PONIES!!!!!!!!!!

awwww yeah

PONIES!!!!!!!!!!

This is a poorly made post typical of what Skurn produces. typically there is a lack of proper punctuation. There is no effort to make letters match up. Every word looks like a disaster. There are no good sentence elements. The paragraphs you read are mostly random things given a 9 brain. There is no interesting, coherent plot or storyline. You just go from one ugly, boring word to another, reading uninteresting paragraphs and the reading is tedious and boring. There was nothing in the post from start to finish that I enjoyed. The reward for getting past one boring, ugly post is to make it to another boring, ugly post. There is not even good dialogue or jokes to redeem this monstrosity.

I am giving this disaster a 0.7, but please know that even that is an extremely generous score.

PONIES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unicorns...

PONIES!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Skurn:
PONIES!!

What exactly is it you want to accomplish with outbursts like the above?

Dunno, maybe he wants to create something resembling activity. Or he's just trolling. It's difficult for me to understand Skurn's motives. And apperently I'm not the only one. He spammed this in Discord too (also got banned for it).
Off-topic: SlipDink, check your PM's. I replayed your D-Mod.

PONIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It seems we aren't getting an answer.

Good! I just replied to your PM. I'd appreciate your follow up with some further input on this dmod before I generate another release.

Thanks very much for your feedback.

@Skurn:

Come on Skurn. Give us a clue please!

Anyway, it is nice to "see you around here" again, even if you seem to be a bit incomprehensible at the moment.

I guess that sometimes, you have to let the reason out of the window, and follow the blowing of the wind. Since this is the most active thread...

PONIES!!

I guess I'll join in. But on another side.
FU- Err... I mean... DUCKS FOREVER!!

PONIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Skurn is a supporter of covid vaccines, masks and fully believes that covid is the worst thing in the world. He PM'd me saying he is terrified that if he gets covid he can't watch MLP anymore.

Skurn, go put your mask on like a good boy, then you can watch you pony stuff.

Your post was actually quite a good read, yeoldetoast. *thumbs up*

all credit must go to brassweasel for his review that I adapted.

PONIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CHEEGA NEEGA!

I'm sure I don't just speak for myself when I say we are sick and tired of your repetitious PONIES carp, Skurn. How about something new at least?

i'm merely showing how dead the community is.

Ponies are g ay

yeah kinda sad really, but it's been 13 years since I joined and it was impressive how there was still a highly active community for Dink even in 2009. It's an incredibly old game after all.

in a way it feels like the internet getting bigger has made it smaller. Forums like this used to be cozy, with a small number of users compared to other sites, but they were highly active. Now everything's diluted and dead.

frankly it's astounding that there are still people making D-Mods a quarter of a century after the game came out, though it feels like very few people play them now.

its because we dont have your dmods anymore. where is defeat of the terrorists 2?

R.I.P

While it would be an exaggeration to say, "It is only as dead as we let it be.", we can certainly keep it alive as long as we want and as long as Redink1 maintains his current level of interest.

If you sort our dmod library by the number of downloads[https://www.dinknetwork.com/files/category_dmod/sort_downloads-desc/], you can see that there are plenty of very popular downloads of yesteryear that do not have that many more than the number of downloads a successful dmod of more recent vintage got.

Yes, there are fewer folks around, but the patient is far from dead yet.

>frankly it's astounding that there are still people making D-Mods a quarter of a century after the game came out, though it feels like very few people play them now.

There certainly are fewer, but even so Periculo and Charlie's Legacy got some hundreds of downloads. Even if some are duplicates ( i know i downloaded each a bunch of times hah), there are still plenty of people who download them but just don't actively post.

Does anyone play Rust here?

...there are still plenty of people who download them but just don't actively post.

That was my point precisely!

People who download dmods but don't join the network will trigger the cyanide capsules installed in their mouths during the day they were given birth to. So half of america is most likely dead now.

@Baphomet:
You forget that many of the downloaders are un-dead zombies who keep making more and more downloads. But that's okay, as long as someone is enjoying the dmods, that means the the DN is not dead.

downloading =/= enjoying.

if they enjoy it so much, why dont they come make an account and participate?

I assure you Skurn, for many downloading == enjoying. There are plenty folks in this world of ours that just want to use software that never want to write software. That rule applies even to the comparatively simple (and to many) enjoyable task of making dmods.

Sure, I'd CERTAINLY prefer that they all "come make an account and participate", but when you consider how old this software is and such, we should be grateful that we are getting any attention at all.

I'm open to suggestions as to how we can encourage more to join us, of course.

Unfortunately DN doesn't die until I die soooooooo.... *pulls gun out... Pulls trigger*

DN has never been heard of and doesn't exist. Would you like to purchase this domain?

finally

Then Earth disappears.

Skurn, your reasons to not continue ponyposting are pathetic. You hyped it (rather, overhyped it) for years and years.

How can you be such a douche as to not follow through with your promise to your fans and cancel a shootpost that you practically shoved into our faces for so long matched with an ego of immeasurable size?

If I sat around wanking off to my new Fluttershy and told everyone "This new ponypost I'm working on is almost done. I know you've been waiting a long time" (not on the DN, of course), and then said "Cancelled. I have better things to do", a lot of followers would drop out and say "What an asshole. He hyped this so much and I was really looking forward to it. Sucks to be a fan of MLP when he can't even follow through."

You could at least have the courtesy to release your ponypost after all the pretentious crap you posted to hype us up. And don't lie; I remember that tagline of yours about being unable to flim flam the glim glam.

Don't worry - there's no shame in releasing an excerpt. We already know it won't be finished so it would fall on us if we complained that it isn't finished after reading it.

I know I wouldn't turn my back on people who were expecting a continuation of a series *I* made. I wouldn't completely reject a cry to finish what I started. You on the other hand? You seem to revel in the massive attention you got when you hyped up your ponypost and then cancelled it with no definitive reason. It's quite sad, really. Someone who makes entertaining clopclop shouldn't cancel it unless they had a really good reason (Oh, the Derpibooru isn't working. I lost all my vector traces and I don't feel the drive to finish it just yet. Nobody has any interest in this anymore so I'll make something else). Just choose one, at least. May fool some of us but it wouldn't matter to you, right?

I have a friend that runs a small gaming channel. He doesn't have a big following but has some peeps. I could tell him to do a let's play of Dink Smallwood and and give a shout out to the network. Not sayong it will work but you never know.

Edit: wow toast.

how do you know im not still stirring the pot?

@Baphomet, if he does, be sure to shill him here so we can watch.

@Drone
He said he will do it. He said he played it a long time ago but he thinks it will be fun to play and record for nostalgic reasons. He plans on making an acvount on here as well. It might be a bit though cuz he is currently recording a series for dying light and witch hunt right now. He says afterwards he'll do it.

Edit: Btw, I know people freaking despise me on this message board but if my friend hops on here be chill with him. He is a nice guy and because he is friends with me doesn't mean he is an ass hole like me.

I haven't been around during your "getting despised days" so I have no idea about any of that, but you can't possibly have a worse reputation than our dear beloved Skurn, can you?...

I actually can't remember what I did to piss everyone off. It was like 4 or years ago. I recall me and skurn getting into it a lot. So I believe my rep eitger rivals skurn or surpasses skurn.

I don't despise you, although I vaguely remember you being pretty spammy/annoying on occasion. But that was years ago and I'm guessing you were pretty young back then, we've all been there.

Yeah, I got married...

i bet you married your war glorifying songs and now run a death cult

No, just a lovely young woman.

Interesting that you should get involved in this convo just to say something negative. Otherwise you wouldn't pay me no mind. Luv you lots too.

Why at all would Dink need Ponies?
I've seen him riding his mother's pigs.

Ponies are just useless in general.

@Milder
Great idea for a D-Mod. Dink riding a pig. With the 3D models released, it is actually a possibility. I think if I ever make a D-Mod, it'll be as absurd as I can think.

Hahaha! Maybe it's time for a clash of clans remake in Dink?

Blasphemy.

Pig rider,
he's waving a sword
Pig rider,
justice in the name of the Lord
Pig rider,
a dangerous armed peasant,
Pig rider,
an ugly sight,
the smell unpleasant
