Point made. Thanks to all who participated in this experiment.

126 replies in 20 minutes. Foman called it.

I just PMed this to you, but as this thread is now unlocked:

You're a Bungie employee. You inherently receive more and different replies. Make an alt and try this again to see if you get similar results.
Way to read the link. That was the entire point.

Indeed. The question asked was why we don't post here more often. The Septagon icon is too great a disturbance to your natural habitat. Add the notion of Bronies, and it is like waving a red flag at a bull.

This was not a knock on The Flood. Every great Internet Community has a slaughterhouse where anything goes (within reason). We would never change a thing about this one, but it is best left undisturbed as a read-only limbo.

I'm still not exactly sure what I'm looking for in that link.

You ninjas and employees are probably laughing your asses off in HFCS right now.
Enjoy it while you can. The brony military are on their way now, riding tanks modeled after ponies, and have armor plating 23 inches thick with 250 mm cannons, accompanied by 5,000 foot soldiers with the newest military tech, and the best military training. And that is just one battalion out of many more around the U.S.
One does not simply stop a brony army. Equestria is guarded by more than just ponies. There is friendship there, that does not sleep. And the great empress Celestia, is ever watchful.

It is a bountiful land, filled with green grass, rainbows, and magic. The very air you breathe is filled with the scent of cotton candy. Not with 10,000 Floodians could you do this. It is folly.
The bronies will punish you Bungie. You have been warned.

The sound of iron shocks is stuck in my head, The thunder of the drums dictates
The rhythm of the falls, the number of dead's the rising of the horns, ahead
From the dawn of time to the end of days I will have to run, away
I want to feel the pain and the bitter taste of the blood on my lips, again

I'm pretty sure it started as a joke on 4chan.

Then it evolved and now it has a massive fanbase.


Damn, good work. 8 pages

You could also hide the Septagon when posting inside an off-topic thread that's not to be taken seriously. As you just said, it only draws unneeded attention.

SH4D0W0733 What terrifying beast keeps the golden text of yours and others from gracing the flood with your presence more often?

Watch this... You see? The Flood is a beast all its own.

For some yes, at least in the early stages of the fandom. But there are those who genuinely enjoy the show, for it's characters, animation and so forth. It's certainly a lot better than most cartoons these days.

MLP is just another cartoon compared to the gold-plated genius of Phineas and Ferb.
eh? no.

The only reason why a lot of you "bronies" watch MLP is because- well, because you all do it, because it's cool, kind of like smoking or licking small, pond-based amphibians to get high.

Whereas Phineas and Ferb doesn't have a silly culture built around it and is genuinely funny regardless of age, even going as far to include the occasional adult joke that kids won't get.

But please, continue to enjoy a show designed to teach children basic morals.

My linked gamertag is not my main acc.

Think of a naked guy running around in a city fapping to a pony that is running around with rainbows from their asses. Then a huge fanbase likes it. What do we get? Lots of -blam!-s saying "-blam!- you! Let us -blam!- ponies if we want! We are atractted to poines!!!!"
