Description

So I heard about an upcoming episode. It’s another bad episode in which the mentally-deranged Glimmer gets butthurt about her boyfriend spending time with other girls, so in typical psychotic bitch fashion, she decides she deserves to have him and have her wants satisfied more than he deserves agency. So she tries a goddamn age-regression spell on the guy. And she gets away with this, instead of going to Tartarus, or following Applejack behind her barn.
 
This leaked episode… I’d call this creepy, I’d call this shocking, I’d say this belongs in a bad darkfic and not the show I once loved, I’d wonder if the writer hated Glimmer or loved him so much he was blind to her faults just like her other fans, but this is just too good. This is just too good! Except it isn’t, it’s shit, and I can’t stop laughing! What a fucking amazing seventh anniversary for the brony fandom, eh? Turns out everyone who said the S-word (Seasonal Rot) was right. Now’s the part where I’m called a “Doompauler”, right?
 
Ah, well. I guess the leader of the Glimmer Internet Defense Force, is going to attack me now, along with whatever losers were free this sunday night and whatever moderators he sucked off. Maybe he’ll edit my tags, shit in my comments section, play damage control for his waifu, and generally make an ass of himself while telling me he thinks I’m the faggot for not liking his waifu. Ah, well, it doesn’t matter. I spend my days having fun with my friends (We gather for “Laugh at nu-MLP” night every so often, but we have our own stuff too), and he spends his days getting butthurt over people not liking his waifu as much as him. My mocking “Op is-sniff-Op is a duck!” tags are probably going to be edited and vandalized, too.
 
Anyone else miss the days when this show was optimistic, lighthearted, and fun? About good characters you’d like spending time with? Anyone else miss the days when this show was good? Even the Mentally Advanced Series guy, who makes money from satirizing the show, couldn’t keep it up when the modern show was just so fundamentally broken.
 
They’re currently crying on /mlp/ because Sunburst is “Stealing their waifu” (Jesus christ, was I ever a part of this fandom? Were they ever a part of the fandom I left?) so it might take them a while to wipe the tears from their eyes and get here for their usual hugboxbooru patrols.

Honestly I truly do pity him, just how miserable does your life have to be that you’d spend so much time spreading nothing but hatred and toxicity? When it comes to people who are just filled with nothing but hate and toxicity I find it hard to not feel pity for them… Is that weird?

I know that this pretty late but the fact that this op does nothing but bash starlight and her fans is just well…

Anyway, what really happened was that Ponibooru did indeed have some issues with moderation (namely their lack thereof), but the biggest issue was performance. The engine they were using (Shimmie, I believe) was not really optimized to handle the kinda traffic Ponibooru got, so the site would frequently crash and go down, and loading times in excess of a full minute were not uncommon when it was up.
Clover created “Booru-on-Rails” mostly as a proof of concept of a highly scalable Ruby-on-Rails based Booru engine, designed to handle the kinda load Ponibooru was seeing. The original intent was that the code would be offered to Ponibooru to use. However, they did not want the code. Clover almost shutdown the Booru-on-Rails test site (Derpibooru), but The Smiling Pony decided to keep it running mostly as his personal Trixie picture archive (seriously).
Ponibooru contacted Clover and TSP later letting them know that they were gonna shut down in a few months, and then decided to go read-only the very next day, sending a huge influx of Traffic to Derpibooru, which was then running on a cheap Linode virtual server. It had a really rough first few days, but things stabilized quickly enough and the rest is known history.
Also, the “initial commit” which signified the creation of the site’s code was on December 18th, 2011. And it’s my understanding that there were a few test instances that were created and destroyed before the “permanent” instance of Derpibooru was launched on January 2nd, 2012.
 
At some point we’ll have to make a dedicated page for this, the history has appeared in way too many comments and threads.

You rekt yourself, friend. There’s nothing anyone could say to or about you as damning as what you’ve written yourself in the description.
Pathetic.
By the way, how did you become a site administrator?
He runs the site. If i’m not mistaken, he’s the founder of derpibooru.
 
The Frowning Pony has only been a member for a bit less than 5 years. Isn’t the website older than that?
Trötter Dämmerung

I’m not going to waste much time on the description, except to ask if there’s ever been a time when “waifu stealing” wasn’t tongue-in-cheek.  
Anyhow, I first saw this episode with several hundred other people at Ponyville Ciderfest this past Saturday (because of the nature of the panel and the fact that it was immediately followed by a script reading, no recording was allowed), and there were a lot more groans over Sunburt’s cluelessness than anything this guy made up, and only a collective “whoah!” to Starlight’s solution.  
Later that day, there was a panel of the reviwers who make the TF2 videos, and even the ones who haven’t always loved Starlight (such as DaWillstanator) said that they were more on her side, but that everyone was in-character.

Well, yes, that’d be me. While reading this ahead of time muddied my impression of the episode and made me pessimistic, after watching it, I found it to actually be a pretty good episode (which is high praise coming from me when it comes to Starlight episode) and not really befitting the way it’s described here.

Well, I finally watched the episode, and I just want to address the first paragraph of the description:
So I heard about an upcoming episode. It’s another bad episode in which the mentally-deranged Glimmer gets butthurt about her boyfriend spending time with other girls, so in typical psychotic bitch fashion, she decides she deserves to have him and have her wants satisfied more than he deserves agency. So she tries a goddamn age-regression spell on the guy. And she gets away with this, instead of going to Tartarus, or following Applejack behind her barn.
I’d love to know if there are any GlimGlam critics who disagree with that summary, or if that’s pretty much the consensus of that subset of fandom.
chris the lovable jerk

Wow, this is so wrong I don’t even know where to begin. I don’t love Starlight but I certainly don’t hate her, but this is just ridiculous. Plus the Mentally Advanced series guy retired the show because of how far behind he was and the fact that it would literally take him years to catch up.
