>I agree. He's been strangely friendly but also still with that attitude. That assessment of our status, while I can't decide whether I'd be more or less optimistic than it, was pretty logical. Basically not saying we are going to make it 100% blind optimism but pointing out we have a lot of the right ingredients that even larger boards lack so that counts for something.
not everything that sounds familiar should lead to 100% optimistic thoughts, just that as soon as he commented about the BO and gave honest comments towards the board in general, the shitposting was left aside and ironically enough, he has received more attention for posting in a more serious sense than posting monthly (?9 the same image over and over.

Eeeyup, if you are still lurking, getting proper responses is the way to appreciate someone here. That´s the closest to a nice gesture that one can get in this board.

Anyway, about the board culture, /endpone/ has created its own little place because copying completely /mlp/ doesn´t work for a different context. One thing that he might not get is that what separates the rest of the boards from this...is that MLP is a community despite the anonymity. Sure, one can turn into a faggot but it´s a faggot who is interested in ponies. This little condition filters almost all the users and I am surprised that he has managed to keep his interest in seeing our posts. I didn´t take him seriously with just those shitposts but knowing that he has actually checked this board, I am aware of his capability to criticize this project.

>If it all doesn't get destroyed by /pol/ vs the world.
that´s what unfortunately matters the most. Shitposting is normally a problem but /endpone/´s existence relies on users that have little to nothing to do with it. This means that our discussions about politics have mattered in some way because /pol/ is carrying the flag of the external imagery about the imageboards in general. /b/ did that in the 2000s but /pol/ is going for a bigger movement than just random shitposts.

Nothing has ended this project yet, it doesn´t matter what we do in this board(shitposts,greens, discussion or whatever) if the site can be wiped out because of one single vocal board, implying political correlations towards its demise,then little to nothing we can do about it except backing up what we have.

There are reasons to have fears but there are others spots that will define this place as appealing or not for those people.

In the /end/, whatever happens,take care and have a good day. MLP until the very last episode of it.
