The support means the world to me, and thanks to your kind contributions I was able to go and visit my boy in Britain. I'll try and mock up a proper recap blog—though I am notoriously terrible at doing those, I don't think I've ever managed a proper recap blog for any of the various conventions I've gone to over the years. I guess there wasWell, He's Gone · 7:01am Feb 5th, 2013
Ponky has logged out for the last time for the next two years.
And you know what the strangest thing is?
OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLE HE COULD HAVE CHOSEN
OUT OF EVERY MARSUPIAL, WONDERFOLK, AND BRONY TO GRACE THE LAND
There were two.
One was obvious, Shortskirtsandexplosions.
But why me?
WHY OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN TIME BEING A CRIME
Was it me?
I will not reveal the PM in full, as I wish to respect both out privacies. But here are the two parts that stuck out:
Maybe it's because of the genuineness of your comments on everything I do. Maybe it's because your so passionate about music, or are also obsessed with a really talented dude, or just because you've been so incredibly nice to me. One way or another, out of all the goodbyes I'm getting and all the people I could send a final PM to, you stand above the crowd.
Ponky, what is this?
You make me blush.
There's something really cool about you. You're an intelligent kid, and that comes across even when you're being a troll. heheh. It's an impressive thing--your personality just shines over the internet. I like to think that I have that gift, too, and it's truly a rare one. Some people are just dull online, y'know? But you... you really shine. It's quite a cool thing to witness on my end.
Thanks for being you, y'know? Thanks for being honest and real. There are too many things in my life that feel pretend, fake, secret. People like you and Skirts who just do stuff you feel strongly about... it's amazing to me. I'm so impressed, and so inspired.
Seriously man, stahp. Oh gos... I promised not to cry.
A kid who put out his highly biased opinion on the internet got this? In what world is this fair?
Ponky, pls. You flatter me to no end.
Aw, shit. I put almost the entire PM in here. Sorry, Ponky, but the word must get out. I am truly moved by this, and I hope I didn't offend you. I'm just so happy you took the time to... do this for me. *choke*
In no way is this put to make people feel inadequate... It's just that...
Aw, fuck. I can't even type coherently. Thanks, Ponky. You lovable Mormon you.
Thank you, Regidar. Wherever you go and whatever you do, I hope your life is long and full of joy, happiness, contentment... you could even say... nirvana.
T-that... bastard...
Thank you, Ponky. I must say that I do tell tales of your unriveled talent in the world. I shall listen to Space is a Waste many times over for the next 730 days.
That's only... 17,520 hours.
1,051,200 minutes.
620,072,000 seconds.
I'll be counting.
Lucky, you deserve every word though.
796690 Truly?
796691
Trixie does not lie.
796697
796694
... Wow.
Ponky put it better than I ever could. There's a reason you have over 600 followers, Regidar.
Ponky...

796701>>796702>>796704 I want to re-iterate, this is NOT to make people feel inadequate. This is a blog to mourn the two years we will be Ponkless.
Oh god, the feels... You are truly a lucky person to have been one of the two to get a farewell PM. May the wait until he comes back be a short one...
Damn. He shall most certainly be missed.
This.
why'd he leave?
796706
I know. I'm just going to miss the guy. He was really nice, funny, and one of the genuinely good people on this site.
Sadness
796709 Still counting down the seconds.
796710 If you haven't already, check his
worksmasterpieces out.796712 But of course.
He shall be missed.
But hey he's gonna be back in only 2 years, not like I'm gonna be going anywhere till then. 
Can't say that I know you or him well, but if someone was willing to write such a message to you than you more than likely deserve it.
796721 That's putting a lot of faith into me.
796720 Fuck yeah, lord knows this is the only site I've ever achieved anything.
796713 Mormon mission.
Baww.... I wish I knew him better... Ponky seems like a swell guy.
796724 He was great.
Let us have a moment of silence for Ponky.
And Regi, don't sell yourself short, I haven't really known you for that long, but it's painfully obvious that you stand up for your beliefs and what you think is right.
796719 Rest assured, my dear friend, that you deserved every word he said. The seconds may pass slowly, but the hope of one day seeing him again will push us forward in the two years.
Sorry, busy writing a sad story and this pushed me closer to the catharsis edge.
796723 Well, there's one thing I agree with him that I've come to confirm, you're some kinda guy here in FiMfiction and don't you doubt that for a second!
796723 And that just gives me two years to start writing myself.
He will be missed.
Interestingly enough, he's not the only one to leave for their two year mission. I hope that I can be here to welcome them both back.
Oh, and don't sell yourself short. For me, it's your genuine attitude towards life that makes you likeable, and the unique manner you express yourself that makes you awesome.
Even apart, we'll all stand together. Even if some stand a little taller, it's all together.
D'awww...
He used "your" when he should have said "you're"

YOU SHINE, I TOLD YOU, MY FUR POLISHER WORKS
You may be a clopper, a troll (and a pretty bad one at that), abnoxiously obsessed over tons of these bands, a furfag, be friends with fucking Chuckward, use your blogs for stupid shit, and are an attention whore, but you are my friend. And also have a heart of gold.... well... maybe not gold, but silver. Yeah. You have a heart of silver. Better than most things I could say about some people I know. You know me. I can't say something nice without saying something mean first. This is the nicest thing you will most likely get from me.
796845
Oh, you.
Amazing.

I never knew Ponky and I've never read any of his works, but what he said was true. You, Regidar, are a bright star in this dark universe of nothing good. We don't like you because you're a fan of good music, we like you because you show something I rarely see on the internet: kindness. Your personality is what makes you so darn loved by us. Never forget that, never forget that when you log off for the last time, you know you were loved by many.
Now, allow me to play some sad music.
Dammit, Regi, now I've officially run out of emotion. Thanks to all this sappiness, combined with Ponky's video, I'm just gonna be an emotionless shell for the next two years. Hope you're happy.
In all seriousness, you really do deserve it. Congrats, man.
Well he's right-
it's hard to believe you're only 15, you must have an advanced mind.
I wish I got to know him better. At least he finished his main story.
Well, there is a reason you have over 600 followers, and before that I followed you when you had, like, 100. Ponky is right, man. You are awesome, and you are recognized throughout te website.
In fact...
I say, 'Regidar' could become a great meme. Go on Tumblr, or Reddit, or even freaking 4chan and FIRST POST EVERYTHING.
Regi, you have the capacity to do so, and we'd all fangasm in joy if you did this.
But really, you are more than just a Nirvana-loving 15-year-old brony. You are a celebrity.
Godspeed, Ponky! Godspeed...

797026 Real. It's real.
797093 Yes...
797147 Kindness? Vas? I'm no shining star, just a flickering candle.
797161 Dementor.
797167 There are greater men than I.
797280 He wrapped everything up.
797334 What else should I be?
797621 Arrivederci.
797844
You might not have heard of him, but TheUrbanMoose.
He left just a few weeks earlier. He couldn't finish his story before leaving, though. If you get the chance, I highly recommend The Stranger and Her Friend.
Wait....he's on his mission already?
We're running low on cool Internet Mormons. Get the Brony Conversion kit! QUICKLY, BEFORE TIME RUNS OUT!
797844 Here, for you.

I don't know why, but this was the first song to come to my mind when I read this post.
Many tear!
798398 O u.
796706 Oh dear, I didn't mean to come off like that. I meant wow that's a long time.
798697 Yeh.
One more year til' he's back in the game.
1670457 Well, a year and a month...
Wow, how time flies.
Shouldn't be long now... :^)
