Oh...I thought it went the way of Fred.

You know what YouTuber deserves a TV show? Rhett and Link. Those guys are so charming and funny.

I hop it was, I haven't seen it around, but it might still be lingering if they have a comic now.

Yes, I agree. I loved their nerd vs geek rap battle because they said "brony" in it. :yay:

The comic is over. One of the cartoonists confirmed it to me.

The "My Little Baloney" parody is the last one in the series.

I've lately been on a YouTube binge of John and Hank Green's stuff - Vlogbrothers, SciShow, Crash Course, Mental Floss, etc! There's so much amazing and interesting stuff that those two put out!

EDIT: Also, Vsauce. Vsauce is fantastical.

Looks like we have a writer list for Season 5!

So from this I'm getting...

M.A. Larson
G.M. Berrow
Josh Haber
?
Natasha Levinger
Scott Sonneborn
Amy Keating Rogers
Dave Polsky
?
?
Noelle Benvenuti
Cindy Morrow

...and a few notable omissions (Merriwether Williams, Charlotte Fullerton, Corey Powell :saddash:, probably others). I'm guessing Meghan will be writing too.

God you just made me realize it's October soon, which means season 5 can't be all that far off.

I was much happier when the possibility of new Pony wasn't in my sights. Now I want it to come out already :gonkity:

ND could also stand for Nicole Dubuc who has worked on other HUB shows like, Haunting Hour, Rescuebots & Spooksville.

Neal Dusedau is another guess. He worked with Meghan before on Fish Hooks.

There's an article about Archie Comics getting sued for gender discrimination.

Without commenting on the lawsuit, I just want to note this picture. Look behind the woman.

From the article it looks like both men and women were sueing for discrimination in the work place. Only the men's case was dismissed because they made the mistake of being white males while sueing? That is a new one on me. :pinkieshrug:

No. MLP is by IDW Publishing. Archie Does well Archie XD. And Sabrina, Josie & The Pussycats, MegaMan, Sonic. Etc. And yeah it's a sad case as Archie has been a pretty good publisher as of late. Being one of the first to introduce an openly gay Character into all-ages comics with Kevin Keller. Launching a line of Horror comics via Afterlife with Archie & re-launching their super-hero line. But yea Sad to. See some bad Apples in the company didn't know how to act professionally at work. :rainbert:

Ironically I have a quiz about sexual harrassment in my media management class today. :v:

Sexual harassment seems like it has the easiest potential to be abused. According to the classes I took it's not what was said but rather how the person hearing it interproates it. So even just saying "hello" to someone can be considered sexual harassment.

Hah, yeah, I was thinking about how "no spoilers" doesn't make much sense right now.

Actually, I'm wondering: During the season, what can we discuss outside the spoiler subforum w/r/t new episodes? I'm guessing previews and screenshots are off-limits, but are synopses and such considered spoilers? Are we allowed to acknowledge that Season 5 is coming, or is the existence of every episode a strictly guarded secret until the moment it airs? :v:

Well, I guess we discuss about the episodes about what storylines you expect to see, who you think will be writing the episode, ect. We can also comment about the current episodes that had aired, I suppose. :pinkieshrug:

The general policy is that stuff that is released officially, such as episode previews and ads on the Hub, aren't spoilers. However, it is still considered courteous to keep such info within each episode's thread (you know, the ones we post on the Wednesday before a new episode). The spoiler rules as they are now mainly deal with keeping discussion of an episode in the episode thread until midnight PST the same day that it's aired, such that people can get a chance to watch it any time on Saturday.

Things used to be a lot stricter, but after dealing with the news of alicorn Twilight and keeping all discussion of it sealed in the spoiler forum (as far as I can tell, we were pretty much the only site in the fandom to treat it as a big spoiler and not as something everyone already knew), the rules got loosened for the sake of the mods who otherwise had to keep people in line.

No, it's visible by default. If you go to manage your usergroups, you can join a group that will make the spoiler forum invisible to you, so that you can never accidentally read anything that's posted in there. There's also one for disabling OMT, in case you are deathly allergic to fanfiction.

During Season 2, I used to eat up spoilers like candy. After that, I started to scale back a lot more. The fact that this place has separate places for spoilers is definitely appreciated in that regard. I'm still pretty good about keeping myself spoiler-free, but I do crack from time to time. :v:

Season 4 kinda burned me out on wanting to discuss the show, so I stopped caring about spoilers or even watching less popular episodes.

I also kinda just found other things to occupy my time, so while I still like MLP, I read spoilers for OTHER things instead :-I

But if you don't read the spoilers, how do you know which episodes are going to be popular? Hmm? :smirk:
