounds nice, I call upon a like system!

    A like system? Like a way to earn reputation? Hmmm... I'm for it.

    /never wanted it to go away in the first place.
