You can get banned for attention whoring?  
Then why are there still pointless name and tripfags running amok?

“What a story, Mark.”

Welp.  
I guess it’s time I scavenge the the drama battlefield.

@Background Pony
 
it’s more about seth and /mlp/

@Background Pony  
>Gettin THIS mad because of a show about little horses  
You should probably take a break or something

Ha, I sense envy in /mlp/. Mods, “oh so you think you’re a big shot eh Seth, answering questions n’ sh*t? Well not here!” >:D

@ArrJaySketch  
What about Littlest Pet Shop and Pound Puppies? MLP:FiM staff worked on both of those shows as well. If you’re going to hold EqG (partly) responsible for the short season, shouldn’t you hold those series responsible as well?
 
Wild speculation time: I don’t think EqG was responsible for S3 being 13 episodes, but I think it was partly responsible for its apparently-more-hectic-than-usual production schedule. Hasbro wanted S3 to start at its usual time, but also wanted EqG to air this summer, and working on both projects at once took its toll.

Also, on the actual topic, from what I hear bans on 4chan happen a lot and aren’t a big deal. It’s three days. Like seth was even gonna be on /mlp/ for much of that.

Haha, /mlp/ drama.

s/happen/has happened

@Background Pony  
the community won’t die. collapse and turn into a bunch of warring tribes spread across thousands of websites? yeah, that’ll happen.

@ArrJaySketch  
S3 was ALWAYS planned to be 13 episodes. The “episodes that EqG killed” don’t exist. If EqG didn’t exist they’d be sitting on their asses for six months because Hasbro wants premieres for their big franchises in the fall/winter, not summer.

@ClownDicks  
MLPchan is a great place! Just follow the rules and your set.

@Itsthinking  
Or rather, thinking about it, it might be both because of the 65 episode limit, and they had budgeted for a full season, and used studio money, time, and resources to spend the rest of the time making Equestria Girls (when normally time would be spent producing more episodes).
 
I’ve understood from Lauren Faust that MLP:FIM production was already pretty fast-paced, and I recall hearing Season 3 was faster-paced than usual. I’ve noticed the lack of as many background ponies in S3, too, as we’ve had in previous seasons. They hurried production a bit on S3 so they could work on Equestria Girls.
 
Should Season 4 be good (crossing my fingers) and we get more seasons (happy if it happens, but I’m not counting on it), we should probably expect another short season if they actually make an MLP:FIM movie down the line.

@Background Pony  
I thought it was originally /co/lt and /b/rony, actually.

@Itsthinking  
Yes, but the rest of the season was spent making MLP:EG. So yes, S3 was 13 episodes exactly because of EG.

@Dr Outback  
Don’t even think about it. It’d be like beating your head against a steel wall.

so the mods had a grudge against brony big-shots? is that true?

@Itsthinking  
sounds like that place needs a few mavericks to shake things up.

@PrisonedMuffin
 
but seriously, that BP comment is THAT bad, or THAT good?

@PrisonedMuffin  
…Wow.

@PrisonedMuffin
 
where?

@PrisonedMuffin
 
oh… i dont know what to say! thank u thank u thank u, XD

@Background Pony  
Congratulations, BP. Your pants-on-head retarded comment is now being discussed on MLPchan. Your response?

@MisterComPony  
Our mod’s going power mad.
