Phew, I'm not in that meetup photo. No evidence!

Scribejay said...

I would totally still watch if United Plankton got the contract.

otakon17 said...

SO AWESOME! I remember that PMV, ahh memories.

WesPLOOP said...

cheerlessness first

Flutterfan said...

I like that budapest meetup poster.

WesPLOOP said...

I was first lol... then I took an arrow in the knee

Celestia said...

Oh that pmv. The Derpy helmet is nice and we're succeeding where Pinky and the Brain failed.

Though Octaviapus? I'm confused.

Jelfes said...

@WesPLOOP Just like the many guards of Skyrim, huh?

Rhe7oric said...

Aeiou. 999, 999, 999. Here comes another chinese earthquake brbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbr.

This PMV helped me become a brony, along with various other Youtube Poops about MLP:FIM during early May 2011.

Dylanf3 said...

Dutch Meetup today :D

Kyle Johnson said...

Hey Sethisto! Kabaka from PonyChat, here. It's cool seeing my map featured (it was originally just a proof-of-concept for a much cooler project, which I'll share later).

Anyway, you put ponychan.net instead of ponychat.net on here (again!). :-P

MasterContinuum said...

Thank Celestia that VIACOM hasn't gotten its dirty little hands on this jewel. The fandom would die.

Bombedrumbum said...

Call upon the Seaponies?


Anyways, it's finally voting time, yay. I always loved those.....

Wow that PMV hit 1,000,000? That brings back memories of the good ol' days.........

That physics thing.......wow............Seth really nailed my reaction

Meep said...

Gasp we have yet to conquer Greenland!!

CityFlyer502 said...

As I'm writing this post, I'm 'commemorating' a week of being a brony. My only regret at this point was not having come across this series any sooner. I only found out about it when I started looking into memes a few months ago. But I digress. That PMV has instantly joined my top 10 list of "WTF media." I certainly wouldn't mind having that Derpy helmet. And such a pity I can't attend that Albany meetup. I live in New York City, but I'd be totally willing to drive up there. Only thing is I already have a prior commitment that day. Oh, well. I'm sure another opportunity will present itself.

*End unnecessarily detailed post*

Bombedrumbum said...

.........and there's there's a random brony out in the ocean around the Prime Meridian..........

thunderhooves said...

Are you excited? I'm excited! I've never been so excited! Well, except for that one time when SPOILER. But I mean really, what could top that?

Anonymous said...

>Brony map.
>Only one brony in my area.

Forever alone.

DerpyO said...

Do you see that single pip in South Africa? That's me... foreveralone.jpg

Mattatatta said...

I've never played Minecraft before, but I really enjoy watching these guys play it with pony skins.

Unsuspecting Herd said...

Africa and Asia need to step up their game... one billion people in India and only one brony? Kazakhstan has two! Get to work, India... plenty of you speak English.

Stateside, Alaska and Montana look pretty weak.

What's with the marker on the equator in the Atlantic Ocean (0,0)? it's too far west to be Sao Tome & Principe.

chaos8r8k said...

80000000 views!!!
clapclapclap :)

Vanishing said...

Either there is another brony here in Murray, or that little blip is me. Either way, lol.

Also: it appears there is a least one brony in my hometown of Owensboro. WOOO

Octavia said...

I will play for you the song of my people!

Hah. The US and Europe are pretty much just big blobs of red at this point on that pony map. There's still a -little- white left... soon though. *soon.jpg*

Oh goodness. That PMV. lol Complete classic in the community now. Congrats on the 1 million hits! Aeiou!

Derpy helmet! Derpy will protect us. <3

Dat pony physics review. A little lost, but psychics isn't my strong suit.

Another funny episode of Yogcast. I don't play Minecraft, but I do sometimes enjoy others playing it. Weird. lol

I'm sure the guys behind Fighting is Magic will find an awesome voice for Pinkie. Heck, if I thought I could pull off a good Pinkie I'd audition. Be fun for an awesome game like that. :D

Awww, Derpy plush with a scarf. Cute. <3 And that Dash clock is totally awesome.

Viridian said...

That physics poster looks pretty impressive, I must say...the kinetic energy theorem explains quite a bit about Equestria.


In regards to Unsuspecting Herd's comments about the US portions of the ponychat map...I can't speak for Montana, but it's unsurprising that Alaska's so sparse on blips. Half of the state's entire population, roughly, lives in the Anchorage area, where the lower blip is. Outside of that, Fairbanks (the other blip), and Juneau, it's very sparsely populated up here.

Of course, what can you expect with fewer people than LA spread out over an area four times the size of Texas? *shrug*

Pyrobug said...

*looks at the banner* What is even this now?

Damo said...

alright, the QLD brony meetup was freaking amazing. there was about 40 of us all up ... I'm swimming in vodka so my memory's a little fuzzy on that. we hung out around a shopping center for a bit and managed to cram about 30 people into a very tiny aisle where all the pony merch was located before parading out to a park 5 minutes away and having a brilliant time talking and hanging out. I'm the dude holding the poster I made that everypony signed. WE WILL DO IT AGAIN AND THERE WILL BE MORE!!!

Rrazz said...

I was totally at that Queensland meetup :D

If you look to the left of the guy holding a banner there's a guy in a black shirt...the next one over, the OTHER guy with the black shirt and the cap...that's totally me! :P You can totally see Fluttershy on my shirt!

RazorEye said...

YES! THEY DID IT! 80 MILLION HITS!

Didn't they already do #3 also?

DoctorWhooves said...

@Ponychat Demographic Map the one in Croatia is me... *forever alone face* ;_;

JWolf said...

WAIT. I never made a blip, which means... those blips around Cleveland are other people. And here I thought I was alone in northern Ohio ;__;

Dionysus said...

Get the voice actor from witchcraft is magic for Pinkie, she does an awesome job.

Masquerade said...

We need more bronies in Africa.
...
And Makinac.

Shatara said...

OCTAVIPUS! She's her own string quartet.

lightningpony said...

Wow really well done Rarity plush, also ok there totally has to be more bronies than that in Canada.

Cali-Nipponia said...

I wonder if one of those four tags in Japan is me.

Flutterguy said...

Apparantly I'm the only Brony in Montana T.T

ThemsAllTook said...

Yay, more Yogscast! The first video got me into Minecraft.

Viridian said...

@Flutterguy

Just the only one who uses ponychat. I hadn't even heard of it m'self until this post.

Dusty the Royal Janitor said...

What in the world is that new banner?

Discord made oragami out of the Mane 6? That's kinda freaky... O_o

pmcollectorboy said...

I'm watching that Rarity, but I'm worried it'll get jacked up in price at the last minute and become well out of my range.

Suigintou41 said...

Aww yeah! I knew there are some Estonian bronies! Need to do a meetup, eeyup.

MagicLlama said...

"Charge"? Derpy is CLEARLY carrying a medic bag. Duh.

frith said...

While that map doesn't give out addresses, I could totally find two bronies based on it, and one happens to be just down a short street from where some of my BFF's live! 0_0 As for me, for some reason I'm not on the map. I guess data from Bronystate streams don't count. Anyway, no bronies within a 50 mile radius of me, again. All the MLP merch is mine!! Bwa ha ha ha!

Mike said...

According tot hat map, there is a few bronies near me. How do I contact theeeem?

MagicLlama said...

THERE IS ANOTHER BRONY ON CHAT IN LEXINGTON KY! I MUST KNOW WHO IT IS!

MagicLlama said...

@Mike

Like that.

@frith

The blips are a bit off. Mine is actually a mile or so away. I think a bit of internet guestimating is involved.

Woodencoyote said...

dim ond pedwar bronys yn Cymru! Ofnadwy :p

Space King said...

Holy crap, I know where that picture was taken. Ponies are a little too close to home now. :|

frith said...

@MagicLlama Yes, Google Maps does tend to miss the mark, I wouldn't be surprised if it was intentional. Like another time, I gave my address to the map and it completely missed my house. ^_^ But if you are chatting from a buisness and the map pins the buisness' icon on the map, I'd suspect that would be a reliable hit. Or maybe that was just a coincidense. I wouldn't know unless I knocked on the buisness' door and called out "Hey! any Bronys here?". 8^D
