I hope the same. So far it seems like people get along quite well, though. With any luck that’ll remain the case.
I can’t speak to most of the DNP stuff but asking for a street address is, indeed, asking too much. Requiring confirmation via another site you frequently upload to or an email address you’ve publicly advertised for commissions really should be sufficient. Ziz says he’s still working stuff out, though, so that’ll probably change soon.

I just hope it doesn’t become Derpi’s oppposite, in that, the mods become just as abusive and biased just on the other end of the spectrum, cause that’s still just as bad, but I’m willing to give it a chance.
I am a little confused with some of the rules though, like why even have a DNP list if you can just upload the artists work after 3 months anyway? Also needing to give your street address to make a takedown request seems pretty shady. I know the site is in beta right now but I hope those get worked out.
@Daneasaur
Indeed. I noted the other day that there’s a weight I never noticed on DB that’s absent in this place. You don’t have to second guess yourself on everything you post. There’s none of that “wait, no. If I make that joke it’ll just get Rule 0’d.” It’s a wonderful feeling.

Aye. it’ll always hurt to know that this isn’t the place where we were gathered to watch the episodes as they aired or discussed where the series could go, but I’d rather have an unchained future than stay shackled to a lying past.
I wish this will become my new “home”: a site where I can see cute ponies and good lewds without political agenda, endless fandom drama, etc.
It looks pretty good by now to be honest.

As long as you keep making pictures, keep attempting to learn, and are willing to listen when someone says “No, you did [this] wrong”, you’ll improve and you’ll get a lot more love.
@Whistle Blossom
I’m sure there will still be the occasional headbutting. The main question is if it will be resolved as peacefully instead of the old method…

I think so, we discussed the chemicals needed to make it green and then “discussed” if it was an indication of temperature.
@Officer Hotpants
I’m glad some folks recognize me. I’m going to bring some of my commissions here when some of the alias tags get ironed out and my full artist watch list from derpi is up and running here.
I’m sad and disappointed that our fandom has to be divided into sides.
competition is good
While it’s initially unfavorable, competition is good because it will force both sides into trying to outdo the other. Look at the Nintendo vs Sega days; constant back and forth trying to out perform the other. However nowadays, Nintendo just does it’s own thing and Xbox and Playstation are basically sharing the same library of games and are mostly like less strong PCs with fewer games.
It lead to a stagnation and for some people to get a head of power and think that a loud minority was the people to cater to. The banning of the “shota/loli” pony content was arguably the first step they took, instead of pushing for blacklists.
So many Spike images were removed because someone at any time would arbitrarily say he WAS under aged in once instance, but not under aged in another. I’m glad that’s not the case here.
