Time to dive into fringe of pony history. Many of you probably have no idea what this is, but quite a few of you have emailed recently requesting we talk about it due to it's sudden return after 4 years of silence and the huge amount of early pony-goers involved in it.
As many of you have probably gathered from my various editorials over the years talking about the history of pony as a whole, a majority of the earliest of the pony fandom spawned on a website called 4chan. As always, I would recommend not wandering over there if you aren't aware of what it is, but it's important to mention for the sake of this post. Buried in the wild west of the internet, where image macros were completely dominated by ponies until banned, there was a call to "troll" a certain, loud, blustering capitalist who hosted a radio show on Blogtalk Radio. Usually we'd look down on something like that now days, but Ghost, the host, decided to just run with it.
Head on down below the break for the history of ponies, and their interaction with the man they call... GHOST.
