    I have no clue what is going on in this image, but it's awesome.

    But she already knows that.

    Vancouver Fan Expo - Snails, Blueblood, and Fancy Pants Attending


    For all of you up in Vancouver, apparently the voice actors behind Snails (Richard Cox), and Blueblood/Fancy Pants (Trevor Devall) will be attending.  They don't have a ton of lines in the series, but I'm sure you guys can go bug them about some pony related stuff!

    Check the con out here.


    Ponysquare Crash

    These dudes need a banner!
    For the people out there that use Ponysquare for all your social networking needs, have some copy paste from the admins about the recent outage:
    We’re very sorry to inform you that we have had a server crash on our database server.
    This unfortunately mean that all user profiles and everything added to the site since the latest backup is gone with the server. Even worse is it that the latest off-site backup we have is from 01/11. Our backup from Wednesday is unfortunately on the server that crashed since we had not taken a file-system error into consideration.
    We have done everything we could trying to save the data including hiring an IT professional to recover the database without luck.

    This ultimately means that the almost few thousands new members we have got since that will have to make new accounts if they choose to give us another chance.
    We will do our best to gain your trust again and will get a professional security check of our server to ensure something like this never happens again.
    This was suppose to be a weekend of progress and developments but unfortunately ended up being a weekend of data loss and downtime.

    Again we’re incredible sorry about what have happened and can nothing but hope the members with the deleted accounts will give us and PonySquare another chance and help us move forward.

    Phillipines Meetup


    >Playcolt

    I lol'd. Have some clop free copy paste:
    Yesterday, January 28, 2012, a small portion of the Philippine Bronies (28 people) met for a day of fun and Ponies. We derped at the Arcade, then invaded the Pink section at "Toys R Us", much to the staff's surprise and then left as quickly and loudly as we came, leaving the staff confused and slightly panicking. And then ended the day with a feast at Pizza Hut :D
    --------------------------------------------------------------
    Malaysia Meetup


    Wow, light painting is pretty badass. Have some links and a copy paste:

    Spokane Meetup




    Website

    Copy Paste:
    On January 28, the Spokane Area Bronies had their first meetup.  There were no plans figured out ahead of time past "let's all meet up here at this time", yet it turned out to be a fun day.  After gathering up at the River Park Square mall, we decided to take a picture by the Red Wagon in Riverfront Park.  After taking a few photos, we wandered over to a local gaming store called Uncle's Games and browsed.  Turns out that the employees that were there for that shift are also bronies!  We would up purchasing a chakram-style flying disc, and wandered back over to the park and played catch for a while.  A noteworthy highlight of that was when Fluttershy kept the disc from going into the river (translation: the disc hit a tree, thus avoiding the river).  We headed back to River Park Square for lunch, chatting and listening to pony music while we brainstormed other ideas for future meetups.  After wandering around the mall and downtown for a while longer, we realized that the meetup had been going on for over 4 hours!  We headed our separate ways, agreeing to have another meetup on February 11th.

      ReplyDelete
    16. @derpy dash typhlosion

      Richard Cox plays Inuyasha, and Trevor Devall plays Prince Blueblood and Fancy Pants.

      Trevor Devall has a great voice acting podcast at trevordevall.com :D

    19. Sweet! the Myth panel has become reality! I've updated my BroNYcon report. I'm still missing Dr Psych Ology's panel, part of the music concert (unless it really was that short) and the first panel with Bronyville and Everfree Radio.

      ReplyDelete
    20. Did I hear BronyCraft? I'm gonna go dust off my Wings of Liberty copy, be back soon.

      ReplyDelete
    21. Now there are Malaysian and Filipino bronies, hopefully we get to see Korean bronies (I actually encountered some Korean bronies on DA so maybe the fandom is finally making a small bloom)

      ReplyDelete
    22. I wish my state had MLP meetups. *sigh*

      ReplyDelete

    33. wow, that title image is amazing

      ReplyDelete
    34. Oh my, that Playcolt poster. I giggled too.

      I'm really sorry to hear about what happened over on Ponysquare. That's rough.

      ReplyDelete
    35. oh boy, I can just see a crowd of ponies bugging Mr. Cox & Mr. Devall about their very minor pony stuff and not for their big voice-acting history...

      I hope FoalPapers' mythology panel gets enough exposure as he did when he was at BroNYCon. I was really bummed when he called it off at the con, but glad that he finally got around to uploading the whole presentation on Youtube!

      Also feeling pretty bad for the PonySquare folks. Hope the best for those guys! And I'll definitely check out their site!

      Yaay! Filly-pino Bronies! :D Glad to see that their meetup group has seriously grown immensely from the previous featured nightly roundup meets!

      oh seth, Of course YOU would pick THAT photo for the NorCal meetup! :P I had so much fun that day and hope to see everypony again soon at the next meet!

      also: Dat Celestia plush <3

    36. i really wish there was a michigan meetup.
      but i don't have the resources to start one.

      ReplyDelete
    37. Ponies in my Starcraft? Yes please! Too bad I'm not really good at Starcraft so no tournament for me.

      Woot! Top PMV's of the month lives! However, I forgot a lot of the one's I said I would vote for, I have a really poor memory. The one's I do remember were the Spongebob "Texas is Dumb" PMV and the Enter Sandman PMV

    38. @derpy dash typhlosion

      Wow... InuYasha... is Snails...
      Snails just got at least 20% more bad flank!

      Twi! Give Snails a #25... He deserves it!

      ReplyDelete
    39. I would go to the NorthWest Arkansas Meetup but I have school and I would have no way of getting there. :(

      ReplyDelete
    40. That's the first Arkansas meet-up I've seen on here :D Too bad I don't live close enough to go there.

      ReplyDelete
    41. An Arkansas meetup that's close by, not conflicting with other plans, and on a day when I'll have access to a vehicle!?
      Looks like my day is lined out.

      ReplyDelete
    42. In case anyone is all that curious, the image is a spoof on the anime/manga "Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles" by CLAMP. It's a good read, the anime lacks a little IMO.
