6 million hits! Rarity Time! And news!

Rarity sure is amazing! Definitely the BEST unicorn on the show.

Anyway on with the news!

6 Star Tags
I have been messing around with these, trying to decide on what stories should get them... At first the plan was to hand 6 star tags to every 5 star story that has over 50 votes.  Then I realized, they ALL have 50 votes! At least the newer ones.  You all seem to have taken my advice on fics or something, because they are more popular than ever now.  So, I think I might start assigning 6 star tags to stories that are 4.9+ with 60+ votes instead.  If your story meets that criteria, feel free to email me, though Zarkanorf already sent me everything that was eligible I think! 

Google Docs Cap
My best e-friend Speckles (who puts up with my constant pony nonsense) has discovered a very simple workaround for Google Docs caps.  If a doc is maxed out, simply replace the "edit" in the URL with "preview".  Apparently back on May 2nd, Google accidentally removed the code that automatically dishes out previews once a document is filled up.  They are fixing it soon, but for now a simple url fix should get you in.

Is awesome

Chose Seth who is it Trixie or Rarity?

Anonymous said...

Looks more like Sweetie Belle did it all while Rarity slept in. Like a boss.

pmcollectorboy said...

And this time I was finally there when the one million rollover happened!

Kill me, I'm a PONY said...

...Has Sweetie Belle always been that big? o.o

frith said...

That view counter is spining! I still managed to screen grab 6,000,000. Then when I refreshed again, the counter had already leaped 250 ahead!

T.O. Brony said...

6 million, very nice! Also, go Rarity!

GAAAH. I refreshed to make sure I had accurate numbers when it hit 5999990 and by the time the page loaded it was already at 6000010!

CONFOUND IT

Twilight disagrees with that claim

that's a lotta millions.

That took no time to get from 5 to 6 mil! Congrats!!!

Anonymous said...

Now, only another 3,000,000 and we can have an excuse for a poorly written Dragon Ball Z Fanfic.

pmcollectorboy said...

I'm saving my screen grab for when it hits 6,666,666.

If that ever happens.

Congrats one 6 million!

That is the greatest banner ever. Also, holy crap, weren't we at 5,000,000 just a week ago? Dear Celestia.

Anonymous said...

Next banner for the CMC?

frith said...

Saw counter roll over a million view mark (after missing 5 in a row), time to get me some sleep. X^)

ZMorris said...

Congrats! Now, onward to 10,000,000!

Awesome 6000000
Now for 7000000

Tex said...

At the rate were going every 9 days we get a million viewers, though I'll still keep observing

Good Job!

Oh hell yes! It's about time Rarity got some love!

I come here and the website is pink, click "view comments" and now it is purple. Madness! Ponies! EQUESTRIA!

Either way, congrats!

Sethisto said...

@Anonymous

Cheerilee returns next! I didn't think we would hit this so quick I liked my Cheerilee banner!

Sethisto said...

Alright this color scheme hurts my eyes, back to blue!

McGack said...

Yes Trixie was last weeks news, and this weeks and every weeks news, unless of course Luna or Fluttershy are involved

Zarkanorf said...

"6 Stars"

Expect an e-mail with that update, along with the usual.

Kits said...

mine only has 31 ratings

But 6e6? Awesome!

Seth, make a white background for a difference!

Old Kentucky Shark said...

"The Great and Powerful Trixie:Last weeks news"

Who are you, and what have you done with Sethisto?

But really, is it just me, or was this like, the fastest million yet? I kinda figured it would taper off during the break. Definitely a good thing though. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, thanks and a brohoof to you and Cereal for keeping this place going.

sleepingcobrox said...

I'm wondering about what Cereal Velocity will do...

reaching six million hits in just over a week since hitting five million? i am impressed. let's hope this keeps going strong!

Anonymous said...

Yeah! Six Mil! Back to lurking.

Anonymous said...

yay for Wawity

ZAquanimus said...

@Old Kentucky Shark
This million actually took longer than the last.
4-5 Million took a week
5-6 took 8 days.

Still strong tho

JeanSplice said...

ah, a Rarity man now? I am pleased.
now, next million become an Applejack fan and my i can turn off my brainwasher.
i mean the drier. yea. that.

Aquaman52 said...

I've got a 4.9 rating on ITAM with, like, nine ratings...that'd be pretty sweet if I could keep that long enough to get on that six-star list.

...that would, of course, require people to actually start rating it. -.-

ZettaLux said...

This calls for...

*Pinkie voice*

A PARTY!

Bluedow said...

Wow, 6M already!? We went from 4 million to 6 million in 16 days!

Thought I do some numbers.

1 million --- March 17
20 days later
2 million --- April 6
14 days later
3 million --- April 20
11 days later
4 million --- May 1
8 days later
5 million --- May 9
8 days later
6 million --- May 17

I predict 7 million in one week tops.

I wasn't going to mention this, but seeing as it's Rarity day:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rarity

Please, nopony spoil this by editing it/drawing unnecessary attention to it/making a ton of similar jokes on other pages. Right now it's the perfect blend of subtle and funny and slips nicely under the wiki radar.

ya 6 mill!!! party time!!!

Anonymous said...

1/100th of the way to 7 million. in 1 hour 39 minutes no less.

6.80625 days to go at this rate!

EPIC LOL

Zarkanorf said...

@Sethisto
WELP, DONE AND DONE. The people do not have to worry about sending that important message to you about hitting the six-star, for now.

Kruger said...

I saw the counter hit 6 Mil. After missing the 5 mil mark, I was somewhat happy to see it hit 6 mil.

Anonymous said...

This post is full of Rarity and, by association, win.

prower42 said...

Image is complete irony for me...

I slapped some graffiti on my Vulcan BF-50 and called it my Force Beam Launcher...

Rarity provided the power source for it.

Kkat said...

Yay! 6-Stars!

Rarity brings awesome new designs to Equestria Daily.

the (fallen) Princess Luna said...

Another work around for Docs is to go to Share and Publish.
Gives a link that doesn't have edit or a limit, but it does make the end result kind of ugly with it's page-wide ruling.
Preview definitely looks better, but it's just so hard to type it with hooves.

fireant said...

6 Million. I like and say, do continue ;)
Also, Rarity IS the best Pony Ever - You needed so much time and 6 million bronies to see that ovious truth that is basicaly a primordial law of the universe?
All hail mistress Rarity!

Anonymous said...

Umm, maybe it's just me, but the pageview counter is getting +1 every second, without fail. It seems like if it actually registered pageviews it would be less consistent.

Or is that a big inside joke I'm missing?

frith said...

Rarity has two holidays now? May 17 as claimed above and the August 6th Element of Harmony holiday (Generosity)?

@ Bluedow 8:23pm and Anon 7:50pm, thanks for the stats! All that is missing is the number of days between zero and the first million. Better yet, the number of days between each of the 100,000's leading up to the first million.

Anonymous said...

AH! I missed the roll over again!

Anonymous said...

Will everypony PLEASE stop editing the "Rarity" wikipedia disambiguation page?

It was a very simple, elegant joke (not by me, I should add) which makes a visual pun on the page, and which anyone can appreciate. If you start writing fanboy in-jokes or changing the structure it simply isn't funny, plus it increases the chance of being deleted altogether.

Hint: the joke doesn't depend on which pony you think is actually "best pony", nor on knowing anything about "Rarity" or "FiM". Just LOOK at the page and see how it smoothly it reads with the simple version.

Hayquill said...

For the curious, the original Wikipedia-Rarity comment was presumably looking at this version of the page.

Anonymous said...

If Rarity is awesome, and GPT is last week's news, clearly Rarity's cutie mark needs to be made the FAQ icon.

7th million's coming !
