1	[[http://www.ponychan.net/chan/ Ponychan]] is an {{imageboard\|s}} dedicated to the [[PeripheryDemographic wildly popular]] ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''.

3	When Platform/FourChan was overloaded with ponies, many people who didn't care for the show, as well as the {{Hatedom}}, grew tired of seeing ponies all the time. Because it was practically a [[IncrediblyLamePun stampede]], for a short time pony threads and references were even [[TheScottishTrope banned on 4chan]] (and with the advent of its own /mlp/ board for ponies, are once again banned everywhere else on the site.) So they could post pony threads without running into the Hatedom, and so they didn't have to annoy everyone else, and to be in a community with nobody but pony fans, the many fans [[StartMyOwn built their own imageboard]] to discuss ponies to their heart's content.

6	!! This imageboard provides examples of:
7
8	* BerserkButton: Bringing up a certain event from the season 3 finale can cause this with some posters.
9	* ClusterFBomb: Many of the image macros.
10	* DenserAndWackier: /oat/ compared to most of the other boards, unabashedly and even ''proudly'' so.
11	* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: It is a Chan. About Ponies.
12	* {{Foil}}: [[Platform/FourChan /mlp/]] is basically Ponychan crammed into a single board with less moderation and more porn. This often leads to cases of a NotSoDifferentRemark amongst posters that frequent both or are familiar with the atmospheres of both boards. [[BelievingTheirOwnLies The view expressed in this article]] came as an unwelcome surprise to /mlp/, who don't see the relationship in [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling quite the same light]].
13	* GroupHug: Many an internet variant.
14	* InformedObscenity: The word filter does some silly things sometimes, like changing the word 'cancer' into 'candy' (although after a fairly serious thread involving someone who had cancer in RealLife this filter may have been lifted since).
15	%%* InJoke: NEVER [[UnusualEuphemism eat the syrup.]]
16	* LighterAndSofter: To its parent site 4chan and more notably /mlp/.
17	** In its early days, Ponychan was much less light-hearted as well. Especially during the Moderator Drama between late 2011 and early 2012.
18	*** An example of a Retcon in and of itself.
19	** /vinyl/ is this to 4chan's music board, /mu/.
20	%%* {{Retcon}}: "RP was ''never'' allowed on /oat/."
21	* ScunthorpeProblem: The word filter does some silly things sometimes, like changing "Trollop" into "Paraspriteop"
22	* SeriousBusiness: /pony/ is full of debates on various topics about the show.
23	* StartMyOwn: How [[http://stevenmagnet.tymoon.eu/ stevenchan]], [[http://www.getchan.net/ getchan]], [[http://lunachan.net/ lunachan]], [[https://efchan.net/ efchan]], and [[http://mlpchan.net/ mlpchan]] came about. Depending on one's point of view, where they look, or even what time of day, may exhibit a wide-variety of tropes relating to these sites, ranging from SpiritedCompetitor, FriendlyRival, ArchEnemy, FriendlyEnemy, to even EnemyMine.
24	* UnusualEuphemism: Clopping is code for masturbating. This has been replaced with [[Franchise/MassEffect calibrating]].
