>Macs don't get viruses, right? right?!
Macs have viruses, I think, just nobody bothers making them for Macs since so few people use them. Linux is effectively virus-proof, though, unless you install it directly to the root yourself.

Macs are still susceptible to malware, which in common day vernacular people do refer to as a virus. Malware is often through java script or other scripting languages and attacks at a browser level, where as the classic virus that people always refer to attack the OS and central registry of Windows. Macs have no central registry. Also, the first classic viruses for a Mac have already circulated.

tl;dr, if it's something gotten from just browsing the Internet, you're likely not protected just by using a Mac.

I believe some time ago there had been a script or program developed so that a user like myself could be alerted to replies in watched threads without actually having to be on the chan.

I, for the life of me, cannot remember what the name of what such a useful tool was.

If any of the mods, and or my fellow users would be generous enough to take their time to show me to it or something similar,I would very much appreciate it.

I'm a local role player you see, but I also have projects to work on and drawing skills to practice. It can become difficult to keep up with everything sometimes.

I have a question for the mods, So at my school we are on a single internet provider and one of my friends had been warned about being banned and his warning had also come up on my screen so it got me thinking, If he gets banned does that mean in turn I get banned since we are on the same network at the school?

You have the same public IP. So, yes.

A little birdie once told me that if you use a proxy because you're on the same IP as a dipshit, you won't get banned for ban evading.

Since people decided to derail the thread and still seemed interested in talking about Sweeties behavior and handling of the situation, I decided I would make a /meta/ thread for them.

Quiet frankly in my personal opinion, the whole situation was handled rather shittly on Sweeties part.

I'm leaving for work after I link this.

And I've just long been a moderator watchdog, to the point of annoyance with quite a few. The rules are the only thing that exist to protect the user base, and rules are a two way road. While they are there for a moderator to use to keep users in line, they are also there to protect us based on knowing what is and isn't appropriate for this site. If I see something that may be broad interpretations or something that could potentially lead to overstepping of bounds, even if it hasn't yet, I tend to take note of it immediately. Maybe it's because I come from a society where that's how common law is formed, but it's the way I operate.

Didnt we cover that pretty damn early in the scheme of the thread? Are we not just beating a dead horse here? We're just bickering for the sake of having something to bicker about at this point

That's something we should have thought of right away, and damned if I still dont feel stupid about that

I must have missed that at some point during the minor derail while I was away from the thread, Since I've just been continuously repeating myself I thought for sure I was being ignored or was waiting on her to actually come talk about it herself.

Test style on this page
Test style on front page

We've had a theme contest recently with a number of great submissions, and were very impressed with the creativity shown by members of our community. However, as a result of adding those new themes, the themes list has now become quite long, and we started to worry about the decisions that users now have to make about using the site.

The themes list seems to force you into choosing one favourite pony, in many cases, and this seemed unfair when most of us enjoy aspects of many of the characters in the show. Additionally, being faced with such a long list of options, new users might be paralysed with indecision, potentially losing valuable time while they had to try out each in turn.

As we discussed how to improve the user experience and renovate the settings experience, we decided that the show itself has already shown us the way. The Mane 6 each form one element of a harmonious whole, and it is only when they come together that they can achieve greatness. The greatest theme would, therefore, be one which incorporated elements from each pony. As this theme would truly invoke the spirit of Friendship is Magic, others would become superfluous. Therefore, from tomorrow we will remove all the other themes and replace them with the new Mane 6 theme, which you can preview using the links on this post.

We'd like to thank everyone who has contributed themes in the past, but we're sure that everyone will agree that the new theme will surpass everything we have had before. Try it out - we're sure you'll love it. And remember, we'll be changing your theme to this one just after the end of April 1st.

I have some serious constructive criticism for your mandatory theme. There is a large amount of clashing colors, I see no colors that show tribute to best pony Rarity (the textbox white doesn't count), and furthermore according to the Brony Census Applejack is a background character and Luna is the real sixth member of the mane cast, so I demand that orange be replaced with midnight blue.

I'm not even joking about that last one, Applejack really ranked 7th as favorite pony and I believe Luna scored second place so yeah, Applejack is a background pony.

Love you everypony. Happy April Fools. Sorry AJ.

It's marvellous!

But it needs a bit of more purple and white.. It's just as if "best pony" isn't represented nearly enough.

This is probably an old issue, but when you click the ponychan (www.ponychan.net) link on google it leads to a 403 page, of course ponychan.net/chan works, perhaps there should be some redirect when you hit that page so people don't think the site is down when they click the google link

Some of the folks on the moderator team may have noticed the kind of images I post in /chat/ and /gala/ as of the last few months. I've gone over the rules regarding what is appropriate to post on Ponychan and have since felt very confident that I have not been breaking any rules; and I am still confident in this based on how the rules are worded and the examples that are given. However, today I have been given a warning ban for two of my posts from one moderator, despite the fact that I regularly interact with other moderators on the team with those very same images that I have been banned over. Thankfully this was a short warning ban, but I would like to avoid this happening again in the future as I seem to be getting a mixed message from this.

Therefor, I propose that some sort of consensus be made among the moderator team in regard to what kinds of images would be deemed appropriate or that you amend your rules in regards to appropriate images in order to avoid confusion in the future. I do not wish to cause any trouble for the site or the moderator team, I simply wish for a more consistent judgement in regards to what images I am allowed to post.

You see the mons pubis so massive camel toe. It takes on the shape of the genitalia minus labia so can even be more offensive to some because it makes it look underage (I have encountered it).

Areolas are also bad.

Greetings, Ponychan. I'd like to speak with your admin, if he has a moment. I'm a representative of the United Chans, an organization whose purpose is to better the relations between chans. Right now we consist of Equestrachan, GETchan, Lunachan, and MLPchan, and we wish for Ponychan to join us in our mission. The website for the United Chans is nearly complete, so we've been trying to get all the support we can from different chans. The website will have things such as interchan events that users of different chans can participate in, articles on each of the chans, flags and emblems, and more. Nothing is required from you, except for your admin to agree on Ponychan becoming a member. Unless, that is, you would like to do something more, then feel free. It would be wonderful if Ponychan would like a spot in our roster. How does this sound?

No need to worry. GETchan has been split into two chans and the original GETchan still has some file issues, but we're back. Once we fix our file issues, it will be right back to working on the UC.

But it's not like this is just a GETchan thing. It's a joint project, so people from other chans were working on it while we were down.
