100,000,000 Hits!


It actually happened guys! We broke the internet!

A whole bunch of stuff was sent to us for the occasion.  I'll be posting it as the day goes on! For now, check out our new banner courtesy of Pixelkitties! Her art is amazing, as always.

And the obligatory screencaps:

(Pinkie Pie from Zomgitsalaura!)

Damn... and I was so sure that Pinkie would burst through the computer screen and start the party when it flipped to 100,000,000!

Congrats EQD! I've been here for the last 50 million hits, and loved every minute of it. From all of the great people, posts, artwork, stories, music, videos, events, etc, it's no wonder why this fandom and this website keep going strong! Kudos to Seth and the whole gang... you've really created something special, and I'm quite thankful for it!

Thank you all the astounding people from EqD. thanks for all your hard work in making this site awesome. This fandom wouldn't be the same without all of you guys working as hard as you do for us.

Lite Sparkle said...

A Job Very Well Done.

Congratulations on the big win, it took about 347 Days to achieve this goal. Less than a year. If Things Keep on looking this bright You'll hit 200 million before you know it.

Ten said...

Awesome job on getting the screen caps as well.

Petter said...

I wonder if Seth and the others has changed their perspective on "popular"...

http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/01/woah10000-views.html

Harwick said...

Oh, and love the new banner. It's sweet that Gummy's sharing a kiss with Twi in celebration. Open-mouthed too, for him at least. Saucy.

Broznik said...

*Royal Canterlot voice ON*
OH MOST WONDERFUL OF DAYS!

Laurea said...

Damn countdown, decided to break which caused me to miss by around 200 pageviews. >.<

archiveit said...

WOOOT! Now how long until we hit a billion?

ElectricZoNe said...

I remember when it was just past 1 million, party time!

NeoUmbra said...

Did it stay at 99999999 for anyone else?

Ysalamiri said...

Also: You know what this calls for?

Slots said...

Hooray on 100 million hits Equestria Daily!! Let's aim for the next 100 mil! Brohoofs!

I looked away for 5 minutes, and 5,000 people showed up. Ah well. WOOO 100,000,000!!! :D Keep it up guys!!

Eversor Mundius said...

I kept a separate window open to keep the countdown. Apparently the counter gets stuck at 99999999 until it gets refreshed. I will never refresh or close that window :D

Convancha said...

here you are, a gif

Ciroton said...

I remember when, back in the day, 100,000 hits was a big deal! Now, you guys get, like, 30k in a day, which is just insane! Congratulations, Seth, Phoe, Cereal, PK and all the other hard-working ponies behind the scenes! Without you, this site would not be what it is today: the epicenter of brony society!

Octavia said...

Awww, I missed screen-capping it. Now I'm really disheartened. *sigh* Knew I shouldn't have went to bed at all. :(

Well, congrats on 100,000,000 hits EqD!

Onwards to 1,000,000,000!

CityFlyer502 said...

AWW YEAH!!! 100 MILLION. Yeah, my comment's a tad late, but that's 'cause I had the party going. Congrats, EqD, and congrats to all of us.

Equinenox said...

Hurray! Congratulations, Equestria Daily. Now lets try to be /b/, and get another 100m in under a year.

Shantara said...

Congrats everypony!

Eeveexpert said...

Good lord... When I started frequenting EqD, that counter was only at 25 million.

What happened?

SubjectNumber2394 said...

Dangit I missed it! Ah well, Congratulations EqD!!

Pencils said...

Hooray! Now let's just wait until the site gets flooded with ads!

Octavia Equals Awesome said...

Congratulations EqD team! :D

May the 1 billion mark come soon ^_^

Johuotar said...

I missed it by 6800 or something. Yay anyway!

Rainbow Dash said...

And then someone on this site I go to says bronies need to get a life/get laid for this. >.>

Sebbaa said...

Was working and missed it. Oh well.
Cheers to 100 mill!

Parakarry said...

I remember somepony made a graph about when Eqd would hits 100million and 1billion, but I can't find it.
Because I'm really curious to see if we are right on schedule or not. XD

Anyway, félicitations! ^^

iisfunnyman said...

i missed it by close to 500. oh wells. a congratulatory party is in order, i do imagine

Lazuli said...

That's a lot of hits...

StarStrider said...

Whooohoo! Big hoofs up to the best website on the internet! Congrats guys! Without all of you, we definitely wouldn't be where we are now.

Phalanx said...

See you all at one billion.

PhantomBadger said...

Grats on the 1 million, shame it was delayed on my screen for some reason.

ConfusedBrony said...

Brohoofs for everypony!!
/)(\

A.A. said...

Yeah.

Let's have a party there's a full moon in the sky, it's the hour of the wolf and I don't want to die.

Octavia said...

Now I keep glancing over at the counter. Still rather amused at just how high that number is now. So many number places. About double since I first came here. The number spaces have been doubled!

Kreature said...

lol I refreshed the page when it was 400 away and it read as 8000 past 100 mill. lame but Woot for EQD

Tosxychor said...

This fandom is mesmerizing.

Dantes_Grill said...

I wounder how many views every single viewer have =P

VioletFire said...

Damn, I wish I had the page open when it happened. Anyway, HUZZAH! ^^

Rainbow Dash said...

*Dashes past everyone brohoofing along the way*

CityFlyer502 said...

@iisfunnyman In that case, someone get a hold of Pinkie.

ZAquanimus said...

I remember back when 10,000 hits was a lot o3o

HaysforPonies said...

Hard to think when I first got here, people were getting exited for 30 Million views. And that was back in summer! We are indeed a big thing!

Saddlesoap said...

When I first got into this fandom, the ticker was at 4.5 million or so. That was less than a year ago. And in that time, we truly come into our own.

*puffs pipe...bubbles come out*

Well played, Bronies. Well played.

Joe said...

Yay, no faggots posting "FIRST" ! HUZZAH!

jodyjm13 said...

I just wanted to add my praise for Pixelkitties' banner; I hope this isn't the last time we see it adorning EqD!

Bufflord said...

Is it a coincidence that it's my birthday today? I think not!

RazorEye said...

EQD, you are awesome. Congrats Seth, Cereal and all of the team at Equestria Daily. The fandom wouldn't be such as strong as it is now if it wern't for you guys!

100,000,000!!!! WOOOT!!!

Al_Skylark said...

Congratulations EQD!! My admiration for you guys will never cease!

Tristan said...

Here's to 100 million more, and beyond! Congrats to Seth, Cereal, and everyone else at Equestria Daily! Brohoofs all around!

Tylendal said...

Great. We're 10% of the way there.

Firleycat said...

Hurray, EQD reaches 100 million. We are now bigger that most modern Tv stations. World domination is close, I can feel it.

Hydra said...

Congrats EQD and everyone!!

Professor_Equine said...

100 million that's cool I guess. I bet we could hit 200 million in 10 seconds flat if we really wanted to.

Fadri said...

So many zeroes!
Congratulations! /)^3^(\

BusinACE_Brony said...

Is this even mathematically possible? For the 358 days EqD's been open, that means:
- 279,330 views per day
- With 6,456 posts as of today: 15,490 views each

How many Bronies are there?!

James Corck said...

Congratulations Equestria Daily :D

May the Magic of Friendship be with all of us.

CityFlyer502 said...

@BusinACE_Brony A lot. It's kind of mind-blowing when you look at the numbers.

airace said...

Congrats to the EQD staff and all the bronies out there, keep up the exemplary work!

richfiles said...

I joined the fandom immediately after discovering ponies due to the terrible Quake/tsunami in Japan. It was my first time visiting /b/ in literally months. After the grave news on TV had settled in, I decided to see what the internet's reaction to Japan's disaster was. I prepared for the worst, but instead found pony. EqD had JUST hit the 1 Million mark in that time...

http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/03/1000000-hits-zomg.html

OH DAT TRIXIE! LOLOL! 100 million views INDEED!

MWAHAHAHAHA!!!

Abb_eliten said...

Awww, I missed it :(

Oh well, congratulations!
This si really awesome :D

Yazzo said...

I remember when EqD was at the little-itty-bitty 20,000,000 mark. ^_^
Congrats to the best pony site on the interwebs and the AWESOME team that works on it, and I look forward to the journey to 200,000,000!

Altherix said...

I remember when the 1 million mark was a huge deal.

I feel old.

Adam Ã…gren said...

Finally! I Hope this comes on the Swedish news /)(^3^)(\ Not many Swedish people know about bronies

ChrisCola said...

100,000,000 pageviews, eh? Lol I remember being ALOT more excited when there was 10,000,000 views. Today is a bit more laid back then back then. Thanks, EQD, for making an amzingly AWESOME website!

Bullets said...

100M. Woop! Here's to 100M more! :)

Ink said...

HOLY FUUUUUU-

I LOVE YOU GUYS! I JUST WISH I COULD HAVE SEEN THE CHANGE D''''':

Coconutswallow said...

Congrats, EqD, congrats. I visit you every day and always look forward to it.

And to think this all started when I wondered why a youtube video entitled "Pinkie Pie's No Fear Song" had hundreds of thousands of views. That led to EqD and then-- brony.

Flare said...

Congratulations!

Flare said...

I love you guys and everypony else!

Bastoff said...

@Adam Ã…gren Well, I can tell that you are Swedish by looking at your name. I just happen to be Swedish too. As well as Abb_eliten just above you. Anyway...

Congratulations Equestria Daily, the best website for all pony related things, imo.

TBCrocodile said...

Congrats! 100Million views, YAY!!

Sgt Byrd said...

Broohooves all around guys.

Now we have to wait all the way to double the current score before celebrating, celebrating multiples of 10 million is old, and not just if you're wearing hipster glasses. I'm hoping we can do some more growing, rather than just keeping the current audience, but it won't be easy. The second hundred mil will be a while yet.

James Rye said...

Oh man, i totally should have refreshed like an hour ago. <_<
Oh whateva: Happy 100.000.000!!! You guys rock! XD

Party Pony said...

I just wanna say, we are all awesome. Thank you guys and girls, that's all. Have a good night, see you all at the 200,000,000 hits celebration, comming soon!

MrCartier said...

Celebrate everypony!

EPHorizon said...

Wait to go EqD!

I've been watching that counter since it hit 27 million. Amazing to see where it's gotten.

Onward, to 200 million.

Muffinsforever said...

Wooo! I remember when we were struggling for 2 million.

Omg! EQD is so awesome, and so are all the bronies helping it become so massive!

FamusJamus said...

If this was Ponibooru, we'd been drowned in "Party Hard" gifs by now.

Ahiam94 said...

That's awesome!!! But I wish I was awake to see it.

Mike Patton said...

Does this mean that in like 8-9 years there is going to be 1 billion views!? <3

By the way, CONGRATULATIONS EQUESTRIA DAILY!!!!

Eri said...

Congratulations!! I'm so happy for you <3

ict12irvin said...

Celebrate good times, COME ON!

Shutterclick brony said...

Yay EQD!

Twilight in the banner made me laugh heartily

Buf said...

Congrats guys :) You earned it!

SolidSheik said...

Congrats EQD, you deserved it. I am proud to be a brony before it hit 100 million hits :D

b0b4_f3tt_043 said...

I had been lurking around since EQD had about 24 million hits. This amazing site and community have come a long way since then, and I have no doubt there will be plenty more awesome stuff to come.

@Pegasus Rescue Brigade
Glad I'm not the only one to notice the exponential trend. At this rate, it is entirely plausible for EQD to hit 200 mil. views within the next couple of months!

pspchief said...

I remember when I first came to this website... you were celebrating 80 million hits, and that was just over a month ago!

Congratulations to Seth, Cereal, and all the others, and let's move forward to 200 million! :)

pixelkitties said...

CONGRATULATIONS Seth, Phoe, Cereal, Tek, PK, and anyone else I may have left out! You guys ARE amazing and I love you all! Good luck with the next 100 million and Thanks for everything!!!

Matthias555 said...

When i first came to EQD you were almost at 10 million hits. now 100 million. It just shows how awesome this community/fandom/movement is! (We're about 20% cooler than other fandoms)

FriendlyFireFox said...

@Parakarry

I found the graph in question, hidden in the Nightly Roundup #44.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rQAy0wsV4rSXQ1-iT2kQdZFfT48un_XWYkG05TT8KjU/edit?hl=en_US

According to it, we're about a month late, but I'm still amazed at such a pretty close prediction.

And if that graph is somewhat accurate, 1 Billion pageviews should be achieved during the first quarter of 2013, so... we'll see.

Evil Enchanter said...

@Tristan
I found you on the 100,000,000 pageview page.
I'm happy with this. BROHOOF! /)(\

ninonybox said...

Congrats EQD! also balls for me because im recording the views bar and it still has not hit the big one.....and I was recording it.

PonyPonyPonyBrony said...

WOO HOO! You rock!

Stayed up all night to watch this. =)

Chucklesmoke Spray said...

SCOOTALOO is best pony.
EQD is best website.
BRONY 4 LIFE!
(because even after the show's over, the fans will continue.)

DecayedPony said...

The sad part is, it's 1/4 of the views Justin Beiber had on his video Baby... :/

Jon Fawkes said...

Congrats on 100,000,000 EqD! And here's to another hundred million!

Sir Le Flour said...

Congrats. You now own the internet. All hail EqD :D

MyBoyJ said...

Congratulations EqD! I knew you could do it! This site was instrumental in my becoming a Brony and my life has improved considerably since then. Thank you to everyone who makes this site the awesome place it is!

Smashmatt202 said...

I love the new banner! :D

alexroanheim said...

Man it's been so long. I remember being in the thread on 4chan when Seth (Twilight's Horadric Cube) first made the blog. So glad to see this became so popular. Rawk On.

BakedBad said...

I first started visiting right after after ED hit 3 million and at the time that was big, but a 100 million in less than a year, that's absolutely astounding.

Congulations Equestria Daily!!!
You earned it.

Nathanial Smith said...

Not to get political, but this page will allow you to see, how many hits we have. It shows you a $100 bill, and then exponentializes it to show increasing orders of magnitude. Just don't scroll down a lot or you will probably loose your faith in America. Just stop at the 100,000,000 dollar stack.

Anyway, here it is: http://usdebt.kleptocracy.us/

Pontius Possum said...

100 mil hits in 51 weeks. Wow

I would not be the brony I am without EQD, so thank you Seth, Phoe, Cereal, PK, the pre-readers, and everone else who run and maintain the site.

My prediction: 200 mil hits at October

Sturs said...

WHOOHOO! WE DID IT! WE DIT IIIIT! A SONIC RAINMILESTONE! WHOO!

Sunset Sprinkles said...

*Saw this while checking EqD is school*

AAAAAAWWWWWW YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH
CONGRATS EVERYPONY!
Hope EqD reaches 200,000,000!

CaptainDerpyHooves said...

Successful website is successful


Congrats, let's aim for 9.999.999.999 !

Ysalamiri said...

And already, almost 100k further :D This community rocks like no other ^^

Edward Stone (Darkly) said...

Jeez...I remember coming to EqD a way back when. Like I don't know if it was January or February, probably January, but it's amazing to see how much this site has grown since then.

Great work guys!

HMorris73 said...

100,000,000 hits in just under a year. Not bad, not bad at all.

lesserpoet said...

Congrats EqD. This is an amazing milestone, and every last one of you should be immensely proud. I have had the pleasure of being along for a whole lot of this ride, since way back when this site had the great Trixie vs. Applejack banner war back at 5 million. I wouldn't have traded a single moment of it.


Here's to 100 million more, 100 million times over!

MAZAL TOV!!!!!!!!!!!

Jelfes said...

I've been here for ninety-nine million+ of those views. Woohoo!

Gummy said...

HAPPY 100000000 EQD!
Free Gummy's classy cola for all!

tsubakainoue said...

You know what this calls for a... PARTY!!!!!!

Alexis Saravia said...

I never believe that ticker because it's always moving. There's no way there's that much traffic through here all the time.

Atomicbob said...

And heres to another 100 million!
Cheers, y'all!

Mike said...

I Missed it FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...

At least lots of other people probably got screencaps

CGentilcore11 said...

I've been here since about 20 million... Time sure does fly...

Pawn Heart said...

Thank you to everyone who has created the content for this site... and a gigantic thank you especially to the staff of EqD. You've worked so hard to make this the magnificent fandom hub it is... Long live EqD!

Mojo said...

iv been around this site since sayyy less than 10'000 page views, iv seen all it's growth, changes and everything.

All I got to say is HERE'S TO ANOTHER HUNDRED MILLION. Lets see if we can do it in half a year!

Commodore Z said...

Thanks for being here for us, EqD staff!

Espion400 said...

Congratulations Equestria Daily! I'm so immensely thankful and grateful for all the wonderful moments you have given me! Keep up the good work and before you know it, we hit 200 million! #Epic Brohoof to everyone /)*(\

Segatendo said...

Congrats EqD, thanks for everything.

Sombreon said...

Oh wow. 100,000,000? Where has the time gone by? Seriously, I remember when we were still at the 1 millions. And now we're at 100 million? It's amazing that's what it is.

How much the community has grown... And I still haven't hit 1 year of pony in my life yet.

Flare said...

Word if this post: Memorable and amazing!

blueponys said...

Did pinkie break the party meter yet?! Cause it needs to be broken!

b0b4_f3tt_043 said...

@Alexis Saravia
I doubt it's in real time. The site probably sums up the page views at fixed time intervals (i.e. every hour) or when the user refreshes the page. The counter is most likely incremented at an averaged rate via client-side code.

Scout said...

Oh well I missed it. dumb EST.
Regrdless
~yay~!
