    [HR][/HR]Everypony Good Humor Tests are a Go
    [HR][/HR]
    A big apology to anyone who nearly had a heart attack upon reading Everypony news #5, it was all in jest and thanks to everyone who took the joke for what it is. We're not selling out anytime soon, though we do thank you for your Pegasus Express account information hehe.



    [HR][/HR]Start Power and Upcoming Interviews
    [HR][/HR]
    We've prepared quite the line-up for our live stream shows and prepared the following line-up of interviews for your amusement.
    • Friday September 9th: Jackle App at 9 PM EST - R + Derpy
    • Friday September 16th: NotACleverPony and possibly PinkiePieSwear - time TBA - Foxy + Flash
    • Friday September 30th: AllLevelsAtOnce - time TBA - Foxy + Flash
    Tune in to hear your questions answered on air!

    [HR][/HR]Database woes are a thing of the past
    [HR][/HR]
    Through some tech fiddling and Grey's hard work on the site, we believe we've determined the source of our database errors, and concurrently solved them. At least for now, you should be able to browse the forums without fear of random errors interfering with your browsing experience. We hope to bring you a clean, streamlined browsing experience and to make the site as easy to use as possible, we hope this only improves this experience for you. Concurrently this also leads onto our next point on the list...

    [HR][/HR]Sometimes a Downgrade is for the best
    [HR][/HR]
    If you have been a regular RPer in our RP chat you surely have noticed that we've changed systems to an IRC chat from our last, more complex chat client. Unfortunately the RP chat had been at fault for our database errors and with our current server, the only option would be to relocate the chat to an off-server location - that has come in the form of our new IRC RP chat room. Now we know this may be a bit of a rocky transition but all we ask is that you bear with us for future endeavors. RP chat rules still stand as they always have in this chat room. We're currently considering possibilities for the future, but please know that upkeeping the forums is a higher priority here.




    [HR][/HR]It's time for a Test-Run
    [HR][/HR]
    Remember that google docs file that was more or less just a big pain to find what you're looking for in for requests on our livestream? FORGET IT! In an effort to provide a more user friendly and comprehensive database we've gone completely overboard and came up with this: Everypony Media. What exactly IS it? Well that's for you to figure out for yourself, but hopefully this will make browsing for pony related media, specifically music content, a very simple and easy endeavor. We're still gathering our resources at the moment, but the section is functional and open to public eyes - just note that for now submission is disabled for non-staff users and that artist accounting isn't available yet, but will be soon enough. We hope that this database will make finding both music from favorite brony musicians and pony music you've never even heard before a simple task.



    [HR][/HR]


    That's all for now, thanks for your attention!

    Ermm...

    It didn't say anything about downloads. Did it? :derpe: At least there will be no interference when browsing the forums.

    I'll report any problems if I run into one.

    Yer Luna summed up my response nicely there.

    Yay now the site can not crash right as I need it! This is why you ponies rock! Espically since tracking down error is a nightmare, even more so when you have little idea of the cause. EVEN more so when everything is written in Gedit, though I doubt that applies here.

    «.« ».» IRC you say *digs out Angelic*
    Even though I am never on RP and Angelic is buggy. Spins bottles well.
    Incase you are wondering AngelicBunny is a IRC bot I made last week, it is highly limited. It spins bottles and roles dice (complex dice but dice nondeless)

    Eeeyup. I hated it so much I wrote a custom python script so I would never have to look at it again!
    SMASH! (that was me throwing the script out the window, for the 5th time)
    No but really nice work on the media section hopefully this will also lead to artists adding more music and a better dis/like feedback system so we could have things like "Top 25 songs (as chosen by you)" Lists and such like.

    I probably should've made this more clear, but this Friday it's me and R interviewing Jackle App, not Foxy and Flash

    Also there's been a revision, the AllLevelsAtOnce interview is on the 30th, not the 23rd

    Excellent job on the News there, Derpy! I can't wait for the new EPR Media function to take off! It sounds like we'll be able to upload PMV's and the like, if I read that correctly. What if we have permission from a creator of PMV's on Youtube? Would we be able to upload their creations? I suppose we'll all figure these things out once EPR Media arrives in full.
