Ask the mods anything

@Ciaran
Basically this.
That’s what I figured too.

I don’t see them as often as I used to, but then again, I can’t see all the places they might post.

What do you think of LightningBolt?
Is he kyoot? :P

(No van Dx)

@Background Pony #87CD
She is, without question, one of the cornerstones of this site’s existence going back the the origin of the site itself. Without her work on tagging, we wouldn’t have the site, or the community, that we have today.

@Ciaran
Shes also emo. I didn’t think emos still existed. Shes like a mirror into that 2000s subculture with Myspace and Livejournal.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
You seem to not understand how many staff members are, day by day, role playing as ‘not emo’.

If it weren’t for tulpas, some of us wouldn’t have any (publicly-facing) personality at all.

Are self-insert writers/roleplayers just lazy?

@moonchosen
No.

@moonchosen
@saby
I mean, be fair - Heinlein was a self-insert writer. And setting aside whether or not he was operating on all cylinders, he certainly wasn’t lazy.

How’d that whole ‘nazi horse fucker’ thing get started?

@𝕭𝖆𝖉𝖍𝖊𝖆𝖗𝖙
Same as Trace Cage (even same people, mostly, like woot); edgelords on 4chan trying to mix the most revolting and wrong thing possible with ponies, with some eventually using it as a standard to bear to prove how edgy and “free” they were and enjoying the idea that it pissed people off, and a fair amount taking it seriously and not just for the comedy shock value, a bullhorn for their real views wrapped in a cute pony they could play off as “just a joke ;) “.

How do you think, this video is fake or not?

@Modera
Not a mod but I’m pretty sure that’s fake.

@🂾𝕃𝕚𝕟𝕔𝕠𝕝𝕟𝔹𝕣𝕖𝕨𝕤𝕥𝕖𝕣𝔽𝕒𝕟🂽
Yeah it feels too easy for that guy to say what he’s saying. Either it was scripted or he’s damn fearless.

@Modera
I feel like it was scripted, but sometimes, you never know.

Do you drink milk?

@SleepySteve
Yes. Milk is good. But I live where someplace where milk is what we drink. Even our alcohol is often milk-based.

Oh, boy…

Why do a lot of older images with ponies aren’t tagged “pony” or are just missing a lot of tags?

@🧡☮Starrscout☮🧡
Because the tags got invented later.

@🧡☮Starrscout☮🧡, @Ciaran

This is what I thought tbh.

In the fight of Nintendo vs Sega, which faction do you choose?

If an artist tag went beyond 150, how do you feel?

Can you guys forgive?
