I see a LOT of Rainbow Dash in here!
For those that haven't been following the contest, the first place winner will receive 1000 bucks cash, so the stakes are pretty high!
The site is a bit buggy right now, but you can at least view the submissions on the scroll bar at the bottom. Both Phoe and I had a weird script error pop up, so hopefully they fix that one soon!
You can find the voting gallery here!
Or the main announcement post here!
^Update^ Apparently we unintentionally crashed their servers. Nice work everypony!
(I'm seeing a serious lack of Trixie here!)

20% cooler. So punny.
ReplyDeleteI think I might actually get that shirt.
XD we killed the server
ReplyDeletelol
ReplyDeleteAlso, the winning shirts will likely be made into officially licensed merchandise. They are subject to approval by Hasbro, but WeLoveFine already screened the shirts before putting them up for voting.
ReplyDelete@Brevity
ReplyDeleteYay for Unintentional RAIDS!
I have only experienced traffic lag like this on one occasion: when everyone in the world was F5-ing the TF2 blog for Meet the Medic.
ReplyDeleteAaaand we crashed the site already. I love us.
ReplyDeleteLol, I love the 20% cooler one
ReplyDeletewoops....
ReplyDeleteuhh
Well
How many of these will be made into shirts? I see a number in there that I'd like to buy.
ReplyDelete@Vimbert the Unimpressive
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Ponychan's already been there half an hour, we just were the icing on the cake!
I think we just pulled an unintentional DDoS xD
ReplyDelete'Link to database cannot be established.'
ReplyDelete...
Celestia would not be pleased.
This just shows how big we are now...
ReplyDeleteWe are like equius, we don't know our own power.
Is the registration not working for anyone else?
ReplyDeletehighfives for crashing their server!
ReplyDeletewant to kill a site? link it on EQD.
ReplyDelete@ChromeCrash
ReplyDeleteMaybe brohoofs...?
andthatshowequestriawasmade.jpg
ReplyDeleteRUN CMC shirt = pure win.
ReplyDeleteJust Sayin'.
They're not fixed yet, are they.
ReplyDelete...Dammit, I crave voting! More than that, I crave T-shirts!
Damn it, I just may buy the 20% cooler one. Fans would get it and I wouldn't raise suspicion with my dad.
ReplyDeleteAll I'll say is this:
ReplyDeleteThe shirts that had better as f*** be at AWA this year. Because all of my money they can has.
I guess I'll have to come back later once their databases are in working order.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteSecond. I'm expecting a brony takeover at AWA this year.
I'm used to helping crash websites, but this is the first time I wish a website hasn't been taken down :(
ReplyDeleteThe bronies are as powerful as LulzSec.
ReplyDeleteI was able to see it before the site went down, checked it much earlier today actually. I made the Pinkie Pie made out of the word "Ponies" and one of the Coloured Line Art of Fluttershy and her Crazy Laughing with "All shall love me." I also did a "Twilight Sparkle is Evolving" one, but I wouldn't be suprised if it was cut due to containing a Pokeball...
ReplyDeleteBut if you see any of them, vote a 5 on them please? When the site goes back up of course.
Further proof that Pony is a force that is not to be trifled with...
ReplyDeleteWhoo! Mine are up too, but the site being down is sad! I did the Real Men Love Ponies one and a few others.
ReplyDeleteI just don't know if I can wait a month to find out...
Oh dear.
ReplyDelete>toomuchpony
I guess we slashdotted them! .. or would that be EQDed them?
We don't know our own strength...
ReplyDeletehmm, strange amount of RD for her only getting 3rd in the most popular pony poll...i guess because she's the most masculine out of the mane six more bronies feel safe wearing a RD shirt
ReplyDeletecrashed the server? nice!
ReplyDeletefrom their homepage:
ReplyDelete"Due to increased traffic for the contest, we will be momentarily offline while we perform some maintenance. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and encourage visitors to come back soon."
"Please come back by 10:30PM PST!"
ReplyDeleteStill won't let me login.
ReplyDeleteSeth, I think you just organized a DDoS on their servers without even knowing it...
ReplyDeleteDont worry Seth. I heard the cops dont break down your doors until 8 or 9 AM. Plenty of time to hide the evidence.
ReplyDeletelol I love how we crashed their servers. Nice.
ReplyDeleteSo many good shirt designs.....
ReplyDeleteI can see the site but I can't sign up :c
ReplyDeleteStill down. :(
ReplyDeleteAt least if we crashed the servers they will know how serious the market is of people who want these sorts of T-shirts. This can only be a good thing.
ReplyDelete-
Flutterguy.
I filled the request for subtle shirts for both guys and girls...if you see my five designs, please give them a vote! :)

^ They look like this ^_^; Thanks!
I think that we can count this as us officially showing Hasbro (albeit indirectly) that we're willing to actually act on the "take our money" part of "shut up and take my money". At the point where a company that only sells shirts has its servers overloaded by us wanting the shirts, I think it counts as a success.
ReplyDeleteIt's working now! :D (for me at least)
ReplyDeleteIf you go to http://welovefine.com/ you get the following message.
ReplyDelete"Due to increased traffic for the contest, we will be momentarily offline while we perform some maintenance. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please come back by 10:30PM PST!"
For internatinal bronies, PST is -7 GMT. Hope this helps ;)

Down again T.T...
ReplyDeleteI didn't see my designs but more seemed to be added. How many steps were there in submitting a design because the page crashed after I entered all the required information and hit submit. For both my designs. I didn't hit refresh for fear of losing one of my design slots. I REALLY hope my designs made it in...
I had it working, but the lag made me misvote a few times. I think I'll still wait a while.
ReplyDelete@Cheer Song:
ReplyDeleteAll my money. Take it.
>looks at title picture
ReplyDelete>looks at Twilight Sparkle picture 3rd from the left
Geez, this looks like Twilight wearing Pinkie's evil dress from Cupcakes.
@Anonymous
ReplyDelete...aaaaand now I can't unsee.
Thanks.
Quoted from Senator Myth
ReplyDeleteJust think though. Hasbro: "What kind of response did you get to the t-shirts?" "They crashed our servers in less than five minutes." "O.O"
"Never underestimate bronies" or "These servers suck" ?
ReplyDeleteFIFTEEN MINUTES
ReplyDeleteI am looking at the shirts right now. I have found 20 that I want to buy so far
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Bronies, we crashed their server ^_^
ReplyDeletelol site is totally crippled right now, even though 1030 has come and gone. managed to start a registration (you need to log in before voting) but it came back down before I could log in.
ReplyDelete"Update @ 10:45PM: The children are still working hard! Please bear with us!"
ReplyDeleteHopefully the fact we crashed their servers will convince them to make a LOT of t-shirts.
ReplyDeleteOh, and the Team Luna shirt is all sorts of cute.
ReplyDeleteWell, the site's back up, but the voting page is coming up blank.
ReplyDeleteIs it working for anyone else?
This was my entry
ReplyDeletehttp://fav.me/d41d4rv
We accidentally a whole t-shirt website. Derp!
ReplyDeleteAnd they don't let you vote on your own designs. Confound it.
ReplyDelete-Me : Oh , cool , i'll vo...
ReplyDeleteServer : Nope!
If you try and go to the Voting page now you will get the following message.
ReplyDelete"KIDS
We'll be back soon.
Hello all!
WeLoveFine thanks you for all the love and support you have shown us in the My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Contest.
Unfortunately our server was not ready for all the traffic this contest has drawn to our site. We are working hard to get it back up as soon as possible so please bear with us.
We will definitely be back 20% cooler!
Please follow us on our Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr to receive latest news on MLP contest and don't forget to check out all of our MLP tees."
I don't know why they are calling us 'KIDS' but I hope that this server crashing news reaches some higher ups at Hasbro. :)
Confound these bronies! They drive my site to DDoS!
ReplyDelete@nuclearsuplexattack
ReplyDeleteOMG WANT
It is freaky and scary that bronies can accidentally DDoS a site. I vote we do the pentagon next. =P
ReplyDeleteThat'll show 'em who's really best pony.
First crashing servers then we crash THE WORLD!!! Muwhahah!!!
ReplyDeleteStill can't wait to see everything eveypony made I know its going to be epic.
PS. vote for the one with a bunch of a little bit of everyone and I'll give you some internet gum. (It's air flavored)
Haha! That`s one more server we crashed! Add it to the list... Is this fandom awesome or what?
ReplyDeleteWoo, voting's back up!
ReplyDelete^Wait, false alarm. Site said it was, clicked and it wasn't.
ReplyDeleteMy bad.
Oh dear...
ReplyDeleteIt's tomorrow (referenced from yesterday) and the site is back up, but voting has been taken down... Yikes.
We took a toll on them.
