Hello, wonderful users of Ponychan! Nimble Wing here. In case you haven't already heard from some unofficial source, which I hope you haven't, I'm going to be serving as the site's !!Pinkie Pie from this point on. Specifically, I'll be tasked with taking !!Spitfire's place as the mod of /rp/ and /ooc/. (!!Spitfire is now !!Twilight, and is handling general site moderation. I seem to have confused some people; Astra's not stepping down.) Those two boards have become a large part of the reason I stay here, so I'm grateful that I have the chance to help keep them happy and running! This does, of course, mean that Artee will be stepping down as a moderator. I believe that he’s done an absolutely wonderful job of being a mod, and I’m honored that he believes I would be a good replacement. I’ve got some big shoes to fill. It’s not my place to try and explain reasons, though, so I won’t be delving into that.

Now, some of you guys might recognize me, but I'm certain that many of you do not. I came to Ponychan shortly after I was introduced to FiM way back when in mid-late 2011. After hopping between boards a bit, I ended up making my home on /oat/. And that's where I stayed for a while. I posted quite a lot back then, so any of you back in that era might know me. After the big drama-fest following the old /oat/ crackdowns, though, I ended up moving on over to /rp/. It's been my main board ever since! I’ve also been the one updating and maintaining the site’s FAQ and Contact Us pages for a good while now, so maybe you recognize me from that. Or something. I dunno. I DO THINGS, OKAY?

For those who don't know me, I usually just go by Nimble Wing (Element of Flight) !SonicFbkn. when I post. Depending on moods and RPs, I'll sometimes use the names Jewel (Officer of the Orion) !wahaHAqNBY or Orion "Star Hunter" !Space0GGSs. My main name will always be Nimble Wing, though, and I always keep my email on my posts. I’m most likely going to become more active now that I’ve got a bigger role on the site, so maybe that’ll help with… stuff. I believe that people would be more comfortable with me as a mod if they, you know, kinda knew me. Maybe. I hope.

I’ll certainly do my best to try and make a good mod, and I want all of you guys to let me know if I’m doing anything wrong! Here’s to a wonderful future here on Ponychan, and hopefully a decent span of time before I lose what’s left of my sanity looking over you crazy ponies!

It didn't begin that way. People started to find out that some posters were using the same images as the mods, thus leading them to the conclusion that they were that mod.

There's a chance we could have! I try to play it at least once a day. I'd be more than happy to play with you.

>>160857
Yes, we did! It was a good while back, though. I think it had something to do with the old /oat/ Steam group that Astra created in early 2012. (Or late 2011? Somewhere around there.)

>It's the point of mods like !!DaringDo and !!PinkiePie.
Having a different mod tag doesn't mean you have a different job or role from the other mods. We all have to do our jobs. Being !!Pinkie just means I can be silly when I use my tag and still be in character!

Rename /oat/ to /party/ and throw /chat/ into the mix.

Nothing could possibly go wrong.

This is precisely is what is going to go down:

> Everyone cheers on Nimble, hoping he'd do a good job.
> Nimble does something controversial.
> Ponychan panics and raises le pitchforks at Nimble.

It's happened before, it will happen it him. God, I fucking hate Ponychan sometimes, this place is a huge circlejerk..

He was? How so? I'm not criticizing your opinion or defending him, I'm just curious
>> No. 160877 ID: 82f2ba
>>160876

i agree with him. artee was on his best days utterly ineffective and on his worst days spontaneous and abrupt. during discussions of most site issues his primary state of being was sitting around and going "on one hand, blah blah blah. on the other hand, blah blah blah. in conclusion i think i will not think about it." it was intensely frustrating to do when other people were attempting to get things done all around him

but what was worse was i saw him do things like delete threads or posts because he was under minor duress from a handful of people regardless of rules and precedents. he seemed to slow down with that later on but seeing that pretty much ever is bad

of course anon may have different reasons, but thats why i think he was p much the worst mod on the site that actually did anything. which isn't saying a lot these days i guess since most of the really really shit mods are gone now.
>> No. 160878 ID: 4309f3
>>160871
Well, that's a difficult one to answer. As it stands, my main RP has been kinda fighting to stay above the water for a while, and so we've been trying to work to bring it back into full swing again. That's been difficult enough, so I'm unsure how I might revive a whole board if I'm having trouble with a single canon.
However, I do agree that it would be great to see the boards picking up again. I'd be more than happy to talk to you about possible ideas to bring it back to life! Once I actually get all settled in and whatnot, it might be my first big project or something.

>>160872
With Pinkie at the head, I'm sure everyone will be happy. I've just gotta smile, sing a quick song, bake up some treats, and I'm sure I could pull off an /oat/-/pony/-/chat/ merger with no drama!*
(*results may vary)

>>160873
If you're in a position of responsibility and there's nobody upset with you, you're probably doing something wrong. Mods can't be on the side of the users all the time, so of course they'll get mad at us every now and again. But hey, the site's still here, and the users aren't constantly at war with the mods. (Or, at least, not openly.) If I end up becoming an eventual target, I'll take the anger as best I can and explain my position. It's a bridge to cross if/when we come to it.

We love you, Artee. Please don't leave.

And personally while I feel the criticism Marceline gave holds weight, you were nonetheless the most active mod of them all, despite it being a volunteer job. Not to mention you were probably the best mod to hold the !!PinkiePie tag to date.

also, i thought artee was a decent mod tbh. yeah, there was a few times when he was a incompetent. not even gonna lie

but he knows when enough was enough. he wasnt too damn anal with everything too. which was nice.

you know that he does it for free maymay

yeah, i wouldnt be going super srs mode as a mod myself for free

but i would put enough effort to help out anyway i can.

It's a possibility, but it's not a guarantee, and that's no reason we shouldn't send some good wishes that it doesn't happen.

There's a few fair criticisms of you as a mod, but you weren't really all that bad, and I'm glad you're finally able to step down and rest like you wanted.

More importantly, though, I do really like you as a poster and hope you stay around. You bring a lot to the board and people enjoy your company.

Not that I can think of. There is a heavy trend, though. I guess let history be a reminder that you should always double check your actions and be prepared to face criticism and possibly repeal them when necessary.
