The Convention Thread

A thread to talk about anything related to conventions: what's happening, when, where, who's going, what happened, as well as all convention-related drama.

Who all is going to Anthro Con (furfag!!!!!!!!!!) or Trot (too autistic for AC or other pony cons)?

@Background Pony #34E6
Hyped as hell for Anthro, I might even wash my yiffsuit this year!

Real question, why is Trot considered one of the worst cons? The only thing I've heard of is some autist harassing people about masks a couple years ago, spoonfeed me on the lore bros

@Background Pony #97A1
I only know from reputation that the other cons are supposedly less neurodiverse than Trot: only been to Trot because it used to be a 15-minute drive from my parents' house (so I'd get meals and housing for free that weekend).

I’ve never been to Trotcon, so all I know about it comes from second hand sources.

I’ve heard accusations that Trotcon was losing focus on MLP, that it’s organizers mismanaged their money, and that they banned the character Anonfilly, causing many 4channers to resent them.

Are MLP conventions still a thing now?

@Background Pony #793F
Of course they are, to different degrees of quality. They died down during Hoaxid, like everything else, but there's cons for pretty much anything and MLP is no different.

@Background Pony #793F
They still exist, but there aren't as many as there used to be, and the quality of some is questionable.

Someone on /mlpol/ made a list of the still-active brony conventions in North America earlier this year, and counted 9 (soon to be 8):

*Vanhoover Pony Expo (Vancouver, BC)
*HarmonyCon (Dallas, TX)
*SeaquestriaFest (Ocean City, MD)
*Whinny City Pony Con (Chicago, IL)
*TrotCon (Dayton, OH)
*Everfree Northwest (Seattle, WA)
*Ponyville Ciderfest (Milwaukee, WI)
*BABsCon (San Francisco, CA; closing next year)
*Mare Fair (Orlando, FL; just started last year)

I don't know how things are in Europe right now, but there's probably at least a couple that are still ongoing.

@Twiface
There's Czequestria in half a week, and in a little while, there'll be Hop's Featherfest, UK PonyCon, Derpyfest, and PonyCon Holland, each a week apart.

@Gold Meddle
I also heard there was Galacon about a month ago

@Twiface
I had a gay old time at the Gala, despite my group.

The Taiwan Ponycon staffs were accused of misappropriating public fund in 2016, so there’s no conventions there anymore.

@Background Pony #793F

That reminds me. Project SEAPonyCon used to exist, and there was one in Australia too. Unfortunately, neither exist anymore.

@Twiface
TIL ponies can only survive in the northern hemisphere

@𝚽σ𝜏mares
Poni tried to go to Australia but they all fell off the bottom of the Earth and drifted out into space.

Don't worry, they are protected by poni magic and are currently orbiting the sun, drifting in the direction of Mars.

Whelp, Marefair is technically over. I didn't get to win everything at the charity auction I wanted, but I think I did a decent enough job in driving the prices up on several items.

Marefair is my 9th pony con this year, and I have several more lined up.

Purp sure is getting bold approving of trannies and furfags but thats his friend group after all right?
he was clowing it up on the auction flaunting his faggot behavior for all to see guess that he takes it in the ass while his twi plushies watches kek got to hand it to em tho pulling in genuine mare lovers with the sanctuary and making fun of furfags for the masses all while being massive fur faggots themselves is a impressive honeypot.

so whats the difference between /lgbt and /mlp again? cus I sure can't see it kek seems you guys want to become a subgroup of furfags, doomed to fail of course as anons on the ground are reportingly already noticing whats going on, this charade by the inner furfag circle is become stale and incredibly cringe.
my advice? just donate to sanctuaries anonymously or better yet help them out irl and get some real mare experience
don't forsake your personal beliefs for these clowns

@Appulman
Are you still angry because we kick you out?

@Background Pony #0498
nah, I been kicked out of alot of shit so for me its more like mapping out the community at this point,
sure would be easier if faggots where honest from the start about what they are instead of pretending, its not like I want to be around pedo/fur/faggot enablers

@Appulman
I don't think that is a problem. No one wants to be around you.

@Background Pony #5A9A
hit a nerve faggot? good, enjoy your mpox kek

@Appulman
I didn't go, I'm not into self-doxxing events. I dislike you for my own reasons and find it funny to see they are shared by others.

@Background Pony #5A9A
I don't care where you go or not your a faggot mate,
you are mareless, you lack sovl, nothing I say or do can make your life any worse

@Appulman
Projecting.

You're a meme that can be summed up by your avatar.

You're an NPC.
