Ask the mods anything

What artist has the most aliases under their tag here?

@Icicle Niceicle 1517
This question gets asked on the site or discord or IRC or twitter every couple weeks and I really don’t know why.

@Icicle Niceicle 1517
Not a mod, but when I was myself curious about this and scraped data to find out a few months ago, it was (NSFW) artist:champ

@The Smiling Pony
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ depending what the different names are like, to potentially gawk at someone being terminally indecisive

What’s your favorite mega evolution and what which pokemon would you like to see to see get one?

Ever watch a show called Northern Exposure?

all right, what’s going on here!

@Shimmering Spectacle

Hi, lately there are MLP character sprites, is there a way to turn them off?

@Vivi’s Corner
Settings -> Local tab -> “Disable Event”

@The Smiling Pony
Thank you so much

Out of curiosity, Idk if you guys answer this but I was wondering about the ‘derpibooru exclusive’ tag since Idk if it applies work that has already ‘posted’ in a Discord or just a random GC..

TL;DR if I posted something on Disc. already, should I still apply the ‘exclusive’ tag as I’ve not put it on like Twitter or w/e?

Thanks!

@Acey
Discord generally isn’t considered a “source” given private and non-public servers. The “derpibooru exclusive” tag generally means the first/canonical “normal art hosting site” something was posted to was derpi.

(notably, derpi doesn’t do lossy compression, so is/was worth noting as most other sites mangle and brutalize files)

@The Smiling Pony
Thank you!

Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t doing anything wrong etc. :-)

I remember this event from way back whenever it was. Can the pixel ponies be a permanent option, like it is on Fimfiction?

I would of sworn they were actually part of the site it was only for April 1st.

@Cogs Fixmore
Apparently only I have to do was Post a Image But I didn’t knew that and I lost the chance to have one xd

@Tomás Osvaldo Grassi
That’s a shame that it required an actual post. I think previous events have required either a post or a forum comment relating to it.

What were the requirements for this year’s April Fool’s badge? I see a lot of people saying that all you had to do was post an image. Was that true? Because I did that but received no badge. Were there requirements for what kind of image qualified for the badge?
