Pony Off-Topic / Re: How did you become a brony?
2014 Jan 31, 07:44:19
I can't say that at any point I decided to become a pega (no, can't bring myself to use that) brony.
I only became aware of the show last summer after a friend at work (not a brony, just a regular ol' troll) kept setting my desktop wallpaper to random pony pics.
When I saw them I squeaked "I really like her mane!" - Well maybe not but I did really like the art style. Before long I started noticing ponies everywhere. It was like a veil had been lifted from my eyes! *cue angelic chorus*
I soon discovered that the noble house McCracken were responsible for this most glorious of visual distractions which resulted in me watching an episode of the show. It doesn't take a genius to guess what happened next... as somepony somewhere once said 'the rest is history'.
I'm now hopelessly in love with these Faustian ponies but have resisted going near any merchandise 'cos we all know what lies down that road. I swear as Celestia is my witness that I will never be the cat lady of tiny brightly coloured ponies!

Resolved Issues / My observation of logging-in difficulties during the stress test
2014 Jan 30, 03:56:12
You're probably already aware of this but since I can't find mention of it on the forums I'd be remiss not to report on my findings.
Like many I could keep clicking on the log-in button for ever and get nothing but fails but I noticed that if I exited and restarted the client I could generally get on in a couple of tries. Perhaps something needs resetting in the client after a failed log-in attempt?
Anyhoo, that's all I wanted to mention except that you introduced me to my next addiction and then mercilessly took it away.
*in my best Apple Bloom voice* I don't wanna play eventually, I wanna play right now!
