Why not? Just because it posts one article relating to something you don't like?
Fuck bronies.

Who the fuck cares about a non-released MLP fangame not being at EVO apart from Bronies who probably already got the info somewhere else and are very likely discussing it there
[QUOTE=T-Sonar.0;39219640]Why not?[/QUOTE]
So far we've gotten this:
[QUOTE=Matt-;39203256]The new newsbot "AltDevBlogADay" isn't posting news at all, just personal opinions and really bad developer help from those idiots that write social iPhone apps.

And this article.
I don't want to start anything but this really is a bad news source.

You can't exactly say it doesn't belong here since it doesn't relate to you.

It was a thing they did for a day, apparently:

Either that or it was a glitch/misunderstanding on my part.

I'm pretty sure it's generally accepted on the entire forum that MLP is not a topic that belongs in Facepunch because it only causes shitstorms. Just like furries.
If you want to talk about MLP or your furry stuff, go on a MLP or furry board. This isn't the place to talk about it. I'm not making this up, go ask any sensible member of facepunch and they will say the same.
Remember how the .avi mlp parody series threads on the videos section were only opened for a certain time before being instantly locked by a mod to avoid shitstorms ?
Fucking really? This basic fighting game using a really easy game builder, has been in production for nearly 2 years and we don't anything?
I wish they would release a demo and stop bickering about what movies their waifu's should do
This is fucking horrible where's paper shotgun whatever?

So essentially, even though this news bot has been fine before, it's suddenly not because it mentions something that doesn't pertain to the interests of many here. Actually, I shouldn't say pertain to interests. I should say despised. Tons of shit that isn't relevant to everybody gets posted all the time. It's just when something about furries or ponies gets brought up sperglords get all worked up and angry over it. How about just not batting an eye to it and letting those who like it be informed? Co-existing anyone?
Christ people.
Man, one MLP article about a fan game getting pulled from an event and everyone loses their shit. I don't like MLP any more than the next FP'er but ya'll need to chill the fuck out.
wonk

This newsbot has been quite shite so far to be honest. All of the infos it has given are either outdated, irrelevant, have been explained it better detail in other newsbots, or are just not important enough to be in the news node and should be in SH instead.
I mean seriously, who the fuck cares about [url=http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1239591]random[/url] fucking [url=http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1239543]kickstarters[/url], [url=http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1239488]World of Tanks US updates[/url] and [url=http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1239296]Everquest stuff[/url] apart from people who are already implicated enough in these communities to already know these infos from better placed websites ? These are so specific pieces of info they have no place in the news node. Also notice how the other newsbots are actually posting articles relevant to the interests of most facepunch users. You don't see every single article posted on RPS or on Shacknews showing up on the feed. And even if they did, these websites remain generalist and aimed at a widest audience possible.
We don't need a thousand newsbots. Having both Shacknews and RPS is already more than enough, especially considering this one isn't nearly as good.
Oh by the way the reason the furry and mlp communities are frowned upon in facepunch is because of how attention whoring some of its members can get.
fuck bronies

I like how any MLP thread on FP always results in some shit flying around.
The topic itself doesn't bother me as much as how enthusiastic the author is about it

you're not too different from a brony you know, you're both indulging in dumb (and in your case unfunny) fads
I love it when FP flips a shit when anything related to mlp is posted, a game that probably won't make it far got pulled from Evo 2013 screening, why do you guys give a shit?
[QUOTE=The very best;39220671]you're not too different from a brony you know, you're both indulging in dumb (and in your case unfunny) fads[/QUOTE]
No, I just don't care. Indulging in the dumb and not caring are two different motives leading to the same result. Looking like a retard, I really don't mind, it gets me the replies and the ratings.
The reason why MLP: Fighting is Magic got pulled is because it's a niche thing, and that with it having more extreme effect than other games, it's fanbase is more likely to donate, so that's why it got pulled ahead so fast, even if some of the fanbase doesn't actually want to play it, they'll most likely donate.
Also, newsbot, go fuck yourself and your "pony" jokes, it's cringingly poor, not funny.
I hope people enjoy their SSB: Melee.
I also hope that this newsbot gets pulled, fuck this newsbot.

Never heard of whatever this Evo 2013 screening is.
You guys do realize the game was pulled solely because it wasn't complete, right?
Facepunch is pretty much always surprisingly acceptive towards anyone whatever their stances or views might be.*
*Except if it's related to ponies, christians or republicans

Makes sense. The article didn't really explain why it got pulled. I thought it was because copyright infringement.
Also no items, fox only, Final Destination.
