true but MLP seems to come up very often and its to the point that whenever I look to the right under Latest Content and Most Popular, I see something about MLP. I don't even come on this site that often and yet like clock work, I see at least one thread about it. Enough already, I get it that you like it. I'm past the point of being weirded out and now I'm just annoyed that it keeps coming up.
go to this link and then "sod off"Kitsuna10060 said:-.- hence the suggestions, or did you miss that partVolf99 said:

I've got a better idea, stop creating threads that say the same shit.(not on about this thread, this one is actually something completely different)
Its the main reason why people are getting pissy at threads regarding MLP. Most the topics created have been roughly the same:
Who likes MLP?
Why all the hate for MLP?
Any bronies here?
Those have essentially been what the majority of the threads regarding MLP have been about.
Also stop calling yourselves bronies, that will also probably help.

Who is your favourite pony?
It's a very important thread. Serious business going on in those.
Is it just me or are 'Bronies' turning into the new 'Furries' in terms of whiny annoyance on the internet?
I can't wait for the dumbest members of that exclusive club proclaiming their wish for being considered as a new species (though their alienating behaviour sure helps their case)
As people have mentioned, this is not a MLP fan site, but a gaming/geek culture site and while I agree that a lot of geeks go bonkers over MLP (and yeah, I'll even admit it's fun and that I'm watching it), there are people who do not like a series geared towards young girls and being a grown-up means that you have to deal with them in one way or another, just like all other community members.
But really, flame wars always need two sides. If your sub-community isn't able to ignore trolls and decide that they need to react to every single provocation and give attention-seeking whores another boner, then I can't help but seek fault within the bronies. Still, this is true for all fanboys so don't take personally.

Seeing the size of our group there should be more of them.
I do wonder, would people still get annoyed if we we're to post threads about the show instead of the regular.
'Who Likes MLP'
'Why do people hate MLP?'
Maybe a forum section? Or atleast a damn sticky about the group and how people get all whiny when you make a thread about it.
Even if there is only a Bronie flood like once every two weeks.

ah, i miss-read, i saw it as 'just don't post' sorrySober Thal said:
the issue with keeping it 'in group' is the flow of chat, it pretty much imposable to fully keep up with, like ever, due to the sheer number of people, think crowed room, and every ones talking at once. donno about you but i can't ever keep up with that
yeah :/ there's that to, i've had a few ideas, but not posted cause frankly i want to see real answers not people being pissed the show exsistsEl Luck said:
And here I assumed that all the MLP threads were just a veiled excuse to spam pithy pictures and memes.
But you actually want to reduce the number of MLP/Brony threads in general discussion?
At least that shows maturity. Go for it.
In-jokes and memes aren't funny when they've become overdone.

ye got a point about the the treads being the same, but that because idiots don't use the scearch bar....El Luck said:
also bronies is rather nice name, I like it, and others do too.
Ding ding ding. This here is the million dollar question folks.Gennadios said:
I'm 100% sure there are sites by now that are completely dedicated to all your pony discussion needs that AREN'T this one. If you still like this site, JUST USE BOTH. This isn't rocket science guys, as a minority of the Escapist community, albeit a whiny one (with some exceptions) you aren't going to make any changes here. Just find another site to talk about ponies on and while visiting this site for everything NOT related to ponies.
EDIT: It took me all of 20 seconds to find you a god damn site to migrate to.

if you hadn't missed the point to start with i wouldn't have been hostile.TestECull said:
'just don't post' is NOT acceptable, at all, regardless of the reason(so long as it doesn't violate the ToS for the forums) another thing, I will never ok with some one telling me to not do something based solely on THEM not liking it. I couldn't care less what you like or don't like until you get in MY face about not liking something I do.
also, have you considered just not clicking the link to the thing you don't like as starting something? just a thought
