While it´s true that many people have decided to stay aside and don´t get me wrong, there might have been a few great stories, fics, videos, music and tons of pictures for anyone out there to enjoy.

Nonetheless, there would be one episode that would affect the main circles of the community (except for Fimfiction, relatively speaking) that would be worthy of a study: Derpibooru´s mess during the summer.

For those who have been unaware of it, I envy you because the more try to understand, the more you realize that it consists in an utter annoyance that reveals quite a bit about the decisions taken and the users involved. I am not going to put view on it over here but I will say that it has been quite exhausting to follow, pretty intense at keeping that tense tone. It brought even more uncertainty (As if there wasn´t enough) and no one could predict the ending either. It led to more inner conflicts and a certain amount of division, driven by politics.

That entire mess has led to the creation of alternative websites for hosting MLP images with the Philomena/Booru on Rails interface and the most positive outcome out of this is that there are several copies of your favorite images secured (working as archives) and with all the warranty to stay there just in case a site decides to get rid of them. While this department has been technically covered (so a fan doesn´t have to worry about any dramas of any kind when it comes to MLP material in the future), we´ll have to see if one can create a Nightmaremoon replace for streaming the episodes because some people cannot even have access by relying on DVDs and/or Discovery Family. I suppose that the next aspect to deal with is going to be that one.
