You’re right about one thing: I watched the later seasons.

Uncomfortable trooth: ya’ll don’t like Starlight because you actually watched the later seasons.
 
I haven’t, and so have no bad feelings about her. I just know that she says “put it on my tab”, which is based.

@Boxless  
I agree. We should pick Shimmercorn instead.

@Zaknel  
No.

Alicorn Day!
 

@ЅℰℒᎯℙℋℐℰℒ  
It’d be a nice change of pace from jokes in poor taste or site-breaking ‘features’.

@Officer Hotpants  
Yeah. That’s an excellent idea.
 
Aryanne Day.

@ЅℰℒᎯℙℋℐℰℒ  
April 1st I get. What happens in March, though?
 
@Aryanne  
I was talking about Hitler, yes. Only makes sense given which mare was the breaking point that led to this site’s creation. I was thinking a sort of Aryanne Day.

@Officer Hotpants  
I love that idea, but probably for a different reason than the one you’re alluding to.
 
April 20 is the birthday of a very famous individual in particular.

@Officer Hotpants  
Whatever major holidays that happen at least in North America.
 
Feel free to include some other holidays from other places if they wish.
 
But something should be done on April 1 and the day before to “spice things up”

@ЅℰℒᎯℙℋℐℰℒ  
What, like a yearly April 20th celebration?

We need to start hosting “ art events” or whatever shenanigans that pass such as April Fool’s or anniversaries.

I’m bumping these since I haven’t gotten a response from staff yet.

On Derpbooru, if you, when using backquotes, typed it in as, say, [bq=”Zaknel”][/bq], it would give a little cursor icon when you hovered your mouse over it.
 
Will this be making a return, or is it no significant enough?

Can we have the code comment styling be slightly more visible? maybe with a slightly darker background like on Twibooru? Right now it’s kind of hard to tell it apart from regular texts.

@Anonymous #7FA2  
Funny. You’d think Fimfiction and latex would naturally go together…
 
I like the idea of being able to upload. I suspect that would take a bit of work to implement, though. But maybe I’m wrong.

I’ll add another vote to the suggestion to support pooled images.
 
@Anonymous #BA31  
Here’s a feature that would blow Fimfiction out of the water: a LaTeX parser or, if that’s too much of a security hole, uploading PDFs of your stories to preserve custom formatting.

Would it be possible, or practical, to have the ability to embed video in the comments?

@Havoc  
Given what’s already happened with G4, the ‘target audience’ of that era is mostly of-age, and i doubt most younguns are gonna find us given that Philo boorus are by default not crawled by engine bots, last i checked.
 
but yeah sure tagging system aight if they code it it happens

@Boxless  
technically true, but the other point of two is to allow people to more easily find specific forums without having to use a bunch of syntax that confuse most people. Plus having to put things like NSFW in title can easily forgotten and can seen or awkward next to certain titles. It can also be used by the default filter to allow for less chance that the show’s target audience see and read things inappropriate for them.

@Havoc  
Two would be useful, but can be accomplished without coding ‘tism with just putting such tags in the title of the thread on creation (as NSFW is already such a thing to have present from the Derpibooru days). One’s probably also a good containment idea.

@Havoc  
I definitely like the first one. The second one could be useful, too.

I have two at the moment.
 
Suggestion 1: Forum categorization ideas: Rename the general discussion category to Non-Pony discussion. In my opinion, the term general doesn’t properly express the category’s intent.
 
Add a new category called something along the lines of ‘Forum Fun’ for threads like You’re Banned, We Can Only Talk In Pictures, The Word, etc. When making threads like these, it can be very hard figure out/know what category to put them in, so a category for them to belong would be nice.
 
A Pony discussion category would be nice too, as the episode discussion category is rather limited in scope.
 
Edit: I think an uploader(or whatever you what to call it) thread category might be worth thinking about. There are plenty of pony art in places other then derpibooru, so being able to communicate with other uploaders without threads getting buried could be useful.
 
Suggestion 2: A tagging system for forum threads. Unlike the image tagging system, this one could be mainly used to detail the rules of certain threads.
 
For example: tags like Safe, Adult, NSFW, etc. could be used to convey rules, while tags such as Forum Game, Character Appreciation, Theory, etc. could be used to allow users to more easily find threads or check if threads already exist to prevent duplicate forums.

@Zaknel  
This is something being talked about right now, but its pretty low priority with everything else going on right now.
 
I personally would like to see work of lesser known/beginner artists that show promise being featured more often, as I feel like it could be a good way to bolster these artists drives to keep going. Can never have too many artists making qt poniponi after all. But like I said, it’s being discussed a bit here and there, and we’ll figure out a more regular thing in the near future hopefully.
