The Only Way · 8:16pm Jul 20th, 2016

So, there's a lot of negativity on this site nowadays, and it's been adversely affecting me, and many of my friends. :applejackunsure:

It's led a lot of people to leave, both those who cause the negativity, and those who don't. I understand that feeling, because I come onto here wanting to feel the thrill I used to... but instead it usually just gets me down. (Btw, I am not talking about people who ask for help about real problems to their close friends, or even post a blog to get support from their followers, but the people who post non-stop depressing drama blogs.)

But complaining and leaving isn't the way. I love this site, and I'm not leaving. Instead, I'm going to not let it get to me, I'm going to return this site to what made me love it in the first place, one blog at a time. :twilightsmile:

If everyone good leaves this site, then it will surely never improve, but if we work together to make it a happy, accepting and friendly place - as MLP would teach us, I believe we can change it. Of course there always be negativity - that's life. But what if when you when you went to the feed, the number of fun and happy, encouraging blogs far outnumbered the negative ones? It wouldn't be so bad.

I'm not saying people should pretend they don't have problems, or that others should ignore them, quite the opposite. We should help, but also remain happy. I believe, that if this site was a happier place, everyone would be happier, we'd be helping those with problems, without them ever asking.

People seem to like challenges... Okay, so I'm gonna start my own:

Make your bio something happy: It doesn't matter if it's just goofy, sweet or some encouraging quote or song lyrics, just make it happy. :yay: And also, to post at least one - if not more, happy blog a day. As with the bio it can be goofy, sweet or a quote or something. Start filling up the feed with joy. Engage more in the community, on threads and with the other users. And remain happy throughout. Even if things are going wrong, that doesn't mean you have to lay it on everyone else. If you create a happy environment, it'll naturally help you, and others, whereas a negative one just perpetuates the problem. Do this for the rest of July and August, at least to complete the challenge. (And then continue to make things better!)

I don't expect many people to take me up on this, I'm one person and can only do so much, but if any of you listen, spread the word. The Only Way to save this site, is for good, kind, loyal, honest, funny and generous people to stay and make this place somewhere where we all want to be. :rainbowkiss:

Negativity isn't something that can really be stopped. It's a result of a site such as this getting so big.
It was inevitable from the get-go, and it's something that will be a part of the site no matter what.

But I can agree wit the idea of trying to make the site happier in general. But you can't really make an entire site happy unless you make the entire Earth happy, thus removing the source of the negativity. And, well, it's Earth.

Food for thought.

God, I'm such a nihilistic nancy...

Hence this "Of course there always be negativity - that's life." :rainbowwild: You can't remove the negativity, but you can tip the scales. :rainbowdetermined2:

I have never seen negativity but it's around I know that for sure.

I accept.
Though I will talk to my friends every now and then if I am feeling very down.
Also, it would also help if bullies would be reported more often.

My most recent "blog" is kind of happy. So is my bio.

If I could I would give this message 10,000 Thumbs up, kudos for saying what needed to be said

4103340
Thank you! :yay:

Oh no, don't get the wrong idea. :derpyderp2: Talking to your friends when you're upset it totally what you should do. I'm talking about like, the negative drama blogs that aren't even asking for help, they're just being pointlessly negative.

Yeah, it would. :applejackunsure:

4103348 :pinkiehappy:
I shared you blog

4103345
Awesome! Lot's of people's are, I'm just saying to people like you: Keep it up! :yay:

4103347
Thanks! :twilightsmile: You seem to be a kind and good person, thank you.

I take pleasure in a person's total happiness and satisfaction with what I do. I don't pride on selfishness, meanspiritedness, and negativity.

4103356 That was awsome Rain!

I'm going to join this revolution. and im going to spread the word:raritystarry::heart:

Some people will likely always complain about something. Same goes for bullies, asshole are just everywhere, but it's other peoples job to call them out on their behaviour.
Anyway, I like that you try and make fimfiction a better place and I would love to do your challenge, but my bio is already a stupid joke :rainbowlaugh:

But great to see people care :twilightsmile:

My friend. That's a wonderful. Idea

4103367
Nah, your bio's exactly what I'm talking about! :pinkiehappy: And remember, a happy blog a day is also part of the challenge! :raritywink:

Yeah, same here! :yay:

4103364
Thank you! :pinkiehappy: Hahah, yes, a revolution of Friendship! :yay:

4103369
Does my or your local time count for the day thingy? :duck:

4103374
Just once (or more! :D) every 24-hours. Exact day doesn't matter. :rainbowwild: Your local time will work fine. :rainbowkiss:

Also, no biggie if you miss a day due to not having time or whatever, I don't want to create stress, that's the last thing I want. :rainbowlaugh: I just want people to try.

4103369 As part of your challenge, I post a happy blog at 2:00, the first time I post a whole movie in a blog post, and not in a thread:

It's a musical and musicals make everyone happy, right?

4103378
Whatever you want! :pinkiehappy: As long as it's happy or silly or whatever! :yay:

I'm very happy you feel this way. :heart:

4103395
I'm happy that you're happy that I feel this way. :rainbowdetermined2: :rainbowlaugh:

Cute avatar btw. :rainbowkiss:

I don't want to spam my followers too much, but when I do blog, I mostly try to keep it happy. :pinkiesmile:

I'll try my best. :pinkiehappy: I swear.

I'll try baby :derpytongue2:

I fear that Fimfiction can never change. But, let's see if they it can. Let me give you a hint,

It won't.

I wish I had your optimism. But I sincerely believe this site is too far gone. It's a black hole that swallows all light, and there's not enough positivity to expunge it.

I do wish you luck, though. Lost cause or not, it's still a good one, and I can't help but respect you for trying.

4103587
Hey, it's not that bad. :derpyderp2: Sorry you've given up hope.

4103598
Hey, the only thing required for hope, is hope. :rainbowkiss: Just focus on the good, there is good, a lot of it. The bad stuff just seems bigger sometimes.

I can't think of something...:ajsleepy:
Suggestions?:unsuresweetie:

Challenge accepted, so let's go and make this place the happy place it should be!!! wow, that came out wrong lol :rainbowlaugh:

4103648
To blog about or make your bio?

4103662
Hmm, could be anything happy. A Pinkie Pie quote, or something. :yay:

4103665 I will try my best!:scootangel:

4103672
Don't stress about it though! :rainbowkiss:
