Y'know, I've been trying to figure out why we keep getting the occasional hater in a thread which is both clearly devastatingly popular and strangely out of the way. It's odd, right?

Except, I think I've worked it out, and it's brillant.

EVERYONE that posts in this thread is a brony.

Sounds crazy, right? But consider this: This thread has cleared over 200 pages. I don't think there are any other threads on this board that can even come close to making that claim. And a reasonable sized chunk of the posts in this thread are folks popping in to “hate” on ponies. Nothing motivates fans to action like someone trashing on their source of fandom.

So, clearly, the “haters” are trying to motivate the bronies so they will post moar stuff. It's an insidious plan, ingenious in its subtle complexity. Real haters wouldn't be helping to push the post count up.

Therefore, the “haters” must themselves be BRONIES! Secret Bronies who are trying to ensure that the obvious bronies in this thread continue to produce. And the wacky part is, its working. Every time a “hater” posts, they get a bunch in response.

Brilliant plan, fellows, absolutely brilliant. I stand in awe at your cunning.

My mind was just blown.

Also.

Because I'm insane: http://www.fimfictio.../31399/PonyTech

Not sure if I'm going to continue with this, and fair warning as ponies aren't intended to actually show up until the following chapter. Twilight thought she spotted asteroids heading for the planet, Luna smacked 'em out of existence with the moon, but the prologue is entirely taken from the Taurian Concordat's view, where their "asteroids" are wiped out without warning.

...aaaaand I also write Fallout Equestria: New Pegas, so long as I'm plugging. >^>

^That, right there. That just blew my mind.

So in exchange.... this?

[Souske Sagara]

Damn you! Why did you expose our brilliant plan. Now nobody will take ponies seriously!
you have to be eliminated, for the good of the herd.

[Charles Graywylfen]

I am new here and am shocked by the haters that come in here. OK I used to be a forum mod in a much larger MMO so I really am not surprized. I can, however, offer some advice from my experiences.

First just ignor them. I KNOW, I KNOW. That easier said than done. The truth is those clowns have no real talent for anything but Trolling since they are so hard to like. Even their parents are glad they go on line to bother other people.

Second, when you see them hit the report button and let the mods deal with them. Eventually the Mods will tire of them and banish them to a place where they can argue with themselves.

Now back to the topic.

I want a Fluttershy emblem on my Atlas just because it would be so wrong. But then I am a guy who puts a smiley face on the end of his polearm in the SCA.

[Charles Graywylfen]

If the trolling does get on your nerves, try my cure.

A good pipe of a mellow tobacco and a few shots of good scotch

[Kasai Oni]

I give them the benefit of one post to see if they actually can be reasoned with, and otherwise just ignore them. They tend to go away within a post or two.

Don't you just love Rarity?

As a brony, MechWarrior, and musician.... I would pay good money if they made that Rarity hollow body. Or if a bass was made following Twilight's Les Paul

[Souske Sagara]

As a guy who failed miserably at learning the guitar I agree Fab.

[Captain Fabulous]

I failed horribly at learning the guitar as well. I picked up on bass really well and really quickly though.

[Souske Sagara]

I seem to be ok with drums, my biggest issue is that I need sensativity in fingers for all the salvaging/rewiring I do with broken electronics, as well as for assembling and painting models. I want to say for drawing and calleography too, but I suck at one and haven't practiced the other in years.

[JabberJon]

I tried my best to learn guitar. I can do a few power chords, that's about it. I took pretty well to bass though. Ended up dropping the whole thing, I just don't have the free time to learn an instrument.

I've been looking to get a new accoustic guitar. Can't say I'd mind an AJ one.

My electric already has some Twilight Sparkle going on. (If you can forgive a shoddy webcam.)
