As far I remember, nobody at EQD's staff liked him.

Good night Seth, you waifu swapping piece of shit, you were in Hasbro's pockets and was overall an idiot, but things are so bad on the offboard fandom that you were kinda alright in comparison. Hope you have fun with your future endeavors, and that they don't crash like the Steven Universe fansite you tried to make years ago

I also remember the thread where this place officially banned him from posting on 4chan and reminded him that he wasn't welcome here ever again because of his shilling, damage control and bootlicker behaviour.

No one really cares about this, so it's most likely that Sethisto himself posted it to see how "honest /mlp/ers" would react to it. Imagine being a 40 y.o. attentionwhore

Choose the next EQD owner, Anons:

>Business lady from Hasbro
>She will take your feedback seriously and there will be new official merch pandering to bronies
>But the website will not report anything even remotely NSFW (unless it's from G1, which is her childhood memories)

>NEET horsefucker from /mlp/
>He will report everything and anything about MLP and work 24/7 to fill EQD with content
>But the website becomes his personal blog for political and other offtopic themes + fresh pony art containing his fetishes occupies 1/3rd of the page

>Normal guy
>The website goes more or less the same as before
>But the news are posted with 1-2 days delay because he is a family guy with a job

>Furry
>The website is vastly improved, EQD becomes more influential in media, all pony content is welcome there
>But EQD is a pony subspace on the larger furry platform

>A few months ago I had released plans here on EqD about launching a site for Steven Universe sometime in the near future. Hoping to get some feedback and motivation to complete the project things quickly spiraled out of control in a way I never really expected and I ended up canceling the project. Thanks to encouragement from friends and some of the staff that work on Steven Universe I got motivated to finish the project and just see how things go!
I forgot the details, but there was quite a lot of drama about this on Tumblr. The SU fans there who didn't like bronies didn't want yet another show being hijacked.

This wouldn't really be true. There's some things that they wouldn't approve of.
And speaking of new management, this is going to be a new opportunity for some to impose certain expectations on the site. Whoever is taking over may feel some pressure to fulfill these things lest they lose whatever is left of the user base.
>>
>>42966894
Why EQD retards can't come up with a way of allowing users to directly submit their posts? The only interaction from the moderators will be to just click approve or disapprove, this will prevent burnouts and marathons. And just hire multiple moderators.

No, bronies are and always were bronies, an unique phenomenon, you don't say Homestuck fans are just like furries because they smell roughly the same
>>
>>42967094
Users suck. People following eqd and Seth the narc are foal molesting faggots who can barely string together three sentences. There is no reason for the site to stay up. Every news post should just be, "nothings happening of value". There's no show. the fandom is super split. No one's going to a dedicated site to read what could be a tweet or insta post or tik tok. Let it die.
>>

Oh, I guess I have one less negative thing to say about Seth then, also this reminds me, Calpain is a massive faggot, one of the biggest I've ever seen

It would probably end up being something like the nightly roundups. The text in those are usually exactly whatever is sent to them, but then there's the quality of the content of course (which is why they end up there).

I'd doubt it. Usually at points like this, folks are following more out of loyalty than anything else. Once that's broken, I doubt most people would continue following if he comes back.
>>
>>42966894
I don't like EQD, but Seth was more /mlp/ friendly than I thought after seeing his personal social media accounts, considering that I always saw EQD being treated like shit here, so I thought Seth would be like the ultimate troon finalboss-like
The site sucks mostly because of its readers and several mods, but from what little I've seen, Seth doesn't seem like your stereotypical normie brony, correct me if I'm wrong tho
At least, from what I've seen, he hasn't made EQD cry over things like Marefair, and his name has even appeared in some “cancellation articles” about Marefair, calling him an accomplice for not speaking out negatively about it and instead talking about the money generated in charity auctions as a good thing
>>
>>42967108
There is no overlap with homestuck and furries, there is continual overlap with furries and bronies
>>
Thank you for everything, Seth. It's pretty crazy that EQD has been active since the very early days, truly a site of huge historical importance for this fandom. You can finally go to bed now. See you around

I remember when EQD included adult content. I think he's a regular dudebro that enjoyed all the edgy dudebro newgrounds humor we did, but then Hasbro reached out to make the pact. The site never recovered from the clean audience shift and his reputation as an ordinary bro was ruined by his own conspiring. He should've freed himself by selling eqd during g5 instead of pretending to like it, so he could go all in on the mare hype redemption like he seems to want.

Seth started the OpenPony threads, so I guess you could say him and his article birthed it. Before the article went up and he posted it here, it had already been out for half a year without much traction.

He largely stays out of Blatimare politics though. Most of the time he's using some overdesigned OC and casually bringing up discussions about games while running around like an ADHD retard before suddenly logging off.

You or at least anon(s) below might post in bad faith, but I'd like to tell you you've sparked a fun idea to carry the torch collectively instead. A pony magazine of sorts. To remember the pony past (and remind newfags of it), acknowledge the present creative efforts, and rekindle hope for future full of poni.
What do you think, anons?

Seems like you'd need one or a few "chief editor" anons with exceptional taste in ponies, perhaps on rotation to avoid burnout, to look at what other anons found and write a bit of text in their 2cool4friendshipschool style. This could be fun, and maybe not too much work if collaborated within threads here?

My involvement in EQD has gradually decreased over the years but I still visit occasionally to check out drawfriend and comics updates, mostly out of habit, as there are better ways to get your media nowadays. With the complete lack of news, the website doesn't really have a purpose anymore.
Still, EQD is a symbol of old times, of 2010 era internet. It was the first page I landed on after discovering bronies exist. For a long time it served me as an entry point to all things pony. Seth retiring is a reminder that all things come to an end, and EQD will probably follow shortly. I don't want to think about the time when /mlp/ will eventually end. Where will I go? Twitter, reddit, discord, derpibooru? After spending time here, every other community feels artificial and restrictive, caring more about identities than content.

Of course he was /mlp/ friendly, he comes from 4chan.
Seth used to be a giant furry gooner who was so obsessed with an OC called Flare he'd post about it every other day on /tg/. He was literally an older day schizo and the mods hated him.
And a year later he immediately switched to a spyro dragon and THEN started acting like it was his ultimate waifu, and then you know how it went with Trixie.

Pic related, here's how autistic he was about cinder, despite later changing his avatar and waifu as can be seen.

Seth was a perma autist gooner loser and EQD somehow rewarded him for being a gooner, I'm sortof jealous.
>>
>>42969150
It's kind of amazing how ahead of the internet he was. Now everyone is out here gooning to animals and living chronically online. This looks like your typical coomer zoomer in 2026. It's almost like Lauren worked with him to corrupt a generation with horse pussy.

I feel like a weekly reminder, as part of material gathering threads, could inspire even anons who don't feel particularly like they're "grandpa Anon telling stories from his early adulthood to grandfoals" to poke around their memory or the archives, knowing just what to search for. I'm too new for that myself, but I much appreciated reading these stories, hoofpicked from the vast pony past.
>>42969069
>After spending time here, every other community feels artificial and restrictive, caring more about identities than content.
Well put, anon. I believe it's the ponyfags that will be ones eventually motivated enough to keep such old bastions of Internet alive, or restart places that fell down. For the future people who don't yet know what they're missing, whether pony or Web 2.0 related, to give them a chance to stumble upon these.
I suppose everything will become less magnificent, but it can retain the unique charm (in particular, I really adore how discussions here mix those lovely ponies and naughtiness of adult posters together). On the other hoof, lowering stakes makes projects easier to embark on, so that can be a plus too.

Besides Seth himself, is there even anyone left on the website from the early days to take over? Calpain, Cereal Velocity, Xyro, Phoe, Gameleon, Knighty etc. left ages ago.

It's the reverse. Back in 2011 furries were VERY paranoid about their favorite furry creator becoming a brony, because it means creator stops producing furry content. Even now many furry artists refuse MLP commissions (while accepting Paw Patrol or 101 Dalmatians) because they're afraid it will "infect" them or something. Some that do post will preface it with disclaimers that "this is the first and last time I post MLP art, don't worry, guys!". There was even fan art depicting a generic furry being forcibly re-assembled into pony OC, this was a general feeling in that fandom.
>>
>>42969150
That's the most chuddy 4chan post I've ever read, and has all the elements of the internet formational experience, including the obsession with shit you can't talk about publically, and the resulting self hatred.
Everyone here can relate to at least half of this post, idk why you'd hate him for this.
>>
>>42969991
Cobalt Comet (fka Octavia) is from the early days, but wasn't staff until years later. He is one of the two who claim to be the originators of the name Octavia. He currently runs EqD's instagram account which actually has an active following. I don't think he's the type who'd take on more stuff though.
>>
>>42970632
I doubt anyone actually hates him for this. It's literally just everyone on this board, and probably most furries back then. No one knows wtf is going on in their brains as a teen, and that shit was taboo as fuck back then. I'm just relieved we didn't get some freaky sex scandal or something out of him over 15 years. It seems like every other faggot I've followed was diddling kids or had some freaky fetish they were chased out for.

for those who don't know, that was his handle on a furry imageboard;
He spammed cinder there so much about how much she was his waifu that the mods made a deal to one thread per week about her so they don't permadelete/ban him.
>>42970632
I don't hate him for this, but more for how much of a fake waifufag he is. He post that shit a year after changing waifu, and a year before changing waifu again, everytime going on about how it was always the one. I never changed my waifu in 16 years.

A reminder we are far from the most inactive board on 4chan, in fact we are still in the upper half, and we have still a lot more culture than many many other boards. /qa/ was deleted far more for being a nuisance and not filling its role, if anything we are filling our role pretty well.

>material gathering threads
That was one of the goals for the anniversary threads. Was hoping that others would start doing this themselves. There's interesting stuff scattered throughout the archives but it can't be explored by only a handful. It's also good to foster an interest in doing so among newer fans. You may be "too new" to know, but not to start looking.

>>42969309
That's the thing. They only get made within a day or two of the event happening. It doesn't get made if it's remembered too late. It's been a very spontaneous affair so far and would've been better if some work was put into maintaining a timeline over the years as things are rediscovered.

The idea for collaboration has been thrown around before but wasn't sure how to go about doing that. Two main issues: some substantial work should be done to show that it isn't yet another "ideas" thread that never gets off the ground. The other is that it's easy for a project like this to be mostly headed by one person, essentially becoming that person's sole perspective of the fandom's history. (And mind you, I wasn't even around in the early days. I just researched a lot to the point where I willed myself to live it daily.)

All that, and there's always irl work. That's why I was hoping it would've caught on by itself. Not a good assumption these days of course.
>>
>>42974488
This whole idea starts to remind me of a discussion from a year ago, where Anon was playing around with some scripts to present archived content with relevant historical context.

>>
>>42974719
I'm anon you've replied two posts above to. In the linked post you were replying to me as well. I'm at loss of words. Hi, anon. Fancy meeting you in this train of thought again.
Up until now, I thought this idea was first posted just a couple of months ago.
Work and work-related personal projects take so much of my time and energy, I force myself to post once in a blue princess moon so that I don't just lurk. I promise myself I'll work on something for ponies rather than satiating my tech autism, but I believe my resources are ultimately more beneficial when allocated this way. Two more weeks and the todo list won't bother me as much...

Perhaps my hope should be in the resourceful NEETs, or just non-workaholic anons. So, to the anons who "do it for them", the ponies or waifus: thank you for your time. I appreciate (You) dearly.
