Rainbow Dash HOSTILE TAKEOVER!

Good work everypony! I already did the news post earlier though, so I don't have much to report!
From 1mil->2mil we went from about 30k a day to 60k a day.  That's pretty crazy!  March was a huge month for new bronies!  


New events/Feedback!
The friend-off will be somewhere around April 15th probably.  I'm also looking for new ideas for events that don't require drawing/writing if anyone can think of anything.  As always, my E-mail is open for suggestions/feedback/hatred/whatever you guys want to send me, so feel free! If a good idea pops up I tend to act on it quickly.  (I'm only 23 though, so no Viagra spam alright?).

Also more banner stuff!

Maybe we can do a banner competition for 3 million?


Anyway onward to 10million!

Also 2,000,000 Madmax comic at 8 AM!

Bronies are amazing and it's GREAT to see how quickly a blog such as this can grab over 2 MILLION hits!

Keep up the good work, as I'll be rooting this site along the way to the next million! =3

DarkM3sh said...

Congratulation Sethisto, may we all hope that you'll one day rule the earth!

Rainbow Dash!

Rainbow Brisk said...

1 more million and the page will have more pageviews than there are people living in the USA (well, approximately)

keep up the awesome work, Seth! We all appreciate what you do!

Adrian Brony said...

Thank you sethisto for your awesome dedication to this blog. thank you purple tinker for your awesome talent at finding out every little bit of info you can for us, thank you every single brony to ever contribute a fic, image, video, or any sort of OC. Like I said before, THIS is why we can have nice things.

Thank you all and Congratulations to Equestria Daily for reaching 2 MILLION hits.

I actually got to see it tick over this time. It was quite a scene. I shed many tears...

Grats to you, Sethisto, and thank you to all the people who make this community awesome.

And Dash hardly needs to perform a hostile takeover of the blog. She's so cool, she already had complete control of the blog. She just tolerates the existence of the other ponies because friendship is magic!

Rainbow Dash said...

I'm going about making this blog 20% Cooler in 10 seconds flat.

Lovecraft said...

Managed to get out of the shower at the right time to see the ticker hit 20,0000 and get a screencap of it.

What a crazy wild ride this has been...

BEST. TAKEOVER. EVER!

Alester said...

@Sethisto

What you did there, I see it. Looks like Dash sees it too...and she likes it. lol

Just in case you hadn't realized it, we all really, REALLY appreciate what you do. Onward to eleventy-billion hits!

Rainbow Brisk said...

@Frobenius

@Rainbow Brisk

It's okay, everypony makes mistakes sometimes.

Mads said...

You know what this calls for? A PARTY!

Bejoty said...

Congratulations to Equestria Daily, Sethisto, and all the bronies who helped out getting us to 2,000,000! Today we stand united toward a 20% cooler future!!

And on the 'new events' topic, when I see drawing/writing, I see a total lack of music in those options D:
I suppose it's not as common to see such a prolific amount of musical-based submissions, but I'm sure we can think of some way to incorporate it~

Is 2 million hits a lot for a blog/fansite?

AppleJays said...

Congratulations everypony!! :D

Anonymous said...

@Anonymous

yes. one of my favorite fanfic artists, butterscotch, who is a pro writer, drawing in fans from all over(not just pony) has drawn in 2 to 3 thousand page hits... so do the math there

T.O. Brony said...

Rainbow Dash theme? I'm okay with this. =3

WOOHOO~! Two million hits of pony prowess! Righteous. Onward to two billion!

Naxts said...

I for one approve of our new rainbow overlord.

blackyousa said...

What happens when we get over 10 million? Will the ticker explode?

DuskWolf said...

That's unexpected but wonderful at the same time! Hopefully the pony love will continue to spread and the fanbase will only grow and grow!

Jelly Bean said...

MAJOR CHARACTERS WHO HAVE NOT GOTTEN FRONT PAGE TAKEOVERS YET:

-Fluttershy

-Applejack

-Princess Luna

-Spike

-The CMC

I would say Celestia, but the new banner looks like a Celestia banner with its big sun. Plus it makes it look like Fluttershy is on fire.

Congrats!

Hikuro14 said...

Gratz, everypony.

Daffodil said...

I LOVE ALL OF YOU

Sir Leadhead said...

as a non-channer, this is where I get my pony news. And my daily dose of poni and friendship. and other awesome things. so thank you, seth, for investing so much time into this and keeping it going.

Here's to another million!

Anonymous said...

I think my favorite part about this is the banner
"oh god cereal what did you do to the banner" XD

but a big thank you to Sethisto for putting the time into this blog you make this fandom possible!

Is it just me who thinks the ticker is broken? It goes up one view every second.. Idk.

Sethisto said...

@Anonymous

That's just it's max speed I think. It falls behind.

FightingFire said...

@Sethisto
if the ticker lags that much, then what is the true number of views? Could it be...
ONE-HUNDRED BILLION PAGEVIEWS!!!!

or some more reasonable number not endorsed by Dr. Evil?
