Hi, The Magic Pink Pony (MPP) is the product of legenday loon Legume, who went all "pink and fluffy" after his "dark and gritty" stuff was deleted by the admins. For reasons unknown, many people, (some fraudulently) then voted said "pink and fluffy" images to the top of the hot20 both as some sort of protest at all the "Naked vicky with sword and helmet in temple" pictures that used to predominate, and to highlight/protest that Legume's stuff, which while offensive, didn't actually violate the TOS as it stood at that point. For a while it was funny :) This deeply annoyed some people who took the hot20 voting thing seriously. One of those people was Sinister, who left, then came back. Most of this was recorded in threads in the Legenday C&D forum, where many people got very annoyed at the whole "pink and fluffy" mess. Many people laughed, many others got thier feelings hurt. Some got thier noses out of joint, some pointed at said noses and laughed. Other people said uncomplimentary things about the way people looked when they laughed, furious IM's were sent, trademark insults flew, threats were made, but still people laughed. Then the admins closed the C&D forum, one set of people stopped laughing, another lot said "and about time too" the laughter continues. Good 'ere init! :) later jb
