• Woah...10,000 views

    I definitely didn't expect this to be so popular.  I was honestly under the impression that /co/ had maybe 30 Bronies who posted around the clock, but I guess that isn't the case! I really wish I had HTML experience so I could make an awesome website, but sadly 1 semester of it doesn't really give me the capabilities required to do anything blogger couldn't do 10 times better. 

    Thanks for checking the place out! Hopefully I can keep up with the archives and stuff in the future. I might add more people as editors and stuff for the blog soon, probably well known tripfriends (sorry anon), especially now that stuff is getting so much more difficult to manage solo. The transition phase from blogger->personal domain still isn't completely finished, so all the quick edit buttons aren't available yet making things a bit more time consuming.  I'm taking the second HTML class over the summer, so maybe I can build something cool after that?

    I had a movie blog before this that only hit 5000 views after 6 months, it's amazing how quickly Equestria Daily grows.  But obviously none of this would be possible without the awesome community over at /co/.  How the hell does 4chan, the scum of the internet, house so much creativity?  I'm more open to telling people I watch My Little Pony than showing them 4chan.

    I'm going to be adding some features and junk to the site.  The side bars would look a lot better as side buttons with drop down menus.  I've found tutorials for this stuff but they never seem to work the way I want.

    I also just found out today that my cap on space is 1gb.  So I need to be really conservative on the images.  You guys would be doing me a huge favor if you uploaded your stories to google documents.  The large .png images are usually around 5mb, so I can only fit so many.

    And as I said on /co/, leave the stuff you want me to upload in comments here.  I read every comment, so that's your best bet.  If you see me post on /co/, chances are I'm digging through an archive or resizing/posting and won't respond for a few minutes.   

    So heres to 40,000 more visits so I can make another cheesy celebratory post at 50k.

      Anyway, MLP:FIM has come a long way:

      one of the most popular memes on KYM

      so many fansites/ gigabytes of fanmade content

      all over /b/ and /co/

      creators know about the fanbase

      it's on minecraft

      it's going to be a flash game and there are 3-D models

      roughly 411,000 pageviews here in 5 days

      epic, life-changing effects for a few people

    7. three more orders of magnitude? on our current trajectory that means five more months. Then, the pony craze will have reached everypony with a computer.

    10. Do you still read every comment, Seth?

      ReplyDelete
    11. And now we're getting 10 times this much a day at least!

      ReplyDelete
    12. January 26th: "Ten thousand views? AMAZING!"

      October 5th: "Oh hey, we hit fifty million or something. Whoo."

      How times have changed.

      ReplyDelete
    13. And now 75,000,000 views. Never expected this, eh Seth?

      ReplyDelete
    14. I wonder if we'll hit the 100,000,000 mark before this post reaches its anniversary? XD

      THE POPULARITY HAS BEEN SQUARED!

      ReplyDelete
    15. and now it's 10000 times more views. yay!

      ReplyDelete
    16. 10,000 views is popular? lol. Try 100 million. xD

      ReplyDelete
    17. 10,000? Old tales, its 100,000,000 NOW!!

      ReplyDelete
    18. Posting here because history. History is why.

      Man, when Seth thought this was a big number. Another 10,000 is nothing now... today there's been at least 40,000 alone, not even counting the passing of the 100 million milestone.

      And then when we get to 10 billion or whatever, we'll look back on that and dismiss it as small and insignificant, I'm sure. Ah... how times change.

      ReplyDelete
    19. And 110,000,000 passed without anyone even raising an eyebrow. I suppose no one will react again until 200,000,000 :p
      Onward to one billion~!

      I wasn't even a brony back during these posts, but looking back at them makes me feel a weird kind of nostalgia, oh how this fandom has grown. Makes me tear up a bit. To see things like 3 comments on a drawfriend, it's crazy to me.

      ReplyDelete
    21. Heh, the days when it was actually possible for Seth to read every comment. Not to mention the days when everypony posted anonymously.

    22. One hundred thirty five million views later...

      ReplyDelete
    23. Only five million away from the big 2-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0. No one thought back then we'd ever use the words 'only five million' :p

    24. Once season three starts up, we'll be hitting 300,000,000 easily.
