I’d like to think I can. At the end of the day, I’m here to have fun, and I don’t mean any harm to anyone, even if I say some controversial things and have some extreme viewpoints. I only get uppity with people who disrespect me, and those are fortunately few and far between.

@Nightweaver20xx  
At least you can take a joke.

@Nightweaver20xx  
everyone harbors dark thoughts.  
it just depends if you let t+hem run you.

@40kponyguy  
Pah. I am a perfectly sane, well-adjusted …uhh… mostly harmless, hmm… let’s see here… largely well-meaning person who happens to harbor some rather dark thoughts.

The duck badge is a bit of a giveaway…

@Joseph Raszagal  
Nightweaver actually IS a bell.
 
Not many know that.

@ShimmeringStallion
 
Saved by the bell.
 
Or the duck…
 
Or… Nightweaver?
 
I’m not sure anymore.
 
Regardless, I’m saved. That’s what matters, I think.

@Nightweaver20xx  
The powers that be, thank you.

@Nightweaver20xx
 
Appreciated.

@ShimmeringStallion  
Fine I’ll do it:

I try to avoid image replies. I’m bad at them and my computer always seems to find a way to be just crappy enough to screw the image over.

@Joseph Raszagal  
I’m giving you one, and only one, chance to use a Stephen Colbert gif.

The normal/official Desktop Ponies setup includes a lot more ponies and interactivity than we had. As said, we had to do a rush job; coder time is extremely limited and we preferred to go with an MVP rather than attempt a full release (which was a clear impossibility).
 
When this is made into a normal feature it will be different and the April Fools thing will not be indicative of it.

@40kponyguy  
We need more interacting elements in general.  
I was really disappointed when Cadance and Shining Armor pretty much ignored each other the whole time.

@Background Pony #C905  
That doesn’t mean we can’t get the Derpibooru staff to request missing characters from those who made the desktop ponies in the first place, for when they eventually make them a feature for the site.  
I only mentioned those ones because they were noticeably absent on April 1st.
 
A couple of well-known OCs may be appreciated too. (Fluffle Puff with an interacting element with Chrysalis would work well for example).

@40kponyguy  
Pretty sure the ones in charge of creating the pony sprites are not on the derpibooru staff. Two entirely different groups of people.

@40kponyguy  
Yes, the implementation will be better and more complete. And no timescale, sorry.

@The Smiling Pony  
I did quite like having the desktop ponies running about, as long as there weren’t loads of them.
 
They tended to get in the way on pictures with lots of characters tagged.
 
I’m thinking the ‘April fools’ implementation was more likely a planned joke, but the idea proved far more popular than expected.
 
If they are being considered, we need a few more that haven’t been done yet, (ponified Dazzlings, Maud and Zecora to name but 3).
 
Any idea of a time scale before we see them again?

@ShimmeringStallion  
Yes, it’s planned. For at some point. The April Fools implementation was a rush job and needs more work.

@The Smiling Pony  
They are, but this was all a plan to bring an admin in without using a trigger-word or spontaneous fight to bring an admin to the comment section.
 
Sooooooo… Desktop Ponies as an option? C’maaawn, you’re already here, at least give us some sort of answer to the subject…

@Soda Fizz  

@Eeveeinheat  
The two are completely unrelated.

@Joseph Raszagal  
If they haven’t even added an option to delete or edit your own comments, I doubt they will add DTP for life.
