as if I haven´t thought about that. My expectations are zero in fact but time always proves what it´s worthy to make and what it isn´t.

yeah, even though everyone was posting memes about Moot leaving the boat before it sank. 

> Just peek at recent trends in posting and you will have the answer
on /mlp/? Nothing has changed that much. Save the deletion of certain memes, overmoderation of meta threads and the roleplaying rule, the board itself hasn´t noticed a substantial change. (that immunity may come because of the generals)

ah, damn. Well, that´s something at least. It´s mostly because it turns off the viewer for having no images around the posts.

don´t think that it was that fun for me either. Between that and the 500 errors, well my patience was being tested. 

Fortunately, the board has recovered itself over time and the important stuff has remained untouched and even completed.
