Brony Vendor Explodes and Blames Customers for Own Mistakes on Etsy


Yeah, these vendors are passionate alright... but I guess that's a nice way of saying stupidly emotional.
Look at that, barely a week into our mini show hiatus and we've already got a drama report for you guys! I mean, it's not like it's about a major vendor, but it's a new one that has had a large sales volume recently and could easily become a convention vendor regular.

Before diving into detail let me just tell you guys that this article isn't so much about the quality of this vendor's product so much as it is the shitty way they treat customers that don't give every item they buy 5 stars (on Etsy that's a perfect star rating, btw). Even if you never see yourself buying bath bombs I think it's a good reference article for how vendors should treat their customers, especially if they claim that they're making a living off of their store. It's gonna be a long one, so sit back with a snack and enjoy. More after the break!

EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION- THE DECLINE OF FANDOM ACTIVITY

It’s only mostly dead.
What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger, and what doesn’t make us stronger is probably killing us.
It’s hard to argue that, of all the fandoms of cartoons out there, there are few that had the strength, unity, and curiously enough, the productivity of the Bronies. Hell, the meetup groups for most other fandoms are paltry compared to the sheer numbers and activity the Bronies can boast for the past couple years. With all of this in mind, the natural question comes up:
What the hell happened?

Discovery Family losing viewers - C&D's CinemaQuestria



By now, most everyone has heard the news that CinemaQuestria, a Saturday-morning Streaming Staple, has been suddenly slapped with a cease and desist, spotlighting a sad state of affairs for the show. CinemaQuestria is just one of many private streamers of the episodes on Saturday mornings, and potentially just the first to be struck with the banhammer.
This has of course led to speculation over the biggest question: "Why?"
Why would Hasbro and Discovery Family do this now, after all this time, and from a business aspect why is it even a bad thing?
A few anons have noted a fact that has gone overlooked this season; a shocking trend that we wouldn't have expected. 

Discovery Family is hemorrhaging viewers. 

Crazed Horse News Intern Finally Put Over The Edge; 2 Injured


Recently the Horse News office staff has been in a very good mood: The prolonged hiatus is ending this weekend, Babscon is also this weekend, and Newsie is finally getting laid on a daily basis. This unfortunately wasn’t enough for one Horse News intern, who had ‘broken his last straw’ earlier this morning. Details after the break.
