A new SS13 server has been created, and this one has ponies!

Space Station 13 is a game that has been extremely influential in the niche gaming space thanks to its age and the hilarity it has. The humble spessmen game has evolved to have anything one can think of, which includes ponies now too. A fully functional server has been set up by /mlp/ and will hopefully be developed for a long time to come. Players are welcome, and if you're a spriter or coder interested in contributing, you're double-welcome!

Disclaimer: the server is just starting out and will take an incredible amount of work to become its own thing. Ponies and their customization are, however, fully fleshed out, so try it out for yourself when the server is up!

This thread is for open discussion about Ponystation and Space Station 13. Here is the original /mlp/ thread, where the host has been posting.

^{( Already know that Ponybooru 2020/7/5, Twibooru 2020/7/8, Manebooru 2020/7/31 )}
>>0 says 2012/1/2, same as Derpibooru. But there’re two possibilities: one is that Ponerpics was indeed founded on Jan 2, 2012; another one is like When did Tantabus.ai be founded?, which means the 2012/1/2 shown by the image is due to importation, and Ponerpics was founded in another year.
So, when was Ponerpics founded?

A place to talk about video games on our pony site, because the topic ended up derailing another thread 🧵



Hopefully we can keep the conversation focused on actual video games that we play instead of just endlessly complaining about the industry like they do on Ponybooru’s game thread.

>post your drunk rambling here pls. (you don't have to be drunk to respond, silly)
So I was thinking, considering the fandom started back in 2010, does that mean that all the based fags already moved on and got their marewifes? so that would mean that the current /mlp users are either late bloomers, new fags or faggots who never cared or dared to take the step towards mares?
>discuss

We post music.

Luctus/Argharus — Sonitus Caeli Ardentis

it's not MLP. its not MLP related. it's offtopic shilling

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.

I wanted to ask how they are picked, and also why alot of the featured art is the same few artists quite often

Ponerpics Community Collaboration 2024

Deadline: July 7th August 31st November 30th

Tag: ponerpics community collab 2024

Hello again, I was thinking we could try and do another Community Collab this year. I know now probably isn't the optimal time to do it, with the Antithology and /mlp/con coming up, but I thought it'd be a good idea to have the collab done for July 7th as (I think) that's when the site first went live — 4 years ago. I plan to do a summertime field background for this one, so you might want to keep that in mind when creating your submission. Don't be afraid to have them in more dynamic poses such as flying, and maybe even swimming because I could try and add a lake or something to the foreground. I did consider changing the rules to allow show characters but frankly I prefer OC only. However, ultimately the rules can change if enough people disagree with them, so please discuss rules in the replies of this thread. Perhaps we could do show characters for a Hearth's Warming collab?

Rules:
Picture cannot contain multiple characters, unless the submission is itself a collaborative picture between multiple artists, in that case there can be one character per artist.
Submission must be of an OC, and not a character from the show.
Submission must be a quadrupedal show species, or near-pony original species.
Submission must be original to the collab, no recycling old work.
Submission must be safe or suggestive, not explicit.
No low effort art but beginner art is allowed (and encouraged!).
No anthro/humanized art.

Submission should have a transparent background, if you are unable to do so, then it must have a blank background with a clean outline around the character.
Submission should be colored, if for some reason you are unable to color your picture, PM me or leave a comment in this thread and we'll see if we can fix it.
You should not post your submission anonymously, as this will make it easier to verify it's legit, and make it easier to give you your badge (if you want it), but I'm not going to adamantly enforce this rule.

Disclaimers:
If you do not add the collab tag, or at least link your submission in this thread, then it obviously won't be included.
If you would like, you may post multiple drawings for the collab under your artist tag, but only one will be selected for the final picture.
Submissions uploaded the day before, or the day of, the deadline may not make it into the final picture.
Art may be also be rejected if: the image has been drawn as to take up an excessive amount of space; the image contains "SFW" fetish material; or the image is contentious political activism.
Submissions suspected to be trolling, shitposts, or spam will not be included.

If you have any questions you are hesitant to ask publicly, or you'd like to check your submission is okay via an external link (i.e. catbox/litterbox), then feel free to PM though my profile page.

Deadline: September 30 2024

yes many rules and such copied from the last collaboration, if it isn't broke don't fix it (again)

The most popular president in American history (by number of votes) has rechristened Easter Sunday as Trans Awareness Day. Here at PonerPics, we like to do things after everyone else has already done them. Therefore, we are declaring Easter Monday to no longer be associated with a Christian Holiday, but with trans visibility, so that for one day out of a 366 day leap year, we may remember that Trans people exist. And of course, go back to forgetting about them the other 365 days a year.

Surveys have recently shown that the average booru user, in looking for images of cute ponies, may go as long as six hours without having a politicized sexual orientation shoved in their face. In order to prevent that, we’ve decided to make the entire CSS of the website one big, politicized flag to be shoved in your face, so that for this one day a year you may remember, “trans people exist.” Because, you know, otherwise you might forget that Transpeople exist. We sure did. But not today!

As Transpeople are ~1/160th of the population, we think it’s only fair to devote 1/366th of the year to them through changing our site colors. Because that’s how we show we care.

Hello everypony! In an effort to hopefully stabilize the website and end the frequent "internal server error" crashes… hopefully… we will be switching the site to the most up to date version of Philomena. This is a thread to announce these changes, discuss them, and of course, to report any errors with the new code.

Please be aware that PonerPics will be switching to a markdown syntax.

Among other changes, this update will fix the following:
- errors with favorites not transferring on merged images have been corrected
- "ghosting" of gif images is fixed
- the navigation arrows should now work properly
- images from other websites may be embedded
- image uploading through fetch is enabled
- links to the website will now always say "ponerpics" instead of "derpibooru"
- 2 factor authentication is corrected
- an issue with tag count is corrected
- an issue with search by legacy score not working has been corrected
- a new batch of image data has been added

And hopefully more will follow in a later batch; specifically updates to legacy data, tags, and the merging of duplicate images.

Trying anything in the search bar at the top returns a plain "Internal server error" page. (E.g. `my:upvotes`, `not you`, etc.)

I think this one is about Lighting. It might have something to do with colour gradients, I don't study ways to describe this sort of stuff.

I was browsing, and stumbled on and . It looks like the first one is received better than the second one, even though the second one doesn't really seem much lower in quality.

There's something about the shading by the shoulder and the arms where adding additional steps makes it more interesting.

Looking at the differences in how changing the lighting and shadows of an image makes a big difference here, I'm interested in looking at some more images that show this difference. Seeing different lighting on the same image is neat, but I'm not yet able to easily visualize how different light sources of different colours, using direct or diffuse rays, or having it's colours change depending on interference with other light sources would actually change the end result. I can see that there's a different vibe, but I can't quite put into words why. Aside from the lighting error of that area of relative darkness between her nose and the bookcase / forearm, a lot of it looks pretty good to my eye.

Can someone who knows comment a bit more on how lighting changes things about the image when other factors are kept more or less constant?
How hard is it to do different lighting directions on a body?
How do you decide the lighting of an image, and at what point?
Do you know of similar sequences of images that are a similar study in lighting?
What about individual images that are specifically great at showing off lighting technique, or that do it to evoke very specific or very clear and direct vibes?

Thank you for your time.

Discuss which images need uploading. Either because artist is obscure, so imports from other boorus won't do it, or because of DNPs/rules on other booru.
Also particulars of getting high-res, and other uploader stuff.

You have one day to show me decent g5 porn. After that I am filtering g5 from my search list forever.

Thread for discussing site rules.

Specifically, I want to know what qualifies as "Keep uploaded images relevant to My Little Pony and its fandom " (Rule 2), to minimize false reports.

How far can a image deviate from MLP before it no longer has a place here?

Are fursonas allowed if they're tagged as Dragons/Abyssinians/Diamond Dogs?
Solo drawings of original species, not drawn in the show's style?
Humanized OC images that don't explicitly reference MLP at all?
Do different rules apply to OCs created by the fandom vs random people?
Are pictures of random cartoon horses allowed? Or only from certain sources?
Would a generic picture of Anon that doesn't reference anything in particular (beyond 4chan) be allowed?
What if that image was specifically first uploaded to /mlp/?

I know this pedantic, but it would be nice to have a better defined line between what is and isn't MLP-related. Also, the report page could use some work, the report system still uses Derpi's rules, which doesn't correlate with this site's rules (e.g. site rule 2 is 'Rule #3' on the report page), and there's a text box with a link to the Takedown Policy page, even though there isn't one.

Deadline: February 29th 2024

Hello, I would like to bring to your attention that when I try to navigate to the page that allows me to add 2FA to my account, I get a page that says "Internal Server Error".

I am using Mozilla Firefox v119.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows 11 22H2.
I even tested on Google Chrome v119.0.6045.124 and Microsoft Edge v119.0.2151.44, same result.

Steps to reproduce.
(prerequisites)
1: Have an account that is logged in
2: Have an account that does not have 2FA enabled before

(Steps to produce error)
1: Hover your mouse cursor over your avatar icon on the top right of the screen.
2: On the pop-up menu that appears, click 'Account'
3: Under 'Account Settings' heading, there will be a text saying 'Looking for two Factor authentication? Click here!' click 'Click here!'
4: A white page instantly appears saying 'Internal Server Error'

Feel free to move or delete this post if it is in the wrong place, as I thought it would have been best to post it here as it is a site issue, and not a general issue.
