A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.

All of the usual forum rules apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

In a semi-related note, Princess Molestia translated literally into Latin means "Distinguished Annoyance".

I wonder if it will be mirrored anywhere. It's weird that we have a trope page for something that doesn't exist anymore.

I think they would have been within their rights to get rid of it anyway if Hasbro had gotten around to it themselves anyway.

Calpain has stated they have plans to make a downloadable archive for it.

What's Mr Driller W? Anyway, I just get all my games on Steam.

Mr Driller W is the Wiiware version of the original game. I want to download it just because I really love the PSG-styled characters.

At least the Fighting Is Magic situation was understandable to an extent, but if Hasbro really are the ones that took down the Molestia tumblr, all I'm gonna say is this: Hasbro, please fuck off and go die in a firey pit. JJ wasn't making any money off of his tumblr at all, and if they took it down because of it's content, that just makes them into even bigger hypocrites since they're apparently perfectly okay with the "Banned From Equestria Daily" fangame.[tdown] Next thing you know they'll probably decide to start removing fanfics too for some bullcrap reason.

And if they are actually innocent, then who the heck else could have done this?

Regardless I don't think it's that big of a deal. Nothing, even if it's not monetized, is immune to copyright (Yu Gi Oh Abridged and whatnot). Besides, JJ wanted to let it go anyway, so I'm fine with it.

A Gamer Luna tumblr appeared in its place anyways, so it's all good.

Was it actually Hasbro that had it taken down? Tumblr has been known to take down porn blogs if they're reported, so even though this isn't a porn blog it doesn't surprise me that, if it was reported enough...

As for the event itself, I care so little it's practically a superpower. I understand the argument against the blog, I don't know I agree with it inherently, and my only real opinion is that it's a shame it got taken down now, when it had mostly crossed over to being Gamer Luna, rather than when it was, you know, actually about Molestia. But eh.

That's not exactly unheard of, there's quite a ffew fic trope pages where the story itself was deleted or pulled and is lostForever.

Tumblr already took it down once because people complained, and the backlash from that hit them hard enough, it was up in less then a day again.

Mostly seems JJ just got tired of dealing with it.

I think it's more likely to be haters of the blog. There are an awful lot of NSFW pony tumblrs out there. It seems odd that Hasbro would single out one to takedown.

[up][up] Can't say I blame him.

My knowledge on copyright laws are limited so don't take my word for it, but: I think Hasbro is legally within their right to pull any and all fanworks of their I Ps, but usually turn a blind eye to it (like most companies) unless someone is or has the potential to make a serious profit off it.

But I could be wrong.

Ouch at that news. It wasn't a particularly great blog, but that's still gotta sting a little.

So, gamer luna has her own tumblr now? Awesome!

... fucking backslash key isn't working. not sure why. it's not my computer, because it works fine when I click it. In the preview it's there. in the actual post it's not.

So is this in the cloud now or something? Because Pokemon has always had the pc.

Realize I'm a bit late on this one, but I didn't see anyone mention this, so I'll say it now.

The main thing Pokémon Bank has over just being an extended PC is that you can store Pokémon from any Gen V or later game on your account (a.k.a. anything Pokémon Black and White or later), and for games on the 3DS, withdraw them as well. This way, it essentially acts as a way to transfer Pokémon between games, and it's supposed to be compatible with future any main series Pokémon games.

I think the backslash key cancels out any commands that would normally do something like change font size or whatever so that you can demonstrate how to do something. So if you want to enter a backslash you need a second backslash to cancel the properties of the backslash. Or something like that.

[up][up]Is it just me or is that tumblr completely empty?

Probably just doesn't have any posts done yet. Maybe he's waiting for it to all die down, but wanted to let people know that was still gonna be going on?

Tumblrs tend to be empty when they're first made.

It's a grey area. In practice these things are mostly decided by whether you can afford to hire a lawyer.
