“Chicks dig giant robots.”
 
 
How much better would this kids’ show be if it had giant robots? A lot better.

>I liked image x, what are some other images like x?
 
I created small service which answers this. It calculates image similarity by using tags and favourited_by_users data. Please try it out. Image id_number is used as query.
 
Example:  
>>445463
 
http://derp.mlfw.info/for-image?id_number=445463
 
Username can be added to highlight already favourited images:
 
http://derp.mlfw.info/for-image?id_number=445463&username=Taivastiuku
 
The suggestions seem pretty decent. The real problem is updating the similarity database in a timely fashion. Currently I just load the whole derpibooru database through the API and reprocess all the data. Needless to say but this takes several hours and probably causes unnecessary server load on derpibooru (I do respect robots.txt and other instructions). Some kind of database diff could be nice or maybe I should just devise a scheme for determining which images have most probably changed and update those.
 
Another topic I’ve been studying are personal recommendations based on user fav history:
 
>Based on my history, what are some good images?  
>Based on my history, what are some good tags or filters?
 
Currently the largest problem is that there seems to be no way to authenticate derpibooru user to a third party service. Giving out personalized results to anyone who knows a username doesn’t seem like a good idea.  
Maybe the api key could be used? User could paste their key and I could call something like http://derpiboo.ru/whoami?key=123 to get the users name?
 
Best option would be oAuth2 or similar.
 
Option for user to export their downvotes would be nice too.

I don’t get it. This whole thing with fedoras being associated with neckbeards,bronies and fat people really came out of nowhere with no real justification. Like, I haven’t even seen any instances of neckbearded men wearing fedoras being posted on the internet anywhere before this negative stereotype became a thing.
 
Did we just pick something random and add a negative connotation to it to see how far it would go or what?

I have seen occasional examples of an image being posted that is of lower quality than could be found else where. For example, some artists have both a Tumblr and an FA account. FA compresses and even shrinks images in most cases, where as Tumblr will be full quality. So my question is: Is it an option to contact the mods, with a link to a larger/higher quality, but otherwise identical image to replace the existing one? I know I could make a post with the better image version and then request a merger, but that seems like an over all bad way to go about it.
 
My apologies if this question has already been addressed.

I apparently don’t know how to handle the cons of making digital art and posting on art sites.
 
I get this guy harassing me to draw rainbow dash and Fluttershy screwing communist dictators. I refuse to do it, but he keeps changing up requests. I blocked him. Now I’m getting another person harassing and threatening to unblock that guy.  
I then get a note from another guy telling me to block that requester because he just harasses people and trolls. I feel like shit because of that and I don’t know what else to do since I blocked the two people bothering me about refusing their requests for communist x flutterdash porn.
 
I started getting stupid ass hate mail for doing requests for people’s OCs.
 
what the hell is up with this?

I am going to be switching to linux, and when I do, I’ll make an MLP Game. It will only run on Linux. Don’t Expect Anything Until 2015.

Who is the most profitable? I’m guessing Pinkie Pie

Alright, there is the qilin, the actual creature from Chinese mythology. It’s got a distinctive look, and some people have drawn MLP-related pictures of them.
 
The problem is that people also use the tag for dragon/pony hybrids, which makes it pretty damn hard to search for actual qilin. Additionally, at least one artist, Carnifex, doesn’t like to use the term for his hybrids.
 
Given that we already have the tags dracony and dragonpony, is there any reason that we can’t apply those properly instead of calling non-qilin qilin?

So we do have that general talk about the first G1 specials/movies/tv series going on over here, but I thought it would be nice to share one of the very best things about it: the songs !
 
The average time for these songs is only a minute, but they’re delicious bite-sized bits of show tunes and theatrical elaboration, almost all of them are fun and catchy, or good at setting the mood, whether it’s the villains, or the ponies, or their allies singing them!
 
I’ve arranged the playlist in chronological order of original airing appearance, though with the tv series’ two ending themes at the end. Most are courtesy of uploads from “WishFaerie”:www.youtube.com/user/WishFaerie, and they’re all in good condition except for a few of the original specials that were cut out, like the opening/closing themes and such.
 
I hope you guys enjoy them!
 
G1 MLP ’n F Songs
 

As you can see in a title, how you can do that?

I find it funny people get butthurt over OCs and downvote the art

I didn’t see a topic of this. But I’ll make one. With the rise of some projects being funded through viva kickstarter(Al Lowe’s Leisure Suit Larry Reloaded, Ralph Bakshi’s Last Days Of Coney Island, Shantae 1/2 genie hero). Some people are asking the fans for the help of spending a couple of bucks to make a project. Did you fund for a project? Post the link and talk about it.
 
This goes for kickstarter projects that peak your interest and as well help get the word out. I pledged to Maxwell Atom’s Dead Meat a few days ago. Its on the home stretch. Its only got 4,000 more to go before it can reach the finish line.

So with the Luna comic concluding the series next month, I figure now would be a good time to look back at all the micros and rank them. Mine are as follows:
 
Top Tier (Would read again and again, best)  
Rarity (usually considered to be the best, overrated but still good)  
Cutie Mark Crusaders (cute story, good art)  
Rainbow Dash (RD being awesome instead of a jerk)  
Spike (Biased, but correctly used Spike’s character for comedy and was endearing)
 
Middling (Would read once, never would have desire to read again)  
Fluttershy (decent art, but meh story)  
Celestia (yeah, I wanted a micro about Celestia, not somepony else)  
Twilight (mediocre art, but a decent story I guess)
 
Bottom Tier (Regret reading)  
Pinkie Pie (A repeat of Twilight’s micro with the same twist? Why?)  
Applejack (They can’t even make her not boring in the comics, still dead weight)

I liked Return of Harmony.
 
Tara Strong is the hottest voice actor

For those that don’t know, that means butts. So, who has the best pony butt? Or, who draws the best pony butts?
 

 

I guess everyone’s already figured PonyKart was dead, but the guys decided to air out the corpse a bit.
 
A moment of silence, please.

Pretty much what the title entails; if someone makes another mlp fan game or there’s a actual mlp game what sort of video game do you think would work best and would be the best sort of game?
 

 
What I think personally works best is 2d games. Not true 2d though, rather 3d models rendered onto a 2d plane with a 2d background. Like how street fighter 4’s characters are 3d models on a 2d plane with cell shading and that. As much as I like games like fighting is magic, the leaked version, the reason why that took so long was that making a true 2d game you have to draw EVERY animation frame. A true 2d game would take a extremely long time to make.
 
I’m not talking bad about people that try to make true 2d games, rather we will never see a video game like odin sphere as a fan project.

What’s the deal with it? Is it some kind of troll or spam thing?

Time for a little discussion, see what you think about this.
 
Like it? Hate it? Let us know in the comments below!

Kinda worked last time, so..
 
I’m in rather… large need of art of my OC, Aurora Moon, in her anthro state.. in ‘Nightmare’ form. Anthro Nightmare Aurora Moon, basically.
 
Full body shot, full color. I don’t really have a use for lineart. >.<
 
As with any time I request a pic, there comes one problem. An inability to buy a commission. No credit card or anything else essential to being capable of doing so. Trust me, if I could I would.
 
If interested, send a PM, and I’ll show the reference for Aurora’s nightmare self. And her anthro self. Since you’re essentially going to mix the two.

I enjoyed watching this show when it first came out on The Discovery Channel in 2004. I enjoyed it so much that I was interested in similar programs that had the insights into such gruesome stuff (Lucky for me I wasn’t squemish for such stuff as a kid).
 
The show only had about 10 episodes, a shame really, I would’ve like to seen at least 15 episodes before they decided to end it (The last few could’ve been about other ‘very squeamish’ events like the Battle of Culloden (Or at least it’s aftermath).
 
Rory Mcgrath (For a comedian) does a really good presenter for this show (At least in my opinion). His comedic moments really made me laugh as a kid (Now when I watch it again after all these years I still get a good chuckle out of it).
 
Anyway enough about me, what do you guys think about this show? Comment below and tell me what you think?
 
Also if anyone hasn’t seen the show, you can easily search it up on youtube these days.
 
Here’s a link to the first episode if ya want
 
^I know it saids 10/10 but I checked on Wikipedia that it’s the first episode

Based upon my average upvote/downvote ratio, (with downvotes outnumbering upvotes by FAR) it can seem that I’m not really posting anything likable on this site.

This is WAY overdue, but I’ve been wanting to write this thread as a means of having a general discussion with the folks of this community. Over the months that I’ve been an active member of this site, I’ve come across a lot of friendly people, including plenty who have supported or played along with (both work for me, lol) my love for the Changeling Queen.
 
I would like to thank everyone, as well as say that I have lately been trying to become even more friendly here, in areas where I maybe haven’t been the best sport.
 
So, yeah. Any questions or comments that you have, I (and Chrissy ;)) am here to listen and respond.
