An explanation of current events.

@acres  
Unhappy Grandpa Gruff.

@Officer Hotpants  
I’m just hoping I get it by the end of the year.

I want a badge for being such an insomniac.

Some variety of badges would be fine in this site. Like something related to the censorship that happened in DB and ppl migrated here.

@Anonymous #1C09  
Fun fact: Many of the mods on Derpibooru still think that few people cared about that whole debacle.

@Zaknel  
Lol really?

@Zaknel  
Fun Fact: Many Derpi mods are also possibly retarded.

@Digiqrow  
Yes, really.

@Zaknel  
If you mean guys like Dilarus then you are absolutely correct.

@TrukkinDuck  
I had to check DB just now to confirm that Dilarus had not, in fact, been made a mod since I stopped frequenting it.

@Officer Hotpants  
God no, him moderating derpi is like tumblr all over again. Thankfully, it won’t happen since he left and effectively deleted himself from derpibooru.

@TrukkinDuck  
And nothing of value was lost. I’d never even heard of him until he apparently returned from exile to inform everyone that he was going into exile.

@TrukkinDuck  
To be perfectly honest, I liked Dilarus’s art style and it’s always a shame to lose out on a decent artist’s work, but it was his choice to go full retard. Kinda like Alex Mauer (pants-on-head crazy chiptune composer), the art doesn’t make up for the antics.

@Azure Fang  
That’s the guy he keeps filing false copyright claims and lawsuits against that shmup game, right?

@Officer Hotpants  
Against anybody that uses his music, mentions Starr Mazer, or has ever brought questions to his claims of having Gender Dysphoria, yes. His music is incredible but after his meltdowns its hard to enjoy it, thus the analogy.

Just noticed this and figured I’d pop in to say hi again. I had lost my job a couple months back or something and while I was able to quickly find a new one, getting situated in a more fast paced work environment took its toll so I basically went ded to the internet for a long ass time.
 
Got temporarily laid off due to new restrictions in my state so I’ve got a month or so now where I’ll have plenty of time to help out more. Had I known things had gotten so held up around here staff-wise I would have poked around at least a few times a week to try to assist still, and I intend to try to do so from now on even when work kicks back in.
 
Man this covid shit and everything happening because of it is a pain in the ass. I seriously hope shit gets at least mostly back to normal next year…

@ArchiveAnon  
Honestly, not much happened that needed a mod. All of us just goofed around.

@Havoc  
Then I showed up.

@acres  
You are included in us.

@Havoc  
I’m finally part of something.
 
I wonder if we can get the twitter page up and running again.

@ArchiveAnon  
No worries. This place has pretty much run itself. Benefits of a small, close-knit community. It’s really just technical stuff that’s needed doing.

@ArchiveAnon  
How dare you let life issues interfere with your singly important role as a pony site moderator. Why, I think I’ll go cry on twitter. That’ll show you!
 
Now that that ration of snark and sarcasm is out of the way, don’t sweat it. Life happens (and considering this year, is probably going to keep happening for a few months more at least). I’d rather hear the site’s shutting down than that a mod/admin harmed themselves in any way trying to juggle 2020 and a MLP-centric image board.
 
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I made the mistake of reading your custom title, and now I need to find something to drown out Rebecca Sugar’s “Everything Stays” now playing on repeat in my head.

Honestly I’m glad I get some time to relax and poniponi again. Doing moderator-y things doesn’t bother me any anyway, running a damn minecraft server for a few years at a friends request that had a couple dozen literal children bickering with each other constantly kinda immunizes me to some of the tedium involved lol.
 
 
@Azure Fang  
I find that song getting stuck in my head all the damn time. It doesn’t help that it’s been my alarm that I wake up to since the AT episode aired that had it. Such a nice tune to wake up to.

@Azure Fang  
..do i even want to know in wich context “everything stays” is?

@TeamBlueplant  
Here, for context. And extra impact if you happen to be a fan of both SU and AT.
 
@ArchiveAnon  
Ah, a man of culture I see. AT: DL - Obsidian had some good new songs too.
