PONYCHAN IS DOWN!
PONYCHAN IS DOWN!

It looks like the host pulled the plugged finally. Thanks to all who archived. Here and elsewhere.

>They certainly weren't quite my type of people (well, a lot of them) but I am so used to the place just existing and continuing on. It feels weird to think this place will be... gone.
Me either, but they were still not the worst people on the planet and more like us than many around /mlp/ and /pone/ side of the fandom care to admit and /endpone/ arguably sits somewhere in between both in terms of culture. It is a shame to see them die.

>Also sad to see FAGMAN data/sites die off, but I mean it is sad that the web becoming more centralized to just a few specific websites means that sites that aren't tech monopoly sites die out (too often with not enough archival efforts).
Totally agree. Some places are holding out and still able to grow but a lot are selling out from convenience and conditioning. Ponychan did squander some of there chance to have a impact from poor leadership early on but it is really Discord that killed the site. Discord is a understandably adictive and a places like do have their uses but they aren't a complete replacement for a imageboard.

This sort of thing always has left me conflicted. I can totally understand not wanting something stupid you said up somewhere for all entirety but often in places that enforces these deletion policies context and culture can be lost from deleted posts and users.
