Ask the mods anything

@CyanLightning  
She looks good without the trousers/pants .

What is the worst prank you’ve ever pulled?

Do the mods have a discord server?

@Marx  
Most of the staff use Discord but there isn’t an official channel. If you want to chat with us, IRC is the canonical method.

@Marx  
There’s no me server.

@Nittany Discord  
Can’t you be the server? Got the maid dress and all

@PaskaNaakka  
Oh oh.
 
Punny. Very Punny.

Hey all.
 
I’ve got a question regarding obtaining the artist badge on this site.
 
It said that, to get the badge, I need to become a verified artist. In order to do so, I was sent to this page:  
!file:///C:/Users/Graham/Misc/Untitledkhio.png!
 
So I filled it all in, as you can see, and it gave me a confirmation code. The page told me to put that verification code on my URL, I think. I wasn’t sure what it meant, but I stuck the code onto the bottom of my “about me” section. More recently, I decided to move the code to the top of that section. By the way, the URL I provided was for my Derpibooru profile, because I don’t have a dA account yet
 
Did I do this right? Will that work so that I can get an artist link and badge?

What’s the origin of your username?

@Mellow91  
You already got it

Ah, thanks for pointing that out, Cyan.  
I just sent that post above just in case

@Mellow91  
Done. Aye it just takes until someone has a free moment and checks the links to see if there’s a new one. So it can range from nigh instantly to a couple of hours~

@Zeb  
True. And I see it can also take a bit of time before the artist badge appears beside your username on a post!  
But all in all, problem solved ^^

@Zeb  
I mean, I’m guessing that can also take time, right?

@Mellow91  
Yes. That’s due to caching. That can take about a half hour or so I think for it to show up in your comments/posts.

@Zeb  
Right, gotcha

@TheAnonShy  
Origin of my username:  
Long ago in a distant land, I once started playing a game called Everquest.  
In that game, when creating a character, they had a Random name generator if you didn’t feel like making one up yourself.  
While making an Iksar [lizard due race] I clicked it a bunch of times till the name “Zebasiz” appeared. I liked it. And that’s been my username for damn near everything ever since!
 
In recent years I’ve begun to drop the “asiz” part, since no one can really ever pronounce it, not even me. So then I just go by Zeb.  
Which was an amazing coincidence when I watched the MLP Bright Lights special and one of the villains was named Zeb!  
Now he’s my Avatar~

@TheAnonShy  
I eat armadillos.

@TheAnonShy  
It’s my actual name :P

@TheAnonShy  
The background pony Lightning Bolt, AKA White Lightning. It wasn’t exactly a conscious decision on my part, but like five years ago, my BF before he was my BF had the idea of trolling a friend we had at the time by making a Tumblr RP account of that guy’s fave BG pony, which was Lightning Bolt, so I played with him for a couple weeks until I accidentally gave myself away by mentioning the same shampoo as a pony and as a human, so I rather quickly gave up my facade and just gravitated towards the guy who would someday be my BF as I liked him way more.
 
Over time, my RP of that pony turned into my OC, basically a corrupted form of that BG pony who was somehow both dead, a Homestuck troll, and Venom from Spider-Man at the same time. It was weird. Now she’s really just kinda there.
 
I was originally Starly here, which was my second major internet name. (Usually formatted as StarlyK or ShadowStarly)

@LightningBolt  

 
Woah

@Mike  
Tumblr is weird, even pony RP Tumblr circa 2011 was weird.

@LightningBolt  
Lol

@LightningBolt  
This is for you LightningBolt or White Lightning
 
Are we related? I mean you are White Lightning while I am Cyan Lightning
 
I would like to know how you and him become a couple? if you don’t mind telling me

@CyanLightning  
Well, the Enterplay card said her dad was a unicorn, and she has unicorn siblings, so, if you ant idc.
 
I should play with that some day, picking family for LB from BG ponies.
 
My BF and me? Basically I just bugged him every for about 6 months until I developed feelings and told him, tho it’s a lot more complicated than that, and plus he made it clear before I did, I was just dumb and didn’t even realize it at first.
