Ponychan is Down! (Its back!)

I keep getting emails, so here is your post!

Ponychan is down!

CONFIRMED: Derpy Broke it with her bad coding 

Updated! Its back! 

Rumor one: I'm going out on a limb and say someone posted a picture of Gummy and Angel fighting to the death. That got all the ponies all hot and bothered which made the server overheat. 

Rumor Two: I bet it was one of them damn drybags on the "Conservative Forum"!

Rumor Three:  Parasprites.

Rumor Four: I know what it was. Just before it happened somepony got quads with a picture of Sweetie Bell. That's like spitting in Celestia's face.

Rumor Five: Somepony set us up the the low orbiting ion cannon.(I hope not!)

There's a 500 server error. Something went wrong, but 500 is generic, so nobody knows exactly what. my guess? Derpy's pulling wires again.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who can't access it. Thought I was having a nightmare.

Pinkemon said...

I'm sad that it's down, but on the other hand it would only keep me from going to bed.

I hope that everything will be okay tomorrow.

My guess is either Derpy's pulling wires, parasprites, or Conservatives.

Man, I was right in the middle of looking up ship-pics, too!

Yeah, Derpy's been at the servers again... Fo' Sho'

Ponychan Mod here, we are aware of the problem, and as far as we know, it's just Derpy's poor coding again.

(I don't know why we keep letting her work on the website...)

There was a post on some "Conservative Forum" bashing MLP:FiM, but I heard the forum is just a parody. I lean conservative myself, but you have to admit that there's no shortage of closed-minded "manly men" on the Right.

Anonymous said...

I find it funny that I was viewing a Derpy image right before it happened.

BroWny said...

As much as I want /OAT/ to be /SWTE/...
It's just the servers finally going out. I mean this whole weekend theres been crazy Lag cuz now every Brony and there mom wants a Tripcode, And /ponychan/ Derpy servers gave out.
Don't know how long to fix but I can get my work done now..

Derpy needs to stop declaring string variables as "Muffin"! XD

Caledo said...

Why do I get the feeling that, if politicians actually watched this show, more problems would be getting solved?

Or at least if they were busy watching, they wouldn't be legislating MORE problems.

Thanks for the update, I was getting worried.

But I have a post to make. An adventure to update. Pics to browse. Ships to ship. ;_;

Ceets said...

@BroWny

Hmm... Whole weekend? Late last week, Asterisk and I worked on the Brony List, and tons of bronies made trip-codes because of it...

I wonder if the server lag is, in small part, my fault? XD

And nothing of value was lost.

This is obviously backlash from the newest episode. Ponychan couldn't stand the extreme levels of insanity Pinkie was exhibiting. We just have to give it some time to recuperate.

My personal guess is that the database server finally melted.

Some of my classmates have already told me there were people from 7Chan who prepared raids against Ponychan, but it's still rumors for me

<mfw I was sooo expecting this to happen within the first five comments.

Took you long enough.

BroWny said...

@Ceets
Naw It's not your fault. I really called it first! I knew since Summer is coming up... The Mods are in for a RUDE awaking!!! Bronies don't have anything to do but go on /Ponychan/ They are going to need to find better servers or... Well... bye-bye /ponychan/... ugh. I hate to say it.

It's of value to a lot of people.

@NeverGoBak Well, the update was at an odd time, if it had happened at 2:00 my post may have been higher up

The pegasi'll take it offline. They live the closest to it, after all.

Would that also be the cause of all the image derps, and the Great Ponychan Derp last week?

Some dragon came along and decided to take a nap there, and this was the easiest way to evacuate everyone. Why do dragons always choose the worst places to nap?

Maybe 4chan did this. /b/ secretly want the bronies to come back.

Ponychan Mod here, I am notoriously lazy and don't know how to make a posting account here. Somepony help me, and ask for !!RainbowDash on ponychan, and you will recieve 10 free internets* !

I would guess that as well. Derpy... Derpy Everywhere... but i'm thinking...

hey guys i got a clue, i just remembered some anon posted this link in the letter thread

maybe its bull but hey its better than nothin

Anonymous said...

@Wheelworld

Well, we could have like a sleepover at some other brony community. Let's see what our options are:
- FiMchan - Hmm, not a good idea. If ponychan servers couldn't take it, no way FiMchan can.
- /co/ - The latest reports I've seen lead me to believe that /co/ hates our guts for some reason, so that may not be a good destination.
- /b/ - ... yeah, the /b/ronies probably wouldn't mind us too much crashing their chainthread, but /b/ isn't really for everyone. Still, it's probably the best of these options.

We could also sit right here and wait for updates, I guess!

Anonymous said...

<.< it's so hard to test changes first on a local copy and then change the code on the server?

Mute said...

@Anonymous

I love you so much, Anonymous.

Given EQ's giga-normous expansion over these past few months, it's probably safe to say that the ponychan userbase has expanded even more so. Just got back from lurking a /b/rony thread and everything seems pretty chill. No Mods breathing down your throats, no one threatening to take down ponychan, and so it doesn't look like a conspiracy (probably why Sethisto listed LOIC as rumor 5 and not 1) . As everyone has already said, servers were probably taxed. It'll be back up in no time.

Hey !!RainbowDash, I don't know who has permission to post there, but might it be worth updating the status tumblr? I did check there first (though I guess everyone probably is going to see it on EqD now).

I would if I could, but as far as I know, only our admin has access to that account.

Guessed that might be the case. Thanks anyway!

As someone who visits both ponychan and /co/, and I have to say:

It's utterly hilarious watching how much the two communities hate each other.

It's not a mutual hate. /co/ hates but Ponychan doesn't hate back.

/co/ hates /b/, for all the good reasons. since ponychan came from /b/, it's sort of guilty by association

The good reasons being mostly that it's not /co/.

@Anonymous

/co/ hate for /b/ is baffling.
/co/ hate fo ponychan is even more so.

... seriously? That got deleted? AGAIN? Attempt 3, very simple phrases:

/co­/ hates /­b/. It makes no sense.
/co­/ hates ponychan. It makes even less sense.

You can't explain it.

... and now all 4 posts are here. Despite each one appearing after pressing "post", appearing for a while even when viewed from another tab, and even after refreshing - until it suddenly didn't, as if deleted. Until all 4 reappeared simultaineously just now.

I can't explain that.

Could you delete 3 of those posts of your choice?

Also, how does a post get into the spam folder? I don't think I did anything that would raise the obvious spammy red flags.

I'm from Ponychan. No matter how much /co/ hates us, I don't hate them. I may not like how rude they are, or how they just assume what Ponychan is like (One of them claimed Ponychan was all porn. Really? I mean, really??), or how elitist they can get, but we're all watching the same show. We're all "looking at the same rainbow" here. Maybe someday we can put our differences aside and get along. Or at least stop lashing out at each other.
