Canon roles on BronyTales are intrinsically linked with roleplay and, to a certain extent, community perception. A bit more on the application process after the break!

Welp, time for our informally scheduled bi-weekly blog!

I figured I’d mix things up a bit and share a little about one of the projects that has been keeping me busy for the last few weeks: recovering data from an almost-literal dinosaur.

Disclaimer: this blog entry will contain significant portions of technical information, but I’ll try to make it easy to understand. It's also a long read. Sorry about that.

Happy November, my little ponies! Today I'd like to take some time to reflect on our recent event: Nightmare Night. We had an amazing turn out by the community and its only natural that we should commemorate something like this with a proper blog post. To start us off, we hit a record player count of 47 players on at the same time, that's crazy! Roughly twenty or so players participated in the costume contest, and we had about 10 writing entries for our story contest. We didn't know what to expect to see that night, but we were amazed at how positive the community was, and how active people were with participating in the fun. You all really made that night something to remember, so I'd like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for joining us in the fun.

Hello everyone!

Today, we'll be going over how to use our new land claiming system, Lands! Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy!

Alternatively, you may use the official Wiki for Lands. It's a lot shorter, but it doesn't give nearly as much information!

All info is accurate as of the date 11/21/20. As the plugin updates, as well as any changes we make along the way, the info posted here may become inaccurate. We'll do our best to keep it up to date!

We resume our tale from before. It's now April 28th, 2020. Exactly two weeks to the day the attacks started, I discover a wild array of connections to a previously unconsidered individual. Background information and DDoS postmortem to wrap up our miniature saga.

We resume our tale from before. April 12th, 2020. I've just discovered that the source of the server issues we've been having over the past two days were being caused by an unknown attacker with no declared motive.

Four days before the one-year anniversary of the first public opening of BronyTales, we experienced our first DDoS attack. Not just any random attack, though - someone with experience bypassing the specific DDoS protection system I had purchased. A mysterious nemesis, no motives or suspects, a server on fire, untraceable weapons, and one question through it all: when will the server be fixed?

A story about server administration, community management, computer forensics, and a touch of noir. These are the tales of Data, the sysadmin P.I.

Running a server is a lot of work. Running a public server is a lot more work. Running a public community server is more work than both combined.

A tired 12am blog by an overworked server pony.

At BronyTales, we’ve always had an anti-drama policy. Unfortunately, no community is immune to bouts of drama of all flavors, and we have certainly had our fair share. I’ve personally had to deal with more drama cases in the past year than I’d ever had to deal with in my nine years of brony fandom. Unfortunately, it seems that by avoiding spreading the details of drama as to not encourage gossip I have unintentionally made things worse. By not speaking out, I’ve permitted those looking to tear people down to tell their own version of events uncontested.

And so I am taking some steps to document for everyone some of the more recent and larger-affecting cases, starting with an issue central to one of our larger sub-communities: art base theft.

Ok, so maybe not the most interesting of blog topics, but I do have a recipe I created!
