Yeah. Once again, I've got nothing and Seth is asleep. Happy big number, ponies!
I'll throw out a question for you guys instead- for those that listened to the last Q&Neigh, what do you want to hear more or less of? Us yelling at each other, or us seriously answering your questions? Both? Music intro? Other sections? Let me know, since I'm the guy producing it- sort of.

Congratulations EQD!
Hooray! 25 Million!
First!
Also, awesome?
Seth's asleep!? That's... different...
Anything goes. The answering of questions was nice, but you yelling at each other was amusing.
It's mainly Hasbro lawyers driving the pageview count up.
I watched all afternoon to catch the turnover, congrats!
Hmm, something tells me this may or may not be some sort of "accident", as you suggest.
CONSPIRACY TIME!
at this speed it won't take long to take over the world :D
Open with the three of you singing the main theme.
More random nameless posts!
*confetti*
Grats on 25 mill! whoo!
and to your Q&Neigh question: Yes.
I accidentally My Little Pony.
Yelling, lots and lots of yelling, screaming, hair pulling, name calling and eye poking. Oh and yeah a music intro before the chaos ensues.
oh yeah, quick everyone F5!!!!
We keep referencing Unanimous Deliver's amazing 1000 subscriber video, but we never actually link it.

I want a fight to the death.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED DANGIT.
Also make it two hours long... or something.
Yelling. More. Yelling. And accusing people of clopping. I liked that too.

I screwed up, lets try again:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGSmdOlRokM
Ooh! I know! Spend an entire broadcast making fart noises at each other!
To be honest, I like it when the people hosting a podcast descend into an argument and are able to pull themselves out of it. It shows that you guys are able to work together but still have fun. When the conflict ends, so does the fun. Try to find a balance between questions and arguments and don't worry about time limits. When it ends, it ends.
Yelling. Yelling is fun.
A mixture of both.
I would like to hear you guys answer some more question, however i loved hearing you guys just going back and forth and getting totally off topic. So keep both going.
I love that picture more than anything Seth has ever posted in a milestone post.
So, business as usual, then?
What about other sections you might want us to do besides viewer questions?
Seth actually sleeps?
"Us yelling at each other, or us seriously answering your questions? Both? Music intro?"
All three. Yelling is fun!
I accidentally before you posted.
You should discuss who the best ponies are and why, that would be interesting.
Another milestone achieved.
Congratulations, Equestria Daily :)
I want to hear you guys (and Phoe) yell answers at each other. Just for laughs.
Anyway, grats' EqD on 25 Mil. Even if it is only counting the number of times I've refreshed pages.
Music intro!
Yell at us and then we yell back at you!
But it would be nice if you could answer our questions seriously...I mean...If that's ok with you..
I don't know why, but that picture is a great fit for a 25 million mark, just sayin'.
AND THEN CLICKED ON IT AGAIN
I love you all
Considering this is an English language site and the show ended a little while ago (feels like years :'( boo) I think we're doing okay.
Maybe if we work a little harder, get some more user-made pony content out there, we can reach 50m before the new series?
Wait.... Seth sleeps? that is news to me. Happy 25 million everypony. *hugs Everypony*
Ball! Ball! Baaalll....*sleepy*
Where did the Rarity/Ball thing come from?
Insane theories? How to cook lasagna? Play music and/or quotes and make the others guess what it is? Argue semantics? Solve calculus problems? Ideas are hard to come up with.
@Calnos
It came from Valcron. Who is a genius.
More yelling, Cereal.
You guys should get drunk and spend the podcast playing beer pong. Also, some Eurobeat Pony for intro/outro.
needs a new banner obviously
Why are you a box? @sethisto
Yay!! :D
@Sethisto
Clearly. There's no Scootaloo.
Do you have any detailed statistics like unique visitors, region, activity over time, referrer and some technical stuff like browser, OS or something?
I accidently click this site a hundred times a day.
Seth? Asleep?! Oh God......... POD PEOPLE!!!!!!
Still waiting for my "farting noises" show.
Seth does not sleep. He waits.
Anyways, 25 million! yay. I started coming here at around 10 million and thought it was really impressive.
As for the podcasts, a healthy mix is best, I think. Straight Q&A gets boring after a while, but devolving into complete madness also gets old.
More questions answered plz. Anyone obsessed enough to browse this site all the time (like me) already knows all your opinions. T.B.H. I felt that the arguments were predictable almost to the point of being boring.
Sorry if this post is creepy, but darnit; it's honest too!
@Sethisto
And I rest my case from my previous post.
yay
Congratulations Equestria Daily!
You clearly need a musical intro, it would make you a lot cooler.
@Jordan
Seth arose from his bed, hearing such a clatter.
His pony-senses told him 'Something was the matter'.
Merch and plushies!
Taking reuqgydgesgyyb 5yyyyyyyyyyyyexhybrdxsgtfhgfxdf
What happened to the million banners and comics?
Does nobody care about the millions anymore <:S?
>Seth
>sleeping
What is this foul sorcery you speak of?
Rather than audio only, do a Q and A with a video
@Luna
Away to his PC he flew like a flash!
Opening his e-mail, HE'd been shipped with Rainbow Dash?
Just sing main theme in the beggining, yell at each other, fart, clop and do more funny things. Or read "Cupcakes" loudly.
i like listening to you guys yell at each other
Just make the thing longer.
I request a musical intro of you and Seth singing "Art of the Dress."
Also, 69th.
Yelling!
but needs about 20% more question answers
Well Actually, Cereal I would like more questions answered, but with good commentary like you don't go off and rant about something completely different, or at least not until the end, I would love maybe a 50 sec music intro to the podcast. The podcasts may also be a really cool way to post the huge news about ponies.
@Cereal Velocity
Do a backflip!
@Display Name
I agree with this, SO MUCH!
I'd say do both... AT! THE! SAME! TIME!
@Killerowl
No! Do a barrel roll!
I feel kind of bad for not remembering who was who, but if nothing else, the one who sounds like Soarin,' I want you to loudly request that big apple pie. For an entire podcast if necessary.
Also, more shennegannery in general. It's nice to know the ones who fill our days with Pony in Hasbro's absence are in fact people.
Yelling makes everything except children better.
Is it REALLY 25 million? I've seen it said in several places that the counter on this site is just a timer, running at a steady rate calibrated to keep pace roughly with the hits, and that nobody actually knows whether it means anything much. Please clarify.
Ofcourse it's nice to hear you discuss things but I would like more questions to be answered please!
@Anonymous
It does keep count, but the graphic becomes misleading as it can only update at up to a set rate. After a few months of existing, EqD started getting more hits per second than the counter can update with. As seth hasn't changed the counter's graphics/code in that time period... Still, a refresh brings up the current, generally accurate (maybe a few thousand off) count.
for the questions thing: do what you did last time, exept you three should sing the theme song. ; )
and GREAT JOB WITH 25MILLION!!!!!!!!!!!
Where was Q&A posted? I can't find it.
50mill before season 2, lets do it!
@Anonymous
That's because you're probably looking for 'Q&A' instead of Q&Neigh'.
Ah, 25 million views! I remember 20 million like it was last week.... Oh wait.
Anyways, I'm fine with whatever you guys want to do. Just have fun with it.
@Sweetie Belle
I wasn't sure if the new one (#2) was up yet. That's a link to the first one, iirc.
Bronies
Bronies everywhere!
Dresses for everypony! You can't all go to a celebration like this without formal wear! Sis is busy in Trottingham, I don't know why, but she goes there almost twice a week. But I'll make a new gown for everypony!
NOW 100 MILLION !!!
but 25 million, it's great ^^
Yay! Rarity ball! I am content for another day!
As for things I'd like to see on the blog and with the Q&Neigh, going over the questions beforehand and choosing some good ones would be nice. Organization is your friend, and it cuts down on a lot of the "ummms" and "errrs".
As for stuff on the blog, more random stuff like the twilight video Cereal put up and the Trixie picture Seth did. Those are always fun! Also, maybe since all three of you seem to enjoy video games, maybe have an event or two where we can play with y'all. TF2 is great for this.
YESH
I just want to hear you arguing with each other and going off on random question inspired tangents.
Also, music intro would be cool.
A1.more.
A2.Yelling at each other. Yes to Both too.
A3.Maybe.(Music intro)
A4. Other sections?
damn it! this is the 167th time I enter this web by accident!
anyways, congratulations EqD!
Both and Music intro
maybe a background music...
HELL YHEA!! 25000 HAPPY ACCIDENTS!!
Sound effects, lots of sound effects (and sound clips)
Shipping, lots of shipping, lots and lots of shipping
Oh and I personally prefer listening to tangents than real conversation, and if you form enough tangents eventually they start canceling each other out...
When I first found this wonderful site, 3 million was a BIG deal, and now we're blurring past the million view mile markers like it is nothing. Which in a scary way it now is. Wowza. Stil, 25 million! Silver million milemarker passed! More views for the blog that Australia has residents!
For the podcast, new things I would like to see would be for you blog ponies to use it as a way to call attention to things you though didn't get the recognition they deserved. Some sort of a 'shout out' kind of thing I guess? While that could be something that you could easily fit into a regular post, I think hearing the three of you actually _tell_ us why you thought it was great and why we should all go and hunt this or that out and give it a read/listen/look at would give your recommendations that much more oomph.
Honestly, I would prefer if there wasn't any kind of music for the podcast, outside of maybe a brief little ditty at the start and the end to help bookend what I came for, you blog ponies answering questions and getting into off tangent, but still interesting discussion and arguements. Certainly no background for while you guys are talking. I would like to be able to concentrate on what you are all saying, without having to worry about unweaving it from a set of cool tunes.
So, in closing, thanks for asking for our input, and congrats on a major milestone! Tell me true, did any of you think it would get this huge when you started it out? Was 10 million hits in its lifetime even a wild dream when you began, let alone the fact that you are on pace for 100 million before 2012? Give yourself a pat on the back! Treat yourself to something big! (Just don't take a day off!! =P)
25 Million.
Oh my Celestia...I recall when we were under 1 million :P
Funny the fandom is not even 1 year old but I'm already nostalgic haha XD
25 million pageviews. Can't say anything really. just...whoah :) ROCK ON BRONIES !!!
As for the Q&N...hmmmmm. I would like an EqD intro. You could run an event for a custom EqD theme. Or just use a random song and credit it, like Bronyville.
I think it would do good for the podcast if you would have the show a bit more organized. It doesn't have to be very strict and noticeable, so no need to announce "now comes X part".
I could imagine starting with a theme, then some random chat for a few mins, how's everyone, etc, then answering a few questions, random chatter again for a bit, and then a few more questions, closing with something YOU 3 come up with.
Would give the show a nice frame imo.
Oh and yes, argue more lol xD
Being derailed is part of the show, so I have no problem with that, just try to stick to some loose frame. :)
My two cents ^-^
And once more, congratz on 25 million pageviews :)
mods asleep post ponies
The podcast is fine, just make it sound cooler. It needs to be about 20% cooler...
I like a mix between off-topic randomness, answering questions, and a bit of back and forth bantering too. It makes things more interesting. As long as it's not all silliness. Or all seriousness. I think most do well with a mixture of the two. As for a song, eh, maybe a short intro and outro. But I also have a hard time concentrating sometimes on the talking if there's always music playing in the background.
Heh, 25 million. I too remember when this site was first put up. When it had almost no views at all. Congrats everypony on the 25mil mark.
Also, I very much love Rarity and her ball. So cute.
Don't forget the commercials. This thing isn't going to pay for it's self without funding from Equestria Innovations.
And... maybe mention something about sis's shop. Please?
I'm sure it'll make her happy.
Speaking of numbers, according to Alexa, EqD is the 8,533 most viewed website in Romania.
Romania?
Happy 25 mill!
At the rate were hitting these, will probably be at 30 or 40 mil by the time the next season starts.
As for the Q&A..the music intro sounds like an interesting choice.
You rock! :woohoo:
Make it longer!!!
For a real suggestion, I'd say I really enjoyed the tangents you guys went on when answering questions. So my suggestion would be to not let the Q&NEIGHS become Serious Business but don't go off on tangents just for the sake of it.
Maybe you could pick the questions you're going to answer beforehand, so that you don't end up teasing us with unanswered questions like last time.
Sing the intro song at the beginning and keep the yelling/answering to a 40/60 ratio. As for other sections maybe a reading of ...Cupcakes... or something else near the end or another song maybe?
Oh yes I totally forgot to add these, thanks Anon @ 3:08 PM for reminding me, I approve.
Make it longer !!! xD
And don't make it too serious :)
It will definitely be longer.
Onwards to 25 million more!
25 million now. 100 million when season 2 starts
@Cereal Velocity
Splendid ^-^
One more thing I want to add. Have fun. I mean it. It's really cool if you folks listen to the fanbase and aim to pelase us, but I don't want you to do anything you are uncomfortable with. In a podcast it will be very audible if you are just doing the show coz the fanbase "demands" it but you don't really enjoy participating.
So, yeah, have fun making it :)
There should be lots of fun and funny. But I also believe that you guys should answer some of the more serious questions. Like certain questions related to *ahem* clopping.
Self-esteem anonpony still here. :)
THATS FANFILLYTASTIC!
Simply Amazing if you ask me. WAY TO GO!!!
@Firleycat
This.
I keep accidentally clicking on that bookmark... I don't even know why I have it really. :P
Seth, whats your favorite cereal?
[ I swear, the computer must have gotten sick or something. It keeps opening that thing like forty times a day. Maybe it's got a fever, or whatever computers get sick with. Give it some chicken soup and call a doctor. It'll be fine by Tuesday. ]
Congrats on 25 million! I know I accidentally click on this site upwards of 10 times a day; I blame it on the hooves. Since I joined the herd, Luna started wearing socks, Nightly Roundups have tacked on 40+ editions, MLP took over KYM, and the site has picked up around 8 million views (I think). Hard to believe that all happened in two months...
The Q&Neigh was fun. Listening to you guys go off topic was funny although the questions helped to give the show a bit of structure. I would love it if you did another one.
Also congrats of 25mil!!

Is that what it is?
Seth is asleep. Post Rarity.
As for the Q&Neigh, I would like to hear more questions answered, preferably ones that apply to all three of you, but the interactions between you three are also important. So if it has to be a little longer to fit more questions in, say, thirty minutes, that is fine.
