The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Personally, if the entire season came onto a bare bones two disc set, but the episode were still in as good a quality as they were on TV, I'd still be like a kid on Christmas Day when it arrived.  :D

I honestly can't get into this, since its nothing special, I tried to watch it and I hate to break it to you guys...but it only took me about 36 seconds to decide that I didn't like it.

I'm with you on that one Weird Raptor. I hope to see this out as a box set also. And I'd also be very pleased if each DVD episode was in the awesome quality that it had on The Hub and You Tube That will be on my wish list of something to get. Hope it comes out soon.

In your opinion, its nothing special.

The Season Two box set will probably be out a couple of weeks before Season Two airs, since that seems to be standard operating procedure.

I just read some of the comments concerning the much reviled "Cupcakes" fanfic. I think I know of a fanfic that tops said abomination.

Here goes. This is a topic I made on another forum where I riffed the heck out of it: Fan Fan Fiction Friday: Pattycakes

I know I just think that season1 should have been out by now. It's taken them way to long to bring it out on DVD.

Actually, when you think about it, it's not too surprising.

First off, they have to code it properly and so that it's in VOB format, which is made for the soul purpose of copyright protection.  On top of that, they have to put in a code and so that pirates have a harder time... well... pirating it.

Then they have to do that once again X Million times.

As you can see, that really adds up.

It takes a long time to make enough copies for the estimated amount of people that like it.  Just be patient. :)

Hopefully that means copies of it are already in storage.

Pattycakes made me bust a nut laughing at how utterly bizarre the whole thing was.

One line had me in stitches at the sheer WTFery unleashed:

Quote
When Rainbow Dash saw a photo of various members of The Wonderbolts in diapers, she jumped up and made a run for the door.

If you ask me, Cupcakes was worse because it didn't make me laugh; it made me feel wrong.

--------

Also, I just realized that the Wonderbolts do not have blue fur. That blue is actually a flight suit!

Of course, I have to ask, are they a "civilian" aerobatics team or are they associated with Celestia's Pegasi guards?

I don't really know, it's not clerified in the series, but...

You can ask Lauren Faust, yourself. This is her deviantART account: http://fyre-flye.deviantart.com/

Personally, I found Pattycakes more disturbing, because destroys Dash mentally, instead of physically.

Sony does it again...

Silent Partner – Damage the same enemy in Cooperative Mode for 100 kills (Silver)

Did you hear that you can play through Resistance 3’s campaign cooperatively? No? Well, congratulations because now you have! Why don’t you celebrate by working with your co-op partner to take down 100 Chimera together? That’s at least 20 percent cooler than taking them down alone.

DAMNIT, SONY. STOP MAKING ME LOVE YOU MORE.

To all the MLP fans here, I just wanted to clarify one thing:

I did not intend to attack or insult you with my remarks, I just wanted to comment on how I've noticed how some (not all) fans can take it to the extreme, a trait that I know isn't isolated to this one fandom alone.

No harmful intent well, intended.

Think that's bad, listen to this garbage: Pattycakes: The Interview
Check the second-to-last paragraph of the intro. That's rich coming from a coward who couldn't even be bothered to confront me. He instead had to insult me far from where my eyes would see. What a coward.

Did he say there was a sequel to Pattycakes? Bets on who the victim(s) and perpetrator(s) are?

Oh well, I need something to laugh at.
