You guys have to get rid of the one-hour posting limit Anonymous 04/16/2025 (Wed) 05:14:42 Id:32eba6 No. 652 [Reply] [Last]

It's unfair to NEETs like me who have nothing better to do than post ponies all the time! (in all seriousness though, if /mlp/ really is gone for a while or potentially for good it's probably just a good idea in general what with all this new traffic)

>>668 Is there a way for some faggots with expendable income to donate to assist with the extra server load?

mys_elf Board owner 04/18/2025 (Fri) 19:54:57 Id:79f498 No. 734

>>733 Not currently. I think we are handling okay with the current setup.

Anonymous 04/18/2025 (Fri) 22:07:28 Id:49f6d5 No. 736

>>734 Well, I would consider it in the future is site traffic stays up and doesn't dwindle. It would be nice to have higher file size limits. If it's a worthwhile endeavor people don't got a problem giving money. a couple 10 dollars a month goes a long way in the world of small server hosing.

>>652 What is this bypass thing? Why can't I post? I'm sorry for asking to be spoonfed, but I've had a long day of everything going wrong.

mys_elf Board owner 04/22/2025 (Tue) 02:54:55 Id:79f498 No. 756

>>751 The bypass, in part, is an alternative to having a captcha on every post. Once you've used up the number of posts per bypass (or the bypass has expired) you will need to complete a new one. If you are having issues, you can delete your bypass cookie and you will be prompted for a new bypass on your next post.

How do I search for posts instead of just OP's? Also, is it possible to keep the watched threads window always open?

mys_elf Board owner 04/22/2025 (Tue) 02:51:41 Id:2f5bce No. 755

>>750 There is not a global site search. Currently the thread watcher will close when you leave the thread, unless you use the side catalog.

do dragons fall into gr2? Anonymous 04/18/2025 (Fri) 01:13:20 Id:5a7e09 No. 718 [Reply]

A quick question regarding GR2 Anonymous 04/16/2025 (Wed) 21:45:53 Id:6daff0 No. 676 [Reply]

I understand that posting images that violate GR2 is a no-go. But I see that NSFW greentexts are allowed in /fim/. So, my question is, is posting an off-site link of an image, such as booru link or catbox moe link, that would be against GR2, allowed? i.e. posting a catbox moe link for a NSFW art delivery for a draw thread in /fim/?

mys_elf Board owner 04/17/2025 (Thu) 01:12:10 Id:47124c No. 684

>>676 It is fine to post off site links to explicit content on /fim/, though ideally alert Anons that the link contents are explicit.

Anonymous 04/17/2025 (Thu) 11:00:54 Id:06da02 No. 695

>>684 >alert Anons that the link contents are explicit If it's a pony booru link then I think it's a bit excessive since boorus spoiler explicit stuff by default.

mys_elf Board owner 04/18/2025 (Fri) 03:57:27 Id:47124c No. 722

>>695 It's not a hard rule, just a suggestion. I'm sure the context would probably answer the question for many.

At what point is shitposting considered bad enough to get a warn/ban? Anonymous 04/18/2025 (Fri) 01:03:02 Id:c8dc4f No. 715 [Reply]

Open Pony: /mlp/'s Second life Pony thread Anonymous 04/15/2025 (Tue) 22:31:34 Id:6de6cc No. 638 [Reply] [Last]

Similar to the gmod thread, looking to see if the Open Pony General thread would be allowed here, if temporarily. The thread is about the Open Pony, a free 3d Pony model based off of the G4 design and used as an Avatar in Second Life. Second Life is a sandbox game that /mlp/ has made its own space within which generates a lot of content. Thread discussion is often directly related to pony content creation, posting of said pony content, and general pony silliness. The pony themed /mlp/ sim is known as Baltimare and bans anthro/human/non-pony avatars (minor exception being Anon) and filters out those who don't use the boards or watch the show. Knowing the rules on this site, links to various groups and such can be removed from the thread op in order to comply with board rules. /opg/ reached their 501st thread before the happening went down and can all be found in the desuarchive.

In the recent event in /mlp/... Anonymous 02/22/2022 (Tue) 06:36:39 Id:dc5249 No. 361 [Reply] [Last]

...I need some answers. 1) What is policy about pride flags? About trannies? Is any critique about trannies deleted? 2) What is policy about Alicorn Twilight? Anonfilly? Diamond Dogs/Teenage Dragons/Parrots (2017 movie)/Abyssinians? Yaks/Nu-changelings/etc? G1, G2, G3, G5? Filly Funtasia? Them's Fightin' Herds? Now that /mlp/ has fallen to PC/LGBT agenda, I'm evaluating potential replacement for us, and if nhnb can be one, or it's just empty place where nothing can be discussed.

>>380 The second image is pretty interesting I've been thinking about whether or not there are organized groups conspiring to ruin /mlp/ a lot recently. It's a very attractive idea but I don't know I find it hard to believe more than 2 or 3 people could be that autistic at once without reality imploding What's been bothering me is the recent influx of /soc/ threads where people (half of them being self-proclaimed """women""") blog about their personal lives without even bothering to make the OP post MLP related, but that might be explained by a lot of the new blood being from twitter and twitter-adjacent backgrounds where that stuff is more common

>>476 The webm thread would be the only ones using a bigger file size limit, and using smutty.horse for most of the files would undoubtedly kill the threads

Anonymous 01/28/2023 (Sat) 17:51:07 Id:bb8f47 No. 478

>>477 Most video files are poorly optimized and could be compressed a lot without a perceptible difference in quality. It's too bad there is no easy to use open source software for making them smaller.

mys_elf Board owner 01/28/2023 (Sat) 21:27:40 Id:781790 No. 479

>>478 I typically use the following ffmpeg options to make webms:


ffmpeg -i "in.mp4" -c:v libvpx-vp9 -vbr on -crf 25 -b:v 0 "out.webm"

Can add -an if you need to strip the audio and increase the crf if you need a smaller file at the expense of quality.

Anonymous 04/16/2025 (Wed) 22:00:50 Id:251fd8 No. 677

Can the file limit for /fim/ be reconsidered? 6mb is much nicer. I wouldnt mind losing the ability to post 2 files in a single post if i could post a single 6mb vid. I encoded my stuff considering the /wsg/ limits pls understand

mys_elf Board owner 04/17/2025 (Thu) 01:13:55 Id:4c8994 No. 685

>>677 Apologies, but I do not intend to change filesize limits at this time. >>>/clop/ does have a slightly higher limit than >>>/fim/ though.

I want to advertise /mlp/'s gmod server here to see if there's anyone interested on it. I'm not sure if this is permitted in the rules so I apologize if I'm breaking any.

>>633 There is a non-zero amount of lust but because, again, most anons are playing as ponies, a lot - I would say the majority even - of the hornyposting is actually about mare avatars. And the "gay" part is just hornyposting about stallion avatars. There is very little IRL hornyposting. Note that some people for example have multiple OCs and any comments will typically target a specific OC, which should be proof it's almost never about the (human) player. This is as compared to the TF2 thread where there are no avatars or ponies, anons just get to know each other on steam and then hornypost about the actual literal human. And to be fair these are the "worst" cases, most of the discussion in both threads is usually just about stuff that goes on in the game, organising shit, events, gameplay commentary, etc. rather than any namefag discussion.

On the topic of games, would it be alright to have just a general gaming thread like the pony gaming threads on /mlp/?
