This site's traffic has exploded over the past two weeks, and things haven't been very organized. So over the next few days, there's going to be a major overhaul of how the site is run -- we'll be addings FAQs, writing the unwritten rules, posting stickies, adding boards, etc.

So if you have any ideas for the site, now's the best time to talk about them. Any discussion is welcome.

Current ideas include:
- adding boards (toys, projects, games, any others?)
- making more themes (a Rainbow theme is long overdue)
- what else?

personally I wouldn't use an irc channel for "/b/ronies" just because I don't like being associated with /b/, also I think it would be better to have one for this site so we wouldn't have to feel associated with only the /b/ or /co/ communities, when I go to 4chan I actually don't go to either of those places, I actually found out about the whole pony thing from a freind.

This is the board for discussing the site, suggesting new boards/features, or complaining. Ya know, just in case anybody cares how I run things around here.
>> No. 117
Also, I made a separate board for discussing other sites.

That will make it easier for me to focus on stuff I can actually do something about.

I noticed the site is open for donations now.
I'd just like to ask the admins; what will become of the site if you don't get enough donations?

Either way, I'll see if I can donate something within the coming days.

I've kinda badmouthed our host even though they're not a bad company, so I'd rather not say.

But the new host will probably be one of the following: WebFaction, A Small Orange, Laughing Squid, DreamHost, Liquid Web, or SliceHost. I'm still sorting through the details before I decide.

Even if the merger between our 2 chans is only at its beginning we can't have you going down yet.

What would you guys think of merging with http://fim.413chan.net/? This other pony-centric chan has been around for a little longer and it's also where /co/'s extensive archives of pony threads are hosted. I think it would benefit the mlp fandom if these two imageboards were merged, because right now traffic is split between the two of them.

can we get that turned into a watch or something?

i mean really. thats kind of epic.

I'd love to see a merger happen. I think it's important to keep the whole community as close together as possible. Not to mention, it would be a real sign of FRIENDSHIP, and that's what we're striving for, aren't we?
>> No. 638
Honestly, I feel dividing a fan/userbase is a bad idea. MLP is huge right now, and can keep both boards alive and thriving, but that might not be so in the future, and division will hasten the death of this weird little corner of fandom I've come to enjoy so much. Both sites have their strengths and weaknesses, and each has different specific boards that are great fun and may or may not even overlap. I'd rather see all of the content, and all of the bronies in one place.

Could I get a list of all the wordfilters? The only one I know is e.a.r.t.h filtering to Earth.

Ah, okay. Personally I've seen at least a few instances now where the wordfilter for "the/w/or/ld" or "w/or/ld" have made a post somewhat awkward to read.

So, I submit to the Admin that we lift the filter on those, but place the 'Equestria' filter onto 'earth' specifically. After all, the w/or/ld of ponies doesn't have to be referred to by name all the time, does it?

Eh?

Why are some thumbnails harder to load than others? and why is it that it that when i click on the thumbnail it says 404?
>> No. 629
There was apparently an accidental .jpg image purge around the 24th of the month, which may explain the 404 error.

(polite sage)

or should i say bronations

yeah that's what I kinda figured
VM hosts only go so well, for so long...
donation drive might be helpful
>> No. 618
Well, I've got hardly any income at the moment, but I was able to chuck some money into the donation bin. 5 bucks ain't much, but if enough other people kick in even that much then I think we can pull through fine.

Hey, does anypony else get this problem when you hit reply on some threads it's just an empty page?

This has been happening a lot to me lately, just the message box and other fields. Hit 'reply' with nothing entered last time it happened. That got me the no text/pic message from witch I backspaced to thread and hit 'f5'. Then suddenly posts!

Also on sometimes run in the no threads on boards. fixed by posting a new thread and deleting it afterwards.

It's happening because the site is over capacity. Nopony was expecting traffic to grow so quickly.

I coded a temporary solution so mods can rebuild individual boards, and I'm aiming to move to a better host within a week. That should keep this from happening again.

Who is your host btw?

I had some suggestions for the faq, which are simply questions I want to ask since I can't find an email to ask you directly.

1) what words are wordfiltered ('b0dy' to 'pony' is the only one I know), what do they all filter to, and are there any that can get you banned?

2) Are you able to accept donations of money/computer hardware?

3) What's the length of time for the spam filter?

Also, as I noticed the 'noko' thing works, could you set it up so it stays in the email field once we return to the thread?

Another idea I had was perhaps a 'post successful' screen that says something like 'Friendship is magic!' or whatever.

I can't think of anything else. I'll come back when I do!

it's because kusaba x is borked
>> No. 602
I might as well answer them right here.

1. I can't reveal that info. But there aren't any words that can get you banned (besides the default list that comes with Kusaba, containing prescription drug sites and such)

2. Any donations would be much appreciated. There are details on the front page. All the site issues we've been having are because we're over capacity. Once we move to a better host, these issues will go away.

3. I probably shouldn't say this, either. But there's really nothing anypony should worry about in the spam filter.

>>589
It's because, again, we're over capacity. It happens when a post is successful, but the database connection is lost before rebuilding the HTML. It shouldn't happen anymore once we're migrated to the new host.

Huh! I didn't know there were default ones for sites. Then again, I don't think I've ever been to a prescription drug site, so I'm ok there. ☺

>2. Any donations would be much appreciated. There are details on the front page. All the site issues we've been having are because we're over capacity. Once we move to a better host, these issues will go away.

Oh, man, with the purging of 4chan I have a feeling it's gonna get a lot more crowded around here! I'm guessing you need more monetary support than hardware support, so I'll see if there's anything I can do in the future (I'm unemployed currently,feelsbadman).

>I probably shouldn't say this, either. But there's really nothing anypony should worry about in the spam filter.

I don't think ponychan is popular enough to warrant captcha yet, but as long as I'm not running into flood detection errors, I'll be happy.

>It happens when a post is successful, but the database connection is lost before rebuilding the HTML.

Oh, ok, as long as the post is successful then everything is good. I was worried maybe something was broken.

if you go to http://photofunia.com/ or http://www.magmypic.com/ you can make a new pic of your own with pics you already have. It's not entirely OC, but it's really fun and you can make some cool images!
