    New Pony Chess Pieces

    More of those custom made pony chess pieces have popped up! Check 'em out here.

    Brony@Home

    Even more copypasta!

    Well, with the ranks of the top 200 in sight, the Brony@Home team has come a long way since its beginnings half a year ago, but as always, we are looking for more members to join the ranks. Of course, being in the team is simple, and absolutely no work beyond a few minutes of setting up is required, but if you are looking to socialise or discuss, we have our Brony@Home discussion threads and general MLP forum.

    A little bit of news for you folks who are interested: Work has been underway recently on a basic website that will provide information on Folding@Home, Brony@Home, stats, plus a few other goodies, including an online based IRC for those that want to participate in general discussions, or perhaps have issues getting the program to work. Hopefully the site should be operational in the near future, so keep an eye out for the web address.

    I have been asked a few times about whether or not another competition will happen anytime soon, and for those who are curious, nothing is set in stone, but I would definitely love to get another competition up and running in the next few months, this time with even better prizes than last time. In fact, last time, I almost got a pretty great flutterplush, but sadly, due to time constraints, the donator had to pull out. It was a nice gesture, either way. I will be pushing to get at least one for a prize this time around.

    So whether you have an old Pentium, a mid range rig, or a beast that pumps graphics so hard that you'll be convulsing on the floor, join our team, and keep an eye out for more information on our future site and competition! And as before, you don't need a good computer to win a prize!


    Pony URL Shortener and Contest

    Delicious copypasta.

    http://www.ponytopia.net, a Chat based MLP-RP Website has launched a URL Shortener: http://pwny.at/shorten.html
    It has an API and works free of charge and/or ads.

    Further we have a Contest running for Writers or Artists who can win stuff from Welovefine, Sponsored by our Member Cobalt. Details here: http://forum.ponytopia.net/thread-48.html

    Last but not least we try to ease the Pony withdrawal with 'Episodes' that Users can choose. The chosen Episode will then be put up as an RP event, like the Upcoming "The old Switcharoo", where Ponies get their bodies switched around, starting on the 26th of May. Participating users will be surprised with how the Episode will play out. At least we hope so.

     Orlando, Florida


    On May 5th 2012, during a weekend that saw box office records getting broken, another group had an assembly of their own as the Central Florida Bronies held their version of the Summer Sun Celebration at the Ultimate Power and Martial Arts Fitness Center in Orlando, Florida!

    With special custom-made rubber bracelets being handed out, this even marked the first time that the stars of "The Vinyl Scratch Tapes: The Master Recording" in Vicki Spence and Hannah Kashmar were live together for the first time ever! Among the special events taking place this day were the first public demos of "My Little Investigations" and "Welcome to Ponyville!" There was also a quiz show, a Nerf war, and a rave to dance the night away!

    This once in a lifetime event was surely the greatest gathering of the Central Florida Bronies to date! Only question remains is can it be outdone? Only time and money will tell...

     Supercon

    Some friends and I are doing a Brony Meetup at Supercon (http://www.floridasupercon.com/) in Miami. Anyone who wishes to attend will have to buy a pass to the convention, but it's great fun regardless! We're unsure of the actual date yet, since we haven't been given it, but we will be at the convention all three days. The event will be for bronies (and curious non-bronies) of all ages. We're planning on hosting a small selection of Pony themed games and having prizes (such as artwork, crafts, blind bags, etc) for the winners. Also worth noting, anyone who RSVPs with me (lazybutt@derpymail.org) and shows up will get a free personalized pony badge drawn by yours truly.
