Saberspark has put together what is essentially a timeline of the last year in ponydom. It hits a lot of the aspects of the community, and paints a pretty good picture of what we have accomplished so far. Check it out after the break!
Have some Pizza pony too, that was the highlight of my year.

ReplyDeleteHurrah for another year! Let's keep it up everypony!
ReplyDelete:) I still remember the day I became a brony this year. September 17th. Happy new year's eve everypony
ReplyDeleteSaberspark! :D
ReplyDelete:D This is awesome *Brohoof*
ReplyDeleteAlso for some more new years fun, PonyToast is doing a top 50 countdown of pony music over at Celestia Radio :D
Happy New Years everypony!
What is Peperoni made of? Pigs or something? o-O
ReplyDeleteAwesome :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome :)
ReplyDeleteThis community still amazes me with each passing day. Everytime I something like this, I cry tears of joy.
ReplyDeleteFAR too melodramatic. I understand that it was supposed to be funny, but I thought it was overkill.
ReplyDeleteGod, that pizza pony makes cheese-haters like me want to throw up and die......makes my stomach turn...ew
ReplyDeleteI'm proud to be a brony.

ReplyDeleteHoo-rah. I've been here since April, and haven't regretted a day of it.
ReplyDeleteI love you bronies. :3
ReplyDelete@Peter Yeah, gotta agree - way too melodramatic. I mean come on, most of the world doesn't even know we exist - other than spreading memes like wildfire, we've hardly "shown the world" anything at this point.
ReplyDeleteBut regardless, this was an amazing year for bronies. I became a brony in July of this year, mere days after finding out about the show, and the fanbase just keeps growing at a size that astounds me. It's gone from pretty humble numbers at the start of 2011 to the colossal meme/art/music/video/story-generating force of the internet it is today. And I only expect even better things for 2012!
So here's to a new year, full of promise for this community! See you all next year!
Damn right 2012 is going to be a great year for us! We still have more than half a season of episodes to go, fan projects are getting closer to their completion, and the community is growing ever larger. A Happy New Year to all of you.
ReplyDeleteWe have taken over the Internet, we have shown our power on the News, we have the power
ReplyDeleteSoon the world will be next...
I remeber the day my friend showed me the first episode after it first came out. No regrets
May Rainbow Dash and FiM live on!!
@Deadend197 Pepperoni is a type of sausage.
ReplyDeleteSaberspark is swiftly establishing himself as an emerging pillar of the brony community, wouldn't you agree? Nicely done, as always!
ReplyDeleteBecame infected near the start of August. I regret nothing.
ReplyDeleteI may have come into this a little late, but I'm glad that I did. This is just the most awesome community, and I can see it's been an equally awesome year. Many thanks to every single person in this community and the fine people that work so hard to produce the series. Now let's make 2012 and every year after the best ever.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, everypony!
Eugh, that pizza pony makes me think of Pizza the Hut eating himself. D:
ReplyDelete@Starfire You just had to bring that up. I keep cracking up every time I come to that part. LOL

ReplyDeleteUgh, didn't like the video at all. Don't really need more circle-jerking from the fandom.
ReplyDeleteAh Pizza Pony, I love you
ReplyDeletePIZZA PONY?!?!?!?!? MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhile I agree it did feel a bit too self congratulatory rather than silly It has been a pretty cool year for us all.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping things only get more awesome!
Ok this video is SO FUCKING inaccurate. I'm pretty sure this guy only made it to be featured in EqD (and I must say, good job sir).
ReplyDeleteEqD was never a refuge for ponyfags when the bans started in 4chan because the ponythreads were only banned for one day, no more, and Ponychan and FiMchan were already online.
oh dear.. what song was that at the end... do want full download, and share it with pizza pony.
ReplyDelete@Tre
ReplyDeletehttp://www.mediafire.com/?mtco2mdl1og was used in this video.
http://www.mediafire.com/?of8kv2x4q1d5olc is another version.
@Mezkalito
ReplyDeletePretty much my thoughts exactly. This video is a highly inaccurate account of the growth of the brony fandom. It was the spread to /b/ that popularized it and Equestria Daily was around a good month before he Febuary bans (which only lased a couple of days). Yeah, 4chan isn't the center of the fandom it used to be but it is still a part of it.
Pizza? Mixed with ponies?
ReplyDeleteYEEEEEEEEEEEES!
Happy new years, everypony!
ReplyDelete@Hivemind
ReplyDeleteThe proper term the image was created to represent is "Pepperbronies"
This made me happy
ReplyDeleteHere's to a new year of bronies, everypony!
ReplyDeleteOnly if i became a Brony at the beginning of this year....all those wasted months...
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI will say once again that I am proud to be a part of this fandom. It's been great, everyone, and I can't wait until next year.
ReplyDelete(Which is in about 6 hours and 11 minutes for the East Coast)
HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM ROMANIA EVERYPONY :D
ReplyDeleteAt this rate we're going to be classified as a religion.
ReplyDeletePIZZA THE HUTT AS PONY IS BEST PONY! (*not)

Immediately escape any and all military service.
While I don't think MLP:FiM will have quite the change on the world as we think it will (or we think it should), it definitely has a tremendous impact on the animation industry for sure.
ReplyDeleteIt's opened the door for a whole new breed of storytelling...which actually isn't new at all. More of a comeback. But MLP:FiM has shown that there is quite a market and appeal for making a simple, straightforward story that doesn't depend upon cynicism or sarcasm to make a point. Just write sincerely from the heart, throw in some d'awww, make all the characters four-legged and marshmallow-shaped, bam, success.

ReplyDelete[Review removed due to tired typing making me look derpier than I am. Still, have a great New Year, everypony.]
ReplyDeletehappy new year!LOVE AND TOLERATE!
ReplyDeletethose 2 months of mine being a brony is enough to make this the best year so far ^^,
ReplyDeleteyay!!!! HAPPEH NEW YEAR EVERYBRONY!
ReplyDeleteSometimes its hard to be a brony and tolerate the trolls. That's why I love this site because it reminds me of what we are all about. I also never want to make the scary journey over to 4chan again. O.o
ReplyDeletepizza pony scares me.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Everypony!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year everypony all the best for the new year :D
ReplyDeleteI remember when that Pizza Pony pic first showed up at EqD. So far, it's been my favorite OC pony ever. <3 pizza, <3 Pizza Pony.
ReplyDeleteDamn, I just ate, and now I want a pizza. Confound these ponies!
Good, but could be much more in-depth and specific. We must...
ReplyDeleteCompile ALL the DETAILS!!!
Regardless of what anypony thinks about the politics, you can't deny this show has led to a seismic shift in animation and online. Even Hasbro execs say they haven't seen anything like this in 25 years. We're starting something that can't be stopped, that has gone beyond a mere fandom to a philosophy, a way of thinking. That's not an exaggeration. Dare to believe you can change the world, it's OK. Start with one person and let it spread. Just don't force it, let it happen naturally. People want to be kind and happy, they've just forgotten how.
ReplyDelete@Masquerade
ReplyDeleteUnless you get drafted into the Royal Guards and have to fight invading hoards of hydras, cockatrices, dragons, and Diamond Dogs.
@KingKazma1
ReplyDeleteYay! Love and tolerance for all and... *Discord pops up and touches him... Charles turns gray* Bah! Hate and bigotry for everyone! Humbug! >:C
@shadowfalcon76
ReplyDelete*munches on Pizza Pony* Mmmmm... cheesy pony goodness.
*Pizza Pony pleads for help!* HE'S EATING ME ALIVE!! D:
This has been one hell of a year for us, and here's to many more!
ReplyDeleteVegetable pony is best pony.
ReplyDeleteI love this guy. Can I marry him?
ReplyDeleteWait, under his brony breakdown ideas he has NO SHIPPING under fan ficion. Wasn't it already proven in a recent poll that shipping was one of the most popular aspects of MLP fan fiction?
ReplyDeleteThat was pretty entertaining, even if it did gloss over things. Good show sir, good show.
ReplyDeleteCongratualtions on making the New Years without dying out the fandom Bronies! Despite our recent setbacks by the mainstream media and ignorant individuals, we have become very strong. Just think of this, what new coming bronies in 2012 will see in just 1 year.
ReplyDelete1. Fallout Equestria: One of the longest and most liked fanfics of the fandom.
2. Almost 300 Drawfriends and a endless amount of comics for new artists to get ideas.
3. A countless number of fanfics, not even half of them are shown in this 1 site.
4. Videos of people making wonderful music, music videos, and spreading the word through the silliest and even suicidal ways. (A guy on a unicycle down a highway playing a ukelele singing giggle at the ghostlies, NO FEAR)
5. Every single episode can be gotten from YouTube, I think... Unless Hasbro took action.
The point is, we did in 1 year which usually takes fandoms 3-4 years!
Piiizzzzaaaaa!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Brony Community, may there be many more
ReplyDeletewho's Sethisto Stole Trixie's Magic Lol??!?!?
ReplyDeletePizza pony you look so tasty. Being slighty new to the fandom (1-2 months now I think) I just got to say it's been amazing to see the creativity and passion of all the bronies in the community and it is something that I am very proud to be part of :) *raises glass* onwards to the new year my fellow bronies
ReplyDeleteSeems to sum it up pretty well.
ReplyDeleteSome of these statements sounded like mockery after the situation with PonyArchive. You know, when 98% community has just flipped off their former friends on the first sign of trouble :)
ReplyDeleteIf we want to make this fandom really great, we must figure out how to do things together, not only enjoy projects done by individuals. PonyArchive was a failed test. No actions towards convincing Hasbro to create a reasonable system of distribution of episodes seem to be another total fail, a walkover this time (I don't count tiny petitions for local communities like the one in UK).
THIS .. is why love this fandom.. all that Christ tought us
ReplyDeleteLOVE and TOLERATE
and suddenly, life get's better every day :D
The guy narrarating the video is exaggerating. He makes it sound like this show is having a profound impact on society itself, which definitely isn't the case. Sure, it spawned memes that kind of spread to bits of the English parts on the Internet, but I could still walk around a high school and ask anyone if they're aware of the show and only like 10% of the people would know what I'm talking about. The only reason why we think it's everywhere is because we only go on sites related to it. This show still isn't as nearly widespread as many of the memes of the past. Sure, it made "meme of the year", but it's not like it was a good year for memes anyways.
ReplyDeleteMy point is that this guy is blowing the effect this show out of proportion. He's being as dramatic as a furry.
@Maquabra Just stop. PonyArchive only brought that reaction on by themselves by acting in a childish and impudent. If people TRULY want the fandom to stop getting a bad rap. It's to stop taking everything so seriously. It was something that was never a problem when it started out but gradually people have taken things so much to heart and it really is a shame.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to support someone if they start taking things too seriously like PA did with their repsonse.
And another thing is that the Kibosh on the "love and tolerate" motto for the fandom. And get it back to it's orignal purpose as an effective counter trolling measure in internet interactions around the net. I'm not saying that is an excuse to act antagonistic towards others but rather. Using the tactic properly.
But I digress.
Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteMay 2012 be more epic!
New album coming soon by Donn Devore, A Must Have!!! Ponydonn - A Year in Equestria
