This is a board about the state of the fandom and how to hypothetically improve it. Often times people have always wondered if it is possible to have a quality fanbase. It is possible, but it requires a great level of leadership skills.
So what if we rule a corrupted empire of misfits, at least we control it.
It's less about news and more about a conquering fetish. The news/state of the board just goes hand in hand.

Hi /eqd/, today is /pone/s birthday and you're all invited!

Stop by, have some cake and engage in the festivities

Let's call out all the people and groups which had the power to change this fandom's direction at any time. Optionally tell us what you would you do in their position.

Hasbro
Lauren Faust
Sethisto
Moot
Deviantart
Everybody else who had control of a website about ponies.

Gentlemen… how do we convince the rest of the world to join the pony fandom?

Let's talk user income and quality checking. Usually when you advertise and recruit you must recruit in a quality place where you can find quality people so they may contact their quality friends, but that will be kind of a big deal problem.

It's a pain in the ass to recruit quality people from /tg/, /tech/, /agdg/ because of all the bullshit connotations surrounding these stupid fucking pastel horses just for being ponies. It's like trying to sell religion, only harder.

Minecraft had it easy, only a few people gave weird looks when they saw the graphics thinking they'll be viewed as pedophilles, losers and autists, but eventually everybody chimed in and they have a huge ass fanbase.

Guess it'll never be easy selling this girly equus horse of horseshit.

Ruining the mood

Let's remember October 2010 and 2011. Yes take a moment to remember the "Golden Age" as we love to call it. Good? Ok now let's compare the atmosphere of the /co/ pony threads between timelines.
"It was an ironic cutsie fun, before the faggots took it seriously" Right they are.

We often say 2010, early 2011 was a better time for the community, as in we had more quality and charming people compared to the summer of 2011 when every spaghetti brony started joining and getting vocal. I distinctly remember a poll on Equestria Daily showing that most of the users came in the summer 2011 and they greatly outnumbered the ones before the summer.

The >CLOP sequel is in development

I don't mean to drive down all the interesting and active discussions on this board by advertising, but the sequel to the drama- and fun-filled >CLOP is in development. Join an alliance to play a game that rewards both your math skills and your ability to brutally lie and manipulate people.

Meanwhile at /mlp/ some faggot is spamming Rainbow Dash.
But that'd be too niche. Let's talk about how /mlp/ /co/ /tech/ really do have the creative writers and drawfags still left in it while 8chan's boards are still empty. /v/ is the only flourishing board on 8chan. /agdg/ is also kinda slow.

>mfw people don't realize that everything went downhill as soon as the first lesbian ship was started

>mfw the first yuri "shippers" were just fucking with the faggot by drawing ironically bad art

>mfw autists ate it up and started spreading it

>mfw people did the good ol' monkey see monkey do and jumped on that bandwagon like niggers finding a "Free watermelon" truck

>mfw the ironic shitposting had become shitposting

>mfw a number of horse famous cunts got paid to draw the sodomy

>mfw more horse famous dipshits saw and decided to make it spread

>mfw shit artists got famous overnight by going full kike and drawing nothing but lesbian ponies

>mfw every famous artist in the fandom primarily focuses on lesbians, all heterosexual ships being treated as worse than Yamino

>mfw they call art of gay stallions "for faggots," even though it's cuter than anything they ever made

>mfw they don't even see the irony, and when it's pointed out, they say their voyeurism fetish(read: cuckolding fetish) is straight because "TWO LESBOS XDDDDDDDDDDD"

>mfw the c/u/cks are so delusional that they can't see that when you let a lesbian touch someone you love, your beloved is never going to even want to be around you unless she wants you to do her dirty work

>mfw lesbians ruined everything once again, and the feminists still aren't letting up on us

So how do we get all the lesbian shippers out by dox/slander/generally BTFOing them so hard they never return/education/redpilling? I know I just listed a lot of methods, but how do we do it on a fandom-wide scale?

R: 3 / I: 0 / P: 1
We all agree that earth ponies are the most underpowered faggot horses out of the three pony races, right?

Let's think of ways to make them actually useful and competent. The easiest answer is to just make them elves, but we need to modify it to not make them walking cliches.

How do we make Luna and Celestia worthy of being god emperors? Power and control isn't enough, they must have a powerful personality as well!
R: 1 / I: 0 / P: 2
Not like we were ever good in the first place and neither realistically a potential good fandom,
but let's make believe and dream of that great brony empire.

We'll write a book of brony and it'll be all fluff about our non-existant accomplishments, the more detailed it is, the better.

Of all the ponies which one would make the least harm as a god emperor?

Hardmode: No picking Celestia or Luna

Ponytube

Back in the early days we always thought about having a pony-related Youtube. Sadly uploading videos is expensive so instead we got pony Cloudfare, pony Facebook, pony imagebooru.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZmL-anAzqk

A ponytube would have assured us quality-control, we could have removed all the brony spaghetti, the brony commentary episodes and keep up the mlp fim episodes indefinitely because of no stupid youtube jew bot to snoop us out.

Sir we got him. Barneyfag is finally over.

Unless we all become Barneyfag, which lol who the fuck would want that, this fag was less funny than that guy pretending Rainbow Dash is his daughter.

Richfags needed

So the vision of bronies animating their own episode is a pipe dream, no doubt. But what if they hired an animation studio instead? Too bad nobody thought of that since 2010, what with ponies being cheap to draw they should be cheap to animate as well.

The background artists and storyoarders should come included with the animators. The rest like quality-checkers, audio and voice actors are gonna cost you more, much more.
Hasbro probably pays Dhx Media and TopDrawAnimations only 500 dollars per person a month, considering most of them are freelancers and cheap.

So I doubt a 21 minute episode would cost more than 100k dollars, maybe even less. If you pay them 25 dollars/1 second for 21 minutes then that's 31.500 dollars. 15000 dollars if you want just 10 minutes animated.

Fanon comic series

I can understand that we don't have game designers and animators to make our own games and episodes, but why do we not have our own comic series?

We already have plenty of fanfics written from where to inspire from panel by panel, and we have tons of hardworking talented artists 1000 times better than IDW, which if combined we could be churning out 50 pages a week.

/merchant/

I feel bad for not learning sewing and joining in October 2010 or January 2011. I could have sold some overpriced plushies, the bronies were all over them.

Also pony merchandise in general.

So let's get a general thread going on about the history of the fandom and where we could have stopped it's spiraling downfall. Oh and how do we improve it now in current times.

>mfw moderators encourage autism.
Let's talk about how much this fandom nurtured it's autism back in the summer of 2011.

Let's start out with the biggest example. Peechan, god I shudder to even link that shithole over here, I don't want to attract the assburgers. At most I'd just get some revenge by banning them and harassing them.
R: 2 / I: 1 / P: 2
If the population was made out of bronies then I'd always have happiness at 100%. No more worries from the state of unrest and uprisings. Bronies are just as gullible and loyal as background ponies, hence the despotism and theocracy suggested in the cartoon show.

HQ - Equestria Daily

This self-jewing dragon-fucking furfag has been halting all the potential at ever turning Equestria Daily into a useful central headquarters base for the brony fandom.

Just like a politician, a buffoon clown occupying the role of power to never let anyone else use it for something good.

Let's imagine what it would be like if EQdaily was a base of operation for the brony fandom.
