> down right now

I was there seconds ago.

Granted it was out for a few hours last night. And their TOR interface has been down for weeks, now.

But in the interest of encouraging discussions:

> New episode will be broadcast on Saturday @ 11:30am Eastern (UTC -4) on Discovery Family.

Whaddya think of the new episode coming out tomorrow?

It seems 8ch's once-active TOR interface has been yoinked yet again.

Perhaps it's time to turn aside to alternatives.

For me there is stuff I like about both Twilight with wings and Twilight without. Sometimes it does seem a little off with her without wings now for sure. They are also good for emotional expression.

> also, 5 years since it happened. FIVE YEARS
WOW! That just feels weird. The change still seems kinda new to me. I was someone who never really hated the whole Twicorn thing. I was a little skeptical, but I figured that it could also be fun too. Though I do find myself agreeing with Twilight fans now more then I used to when it comes to complaints to the direction of her character.

Her character is awkward after she becomes a princess. From nerdy to a "I know everything and I can do no wrong" character, it made her look like the perfect princess (a Mary Sue like many joked back in 2014) 

However, I've got to put a warning sign here. I've got to say that I don't notice when she's a princess or Twilight just being Twilight. What I am trying to say is that despite all the titles and stuff, she ends up being the same for me. She has less moments and it hurts to see that she was put aside for a couple of seasons besides the premieres and finales.

Her charm is there and this last year proved that we are in front of the same character we all loved back in the early seasons. By the way,S1 Twilight was NOT that good despite what many people believe. She was placed everywhere when she didn't need to appear in the first place (Stare Master, Green Isn't Your Color) and kind of changes the natural pacing of the episodes.

Thank goodness she evolved and got more opportunistic when Lesson Zero happened. That's when Twilight became a forced plot device for the morals to a full character

In my opinion,her character really shone in 2017, with the movie and the Flurry and Zeppelin episodes. She showed genuine flaws and at the same time, all her changes (from 2010 to 2017) were put into the table(the princess duties with an auntie touch). I think focusing on her family and putting her as a teacher really balanced the sudden shitstorms in the middle and it  paid off in the end.

The Twilicorn drama feels recent,yet, we have more episodes and years with that change than the unicorn era.It feels really weird but we have changed a lot the perspectives since that sold out moment along with EQG.

The best thing is that Twilight cannot be ruined. She has survived a lot of things and diffucult years.I must respect those fans who have loved from the start.

You bet it was. In this era I used to think Twilight fans were kind of arrogant and selfish. Her characher was hogging the show a bit. I didn't really get at first when her fans started to complain about her being pushed aside or her being nerfed/holding the idiot ball. Wasn't season  6 that I started to see where they were comming from.

I feel like they really kinda screwed with her characher during seasons 4 through 6. Twilight went from being OP to being barely competent at times. Always right to being awlays stupid. I laughed when Twily fans  complained about her not using her horn laser or teleport away when she was surrouded (Leap of Fath anyone?). But more and more little momments like her having weird obtuse dialog or her being easily outsmarted that caused to actually take it seriously.

Haven't fully seen Season 7. (Dont worry. Seen the final, no worries of spoliers for me). But I have noticed her seeming more in characher this season.

Yeah, she was shoehorned when she didn't need to be. Kinda like how I feel sometimes with Starlight Dolores Umbridge (overall I don't realy love her or hate her). It often feels weird in eps for her to have a roll when she wasn't the focus of it. Either that she is taking a role that would be more fitting for another, or that she wasn't needed at all in the ep.
(2/2)
anything.You will notice that all she is placed in a balanced zone where she gets back on track.

You didn't get Twifags because they were blinded and defended what they loved. Nothing more and nothing less,they went through times when they were really misunderstood( Twilight's inconsistencies didn't help) but looking at retrospective,it was painful to talk about her publicly.

You couldn't be proud of her or talk about anything without pointing out the wings joke and brainless responses( more or less what happened to Dolores Umbridge during the last year). I say that you will enjoy her the less you get obsessed about those changes. They are inherent to her and part of a new charm is that...she got away with it somehow. 

Don't have any rush to watch season 7 but I must say that you won't worry about these topics whenever you watch them.

FiM has gone through a lot of consistencies and huge mistakes yet those didn't prevent from enjoying standalone episodes for what they delivered. I think that perspective helped me to be more open about her recent appeareances and enjoy Twilight more than other fags.

I don't know how the hell I typed that but it actually means Star Light Glim Glam

I think this site has tricked me like in fourchan with to be honest and desu. I hope it's not the case.

I've had strange stuff like that happen all the time. (Also had my cat post stuff on accident before.) I wonder what the character limit is here anyway? That would be the first thing I'd think of.

HA HA HA! I was wondering what the heck that was. Maybe when could turn it into a joke here if this place gets off the ground!

try to type her name but I swear I don't see how it got tranformed. If it actually happens,then we have discovered a flaws of the algorhythm.

Behold,Dolores is here. We need the bridge to receive her properly.

Agreed. We need to find a propper bridge to honnor such a bridge making legend. She has a hard enough time always being mistaken for Starlight Dolores Umbridge. I mean have you seen her cutie mark? Totally different pony.

The last part of her nam 'Umbridge' is Marewegian (of which her parents hail from) for "Of the bridge". Many people misunderstand her cutie mark as relating just to bridge work. When in fact it relates to anything having to do with crossing a space.

I have had stranger things happen to me. Both online and in real life that people would have a hard time believing. Totally believe ya.

it actually happened before in  >>/359/
and there are not enough bridges to cover this sadly

I thought I was being paranoid.It seems that the end doesn't accept her name. I hope this doesn't happen to characters like Tempest or Coloratura, they have filtered a relevant one already.

Yeah this is stupid. I presume this is the work of one of the board owners here? I know in the tags for this board in the master list it says stuff like "hate sociopathic shills".

Urg... I hope they don't world filter the movie characters or all new charachters past season 4 or something stupid like that.

>  I know in the tags for this board in the master list it says stuff like "hate sociopathic shills".
It seems that has-drone itself is also filtered.
 >>/375/
That was previous owners. I didn't want to change anything, but yeah, it's better without all those word filters, so they're removed now.

Word filters are only a problem if they mess up discussion. Otherwise I think there fine. Especially if they were used as a little in jokes or against trolls trying to derail the threads.

I'm glad that it was one of the previous board owners (How many were there anyhow?). It would be awful if the board was nuked because somepony liked Twilight in season 7 or didn't have a problem with starlight or something. Especially when it was just starting to be (kinda) alive.
 >>/375/
It cannonly be checked by using the filtered words. Let's test:

> Starlight Glimmer 
> Skystar
> Hasdrone
> Novo
> Capper
> Songbird Serenade
> Celaeno
> Grubber
> Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist
> Storm King (if this one got filtered,we would have a very serious problem here)

Season 5:
> Party Favor,Sugar Belle, Double Diamond,Night Glider, Countless Coloratura, Maud Marble and Limestone Pie, Minuette,Moondancer, Twinkleshine, Lyra Heartstrings,Derpy Hooves, Sweetie Drops, Roseluck,Sassy Saddles, Rutherford,Diamond Tiara

Season 6:
> Flurry Heart, Sunburst,Zephyr Breeze, Trixie Lulamoon,Saffron, Ember, Thorax, Cherilee, Braeburn, Flim Flam, Spoiled Rich,Gabby

Season 7 (don't watch them if you haven't seen it):
>Somnambula,Meadowbrook,Rockhoof, Stygian,Thunder Lane, Grumble,Feather Bangs,  Pharynx

I haven't checked any wiki or anything related. Just a list out of my mind and the most posted out ther

they have deleted the word filters as I have checked over here  >>/378/. The list is correct so there will be no problem to post those characters.

However, these posts are legendary. The Dolores filter could serve to detect newfags or something because my mind last night broke when this was the only chan I encountered with that...curiosity.
 >>/391/
I have no idea. There has to be some use for it though. It could imagen it being a bit of a burden to some. I love the idea of it being used in some form. Maybe we could put it back and only use "Starlight" and her various fandom nicknames to talk about her.

It truely does. How else do think she managed to calmly run her cult. Plus, manage all the bridge construction projects! 

She took it up to keep help her keep things collected, I can just imagen Dolores sitting there, after a hard day's work, finally relaxing and popping out a joint while playing kool and The Gang to chill.

Kool and The Gang is for the parties, I wonder if you have reserved a lot of energy for that event (though the chill moments are completely guaranteed). You must end up exhausted.

Take a walk with her to the nearest bridge  you have and watch the sunrise. Don't forget to hug her and appreciate both the sun and the bridge you stand upon. She made it for both in her most recent architecture project and you feel those equality vibes from the inside.  And when you feel equal with Dolores,that's when you know she's the one

Though she puts on an ostentatious display, she is actually quite insecure about her bridge works. She was discouraged from a young age do to the fact that it didn't fit her cutie mark. One of the reasons that lead her to her custom anti cutie mark brand of communism in the first place. So yes, certainly remember to compliment her bridge!
 >>/453/
> compliment her bridge
If I did that back in the season 5 premiere, mein Umbridge would put me into the room and think about my actions. You couldn't praise her so positively.

What should I do? Talk about her communist side of professional work? or just love her as a fan of her  bridges?

I have fears and hopes,but I don't know what to tell her

You may be able to do both if you're smart about it. Talking about her lastest five year plan and just mention how the bridges are going well. You don't have ta gush over them or anything.

what happens if she asks me for opinions of her other bridges she is currently planning? 
I could avoid that topic for a while but I am not sure about the intentions she is going to have. It's hard to say no to this cutie.

Yeah, that is a pickle isn't it? I suppose you could try to keep it professional and related to the work at hoof. But man that is a minefield of a topic. Any  criticism offered could be taken the wrong way, and she's too smart to simply be a yes man to.

to be honest, it started while discussing this  >>/359/,  >>/360/ which is funny because I was having lots of troubles while posting on mobile and for some reason I cut the post just there. 
Then this happens,  >>/364/ and  >>/366/.

I don´t know what was going on in my head honestly. I shitposted as if I was that desperate to find content or something to discuss...

Starring L23:  >>/372/

and the owner saying the same words that he said earlier today:  >>/375/  >>/376/

It feels weird to see ourselves over there...shitposting as if there were more faggots over there...
