/co/ Pony Posts break the 6000 mark.

SO MUCH PONY

Over 6000 posts a day to be exact.  I don't think /co/ has ever had this much traffic.  Not even Avatar and Wakfu could come close.

And it's all about colorful ponies and friendship.... who would have thought?

This does have some negative implications though, mainly the fact that it's near impossible to keep up with this stuff now!

If I miss your fic/video/fan art/news/whatever you can still always Email it to me. Please check THIS POST first for guidelines on what to send with it to make the process cleaner though, especially if you are sending fanfiction.

For those wondering wtf this means, it's all going down on This Board which you have probably seen referenced here a million times by now.  And you can use the Archiver to find what the current thread is, though post numbers have currently exceeded the poor thing's capability to keep up.

Actually on second thought it's probably a terrible idea to link that, feel free to attack me in comments if it was and I'll remove it.

Speaking of breaking throughs, The Charity Drive broke through it's $5000 dollar goal, and is still chugging along! =D

No doubt about it, you were a great help to the cause! *Thumbs up*

@Caboose

Very cool! Glad to hear it

@Caboose

Woohoo! This is pure pony power and the magic of friendship combined!

Caboose said...

Oh, and I suppose I am remiss in not stating my congratulations!

You're running a fine operation here, Sethisto, congrats on breaking the 6000 mark! =D

@Caboose

Oh it wasn't me, that's the statistic for /co/

@Sethisto

holy fuck, that's more then one pony post every 15 seconds

Rivet said...

That's awesome :D
Unfortunately, i'm sure trolls posts make up a sizable portion of that number, though...

Splash Blue said...

Only about 3000 more to go...

@Sethisto
Well, your blog has almost 400k hits! That's something to be proud of!

i've been a fan since /co/ first discovered ponies, it's crazy to see what it has become

I don't think there's anything wrong with you linking it, hardly anyone by this point doesn't know about 4chan and given its openness for better or for worse, they can't complain about it becoming "too active" (/co/ still has eons to go to catch up to the likes of /b/ in sheer ridiculous speed anyway).

Besides, more poni for the poni god. I'd like at least 30 ponies for every comicfag that sits there and complains about people enjoying a good show and posting about it on the appropriate board.

But can pony threads last for over a week like with Jimmy Two Shoes? In till they can do that this means nothing!

Adrian Brony said...

I think he meant the hyper index, which can be used by trolls to flood it into submission as soon as the monolith is posted.

There were several threads in the morning that didn't even make it into the archive because the GI didn't make it in before they 404d

man I remember wen we were amazed we hit 2500!

I wonder what would happen if we went back in time and showed that this would happen in the the first threads a few months ago.
I bet nopony would believe it
then again im sure if you asked /co/ about ponys being discussed at all 5/6 months ago nobody would believe it would be discoursed at all. Let alone in great number and with a achieve and blog so we dont miss anything that happens wen were not on.

recently on /co/ and /b/ there have been massive bans and 404-ing of threads containing ponies. i was there when it started. it was with out warning. just ban after ban. then 404 after 404. not a single pony was safe. nor did they cower in fear from the b& they rose up and started to fight back with love and friendship. yet the ranks were too diminished. on this day many a pony lost there threads. and many more will come back from he three day b& that was placed on them to find a war ravaged pony thread-less 4chan. all i can say is that it is a blessing that equestria daily and other sites friendly to the resistance are existing. this site like others are islands in a sea of hate. now i dont know what this will mean for posters in 4chan that want to post ponies but i know that it will never be the same.

@GaSmasked /b/rony

Oh, shush.
Pony cleanse happened before on /co/, the banning on /b/ was a one time thing and as you said, most of "your kind" will be back, a lot is probably back already.
It was a one time thing, this stays 4chan, nobody matters, only haters and "/b/ronies" like YOU care about that and makes it a "resistnace" thing, if you'd simply stop that shit and enjoy ponies, we would be a much better fandom.

the reason for my two-week, cross-board ban was "endless pony threads with no actual content other than reaction images. go start your own pony imageboard."

so, not because we were violating a single rule. just because the mod was feeling bitchy.

Thanks for reposting content on here. I've tried to use 4chan before but found it difficult to locate threads and figuring out which posts people are referencing since it's referenced by post number. Much easier to just subscribe to the RSS on here.

For comparison, below is a plot of interest in Avatar:tla and Teen Titans during their respective run times as measured by page views on the fan-based accounts on deviantART http://parallellogic.deviantart.com/art/Life-of-a-Fandom-92716033

On the best days, the teentitans account on dA broke 6K views per day by the time they got to the third season, and now 4chan is getting that many *posts* per day. I shudder to think what will happen when they release season 2 (if it's any consolation work-load wise, the interest in a fandom appears to drop off pretty quickly after the season ends, I'd expect this to be true for a show that doesn't really advertise to its online viewers [most found this by word of mouth imho])

Moot ended up giving in to the Pokemon fandom and splitting /vp/ off from /v/. When can we expect /pn/ to split off from /co/?

GaSmasked /b/rony said...

@Anonymous" only haters and "/b/ronies" like YOU care about that and makes it a "resistnace" thing, if you'd simply stop that shit and enjoy "

yeah im sorry that you have such butt-hurt over how i was introduced to mlp in the first place. also i was never a hater. and apparently with the recent rule change and the rogue mod delt with the so called "resistance" you do daftly speak of with zero knowledge of the happenings during the mass bans that i witnessed. also it was never "my kind" in the first place. besides most of the /b/ronies were from /co/ in the first place that wanted to share the love and friendship and /b/ IS the place if you want a massive response. so please correct your trolling before ridiculing me.
