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

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!

Believe me, the animation is sort of a demented version of The Powerpuff Girls, combined with the insanity of Excel Saga. It's definitely a very niche show.

It's going to take me a while to get used to Dark's new avatar.

Is it an alright one? I was thinking of changing it.

For a while I didn't even notice it was you posting since it was different from what I was used to.

Huh, apparently the Nunnery was just nuked.

And yet nobody commented when I switched to the Twistare.

As for The Nunnery, official word is:

The Nunnery was nuked because someone reported it to Google, which pulled our ads for a month over it. It is not to be recreated."

Oh shit, its JT! I thought you were some new guy.tongue

Now I'm kind of sad I never popped into the Nunnery just to check it out. Ah well.

Who the hell actually cares enough to report that sort of stuff to Google? I wonder if it was actually someone who was offended or just someone trolling.

Just finished chapter 2 of Bravely Default, and I need to say something. I won't name any names, but still, slight spoilers.

If you're going to kill a character off in this sort of game, at least invent a reason I can't just use Raise or one of my dozen phoenix downs to bring them back. And if you have them just lie there for a while before finally succumbing to their wounds, that also applies to whatever potions or weapons-grade healing magic I have with me. Nothing major, but it just makes me go, "so why can't I just do this, again?"

Never thought I of all tropers would be the last to post there. Pretty sure, I posted about 10 minutes before it happened.

The inability of Raise spells/phoenix downs to revive plot deaths is usually handwaveable by just saying they only work on the very nearly dead, not someone who is actually deceased. Not being able to heal with white magic is pretty inexcusable though.

Well, it's not as uncommon for you to change your avatar, JT.

[up][up]So in other words, there's a difference between 'All Dead' and 'Mostly Dead'?

[down]Well I remember that two years ago you use to have an avatar of a Tiger instead of the pony OC that you use now.

Yeah the justification in a lot of games is that a party member that falls isn't killed, just knocked out.

And yeah when have you all seen me with a different avatar?

Yeah my first one, before I grabbed pony. [up]And no that was just your monitor needing adjusting.

Okay wait a second.

Why would anyone report the nunnery to google?

What does google have to do with it? What does google have to do with Tv Tropes?

Google advertises on tvtropes. If we have content they don't approve of they can pull their ads, leaving tvtropes with no money to keep their servers up. I think that was part of the reason all the sketchier pages like all the fetish fuel stuff got pulled.

I can't wait for the day TV Tropes either switches to a less stringent ad server (that pays well enough to cover the bills), or adopts a new revenue model. Tropes on t-shirts, anyone?

It's not as easy as I'm making it sound, I know.

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

[up][up]They've tried multiple times to figure out alternative revenue streams, but nothing else comes close to pulling in enough revenue to cover the costs of maintaining the site.

basically it's an issue a lot of sites have to deal with, Google being the only real major source of good ad revenue. it's caused some restrictions on Fim Fiction as well.
