Official Bob-Omg Social: Count to 300 bob-ombs!

That's a pretty good description of this thread. Nowadays there's less RPs here but still plenty of ponies and weirdness.

"The Bob-omb Counting Social: Where you come expecting to count bob-ombs against the staff, but end up finding roleplaying, ponies, and discussions that have nothing to do with actual bob-ombs or counting them."

I think like 3 of us had Starlight avatars one time.

I remember that too.

Twas a bit less of a theme and more of us all wanting to use pictures of that same character around that time.

I'm a man of my word

...huh, I actually wasn't sure that was going to happen

Hell, most of the time we don't even put bob-ombs in our posts! We either just put a number or something else entirely... or neither. The thread is more like a social with numbers in it.

Fair point lol

Why not?
Oh crap, is this how it starts again? Using a pony avatar as a joke? No, I won't get sucked back in....

Yeah, only a minority of us actually count Bob-ombs anymore. And said minority of us also tend to put in only numbers when we happen to have something else to say in the post (like these ones for example, lol)

It's evolved in some interesting ways over the years lol. It's a sometimes odd social community, but a social community nonetheless.

I wouldn't know. It's something you'll find out for yourself....

Also, this kinda reminds me of back when bets were a thing.....those were also fun times lol.

OMG great! It's a really fun season! Tell me who your favorite is after you finish episode 1, and what you think of the series so far. I'll tell you my fav once you tell me yours.

And yeah, the bets were pretty great, even though I never participated in any of them

(btw if you missed it, KoP started at 1, not 18, since I broke the count earlier)

Yeah, me and a few others and even I don't do it a good chunk of the time.

Also, "sometimes"?
Yeah, it's a pretty relaxed one too. Really, with how tense some online communities can get, it's nice that this one is chill and that conflicts that do happen are relatively minor.

Also, this kinda reminds me of back when bets were a thing.....those were also fun times lol.

Never participated in any of those, I wasn't there for most of them. I was there for the bet Luig made involving MLP (at least I think it was a bet, I forgot). Funnily enough, I watched it on my accord around the same time and it was the one bet I could have easily just jumped in on lol

I can't recall, I think the bet was to just watch the first episode of the show or something.
I can actually find the post where I watched the first episode.

Halfway through the second episode and just thought "wait, why am watching this?"

Will do. I can already tell it's going to be chaotic, lol.

That's exactly why I found them fun.

The results were usually amazing. I made sure I was never one of the victims.

I remember when Kon had to use the pinkie pie avatar.

And Crazy Twilight. My feelings on that episode remained mixed to this day.

The best one will forever and always be the legendary Dorabro, however.

Shoot, you're right. I missed an opportunity there...

It has normal discussions on occasion.

I like it for that same reason, this is a really great escape from all that, even if it's a lot more quiet currently. Conflicts still happen which is only to be expected, but as you said they're usually relatively minor. It helps that I've made a lot of good friends in you guys here.

Me neither, as I said a few paragraphs above. That might've been a different bet from the normal kind we had in this thread, but I'm not sure.

That is an unusual coincidence lol

Ah, that might've been it. If none of us can recall what it was about for sure though....

EDIT: I didn't notice that quote box in your post until now....DERP.

(Man I replied to a lot of separate things here...)

haha yep. it's epic.

tag me and tell me your favorite player when you're finished

God I still remember too much...

Shoot, you're right. I missed an opportunity there...

I remember Uni using that emote a lot 2 years ago when you guys were trying to get me to join the herd.
The cookies were to the left but I didn't want any

Yeah, it's been a lot more quiet as of late, but it'll probably pick up further into summer. And yeah, I'm glad that this thread has been such a good place to just talk to friends.

Normal in what sense?

Yeah, and it's relatively small too which has something to do with it. The more people you have, the more assholes you have.

It helps that I've made a lot of good friends in you guys here.

Thanks... it's great talking to everyone here whether be it about actual things or whatever nonsense is going on. I also appreciate helping others when they're down or confused and need time to think about something that affects them personally.
Again, thank you.

Me neither, as I said a few paragraphs above. That might've been a different bet from the normal kind we had in this thread, but I'm not sure.

Well either way, the timing is uncanny lol

I was never an intentional converter, but I certainly didn't discourage anyone from watching it either.

Yeah, it's been a lot more quiet as of late, but it'll probably pick up further into summer. And yeah, I'm glad that this thread has been such a good place to just talk to friends.

That reminds me, is Discord still pretty active?

And agreed. If none of you guys still came to here, I don't think I would either. I'm glad you guys do.

Normal in what sense?

Yeah, and it's relatively small too which has something to do with it. The more people you have, the more ******** you have.
l

As in not completely crazy....?

Sadly, that's very true. The world is full of jerks and conflict, and you're more likely to encounter them in places that involve very large amounts of people (Steam community forums are a good example I can think of, owing to experience).

Thanks... it's great talking to everyone here whether be it about actual things or whatever nonsense is going on. I also appreciate helping others when they're down or confused and need time to think about something that affects them personally.
Again, thank you.

That pretty much sums up my own thoughts, too, actually.

And gladly.

It's pretty active. Some of the channels aren't active at all, but others get good traffic. If you ever want to come back to the discord channel, we'd be happy to have ya.

And I'm glad we all still talk to each other. You all are amazing <3

More or less, yes.

A shame too, especially for the communities that have good intentions that have awful people running around in them.

That pretty much sums up my own thoughts, too, actually.

Totally not referring to what happened to me in February
...I didn't say anything lol
Seriously though, it helps when people have their doors open for others.

Considering how active it was before I'm not surprised. I've always liked this place more, but maybe someday.....

At least as far as ponies go.

Yeah, the show's following around here got bigger and bigger from there lol

It really is. I try to stay positive and improve certain bad situations every now and then, but other times I just flat out avoid certain communities and the places they go to talk because of how almost helplessly toxic they are.

I'm glad you've gotten better since then.

Well, I try my best to help others in need. Admittedly I don't have much confidence in myself when it comes to that but it doesn't stop me from trying.

You just can't fix it but it doesn't excuse their behavior at all.

Yeah, it was bad in February and a certain something that popped up made me think about myself way more than before that happened.

I honestly wish I could but I end up at a loss at what to say and I hate that because I want to help but can't because I can't think of what to say.

If you get "sucked back in" you might consider that being your next username.

He should return to Luig, if anything.

Brings back memories.

I do prefer this place more to the server, but it's still a good place to talk and stuff.

At least as far as ponies go.

Yeah, the show's following around here got bigger and bigger from there lol

remember uni's record for binge watching the show?
Turns out I actually beat that.

I watched an average of 192 minutes of pony a day

That's probably part of the reason why I got burnt out on the show.

It really is. I try to stay positive and improve certain bad situations every now and then, but other times I just flat out avoid certain communities and the places they go to talk because of how almost helplessly toxic they are.

As a moderator of a Sonic the Hedgehog discord with over 900 members in it (the server is partnered with discord) I wish I had heeded this advice.

Well, I try my best to help others in need. Admittedly I don't have much confidence in myself when it comes to that but it doesn't stop me from trying.

Trying is what matters.

If you get "sucked back in" you might consider that being your next username.

Alright, and that's a promise.
And Blossom, Luig will return someday.

Well...if it makes you feel any better...remember all those times I broke down in my worst months, when my depression was at its strongest? Well, just by being there for me and listening to me, you helped me feel better. Sometimes, all you need to do is hear someone out and comfort them, even if you don't give any hard advice. So, thanks bud *hugs* You've been so kind to me.

Absolutely.

The problems and conflicts tend to happen for varying reasons....if only more people could simply get along or at least be more civil to one and other.

Yeah, it was bad in February and a certain something that popped up made me think about myself way more than before that happened.

I honestly wish I could but I end up at a loss at what to say and I hate that because I want to help but can't because I can't think of what to say.

Time tends to help heal wounds too.

I definitely get stumped on what to say sometimes myself. Personally, I think even simply giving your support to someone and making it known to them is a help, too.

He should return to Luig, if anything.

...thank you, Hat. I really appreciate that.

I'm glad I could help you out, too.

On a different note, I watched the first episode. I don't think I have a favorite just yet. I need to keep watching episodes before sharing any noteworthy thoughts.

remember uni's record for binge watching the show?

That's probably part of the reason why I got burnt out on the show.

Oh, I remember that now!

Hm, yeah, that makes sense.

...that sounds like quite the mess. From the sounds of it you're still a mod there?

Alright, and that's a promise.

YES

I look forward to seeing both. Or at least Luig.

Sure thing

and you did

And that's cool haha. Gotta give it time to let the characters develop. As you can already tell (probably), my favorite is Dean. He's die-hard funny and has a history of dying early in these hardcore seasons, but has recently been performing better and getting farther in the playthroughs. Shows growth and maturity and character development and all that good stuff.

Luig Returns is confirmed! Make the name change the same day Samus Returns comes out to make it fitting.

Absolutely.

Sadly that's not gonna happen in this day and age.

True. Gave me time to let that settle down and time to think about that other thing that frankly, I have an answer for but I'm still sorta confused on.
