  • This Day in Pony History - October 13th - Pony Ratings Obsession, Attacking Bronies, and More!

    by Sethisto

    Stop obsessing over ratings! Fluttershy demands it! I don't know why we used to report on those. I detail it a bit more below though.


    We also had a bunch of drama surrounding an episode parodying the brony fandom. History arrives! Get it all below.



    2011 

    Music: 8-bit Music Project

     
    Some of these themes are gone from the looks of it like most things, but I thought I'd mention them anyway. They were really popular in the early fandom and ended up being used by a lot of people as actual representation of the characters. I'm sure they are still out there somewhere on an archive.



    2012 

    My Little Pony Mobile Game Information


     

    Derpy and Dash Invading Stores


     

    Daniel Ingram Selling Custom Composing Desk


     
    We started getting our first teasers of the My Little Pony Gameloft game around now, with this full page revealing a bunch of interesting tidbits about it. It's too bad the game is so ridiculously expensive! 

    We also started finally seeing the first round of Funko figures invade stores, with Dashie and Derpy starting it off. 

    And Daniel Ingram sold the desk he composed pony on. I wonder if anyone ended up picking it up from the fandom?


    2013 

    Derpy Po Py Po


     

    26/66 Days of Pony - The Best Night Ever


     

    SFM: Flight School: Day 1



     
    Derpy Derped! Yay Derpy. 

    This 26/66 day of pony editorial was one of the most important. The end of season 1 was so bittersweet for a lot of us, and the episode they left us off with was such a perfect ending to it. No giant cosmic horrors threatening Equestria. No big villains. Just mares dealing with the stress of a party.

    And finally, Nutrafin was one of those early SFM animators, and this was a cute one.


    2014 

    The Final Moments of The Hub Recorded


     

    Comic: Maud Pie Reviews Rainbow Rocks / Love / Treasure Hunters / Only a Game



    The hub officially ended, and someone recorded its final moments. I've already talked about them a bunch in these posts though, so have some Maud Pie being silly.


    2015 

    Ratings As Explained By Big Jim


     
    Honestly, Friendship is Magic ratings were always kind of a silly thing we followed in the early days. The show was on a single network on an exclusive cable package that wasn't even available everywhere while most just watched the 1080p rips produced by various recorders in the fandom. It was always a horrible metric to judge its success. 

    In the end, we got 9 seasons. An unsuccessful show doesn't get 9 seasons.


    2016 

    My Little Pony Puzzle Party Officially Released


     

    Ponified "Love Letters" Card Game


     
    Puzzling pony parties and a ponified fan game were released today.



    2017 

    M.A. Larson Explains "Fame and Misfortune" and Its "Attack" on Bronies



     

    Ponyfinder Kickstarter Officially Completes - Final Book "Tactics of Everglow" Released


     
    There were a lot of people that took Fame and Misfortune way too seriously, so M.A. Larson replied. 

    We also had the Tactics of Everglow Ponyfinder book release.


    2018 

    My Little Pony Season 8 Episode 25 & 26 - School Raze - Stream / Discuss


     

    Drawfriend Stuff (Pony Art Gallery) #2768


     
    The school was razed today. Also kirins.
